Whether you want to make extra money on your free time or jumpstart a full time business, beginning a low cost weekend business is a great way to test the entrepreneurial waters. And before you know it, you will already be running your very own business full time. Here are a few weekend business ideas for you to get started.
Party Balloon Services
The demand for party balloon decorators is endless and isn’t just limited to children’s parties. Start marketing your services by creating playful presentations that will be distributed to local event planners, daycare centers, banquet halls and children’s stores. Joining local networking clubs and organizations is also a great way of getting the message to the public. You can also advertise your services online by engaging in social media sites like Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn.
Educational Tutor
A lot of parents these days resort to extracurricular tutoring to ensure that their children are receiving proper education. For you to become a tutor, you only need to be an expert in the field that you want to tutor. But beyond that, the business is pretty easy to start. You can offer personalized tutoring services at home or have clients coming to your home office.
Bookkeeping
Every business requires a bookkeeper to send out invoices, pay bills, reconcile bank statements and handle financial records. If you are a whiz with numbers and you enjoy getting things in order, then you can earn a good amount of money from being a part time bookkeeper. Make sure you stay updated with the latest tax regulations. You will also need a computer, printer and good accounting software.
Vending Machines
The snack vending business is considered as a multibillion dollar industry these days. Start your very own business by purchasing a few vending machines and stocks. The key to this business is choosing a good location for your vending machines. Find a high foot traffic area and position them as close to each other as possible. If they are too far away, you’ll waste time and travelling expenses just to service them.
