I am hearing a lot about how hard it is nowdays to make a living.
Here are some business ideas that almost anyone can do. Some of them require a computer and Internet connection, but some don't.
1. Cook
If you are talented in the kitchen, then you can be a personal chef. When I was growing up, my mother left the house, and my father hired a personal chef to do the cooking for the family.
The food was good and healthy. That's what I remember.
You can advertise by making a flyer and putting it in the neighborhood that you want to work in. People really do look at the bulletin board at the entrance of their building.
If you need help, I can do one for a small fee for you in Hebrew and English.
2. Teach online. For this, you need a computer, Internet access and a quiet, place to teach.
Here is a site that I work on when I have extra time that I want to work and I don't have anything scheduled: https://www.cambly.com The pay is only $10.20 an hour, but I have made over $2000 over two years.
The students are a mix of people who are just starting learning English and those who already know a bit and need to speak with a Native Speaker. You don't need a Teacher's Credential, but it helps.
In fact, I am on "Priority Hour" right now, I am on call, waiting for a student to call me, so I am writing this post. When a student calls, I go back to the site and teach.
If you need help applying for the job I can help you for a small fee.
3. Affiliate marketing.
This takes a long time to reap benefits, but some people can do it.
You need access to a computer and Internet, or maybe a smart phone would work, go to Clickbank, enter a user name and password, Go to the marketplace, pick a product, and then post it up on Facebook and Twitter. Maybe someone will buy the product and you will get commission.
I do this with Amazon, and I have gotten paid a few times.
4. Cleaning Houses
This business can be very profitable if you have extra time right before Passover. You can put flyers in your neighborhood and offer your help to people who want to get their house clean. This is very strenous work, but you can charge at least 60NIS an hour and you will find people who are willing to pay the price.
So I hope that you can use one of these ideas to start a local business.
