7 Best Part Time Businesses Ideas In 2022
Here are the top business ideas that you can start in free time.
- Freelance Writing/Content Marketing
Today’s largest freelance market is content marketing. Content marketing creates engaging content for websites, blogs, emails, and social media. Content marketing knowledge increases marketability.
Many freelancers sell their courses on online course platforms or offer digital products to diversify their income.
Start by studying SEO (search engine optimization) basics. With some SEO understanding, you can boost the search engine rankings of your clients’ articles and blog entries.
Most content marketing is written by non-expert freelancers or staff writers. Writing on a topic doesn’t require industry expertise. Clients and research can inform your writing.
Start freelance writing/content marketing with a basic website showcasing your greatest work. Then I’d email or LinkedIn potential clients.
- Dog Walking Business
Some say I shouldn’t mention dog walking because it’s so simple. Humbug! Simple businesses can be lucrative. Dog walking is an excellent business.
Starting this business is easy. Start with one dog. The business can then grow at your pace. Rover needs regular walks, thus this is a recurrent business. Repeat customers bring dependable income.
Dog walking is intimate. Nobody walks people’s dogs. If customers like you, they’ll stick with you. My niece swiftly developed her dog-walking clientele. She made extra money by boarding dogs overnight.
Even a part-time dog walking business might be sold to gain extra money. As you build your client list, you create a sustainable business.
How does dog walking begin? Start marketing your business plan. Online marketing for dog walking is effective since you may target local dog owners. Low-cost “guerilla marketing” includes handing out fliers at the dog park.
- Start a blog
Blogs have made many rich. The Huffington Post sold for $315 million. And you could be too. You can start a blog for almost nothing.
To make money with a blog, you need many readers. Focus on a monetizable topic. While the Huffington Post is a wide interest site, most people will flourish with a niche blog.
You could blog about a hobby. Or, you can get inspirations from the most profitable online course ideas.
Local blog is another option. Local advertising is profitable. My campus newspaper relied heavily on local advertising, which is now being supplanted by online websites and blogs.
A local entrepreneur on Nantucket created a popular blog by posting high-quality images of islanders. He’s selling more ads. Anywhere on the island, you’ll find an entrepreneur with a camera searching for material.
If you enjoy shooting images or creating content and don’t mind selling ads, you may make a decent second income doing this. Maybe you’ll be the next blog millionaire.
- Home Landscaping
What’s easier than pulling a lawnmower or raking? Well, paying someone else to do it. This company offers both. As you grow, you can outsource the work.
Doing this business on the weekend has benefits beyond keeping your day job. Weekend customers are more likely to be home. So they’re easy to sell and line up on weekends. Also, you get to work outside, which is pleasant.
On weekends, it’s easier to see clients when mowing their lawns. Show your friendliness and you’ll have lifelong customers. You can even suggest new services. New flowers or plants would be lovely.
Marketing this business is easy. I’d have a website, but I’d also hand out flyers and smile. Stop by my place – I need a better landscaper.
- Become a personal trainer
This might be a terrific business for fitness enthusiasts. Personal training can be offered online, via Zoom. You might even offer it in-person in consumers’ homes, at your home, or at a health club.
Instead of broad fitness, focus on a certain sport. I’ve seen soccer coaches charge a lot to train teens and preteens. They coach in the client’s home or a local school’s field.
Another steady-income, repeat-customer business. Customer satisfaction should be simple. First, getting customers. For general fitness training, try “12 weeks to ultimate fitness.”
Try multiple marketing messages, offers, and prices. Digital marketing is easier than you think. You might also put flyers on bulletin boards and network personally.
You may make a good side income with a few regular clients. Maybe you’ll do it full-time.
- Catering or Bartending Service
Bartending sounds easier than catering to me. At 16, I worked as a busboy for eight weeks. 17-year-old me worked as a dishwasher for two weeks.
Both were labor-intensive. If you love cooking, consider catering or becoming a personal chef.
If I could cook beyond a hotdog, I might start a catering business. One of my friend’s sons learnt to cook young and started his own catering business when he was 12 years old, despite attending school regularly.
If he can do it and you can cook more than I can — you could, too.
- Mobile Car Washing and Detailing
I considered operating a car wash (really, I’ve considered numerous companies). Car washes can be profitable, but they need a big investment and aren’t always permitted by the zoning board. They need tonnes of water, which is expensive.
Mobile car washing and detailing has no expenses (other than a little soap, a couple of sponges, and old towels). You can use your client’s water. No upfront costs, strong demand. Yes, please!
Most individuals wash their cars at home on weekends. It’s a terrific weekend business.
I think guerilla marketing is crucial for this type of business. I’d use cheap marketing tricks. I’d focus on creating a regular clientele that desire weekly or biweekly car washes. If you want long-term clients, you can afford to give them a free trial wash to see how great you are.
Remember that your client saves a half-hour by not driving to the car wash.
Conclusion
Now it’s a matter of repeating and modifying this approach. You won’t always have productive weekends – I don’t.
Putting in a few hours every weekend can make all the difference. Over time, your efforts can add up to a full-time ecommerce empire.
