Five Businesses You Can Start for Next to Nothing

Any Job People Hate To Do Themselves: Take a few minutes to think of all the jobs that people hate to do themselves and you should come up with a large list of possible small businesses. If you like to clean, there are plenty of people out there who would love to pay you to clean their house. If you don't mind washing windows, you should have plenty of business in no time. All these jobs, and many more like them, can be started with little or no money.

Tutoring: If you have a skill that others would like to learn, tutoring or teaching classes can be an excellent way to build an extra income. Whether it is math, music or a foreign language, there are a lot of subjects and skills that people are willing to pay to learn.

eBay(EBAY Quote): There are tens of thousands of people who make their living off of eBay and many more who supplement their incomes by selling on eBay part time. Start up costs are low, since most people already have the equipment needed to list auctions. And if you begin by selling stuff around your house that you no longer need, that will help offset costs. It will take time and a good eye to learn what items you can sell profitably, but if your interests lie in this area, there is plenty of opportunity to make a decent second income.
