87. Make $1,000+ per month – Do service-at-home jobs
This is a brilliant way of making money. As you know, most Americans are laid-back when it comes to doing work at home. If you provide for them a service at home, they don't need to travel anymore or do the job themselves. You can also compete with businesses that charge more than you while you have the added service of coming to their home and you are your own boss.
Create a website with services-at-home that you provide and tell your family and friends, they can count on you. You can also find new customers by placing ads on Craigslist.com, or by contacting your facebook friends. You show them your webpage of services you offer at-home.
Offer to do those jobs on an hourly basis, like $20-$50 per hour, or on a monthly basis (like babysitting for $500 per month). This cost includes or excludes travel costs.
Here is a listing of possible jobs, services at-home you could offer:
1. Hand-wash cars
2. Do yard work (from just cutting grass to trimming shrubs, to trimming trees then finally finish about with outright landscaping)
3. Wash windows (of house/apartment)
4. House/apartment cleaning
5. Plant maintenance
6. Teach children, help them with their education
7. Teach them to play an instrument (music lessons)
8. Do someones grocery shopping
9. Take care of laundry
10. Iron other people's clothes
11. Cooking, doing the dishes
12. Become personal chef: you do the grocery shopping, fix the meal, and do kitchen clean-up
13. Become a green consultant (offer them ways for them to save on energy use)
14. Clean up computers (like install/upgrade software, install new computer, make backups, teach them how to use a computer, install a wireless network)
15. Keep people's tech up-to-date (like Changing VHS videos to DVDs, scanning old photos, moving CDs to MP3s, or other format changes can make you some additional income)
16. Take care of their house while they are on vacation
18. Dog walking/pet sitting
19. Babysitting

Outsourcing Routine Tasks:
ROI: 200%, varies based on your hourly income and what you pay your helpers.
Outsourcing your life - If you are self employed or paid hourly, and you make significantly more than minimum wage, then consider hiring teenagers or other people willing to work for minimum wage to do the routine tasks of your life, such as mowing the lawn, grocery shopping, and going to the dry cleaners. If you can work more hours at $30 an hour and hire someone to do routine chores for you at $10, then that is a 200% return on your money.
How to market your service?
