|
Wednesday, September 5, 2007
Hey students, here's some great part-time small business ideas to make you some extra cash. You don't have to be penniless anymore or bother Mom and Dad every time you need some money. It is a fact of life that students are notorious for being cash-strapped most times. But it needn't have to be that way. With some clever thinking, some hard work and perseverance, a part-time business can be a solution. Here are a few opportunities that I'd recommend to the student. These businesses can be started with little or no capital and requires little or no training. They are virtually certain to produce extra income and can be sold once the student graduates and starts a full-time job. Typing Service Provide a typing service to other students. Offer to type their assignments, resumes, thesis, etc. Auto Detailing If you have a flair for graphics and design and you love cars, then you might consider offering a detailing service to vehicle owners. Apart from putting on stunning graphics, you could also detail company vehicles and trucks by putting on logos, signs or advertisements. Auto Protection/Car Sound Installation If you are good with electronics and sound, you may consider this very lucrative opportunity. You can source alarm units or sound equipment direct from the manufacturer or wholesaler and put a small mark-up on it if you like but your best income would be from the actual installation charge. Tutor If you are really good in a certain subject, you can tutor school kids in your area. You could either do this at their home or yours. You will charge a rate per hour. Baby Sitter/House Sitter/Senior Citizens Care Baby sitting is an old part-time opportunity though it is still very popular and very much in demand with parents who need to take some time out. This one is suitable for females. A house sitter is someone who will live in and look after a house while the owners are away. This one would be suitable for the guys as girls may be afraid of living alone in a house. Senior Citizens Care This one involves doing some household chores, picking up groceries, taking the elderly for medical check-ups, etc. You need to be a caring, patient person with lots of compassion for this opportunity. Garden Service This can be a great and lucrative opportunity if two or more students partner up. You'd probably need a pick-up for this one and some basic garden equipment. Maybe you could borrow Dad's for a while – with his permission, of course. Pool Service Similar to the above, except you will concentrate on swimming pool maintenance. Handyman Service Here you will do odd jobs for householders who are too lazy to do it themselves. Things like fixing the doorbell, leaky taps, changing a door, painting, etc. Disc Jockey If you have a passion for music, have a great album collection of music and possess mixing skills, then you might consider providing a mobile disco service for parties, birthdays, school functions, etc. Newspaper Recycling Collect old newspapers from around your neighborhood and sell them to a newspaper recycling plant. You can expand this business by doing old aluminum soda/beer cans as well. Flyer Distribution You could undertake a flyer distribution service for businesses in your area. You could employ part-time kids to help you with the actual distribution. Garage Sale Organizer You can organize and run garage sales on behalf of homeowners who are too busy or lazy to do it themselves. The sale will be conducted on site and you take a percentage of all sales successfully concluded. You also charge a set-up fee. Photography Service If you are good with a camera, then this opportunity might be for you. Take pictures of people and kids in places like malls, holiday resorts, little league games, etc. Flea Market If you have something to sell that is truly unique like a creation of your own, then you might be extremely successfully if you set up a stall at a flea market in your area. Delivery Service Many businesses, especially pharmacies and fast food outlets contract out their deliveries. Visit a few and offer your services to them. Study Guides/Text Book Rental If you have old study guides or text books that you are finished with, you can rent them out to students who can't afford to buy them. Sign Writing Service If you are great with graphics, then you could offer to make signs of all types for businesses. This includes work on glass storefronts. These are just some lucrative ideas that I think you might want to consider. Look through the list, decide what appeals to you, plan and get started. Good Luck. ------ Anwar Ally has been in the work at home industry for over 18 years. He regularly writes work at home articles. A Step Towards World Market- LNG The statistics for then distribution of energy consumption across the globe indicate that developing countries are still to catch up with the developed countries. However, if the developing economies were to pace up their consumption to the same point as that of the average European consumer it would more than double the amount of energy requirement. Whereas, taking it to the level of the US consumers, with massive use of cars and air conditioning, would take the energy consumption to five times of the present figure. China and India, the two major Asian economies together accounts for more than 33% of the world's population, however they represent barely 17% of the worldwide energy consumption. Leveling up their per-capita energy consumption to the world average would require additional energy of 40 million barrels of oil a day or in other words, 50 % of the oil production of the world today. Presently gas supplies in EU accounts for approximately 20 % of the electricity distributed in member states like Germany or the UK. Most of the gas is pumped through pipelines from Norway, Russia and Algeria. Within the next few years the robust growth in LNG market shall decouple gas prices from oil prices. LNG would then be bought and sold on its own trading exchanges and gas tankers will change their destinations for providing supplies to the highest bidder. Despite the diversity of LNG supply from Qatar, Nigeria or Venezuela, Russia is all set to have a dominating presence in the emerging LNG market because of the considerably large size of its reserves. US geologists confirm that Russia possess 30 % of the proven gas reserves across the globe and as high as 25 % of the predicted undiscovered reserves fall in this region.

Let’s Break It Down: i) It’s easy to finance ii) Real estate ownership comes with many perks iii) Provides stability iv) Appreciates In Value v) Produces Income vi) Tool against inflation vii) A Necessity Unless you are without a home, real estate is a necessity for living. Housing, clothing, and food are three of the major necessities of life, and all three can be provided from your real estate investment! Inflation is the result of when there’s an increase in the cost of living. This can eat away your savings at a slow or fast rate depending on where you live. Abbotsford has a slow inflation rate. People on fixed or limited incomes will find their standard of living slipping behind. An effort to keep up will be harder and harder each year. Real Estate is one of life’s basic elements, it will always adjust naturally. The obvious cash benefits is an offset to inflation. Owning income producing property is the opportunity to put other people’s money to work for yourself. This is a real factor in owning property and should be viewed this way! And of course once the mortgage is paid off, all that money goes to you. Financing is one of the most important factors that the Abbotsford community take for granted. Financing for everyone outside of Canada and the United states is a hit or miss task. Our ability to repay a loan over a long term of 20 or more years at the very fair interest rates is literally un-heard of in other countries. If you invest wisely, your investment properties will have several positive returns. One example is the possibility of investing in a hotel or lager type of investment property. Properties can house the entire family as well as allow the owners to spread the cost of operation to other family members who are hired to do the regular day to day work. Your real estate investment is unlike instant return investments such as god coins, stock’s or the F-exchange market. Rather, real estate buyers should be looking at investments in a different light. He who sees the benefits of the property before the property is purchased will do the best in the real estate investment sector. Because this is not an instantaneous market, the values tend to adjust slowly on the downside. Although, Real estate involves location and is ot a commodity. The need for a specific location or area can change your values faster or slower. You’ll have more control over real estate in once sense because it depends on your future knowledge of the land.
