Ariel Photographs Of Exclusive Residents and Land Property

Over ninety percent of property owners never get to view their property from the air and it would be inviting for them to see their farms and bungalows from the new vantage point. If you have a good camera and a friend who can team up with you to fly you, you can start a business taking photographs from the air. If you have a good video camera, you can take the pictures live. Once that is done you can approach those property owners and sell the photographs or CDs to them. They would not reject your offer and since there are many exclusive property around you will make a handsome profit.

Another way to do the business is make an arrangement with the property owners to give you a contract to take Arial photographs of their property. Ask them how they want it to be done. That way you can guarantee a sale and at a special price.

Since not many people are doing this kind of business, you can start one of your own.

Workshops for Vehicle Breakdowns

You might have noticed a towing truck plying up and down a highway. The truck is actually scouting around for vehicles that are stranded due to engine breakdowns.

In the event there is a vehicle breakdown, the truck will render service to tow the vehicle to the nearest workshop for repairs. Usually the tow truck belongs to the nearby workshop and thus will tow the vehicle to the very workshop. It is a good business as workshops will charge extra for the towing service and emergency repairs. Some unethical workshops may even charge double the normal price of repairs, taking advantage of the unfortunate driver. I recommend you do otherwise and only charge the normal fee with additional charges for towing.

You can set up a workshop, buy a tow truck and engage a driver to ply the highway close to your workshop. If you do the business right and fair, you will not only create an income for yourself but also do a valuable service to drivers who are unfortunately stranded on the highway due to engine breakdowns. If you are fair in your dealings, people do not mind paying a little extra for the timely help. Charge reasonably and people will take note of your workshop and come back for repairs and you would have created yourself a steady income. Word of mouth will work in your favour.

Teaching a Second Language

If you are proficient in a couple of languages, you can start a business teaching a second language. Many people would want to learn a second language for many reasons. Students want to learn in preparation for exams while people contemplating to go abroad will want to have a good knowledge of the language and want to be able to converse in the language.

There is a good demand by students and adults alike, to learn English and be proficient in the language. If you are proficient in English, you can start a home business to give tuition in the language. Do not give a shot in the dark but get a good course as your guide to systematic teaching and your students will love that. They will catch on with the language fast and your reputation will soar.

Advertise locally by inserting flyers in newspapers. You can also insert a small column in the local newspapers letting people know about your service. There are always demands for such a service.

Charge a reasonable fee either by the hour or as a one-time payment for a complete course. If you can render a good service, you are guaranteed of an ongoing business that will snowball into something big.
