70. Assisting in Public Relations (PR)
If you have had a long history of working with non-profit organizations, have taken the lead in organizing many charity events and have a long list of glowing testimonials, you can easily start a public relations consultancy service.
Many corporations are cutting down their PR staff, which is not to say that there is no PR work to be done. They are merely letting outside agencies handle their PR work for them. It is therefore an ideal opportunity for you to start a home-based business based on PR consultancy.
71. Breeding Animals
If you love animals, you could not possibly have more fun than with this business. You will of course need to specialize in a particular breed, know all about the animal standards and probably need a license to operate as a breeder.
72.
Cleaning Apartments
If you have a knack for cleaning and love to see a spick and span apartment, you could help apartment owners by cleaning rented apartments after an old tenant moves out and before a new one moves in.
73.
Helping with Resumes
With more people being laid off than ever before, job hunts are getting more and more competitive. And nothing stands out like a well-written resume. If you have had some experience in an HR department or have a talent for writing, you could start a home-based business writing resumes.
74. Dealing in Rare Books
If you are an avid reader yourself, you will know the extent to which people will go to get a rare or used book that they would like to add to their private collection.
You could be running a small bookstore from home or you could start a business dealing only with rare books. You will of course need a good network with publishers, bookstores and suppliers so that they can inform you once they have something in their store. You will have to be very detail-oriented and highly organized to make profits in this business.
75. Having a Database of Stock Photography
Stock photographs are in great demand for a variety of reasons – to be used in print advertising, website designing or in marketing collaterals.
If you have a good eye for getting interesting, high-quality photographs and have a good network of professionals who will supply you with these photos, you can resell the photos for a reasonable price and still end up making a decent profit, for work that is already done.
76.
Buying and Selling Used Computers
The technology used in computers is evolving so quickly that every few years, corporations and many individuals prefer to buy a new machine rather than overhauling their system. Such fully functioning computers, though discarded can be used without any problem.
Individuals who have limited budgets and use computers minimally, like non-profit organizations or start-ups may be interested in such computers.
77. Website Producer
Creating a website has many aspects to it – from the navigation to the color scheme, from the graphics to the content, from the programming to the marketing.
As a website producer, if you can offer most of these services and are able to deliver a cutting edge website that proves popular with customers, you will never be out of work again.
We have thus given you a list of 77 business ideas to choose from. Of course, this list is by no means exhaustive – it is merely meant to show you the possibilities that exist for home-based businesses and to guide you on your way to selecting one for yourself.
