What's up BBHF! I am in the midst of getting laid off from my job so need to make money selling something I can do from home (don't want to look for another job unless selling stuff fails)... what ideas do you guys recommend in which I can get started on a low budget and quite promptly?
Btw I don't mind selling door to door or on the phone as I've done both.
Some ideas I'm considering:
~Selling artisan bread door to door from a local bakery to the outer cites 45-60min drive
~Buying salvage cars on auction website, fixing and flipping on craigslist
~Making popular ethnic food at home then selling by the dozen to local businesses and door to door
~Going to thrift stores and yard sales, buying furniture then fixing and flipping on craigslist
~Talking to Real Estate Investors and offering to put up bandit signs for them and driving around looking for abandoned houses for them in exchange for $$
~Building a "local city page" full of local "likes" on facebook then offering to run promotional ads for local businesses (not likely)
~Offering to design and distribute "promotion flyers" for local businesses that would bring in more clients. Here I would just design the flyer with a direct marketing promotion and write the copy (but then I would have to find a low priced printing company to partner with at the right price so that I could still be profitable, and I would have to personally go out and pass out flyers and put them under parked car windshield wipers
~Selling home made costumes to the "music festival" niche
So those are just some ideas I've been considering, the one that I have top of mind is making and selling ethnic food. I live in a city/town with a 90,000 population so not a big city. Im willing to put my head down and make something work. I appreciate any ideas and advice.
Thank you!
