999 business ideas: 1-8

By Sean Andy

1. Start a life history photography service. Produce an album of photographs which is a photographic history of a client's life. For example take photographs of a client's hospital of birth, former schools, places of work, place of marriage, houses they once lived in, etc.

2. Use a computer or word processor to provide a letter and manuscript typing service. Customers would be students, academics, small business people and tradesmen.

3. In a city where there are many theatres, open a small shop which is devoted to selling things related to Shakespeare.

4. Write and publish a monthly newsletter which helps those who want to give up smoking. The ability to give up smoking depends what's happening ina persons mind. A good newsletter could make the difference between success and failure.

5. Locate a source of fresh, pure mud and package it in specially sealed containers. Sell this by post for beauty treatment.

6. Establish a directory of products no longer made. This directory might include sections on toys, novelties and household goods. Design the directory for business people and inventors who want to know both what has been made before and what ideas might be revived and/or modified.

7. Become a make-up consultant. Advise women on what make-up suits their individual mix of: skinshade, hair and eye colours, nose and facial shape, etc. Once you have established your consultancy, make more money by teaching others to be make up consultants.

8. Make up pretty bags filled with aromatic herbs which are designed for hanging around the house or in cars. Add an elastic string to each bag so that one pull will release some of the aroma into the air. - 15478
