Mobile auto cleaning

You can clean the inside of a car anywhere and the outside at any home or office where a hose is available. If there's no water source, you can take the vehicle to a local car wash and still do the inside. People are busy, and when you fit into their schedule, they appreciate it even more. I found a wide range of pricing, from $50.00 all the way up to $200.00. Obviously, it can depend on the size of the car and if it will require extra cleaning time (like lots of pet hair, for example). But you'll want to do a little research of your own before you decide what to charge customers in your area.

Calligraphy Services

If you're skilled at this, you could make some serious cash! Set up a a business page in your town on your state on Naijacities app and personalize projects online or create a line of fill-in invitations and note cards and get them into a local boutique.

. Decorating Business

I'm sure you've seen the elaborate decorations people put up for birthday parties, baby showers, and weddings on Instagram. From extravagant tablescapes and balloon decorations to scrumptious candy and dessert tables, decorating for parties has gone to a whole new level. If you love decorating, you can offer this fun service to event planners, or you can start your own full-fledged decorating service business. To get started, offer your services to a friend or family member for free. Print up some business cards and at the party take lots of photos of your work and pass out business cards to party-goers who may be interested in your services. You can also use the images of the decorations on social media and your business page on Naijacities to provide social proof.

Freelance WriterWriting
for clients from the comfort of your own home is a great business. If you can find repeat clients who need your services month after month, you can earn a decent living. You can write for magazines (both traditional and online), websites, blogs, ghostwriting, copywriting, white papers, case studies, grant writing, video and podcast scripts, and much more. Writers typically get paid by the article or by the project, but a company may put you on a monthly retainer if you prove your talent and dependability.

 Furniture Refurbishing

If you've ever been on Pinterest, you've likely seen examples of this. Someone takes a shabby, old bed frame, makes it into an awesome outdoor bench, or takes a beat-up dresser and restores it beautifully. I know a woman who used to do this, and she made a significant profit. Plus, she absolutely loved doing it.The part you have to figure out here is where to sell your wares. You might consider local Facebook groups or Craigslist, and possibly your own website (although you likely won't be shipping goods, it would be more for locals to find you). But you'd probably have better luck (and be able to sell your stuff for more) if you get into a local boutique or Farmer's Market.

 Gardening

I love having fresh vegetables in the summer, but I wouldn't say I like all the work that a garden requires. I'd be more than happy to pay someone to plant and weed my garden. Then I get to enjoy the fresh food without all the work!Sure, you can always go and buy your produce at the store or even your local farmer's market. But there's something about being able to walk outside your house and pick it yourself that appeals to people. You could have several clients and get work all summer long. Just remember: This is a great summer business, but it won't pay bills all year round. It would be good for college students or people looking for a side income. On the plus side, it's something you could do every summer!11. Graphic DesignerIf you have a creative flair and know how to use graphic design tools like Photoshop or Canva, you can make good money as a freelance graphic designer. The projects you can work on are endless, from logos, brochures, social media graphics, infographics, advertising assets to printables, business cards, and so much more! According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, graphic designers can earn $31,720-$93,440 annually. While you can go to college for this profession, many graphic designers are self-taught.

Grocery Shopper

Some grocery stores have this service, but many do not. Shopping for someone else is a wonderful service to offer. Some people don't have transportation, others have mobility issues, and others don't have the time to shop for themselves.You can charge for your service either by the hour, by the size of the grocery order, or by a flat fee. Consider everything you will be doing. Will it be just picking up a list, shopping, and dropping off the groceries? Or will you bring everything in, unpack, and put it away? Be sure to adjust your fee accordingly. $25.00-$27.00 an hour seems to be the average pay rate, while if you charge by the order, it's around 20%. So a $150.00 shopping trip will earn you about $30.00.Related Content: Instacart Review: What It's Like Working for Instacart

 House Cleaner

The house cleaning business has been around for a very long time, so obviously, it's working! While it used to be only the wealthy had housekeepers, nowadays you'll find that it's a fairly common occurrence. People work hard and are busy, and many would rather have fun during their time off than spend it cleaning their house.The housekeeper's salary is usually paid by the hour, with most housekeepers earning $20.00-$40.00 per hour, depending on the size of the house, the duties performed, and the client. It requires minimal investment to get started, usually around $25.00-$40.00 in cleaning supplies.

 House Painter

If you're okay with heights and have painting experience, you could turn house painting into a viable service business. You will likely need to hire employees for this one; if you plan to paint house exteriors, it's easier to have more than one person. What to charge will require research on your part as it depends on various factors, including the size of the house, the exact details of the job, and the area you live in.

Interior Decorator

Even though decorating doesn't come naturally to me, I always thought would be a fun career. I love to shop, and I know what I like, and sometimes being a decorator is more about understanding what the client likes than what is popular. If you have a flair for colors, patterns, and aesthetics, you can start your own decorating business. Although you can go to school or get training for this, it isn't required. Clients care more about your results, and if you can show them examples of your work, that is usually proof enough for them to hire you, regardless of credentials. According to Schools for Interior Design, a decorator can expect to make anywhere from $20,000-$80,000 per year. You can charge per hour or, more commonly, per project.

 Laundry Service

I see massive potential in operating a laundry service. Going to people's homes, picking up laundry, washing, drying, folding, and bringing it back is a service I'd be thrilled to have! I think many moms would agree. Plus, there is a huge market for college students, many of whom live in a dorm or place with no laundry facilities. If you have transportation and a washer and dryer, this could be the right service business for you.It's entirely up to you what to charge, but common ways of calculating your fee are by the pound (you will need to get a hanging scale for this one), by the bag, or by the load. Average earnings can range from $0.75-$3.00 a pound, $2.00-$4.00 a bag, or around $10.00 a load.

 Personal Assistant

A personal assistant can do shopping tasks, but they are different than a grocery or personal shopper in that they also do a wide variety of other things. Picking up dry cleaning, going to the post office, and paying bills are just a few of the many tasks you can offer in this business. You're only limited by your time, and you set the standard for which type of tasks you're willing to complete. Personal assistants typically get paid by the hour, and you can charge anywhere from $14.00-$20.00 an hour and up.When thinking of many of the above businesses, something to consider is that as the boss, you can also subcontract out almost all of these services. Say you want to start a painting business but don't want to be the one climbing the ladder and doing the work — you can start the business yourself and use crews to come in and do the work for you. This can also save you from having to purchase equipment. Of course, your cost will depend on many factors, including how much you pay the crew. But after buying supplies and paying the subcontractor, you will still be left with a profit.
