Summarize the following:
If you enjoy the outdoors and working with your hands you may want to try your hand at agriculture.  Make sure that you plan for winter and summer months to keep your business in practice.  This could mean lawn care in the summer and snow shoveling in winter.  You could also consider painting houses and general maintenance. If you have a passion for animals, there are plenty of people who work long hours and need help caring for their pets.  Look into starting a dog walking and pet sitting business.  Dog walking is a consistent job needed on a daily basis.  Consider involving a friend to assist you should you be sick or unavailable.  Pet Sitting can be a boost of your income on an irregular basis. Working FOR yourself doesn’t necessarily mean working BY yourself.  You may have fantastic people skills which you could put to work caring for others.  This could mean child care, but there are also plenty of elderly people who could also benefit from your assistance and your company. There is a good chance that you are more skilled with computers than the aging owners of your local businesses.  Jobs requiring your technological skills could span from setting up software to organizing digital files to creating websites.  Make an online presence for yourself by creating your own website which showcases your skills. Artists don’t have to starve.  Jobs abound for graphic artists if you are capable of transferring this skill to the computer.  If not, look for work designing posters for local bands or businesses.  See if you can get some of your work into a local gallery or public space like a coffee shop or restaurant, and place a placard next to each print with the title and purchase price.  Make sure the business owner has your contact information to facilitate the sale.  Their assistance is worth a percentage of the sale.  This should be agreed upon as part of the agreement before hanging your work. Writers can submit work to online and print magazines.  There are also plenty of options to work freelance as a blogger or content creator for businesses.  Take the work you have already created and send it to publishers seeking content which relate to your style or topic.  Seek out businesses attempting to increase marketing and offer to blog for them or even write content for their promotional material.  You will need to understand the company, their mission, their style, and their audience on order to represent them accordingly. Who would have thought that all that time you “wasted” on Facebook and Instagram could really pay off?  Well, it literally can.  You could be an expert available for freelance work as a social media manager.  It is helpful to familiarized yourself with social media dashboards like Hoot Suite and Sprout Social.  These offer tools to manage multiple sites, organize content, and schedule posts.
