Making paper gift bags to sell
What’s particularly great about possibly approaching shops with your homemade paper gift bags (for them to sell for you) is that there are LOADS of shops you can approach – just about any shop that sells items that could be thought as of gifts, and that are small enough to fit in one of your gift bags should be on your list of shops to approach. Of course one can also sell gift bags at a fleamarket, hire people to sell them for you (where they earn a commission), or start a blog or website where you display the gift bags (photographs of them) and take orders for packs of ten different ones, ten identical ones, whatever, so that people will always have gift bags at hand when they need one! … Read entire article »

Selling salad rolls and other rolls at a fleamarket
Or, a fleamarket is not the only place you can sell salad rolls and other rolls from – sell them to shops, big or small – just open your mouth and ask shops if they’re interested, or ask if you can sell the rolls close to the shop (give them a small cut of your profits, or pay the small fee they might charge you) – or stick a homemade sign on your door or front gate, or put some rolls in a basket and go walking from office block to office block, or leave a menu at work places within walking distances from where you live, and take orders, or charge for delivery if you have to drive to deliver the rolls, and as this would most likely be … Read entire article »

A small operation, making 20 bottles a week, to sell at a flea market on the weekend, would have the following costs. Flea market fee R30 Fuel to Flea market R20 Bottles 0 Cleaning bottles R6 Onions R25 Vinegar R25 Pickling Spice R12 Chilies R5 Labels R2 Total R125 There you are. 20 bottles of pickled onions, at a cost of R125.00 divided by 20, a cost of R6.25 each.

Weaving is fun and easy for both kids and adults
It’s really easy to weave. It’s fun too, especially when you realise the more you weave, the more creative you get and all sorts of weaving ideas start popping into your head. What is weaving? Weaving is when you start with creating or preparing your loom – which could be something as simple and inexpensive as a box with tiny slits cut on two sides of it, and thread strong wool, thick thread or even try string across the box to form the warp. The warp is the area of threads strung across the loom, so that you have a whole lot of threads filling up the entire top area of the open box, running across the open space, from side to side, about 1 or 2 cm apart. Sort of a list … Read entire article »

How can you make money with what you are good at?
Don’t you dare say you can’t or that you’re good at nothing! And also don’t say, well I used to do this or that, but I’ve lost that talent now, or I’m out of practice. Everyone is good at something, and some are lucky enough to be good at a whole bunch of things. Now why not turn what you’re good at into making some extra money for yourself? You may even discover it could turn into a fulltime work at home job. Now the thing is, is to be creative. Don’t just think “Well, I’m good at massaging my spouse’s feet, so what can I do with that? Nothing!” Get out a notebook and pencil, or start typing a page of ideas on your computer. Take just one thing at a time … Read entire article »

Breeding dogs for an extra income from home
If you love dogs, and have a large yard with a high wall or a good fence, and you can take good care of dogs, then why not consider breeding dogs for a bit of an extra income? Once you are sure your city or town, or the area in which you live allows you to keep quite a few dogs on your premises, perhaps consider starting small: you don’t have to have purebred dogs to start out – as long as there are quite a few people you are in contact with, or if you’re happy to do a bit of advertising, because cute puppies sell! It may also be a good idea to start your dog breeding business with small dogs that don’t eat too much! You don’t want the … Read entire article »
