Sewing and Alteration Specialist
People will always need clothing hemmed and buttons mended — and you could be the person to do it. If you love sewing and have a sewing machine at home, start by offering simple services like those mentioned above and expand your repertoire to dressmaking and design as you build a customer base and demand.
Although sewing do not require a certificate but it depends on your talent of stitching and altering but if you really want to upgrade your skills you might consider few courses like:
International Open Academy’s Tailoring Course for Beginners
Jackson Sewing Academy’s Basic Alterations Course
American Bespoke Tailoring Academy’s Programs
Personal Trainer
You can Offer in-home consultations, personalized nutrition and exercise regimens, and community boot camps to get the word out.
To start a personal training business, you’ll need a certification. If you already earned a degree in an unrelated discipline, we recommend starting with the NASM-CPT certification, which is nationally accredited and only requires a high school diploma or GED. You can also get a Bachelor’s degree in physical and exercise science — here’s one example from Emory & Henry College.
Life Coach
Social Media Manager
Influencer marketing has become more common and many influencers rely on marketing agencies or employees to help them run their social channels.
Resume Writer
Creating a resume, cover letter, and — when necessary — portfolio for a new job can be tough and time-consuming. That’s why many people hire help. Assist clients with tailored resumes, beautifully edited cover letters, and carefully-crafted portfolios that make it impossible for employers to ignore.
A resume writing business is economical, has few overhead costs, and has few educational requirements. We still recommend having an Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree and a few resume samples on hand. If you still feel that you need to brush up on your resume writing skills, you can take a course like Coursera’s or LinkedIn Learning’s.
Once you’ve gotten resume writing down, you can expand your business to include cover letter writing, and even offer career coaching services in conjunction with these services.
Freelance Writer
There are no educational requirements to freelance writing, but you do need strong writing skills.Even if you create a few sample pieces to have on hand, they’ll help exhibit your work and attract new business.
Clothing Boutique Owner
Starting a clothing boutique is highly doable, and you don’t need to have a fashion degree. You can start with an online business
Translator
Speak a foreign language? Start a translation service. Consider specializing in a specific genre of translation, like medical or financial translation, as you might be able to fill a niche need in your community.
Crafts
Creating novelties by hand is a fun and unique way to start a small business.
Interior Designer
Similar to landscape design — there are many people who have the ability to buy the furniture and home decor they need to fill their rooms, but few who know where to start. It might take some time to build a portfolio but documenting your projects and sharing them online can build a fanbase beyond your wildest dreams.
Tutor
Do you love teaching?Advertise your services through local schools, community colleges, community centers, and even social media to get the word out and build a customer base.
Event Planner
You might choose to specialize in a specific type of event — like weddings or company meetings — or set yourself up as an event planner of all trades. If you’re highly organized, are detail-oriented, and have experience planning large events, it might be time others benefit from your skills.
Coding
Frontend, backend, and every type of code in between, this skill requires no in-person interaction with your clients. But one skill you’ll want to carry over from the in-person world for this type of business is active listening. It can be easy to zone out while building a product, but developing a connection with the client is just as important as developing the code for their website.
Data Entry
Many businesses seek data entry clerks to help them enter information into their computer systems and spreadsheets. If you have strong computer and typing skills, this might be the business for you.
Daycare
Childcare continues to be in high demand. While nannies and nanny shares are popular right now, a good daycare is hard to find. Fill a need in your neighborhood by opening your own. And, as always, make sure you’re complying with your city and state’s zoning, licensure, insurance, and inspection requirements.
