Last week Snowbank and I were discussing some business ideas on my couch and talking about how people keep saying that they can't find any jobs and can't make money.
So just for fun we went to craigslist and looked at a bunch of ads. Here is what we came up with:
A couple people looking for dog walkers, $10/walk, 3x a week, 1/2 hr. Probably a solid $90 a week if you can land 3 jobs.
A guy who said he'll do anything for $10/hr. Use him for next job.
Lady looking for help to move a curio cabinet, will pay $150, need own truck. We go rent a truck at home depot for $19.95/hr, get some blankets, hire an extra guy for $10/yr. Pocket $100 for 2-3 hours of work.
There were a bunch of house and yard cleaning wanted ads. Help moving ads also seemed to be popular. All seemed to be around $10-15/hr.
The point is that we probably could have made decent money for a days worth of work if we tried to get these jobs.
In fact, after I thought about it I bet that I could start a decent dog walking service in my neighborhood after thinking about it. People hate making leaving their dogs couped up inside all day and would probably gladly pay $10 to know that their pet is happy and getting exercise.
I mean $10/half hour walk. 8 dogs a day, $80 a day for 4 hours of work a day. Not bad right? It would be even better if I could walk 2-3 together if they got along. Not thinking fastlane here, but one would actually walk the dogs myself. Part time job making $20,000/yr and you get your exercise!!!
