No woman has to be idle, there is always something to do to make money by the side and we are all for that.
We know that there is no woman who does not have a particular chore or thing that she does so well. Yes, your thought is correct- why not make a business out of it?
There is no need to starve or be unhappy. Pick up that gift or talent that you have and let it fetch you cool cash.
Here are 11 ways every woman can make money:
1. Catering
If you love cooking, catering is good business because of the simple fact that good food is always good business. The good thing with catering business is you can start with any amount of money – no matter how small, medium or big scale. Plus you can choose to start either outdoor catering services, indoor or both. The choice depends on how financially buoyant you are.
When you look around you, we guarantee you must know at least one woman who was able to turn her fortunes around through food/catering business. And you also know someone who needs the help of a caterer, why not build on that?
2. School runs
School runs business is another potentially profitable business idea for women. The reason is some parents might not have the time to pick their kids from school. We know people contract keke (tricycle) operator to handle their school runs for them.
So the business idea is that if you are going to pick your own kids from school anyway – and you don’t have anything urgent to do at home – you can arrange with other parents in your neighborhood and start your school runs business.
Don’t you think this is a cool way to make money?
3. Tailoring/ Fashion design
Whether or not you love sewing, this does not matter. Fashion design does not have to be very tasking.
There are cloth makers to whom you can give a contract to do the tailoring. They will make the clothes using whichever design you choose. They will even let you choose your own label and attach the labels to the clothes.
Your part will be to market these clothes in boutiques and corporate offices/ business ventures around you.
