Question

What are some self employed jobs that really work?

Answer 1

I haven't looked into any of those things the previous answer referenced but generally I doubt those things would make a reasonable career choice, although they may be in some cases.  

The truth is that one can make a living in ANY field or business.  There are people who've made millions on absolutely everything you can think of.  This IS America and regardless of what anyone tells you, you CAN do anything you want, or at least anything you are or can become very good at.  People have made good livings and even fortunes off of everything from bar soap to furniture to technology to consulting and the list goes on and on and on.  Find something you love or at least something you like and FIND a way to make a living.  When looking for ideas many people only look towards consumer targeted businesses but there is AT LEAST as many opportunities selling products or services to businesses.  I own a retail store and I'm amazed at all the opportunities there are to sell things that I could use in business that general consumers have no need for.  Everything from office supplies to help finding employees to organizing, design, consulting, courier svc or industry specific products or services.  Think very hard and you will come up with something.  One last bit of advice,  do NOT attempt to be the "cheapest" at whatever it is that you do.  People will value your services or products accordingly and besides, the big companies can always beat you on price but they can almost never beat you on service and attention to detail among other things.  Selling too cheap doesn't make you any money either.  Remember, sales do not equal profits.  A good balance of price/volume produces the best results.  Email me if you've got any questions or ideas.  I'm no millionaire (yet) but I've got a good head for this sort of thing and I'd be interested to see what you come up with.  Good Luck!

Answer 2

That depends on you.  How hard are you willing to work?  I know several companies that offer opportunities that get a bad rap because most people don't work.  Not because they are good or bad.

If you put forth the effort and work a system, you will succeed.  Success may taken anywhere from 3 months to 10 years, but as long as you keep at it, it will happen.
