4.    Fancy costume supplier- Mostly we face this problem when we send our children to school. There is a need for fancy costume every now and then for various occasions at school. Stunningly there is very less service provider for such materials. If you are good at stitching, it can earn you a good profit. What you need to do is see a few video tutorials on how to sew a variety of costumes for kids and buy some suitable fabric and start stitching! Make your own kid a model for your first photo shoot. Make them wear those costumes and print some handbills and some A4 size posters and make sure to put it near the schools in your area. Distribute the handouts to the incoming parents and guardians and see how you flourish.

Though this may not give exact monetary return at the initial days yes this may turn to a profitable income after a certain period of time.

Try and choose a topic where you have vast knowledge or strive to learn more about it in the future. In this way, you will feel happy with what you are writing and this will fuel your enthusiasm even if you are not earning from your initial blogs.

7.    Brief daycare center- With most of the nuclear families these days, it is a problem for parents to have their own special moments. As a mother, I also understand that every mother should get to spend some quality time with their partners but that is not possible with a baby around. Hence, promote your business of providing brief day care for children or even toddlers on an hourly basis. This will not even require much of your investment as it will be a matter of 2-4 hours maximum. Prepare a room and make it baby safe. Ask the parents to provide the food required for the child for that time and enough clothes. The added benefit is your tension of taking care of your own child is no more there as you may deal with it along with your paid services.

Hope these ideas will benefit you to understand what business you are comfortable with. Also share your experience, what has worked for you and if you want to add something new to this list. We would be happy to listen to mommies from around the world! Remember self-earning promotes a sense of self-esteem and thus making our life happy.
