101 Ways to Make a Living
To make a life...
...When there are no jobs
Provide a useful service where it is needed
Many services are available at businesses that offer them. Many people would be willing to pay extra for the same service if it is delivered where they are. Here are some ideas:
Dog grooming.
If you love animals and know that you can handle even the fiercest of dogs, then advertise that you can come to people’s homes to wash their dogs, trim their nails and treat them for ticks and fleas. You’d be surprised how many people are willing to pay for such a service, because they simply don’t have the time to do it themselves or to take their dogs to a place where the service is offered.
Hairdressing
If you’re good at cutting or styling hair, or if you are an unemployed hairdresser, offer to go to your customers’ homes.
Wash and wax cars where they are.
Go to your client’s work place and clean their car while they’re at work … or wherever is convenient for them. Your service could be a simple wash and dry or as extensive as wash, dry, polish and detail.
Car mechanic.
Do you know how to fix cars or trucks? Do you have the tools to do so? Have you done work for people who are willing to give you references? Yes? Then get word out that you are available any day of the week, at any hour. You will get business.
Services for the elderly or the very rich
Here are some ideas:
House sitting.
Single and without fixed abode? Let people know that you are available to house-sit while they're away on holiday. You may be required to move in for anything from a few days to a few weeks or months. If you organise this well and develop a good reputation, you may not have to pay rent for months on end, and live in the lap of luxury while doing so. You will need character as well as job references to do this one. Beware: one slip up and the doors to this opportunity will close.
House watching.
You may be required to visit the house only once or twice a day, to feed the pets, water the plants, empty the post box and turn some lights on and off.
Children's Parties.
Many mothers want to relax and enjoy their child's birthday party too. They can, if you take care of the food, entertainment, games and little gifts or prizes, all within the party theme.
Grocery shopping and errand running.
Advertise that you are available to do shopping and errands on specific days for people who are too busy to do it for themselves. If you stay close to some shops, you can even do this on foot. Charge a flat fee for the service.
Walk the dogs.
Busy or elderly people may not be able to get out to give their dogs much needed exercise. Walk their dogs for them. Wear plastic gloves and put an inside-out plastic bag over your hand. Grip the mess through the plastic then turn the packet in on itself so it’s no longer inside out and the mess is inside the packet. Use a shovel for messier messes.

Either buy the "Business in a Box" - and get 100 magazines for yourself and others to sell - or start off by
buying and selling just five at a time until you can afford to buy the "Business in a Box". Look in the
