3. Video Entrepreneur

Use your video camera to make a wide range of videos for clients including: local rock bands, real estate brokers, new home owners/builders, film to video transfer jobs, insurance videos, video resumes, instructional videos, surprise videos (baby showers...), wedding day videos, etc.

Start up cost: Plan on spending about $1,000 to get started if you need to purchase a camera.

Things To Think About: Promote your business via ads, tables in mall shows, flea markets, craft fairs, etc. Set up a monitor and show a demo tape of your work.

4. Commercial Cleaning

You carve out a niche for yourself whereby you concentrate on small businesses that need cleaners to come in at night and so their thing!

Start up cost: You'll need to advertise and send a direct mail letter to your local small businesses and you'll need to invest in cleaning supplies. Figure on spending about $400.

Things To Think About: As you grow, you'll need to hire employees who will do the work for you. You'll act as an agent booking the jobs as you go.

5. Bird Feeder, Bird House Biz

You make and sell bird-houses and bird feeders.

Start up cost: You'll need about $300 to get started for materials and ads. Chances are you already have samples of your work available that you can show local gift and novelty stores. Photograph your samples.

Things To Think About: Visit bookstores, too, and other shops in the genre and ask if you can display some of your creations along with your business cards.

6. Medical Disk Information Service

You record all of your client's medical history on a disk and when they visit a new doctor or have to move to a new area, they will have all of the information right at their fingertips.

Start up costs: You'll need a computer and plenty of blank disks. You'll need to advertise your service. Figure on $500 with a computer and $2,000 if you need to purchase a computer.

Things To Think About: Drop into local health clinics in your area to drop off fliers about your business.

That's all for today. Come back to tomorrow to check out the other exciting and innovative business ideas you can start and run from your home.
