Small Business Startup Plan – Alternative Ideas That Work Today?

I'm brainstorming non-traditional ideas for a business that I can start on a part-time basis and specially interested in plans that are easy to set up and can be run on a shoestring budget.

If you're looking for offbeat ideas to start off on a limited budget here are 3 proven jobs / businesses that I know work today:

1. VINYL LETTERING & PRINTING
This is a lucrative home business that very few know about. You can charge per letter for your decorative or calligraphic ideas and still have startup costs within budget.

2. LOW BUDGET FILM MAKING
From websites to media houses, everyone needs video that's high on quality but low on cost. With the dirt-cheap (even free) tools available on the market today, this is not as hard as it seems.

3. FREELANCE VIRTUAL ASSISTANT
This is the more 'traditional' of the two above but has a proven place for companies looking to outsource their customer support jobs to people around the country. These companies have been around for a long time and the trend continues even today.

    No one is going to give you an idea that is profitable, or else they would do it themselves. Also, we don't know your individual skills. But, if you follow this link you can get an idea of a way to keep the budget really low.

    Its a cash flow oriented start up.

I just wanted to say thanks for all your help over the summer. Your interest and dedication into helping me start up my own business did not go unnoticed. Your ideas brought up in the breakfast meetings and over email added great value towards the further success of my business career. I hope you have a good fall/winter and I'll see you next summer at the lacrosse games. Thanks again.

I enjoyed the program, and I have to say that I was lucky enough to have a real mentor like you. You have tonnes of experience in business and were able to give me great advice, especially when it came to advertising on the internet. I'm happy how it continues to turn up new clients. You've provided me with everything I could as for as a "mentor", I couldn't have imagined anything you could have done better. You got to my questions, you've applied your knowledge to help me and I sincerely appreciate your undying effort to help me! Thank you for your fine work, you've been a great help and I wish you good luck next year with your new set of students. I will be sure to keep in touch! Justin Beaudoin, Founder - MobiTek -
