Sarnen Steinbarth, CEO And founder of TurboTenant, an online software for independent landlords and property managers which provides free solutions to common problems such as marketing, accepting applications, and tenant screening joins Enterprise Radio.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Sarnen Steinbarth discuss the following:

  • Could you share with us a little bit about your background and how that led you to the creation of TurboTenant?
  • What were some of the biggest challenges in getting TurboTenant to the place it is today?
  • What would you say makes TurboTenant stand apart in the industry?
  • What advice would you give an entrepreneur who is looking to create their own software startup?
  • What is your vision for the future of TurboTenant?

Sarnen Steinbarth is the founder and CEO of TurboTenant, a fast-growing startup providing landlord solutions to real estate investors, property managers, and independent landlords. As CEO, Steinbarth has raised $1.5 million in growth capital and has grown the business to serve over 400,000 landlords and renters.

Steinbarth started TurboTenant with an extensive background in real estate. From purchasing and managing his own rental properties to starting a property management company to becoming a property education instructor, his comprehensive history in real estate set him on the path to creating TurboTenant. Recognizing the frustration of independent landlords in regards to marketing their properties, accepting applications, and screening tenants, the idea for TurboTenant was born.

Founded in October 2015, the goal of Steinbarth’s startup is to provide independent landlords with the tools they need without cutting into their profit margins. Steinbarth saw a missing niche in property management software and created easy-to-use, free landlord software that is more accessible for the average landlord than previous big-dollar solutions were.

7 Important, but Uncomfortable Truths about Life and Love - Entrepreneur Podcast Network – EPN

$
0
0

There are many uncomfortable truths about life and live that we could talk about, but we will limit it to 7 here, as that is probably all any person could be expected to handle in one sitting. Life is not perfect, things don’t always go our way, and sometimes our heart gets broken. Life owes you nothing, you actually have to work for your accomplishments. The people we like are not necessarily going to like us back, and we don’t always live happily ever after.

  1. Things will not always go your way in life, no matter how you hard you work.

The truth is that no matter how hard we work, no matter how many extra hours or effort we out in, things will not always go our way. We may have worked long and hard assuming that things will somehow work out is we just keep going. This is not always the case, in fact this is often not the case. Some of the most successful people in this world were epic failures the 1st or 23rd time around. The difference was that they kept picking themselves up and trying new things, until they finally achieved what they were trying for.  Imagine if Michael Jordan or Steve Jobs had just given up the first time they stumbled? Imagine a life without Einstein or Franklin. We have many of the necessities, memories, and luxuries because of these people who did not stop when things did not go their way.

  1. Sometimes the person you like/love does not feel the same way about you, and your heart will be broken.

As is actually the case more often than not, the person that we like/love does not feel the same about us, or vice versa. Until we meet “the one,” dating will be a series of relationships where one person likes the other person more than the other, and the other person ends up hurt and heartbroken. Sometimes you are on the giving end, and sometimes you are on the receiving end. It never feels good, but it is the process we all have to go through in our search for the right fit.

  1. Despite what we believe, life owes us nothing, we have to work for the things that we want, and even those are not guaranteed. 

Were you bestowed with the idea that life owes you something? That there are things that you are guaranteed just for being you? Well, sorry to break it to you, but life owes us nothing. There are no promises, and there is no roadmap for riches and success. The best we can do, is the best we can do, and hope that this is enough. If we have a good work ethic, a kind heart, and the right intentions, things just might go our way. In the end, that is all we have control over, and the best that we can do.

  1. No matter how much we love each other in the beginning, we do not always end up with happily ever after. 

I like to believe that most couples who get married, or promise to be together for life, mean it when they say it. Whether it be to each other, or in front of 500 of their closest friends. Even the best couples, the couples that everyone thinks will be together forever, can have a series of unfortunate events that strip away at the fabric of their relationship. After years of adversity, animosity, and trying to repair what is now broken, the couple decides they cannot continue on. This has nothing to do with intentions, it is not one parties fault, but sadly, it is the reality of 50% of couples.

  1. You are responsible for you and you alone. You cannot change anyone else, you can only change how you let them impact you. 

Many people go through life believing they are going to fix or change others. The fact of the matter is that you have to deal with the reality that in almost all cases, you are getting what you are taking. Be realistic about what you are getting yourself into, or about the people in your life. The relationships that you hold out hope can change, the lifelong habits that you are sure someone is suddenly going to stop, are not going to happen. The only person in this life we are responsible for, or have any control over is ourselves. So decide how you are going to let people and things impact you, and close the chapter on the belief that you can control anything else. I promise you will have more peace and calm if you can accept this one fact.

  1. Most people are making it up as they go along. Not many people are as together and perfect as they appear. 

Most of us are just trying to do the best we can. We get up, shower, try to make ourselves presentable, and go to work and try to make it through the day without any major catastrophes. While some people may be able to put off a vibe of self-confidence and put togetherness, they are likely just playing the part too….they have just perfected it. Do you know all those social media pictures of perfect people, with their perfect relationship, and their perfect family? FAKE! This is the presentation that they want you to see of them. Most people only post the best moments of their lives, and not the day to day realities. Their lives are just like ours, they just don’t show us that part. Take solace in this, they are just as imperfect as you!

  1. Bad things happen to good people for no reason. 

As sad as this lesson is, it is unfortunately true. Bad things happen to good people, and there is no reasonable explanation for it. Little kids get ill, couples who are desperate for children try for years to no avail, and we lose someone we love far too soon. It is uncomfortable to talk about, and it is a fact of life that no one wants to admit, as they are afraid that they will be impacted by it. The reality is that at some point in their life, they will be touched by someone in their life being dealt a raw deal, no matter how good a person they were. Because of this sad and uncomfortable truth, I cannot think of a better reason to appreciate those in our lives each day that we have together, good or bad, because at least we have the satisfaction of knowing we loved and appreciated them.

Promoting Solid Communication Is Essential to Any Successful Team Project: Consider Arranging a Workshop to Bring Everyone up to Speed - Entrepreneur Podcast Network – EPN

$

Any successful team project depends on solid communication between the team members. If you’re not communicating with your coworkers efficiently (or if you aren’t communicating at all), it’s next to impossible to know whether everyone is progressing according to plan.

In a typical business scenario, taking the next step in the process requires everyone to have finished their current tasks. If one or more team members are lagging behind, moving on becomes impossible and, worse yet, may bring the entire project to its knees if deadlines are not met in time.

Even though you might fully realize this as the business owner, motivating your coworkers can be an entirely different story.

Communication is more than just task monitoring

Task monitoring is something anyone can do. While it’s important for making sure that your business is running smoothly, it doesn’t really contribute anything to the team communication either, except for viewing the project status.

In fact, the first step you should make is to install some sort of a monitoring system, if you haven’t already. Sometimes a simple Google document is all you need. But the true secret of great project management lies in having an open discussion with your coworkers. In other words: you should encourage them to discuss any issues they may be facing directly with you.

Planning for the unforeseen

Regular communication between you and your team members ensures that you’ll be able to plan for the unforeseen. If they’re stuck on a particular issue, not only will you be alerted of it immediately, but there’s also a chance you will be able to help them overcome it. In other words, this is a win-win arrangement.

The coworkers should function as a team and help each other

Even though it consists of individual members, often highly specialized in a particular field, the team needs to function as a whole. In certain cases, the work progress of one team member may depend on the work progress of another.

Responsible team members realize this without really stating it, so it’s important for your organization to establish some sort of a communications system that allows a team member to alert another in case some delays are imminent. And, in certain cases, they may be able to solve the problem together without you intervening!

Requirements workshops are the next step towards better team collaboration

There is a way to improve the collaboration in your team, and it’s through facilitating a requirements workshop. The requirements workshop techniques that you’ll learn will allow your team members to recognize their role in the process, understand their tasks, and recognize how they can successfully solve the issues they encounter while achieving a greater productivity.

Conclusion

Team communication is both a science and an art, but if you take the time to understand its importance and learn how you can make it even better in the future, you’ll quickly be able to increase the productivity as well as the satisfaction levels of your entire team.

5 Tips for Making Your First Investment in Real Estate - Entrepreneur Podcast Network – EPN

We know that one of your biggest dreams is to buy your own home, not only because it will give you stability to plan your future with greater security, but because it is an investment.

For your first investment in real estate, you should know that both new and used properties have different advantages and that you must choose between these options according to your needs.

Are you a newbie to investing in property?

Do not worry, with the following tips you can invest in a strategic way and acquire the home of your dreams.

Purchasing a blueprint project

Buying property in a blueprint project is very profitable because with the advance of construction the property will be valued, and its price will increase. That means that when the project is finished, and you decide to move in, the value of the property will have typically increased, and if one day you want to sell it, you will obtain an excellent profit. Fortunately, there are plenty of new housing projects being developed in which you can invest right now with the help of a mortgage and good financial planning.

Choose according to your priorities

Do you want to live near your work? Do you have children? Are you looking for tranquility far from the city? Do you want to buy a home and then rent it? Before investing you should ask yourself these questions to be clear about the type of housing you want, its location, and its price. Think for a moment about the needs of a newly graduated single person, and those of a family with children and pets; they’re very different, right? That is why it is essential that to avoid losing valuable time in your search, you must have a clear profile of the type of property you want to buy.

Respect your budget

Before starting the search for your home, you must be very clear about the budget available. If you are going to access a loan, you can use a mortgage calculator. This will help you organise your finances because it calculates the monthly payment that you would have to pay, and the maximum amount you can finance.

Also, if this is your first time buying a home, remember that you must keep a reserve of money to buy furniture and appliances; and in case you buy a used home you may need to make repairs or there might be remodelling that you should contemplate.

Explore financing options

The choice of both new and used homes, payment facilities and financing options, are many. With the help of an experienced Mortgage Broker you will not only receive loan options but also support to find the best property.

Invest for your future

If you have saved money and want to make a smart investment, real estate is a good option. Even if you need a mortgage, it is still a good investment because you can pay the monthly mortgage payments with the money that you would use to pay rent.

Do not think twice; investment in housing is a sound financial decision due to its high demand, so if you are financially able, it might be the opportunity you were hoping for to improve your finances and your quality of life.

Questions to Answer with Your Food Truck Business Plan - Entrepreneur Podcast Network – EPN

Before you start your food truck business, it’s important to come up with a good business plan. Failing to have a business plan can set you up for failure. The goal of your business plan is to plan for success. How do you make sure you have a good business plan? Coming up with a business plan may seem a bit overwhelming, but it’s an important part of planning a growing, thriving business. To get the most from your business plan, make sure your food truck business plan answers the following important questions.

Question #1 – What Sets Your Apart from the Competition?

This is often referred to as the “competitive advantage.” What is going to make you stand out from the competition. What trade secrets, trademarks, intellectual property, etc. is going to ensure your food truck has a boost over your competitors.

Question #2 – Are Customers Willing to Pay for Your Food?

Do you have a way to make sure you’ll have enough paying customers to pay your bills, stay in business, and start making money? You need to make sure you have the capital to take care of yourself while you’re busy working to get your food truck business off the ground. Remember, it can take a bit of time before your food truck begins bringing in a profit.

Question #3 – How Will Your Market Your Food Truck?

Marketing is an important part of making your food truck business successful. How are you going to market your food truck? It’s not enough to have great food. People actually need to know about your food truck. Do you plan to use tradition means of advertising? Will you harness the power of social media to market your new food truck business? Will you bring traditional and internet marketing methods together?

Question #4 – How Do You Plan to Finance Your Food Truck Business?

Financing your new venture is important. If you’re trying to get people to invest in your business, they’ll want to see your business plan. In many cases, it looks great on your business plan if you can put out some of the money to get started yourself. Investors like to see that you’re willing to invest in your own business. Explore your financing options within your business plan and decide what financing routes you plan to take. It’s also a good idea to describe financial projections for the business, including the amount of money that you will need to get the food truck business started.

Question #5 – How Will You Staff Your Food Truck?

Staffing the financial, sales, and production parts of your new food truck business is important, and even if you end up taking on all the roles yourself in the beginning, you need to show a realization that eventually you probably won’t be able to do everything on your own. Come up with a plan that shows that you recognize your limitations and how you plan to deal with staffing when it’s time to add to your staff.

Remember, your food truck business plan is about laying out a good plan for growth and it’s also to help enlighten and reassure the readers if you’re taking your plan to investors. Remember, you don’t have to have a fancy, long business plan and you can even start by buying a used food truck for sale, but you do need a good plan that answers the right questions so you can start your business planning for success.

When Doubling Down Can Be a Successful Business Move - Entrepreneur Podcast Network – EPN

$

There are many different ways of achieving success in the business world. For example, plenty of company leaders are drawn towards the compelling nature of classic strategies that have stood the test of time. Yet, at other times it pays to be innovative, using ideas and methods that are inspired by other aspects of life. This can mean trying out that things that have been proven to work in other areas.

A good example of this comes with the “doubling down” strategy. While it is most associated with playing cards, this can also be a useful technique for business dealing as well. Indeed, many people have used the phrase in a business context.

What is Doubling Down?

If you look online for a definition of this phrase you will see a variety of results mentioning things such as becoming more tenacious, increasing the stake, and making greater efforts to get results. Not everyone who uses this expression captures its true meaning, so it may help to get back and look at its origins. “Doubling down” come from a certain type of bet that can be carried out in blackjack. In this case, the player chooses to double their initial bet but will only receive one more card after doing so. This means that they are happy with the strength of the hand that they hold or feel that there is a high probability of getting dealt the perfect card. There is a lot of fairly complex strategy behind this seemingly simple move. Doubling down can typically be done on any two-card hand, although some game rule variations only allow it on specific hands.

Overall, the best way to describe this move’s business version is that it refers to taking a calculated gamble by increasing the stake on something that has already begun and that shows promise, although there is no guarantee of success. You could make a 50,000% return like Julian Assange claims to have done with bitcoin. or you could lose more than you originally stood to lose. Bearing this in mind, it is clear that the term is often used incorrectly in business matters these days. However, there also some great examples of genuine uses of doubling down that make perfect sense and show the power of this strategy when someone is sure about their product offering.

Interestingly, you might also see “doubling down” or “a double down” also referred to in the case of pushing the main element of one model in order to get the benefits there and in another model. The move to create a People’s Choice Award at the Toronto International Film is given as an example of this type of strategy, but it isn’t really related to the original blackjack meaning.

Successful Examples of Doubling Down in Business

A good example can be found if we go back to the period after the initial public offering of Facebook in 2012. The share price was struggling and the heat was on CEO Mark Zuckerberg. However, he came out in an interview and used gambling terminology to increase confidence in the company’s stock. He did this by saying that the fact that relative newcomer Facebook was being underestimated in the stock market allowed them to “go out and make some big bets”. Zuckerberg added that it was the perfect time to “double down” on the company. This gave the impression that investing in Facebook was a gamble offering big rewards; a suggestion that proved to be correct.

Facebook shares fell from their original $38 to a low of $17.55. Anyone bold enough to have doubled down at that point would have made a huge profit, as they are now worth over $178. Another classic example came when Microsoft project manager Peter Orullian said that they would be doubling down on PC games, as Kotaku reported back in 2010. Given the success of PC gaming since he said that in 2010 it is clear that it was a pretty good bet. There are now 1.8 billion gamers in the world and it seems that Microsoft felt they were in a strong position to exploit a growing market.

When Doubling Down Can Go Wrong

Sometimes the use of this phrase can lead to less impressive results. This is particularly true when the gamble fails and the loss is higher than it would have been. Apple CEO Tim Cook has been known to use the doubling down expression regularly. Most famously, he said that they were going to “double down on secrecy”. While this wasn’t strictly speaking a gamble, he was later ridiculed for this expression when details of the latest iPhone were widely leaked online.

This phrase also came back to haunt HP senior vice president Brian Humphries. He proclaimed that his company was going to be “doubling down on webOS” after buying Palm. Yet, the results proved less than exciting when the products were disappointing and the webOS hardware division came to a sudden end.

How to Double Down Effectively

It probably isn’t right for someone who is just starting a new business, just as newcomers to blackjack tend to be wary about this type of bet. Just like experienced blackjack players, business leaders can learn when it is best to double down. A card player will do this by having a strategy in place and knowing when the time is right to take a calculated risk.

In the business world, the idea is pretty much the same. Doubling down effectively isn’t about blindly gambling. It is about wisely choosing the moment to raise the stakes, knowing that a potentially larger reward is a definite possibility. To do this well you need to understand your business, your cash flows, and your expectation levels. Above all, you need to know exactly what the gamble involves and what the risks are.

More than a game: Football is big business - Entrepreneur Podcast Network – EPN

There are few sports that have the global reach and appeal of football. The recent World Cup qualifiers showed that it has infiltrated the consciousness of nations across the globe, and you can travel to the most far flung corners and still find shops selling Manchester United and Real Madrid merchandise.

While it is great from a cultural perspective to have a sport that can bring people together from any background, there are also some significant financial implications to football’s appeal. The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) generated revenue of around €4.5 billion in the year 2015/16. Here are some other indicators that show that the football industry is a better money spinner than it has ever been.

Football betting through the roof

The smartphone era has changed the face of sports betting. Once the province of those who understood the mysterious ways of the high street betting shop, punters can now log on to a huge range of sites to place bets on any game at any time from any location. The latter point is particularly important. A look at casinoonline.com.de, for example, shows the variety of sites available in Germany, but this is just the beginning. Gamblers are increasingly appearing from far afield as North America and the Indian Subcontinent to place bets on European matches.

Premiership players earning more than ever

Many thought that the footballers earning telephone number salaries would be a bubble that had to burst, but year on year, the salaries keep getting higher. The biggest hike was at the end of the 2013 season, when they went up by nine percent, but subsequent years have seen rises that have been almost as impressive. At the top of the tree, Manchester United’s Paul Pogba earns £280,000 a week – but it is still less than the £300,000 salary that Wayne Rooney negotiated two years ago.

TV deals are increasing in value

One of the main reasons the clubs can afford to keep paying their players more is that they are generating increasing revenue from lucrative television deals. The presence of more broadcasters has not served to cheapen football, it has only made the bidding more ferocious. In 2015, Sky and BT Sport got into open warfare to secure the best games. The result? An incredible £5.1 billion spent on screening rights. The even better news is that this money filters through to grass roots levels, ensuring the sport’s future sustainability.

Promotion to the Premiership is worth millions

When Bournemouth were at last promoted to the top flight back in 2015, even die-hard fans felt it might be a flash in the pan and they would be straight back down. The fact that they have confounded the doubters is worth around £120 million for every year they stay up. This is comprised of TV revenues, additional commercial income and a lucrative sponsorship deal with – you guessed it – a well known online sports betting and casino site. Now you can see why relegation can hurt the wallet as much as the heart.

5 Tips to Improve Your Email Marketing Performance - Entrepreneur Podcast Network – EPN

In spite of the meteoric rise of social media marketing, email marketing continues to enjoy a higher rate of conversion, especially when it comes to business-to-business marketing. While social media is great for exposure, businesses evidently prefer emails a lot more. Of course, one must get the strategy, content, and approach right for their emails to convert more, so here are five tips that should help with just that.

Work on Your Subject Line

Both personal and business IDs receive tons of emails every day and a good many of them remain unopened forever. You might have written great copy or it may even contain some deals that are perfect for the target reader, but the emails will never even be opened and all that effort will go to waste if the subject line doesn’t catch the attention of your target audience. Work on the subject line of your emails and test them out through online rating websites to see if they can be effective.

Verify Your Target Email Addresses

You may have obtained a good contact database, but do you know how many of those email addresses are still active? If you knew which ones have been deactivated, discontinued, changed or were wrong/false, to begin with, things would be so much faster, easier and more productive. This is why you should always use theemailfinder.co to verify your contact emails in bulk to save time and increase conversion rates.

Using Images Wisely

Images should be a part of every email campaign, but they need to be the right ones. Also, the trick is in balancing images with texts in such a way that one complements the other. To maintain the quality of your emails, make sure the images are relevant to the subject matter of your content and avoid generic pictures.

Making Sure they are Compatible

You need to make sure that the design and structure of the email are compatible with popular smartphone apps, browsers, and operating systems. If the client opens your email from an iPad or an Android smartphone instead of a Windows laptop, the last thing you would want is for the email to appear weird, with text and images all over the place.

Grow Your Email List

On average, you are going to lose about 22.5% of your email contacts every year and the only way to counter this is by keeping your email list growing. The following are some proven ways to keep your list replenished and growing.

  • On-site subscription for visitors (hopefully with a reward/benefit/offer)
  • Promotion of free content (eBooks, partner offers, etc.) on social media that require signing up with an email ID
  • Content marketing with embedded links for email subscription

While getting your target audience to open their emails and click on the links is the real work, that’s not the end of it. You need a landing page with a call-to-action button on it to convert all that effort into a sale. The good news is that studies show if you can get people to follow links from their email inbox, there’s a good chance you have an interested potential customer, who will convert sooner or later in most cases.

Why a Projector Is Preferable to a Television - Entrepreneur Podcast Network – EPN

Let’s face it, when it comes to entertainment few options match the popularity of the good old television. Alongside the honourable couch and the ever-essential lazy boy, there’s nothing quite like ending a hard day’s work by surfing a few channels and finding something interesting to kick back and relax to. However, this isn’t the only way to enjoy all sorts of different shows at home. While some might feel safe and comfortable with their television, others are starting to reap the benefits of purchasing a projector instead.

Why choose a projector over a television?

You might argue that a television – especially in this day and age, is fully equipped for entertainment. You have flat screens, you have HD quality, you have pretty much everything you need. However, those that own a projector at home can tell you that owning one can change the way you view entertainment. If you compare a projector to a television of the same era, you’ll find that a projector will trump it every single time. This means that for all the great things that a television has these days, a projector will match it and then some.

Where you place your projector matters so much more!

Compared to where you might be able to place a regular old television, where you place your projector can change so much the viewing experience. After all, you can make the projector play on just about any and every surface you want in your home. Do you want it to project on your ceiling because you just want to experience a movie while laying down? You most definitely can. Aside from its impeccable quality, you’ll be able to watch it from different angles depending on the surface.

More than worth the price

While a projector may end up costing more than a television, you most certainly get what you pay for. It’s worth every penny and there’s a certain novelty to owning a projector that just doesn’t seem to fade with time. It makes experiencing different movies that much more interesting. While it would certainly be understandable to go for the more affordable route if you don’t have the resources, why settle for second best if you don’t have to?

There are only a few things you need after your purchase a projector. A quality projector mount (it makes all the difference), and a bunch of tasty snacks. Perhaps you might want to invite a few friends over! After all, nothing says entertainment like watching your favourite film with a projector. This is why when it comes to preference, the only reason people tend to go for televisions is because of the cost. If you don’t happen to be hampered by a tight budget, a projector will help elevate your entertainment experience to the next level!

Four Inventive Ways To Start Making Money From Home - Entrepreneur Podcast Network – EPN

Making money from home is something that many people are interested in today. It allows them to earn the same wages (possibly more) while saving on expenses they would incur if they worked outside the home. These expenses include:

  • Childcare
  • Eating out
  • Gas for the car or public transportation
  • Clothing just for work

These expenses can add up quickly. If you look at what an individual makes for their job, and how much they sink in to these expenses, it sometimes costs them more to work outside of the home. Instead of trying to fit into a mold that doesn’t benefit their life, there are several opportunities that could put their time to better use, while making the most money. Here are a few fields individuals should consider going into for the best return on their time.

Teaching English

Teaching the English language has become a popular way to make money. Some individuals will need a degree. Those that have highly advanced degrees may do better, especially if they can cater to adults who want to learn English for work purposes. ESL has also expanded to children who have parents that want them to master it. The schools that look for ESL teachers often want individuals who are natives to a country that speaks English, such as Canada or the United States. There are many different ways to offer ESL services. From working for a school that focuses on ESL online to listing yourself on a platform and finding students who are interested in studying with you, there is no shortage of ways to fin work in their field.

Blogging For Money

Blogging is sometimes seen as an elusive way to make money. You can earn a great deal, but it is usually slow to start. You will need to invest a little bit of time and money in what you are trying to blog about, but the payouts can be worth the time it takes. In order to begin, you will need a hosting plan that allows you to host your content. After you have created some content, you can launch your blog, and search for various ways to monetize it. From running ads to using affiliate links to sell products that you personally enjoy, you will be able to make money when folks click on your ads, or purchase products through the link that you provided. The best part about blogging is that you can write about anything you choose. As long as there is a product or service attached to it, the potential for making money is there.

Doing Crafts At Home

Creating your own products at home can be great way for anyone to earn money, all while doing something they love. From t-shirts to dog beds and wallets, if you can craft it, there is likely a market for it. You can sell your finished products on places such as Etsy. The listing fees for Etsy are very low cost, and the platform is a common place for individuals to gather when they are looking to purchase items that are unique or handmade. There is some cost associated with this, since you need to buy the materials you need to start selling. Once you do so and have product ready to go, you can begin marketing it however you choose, including social media platforms. If the idea of assembling products at home appeals to you, but you don’t want to fall for a scam, consider making items at home.

Daycare or Babysitting For Busy Parents

If you enjoy working with children and want to offer your services to parents, consider offering daycare in your home. You can choose to be licensed or not. It’s important to consider the rules of your state and abide by them before you start up a daycare business. Since parents often have a difficult time finding someone to watch their children while they work, consider offering daycare either during the week in the mornings to late afternoon, or provide weekend options for parents. Make sure you specific what ages you want to work with and child-proof your home before you start listing yourself as having openings.

No matter how you want to earn money, there are many ways this can be done. From offering childcare services to blogging for a living, or even teaching English to individuals overseas, you are sure to find a niche that works best for you and your lifestyle.
