Unique home-based business opportunity

We’ve shared several unique home-based business opportunities in recent months. Here’s a quick rundown of the ones we’ve featured and where you can find more information

If you have experience in recruiting, hiring, training, and interviewing, you may be able to provide career counseling services to those looking for a new job. Career counselors are often able to charge fairly high rates because the service they offer is so valuable.

One way to establish yourself online is to start a blog sharing some of your advice and answers to common questions. Appearing on a podcast is another great way to get your name out there and share your knowledge with the world while building your own business.

If you love to travel, why not help others create the perfect trip? Some in-house travel agents provide general booking assistance while others focus on special vacation packages such as Disney or cruises.

Big vacations are the highlights of people’s lives, and helping make those dreams come true can be a really fun way to make a living.

People not only want to travel to exciting destinations, they want to capture those memories in images. This unique home-based business opportunity will help you show local tourists the best spots to capture those moments in time.

Take it to the next level and offer your services as a destination photographer If you live in an area where tourists flock to get married, celebrate big events or attend a fancy annual event, you may be the local tourist-oriented photographer of choice. If you have the skills, tools and knowledge, this is a great way to work from home on your own schedule.

Moving to a new city is one of the most stressful events a person can experience. Welcome service businesses help connect new residents with essential (and not-so-critical but oh-so-important) services in a new city.

You can be the official welcoming agency for new people in your area and help set them up with health care, automotive services, reliable repairers, and more. If you’re that person all your friends go to for recommendations on where to find the right so-and-so — or if you know who that person is — you’re already off to a great start.

Do you get compliments on your voice and accent? There is a huge demand for voice over artists of all ages, genders, races, styles and more, and many of these people work from home.

Gigs can include illustrated books, radio commercials, video commercials, video game voiceovers, podcast introductions, corporate phone messages, and countless other possibilities. You’ll need to bring your own recording equipment, but you can find decent options on Amazon that won’t break the bank.

If you have a knack for cooking, coming up with delicious food, or sniffing out the best version to eat, you can become a recipe developer. These gigs are all over the place when it comes to paying, but once you find a niche you like, you can get paid well for doing something you really enjoy.

Being a recipe developer often goes hand in hand with having a food blog, but not necessarily. That said, it could open some interesting job doors for you!

Home staging is a fun business, especially if you’re into interior design or have a good idea of ​​where to go for a desired effect. But the best part is, you are no longer limited to doing personal consultations and services.

Technology like Skype has made it possible to take your staging services and consultations online, meaning you can work from anywhere in the world, offering services anywhere in the world. Home stagers bridge the gap between completely bare walls and full-on interior designers, and start-up costs are minimal. You will need a computer, a good camera and ideally a smartphone that can quickly take and send photos to clients

Most moms choose cloth diapers to cut costs, protect the environment, and keep sensitive-skinned babies comfortable. Unfortunately, using cloth diapers takes a lot more time and effort than disposables. This has opened up an opportunity for those who know a lot about the maintenance of different types of cloth diapers and who don’t mind dirty work.

Diapering services deliver clean diapers and pick up dirty ones, usually weekly If you are willing and interested, this can be your livelihood. If you stay at home, you can continue doing laundry all day. You can also be specific about what types of cloth diapers you offer, such as only prefolds and covers (which can be washed on a standard cycle) or only all-in-one diapers (which don’t need to be “reassembled” once. done), to make the process more efficient.

foraging

The “farm-to-table” craze in fine dining has put an interesting spotlight on foods like wild herbs, berries and mushrooms. If you know your way around wild edibles, you can earn up to $30 an hour selling your produce to local chefs.

Franchise owner

From website design to children’s photography to cleaning services and beyond, there are numerous home-based franchise opportunities. The great thing about franchises is that a lot of the business is already taken care of for you. You just need to decide on the best business to join and keep it afloat using the proven systems that come with the franchise.

Some franchise opportunities that work great for the work at home crowd include:

• Motipli, which will let you create and sell apps to local businesses. If you’re into technology, startups, or improving people’s lives in general, this is a great opportunity.
• HRN, or Home Referral Network, sets you up as a person to screen and refer home improvement professionals in your area. You are paid a commission by the contractor for each referral you make and you can work as much or as little as you want.

Social media for business falls under the umbrella of “digital marketing” and is something that traditional marketers are dealing with. Online businesses and “micro-businesses” (one-person enterprises such as bloggers, direct sales consultants, and coaches) also need social media, but the finer points aren’t always easy to master.

This means that there is a huge opportunity for anyone interested in social media marketing. You can specialize in one platform, or offer services across multiple platforms. It’s a great way to have some fun, work from anywhere, and get paid.

Becoming an online researcher may never have occurred to you, but if you’re one of the many people who enjoy learning new things, research may be right up your alley.

Freelance researchers aim to answer questions for businesses and individuals who need to outsource their data collection. Salaries are decent, with top researchers earning several thousand dollars per month.

What’s more, it comes with all the benefits of working from home (setting your own schedule, avoiding long commutes, etc.) with the added bonus of lifelong learning.
