101 Ways to Make a Living
To make a life...
...When there are no jobs
Useful services
Know how to do something for yourself and how to do it well? There are many people out there who wish they could do
it for themselves, too. Offer to do it for them. Here are some ideas:
Can you sew, knit, crochet or do anything of the sort?
Many people have no idea how to replace a zip, sew on buttons, put in a hem, extend a pair of jeans, re-size
a school uniform so that it can be used for many years of growth, or fix rips and tears - especially university
and college students who are away from home for the first time. Advertise on the campus bulletin boards and in
the neighbourhood that you are a "mom away from mom."
Window cleaning.
Homeowners and business owners often neglect window cleaning. Offer a monthly cleaning service.
Pool cleaning.
A little knowledge and regular maintenance can turn a nuisance pool into an item of pride and joy.
Handyman services.
Sell your abilities to change plugs and light bulbs, fix leaking taps, clean gutters, repair washing machines,
put up shelves or replace broken windows.
Building maintenance.
Are you an out-of-job builder? Do you know others with different building skills? Offer building maintenance
contracts to small and medium-sized businesses.
Remove doggy-pooh from lawns.
Make yourself available one or two days a week in a particular neighbourhood. All you need is a poop-scoop and
plastic bags ... and a clever way to market yourself.
Gardening services.
You will need experience and the tools of the trade. Be creative: offer your services to petrol stations and
businesses with shoddy gardens. Go one step further: convince the owners to allow you to plant edible things:
fruit-trees, granadilla vines and other ornamental plants that can feed hungry passers-by.
Unusual services.
Here are some ideas:
Create stencilled pavement house numbers.
Use old x-ray plates to create large stencils for the numbers 0 to 9 - all in the same size. Stencil your house
number on the small ramp between the road and the driveway to your house. Take a photo of this and then go market
your product in a neighbourhood where there are no street numbers on the sidewalk.
Sorting / cleaning service.
Anyone with a garage, Wendy-house or a spare room knows what a chore it is to sort the stuff that accumulates in it,
and clean it out. If your garage is spick-and-span, with designated spaces for tools and things, offer to do this
for others. Resell or recycle the items they don't want.

MAKE EXTRA INCOME! SELL ZA DIFFERENCE MAGAZINES!
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
ZA Difference magazine which you can buy at some CNA's, some Spars, and some Exclusive Books stores, or
