Small Business Opportunities

| |

By Mike Massey

We read about firms slashing jobs, cutting hours, reducing pay. Unemployment is rising and there are gloomy implications about the future. For under employed and disaffected workers there are alternative employment opportunities.

Many, when they do an assessment of their skills, find they have writing skills that they can market on ELance.com or other sites offering outlets for writers. Also web designers, programmers, xml programmers and graphic designers can reply to bids for various projects.

ELance has been around since 1999. There are all kinds of clients, many who pay thousands of dollars for freelance jobs. You might find a healthy number of projects a day to bid on, write down intelligent bids, lowball, and hope for winning a few to build up a track record.

If you have a degree of skill in the English language, you have a very marketable skill. And with a track record, you will appear more less risky and will attract more clients. Do you have a skill in fictions writing or perhaps poetry or even screenwriting to name just a few higher paying part-time freelance business opportunities.

For those who are a little marketing inclined and not challenged by simple math, there are a multitude of home business opportunity available. Some of these business opportunities offer substantial money rewards.

One of the sure-fire ways might be to help people with their property taxes. Every year homeowners are presented with an opportunity to challenge their property taxes. Few challenge their taxes because they lack the time or expertise.

This presents and excellent small business opportunity

Finding clients who would like to appeal their property taxes is especially easy lately. When engaging in property tax appeals for clients you get paid when you win a property tax reduction for a client. If you can save your client say $2,000, you get paid $2,000 and the client will save that each and every year into the future. You'll be his hero. And winning a case is relatively easy.
