There are plenty of websites that let you sell your photos. If you’re a budding photographer, all you’ve to do is—get your portfolio in place. If you’re a professional, we’re sure you already have a kickass portfolio ready. It’s time to show-off the best of your clicks and earn a few bucks!

If you already have a furry friend at home, you might already be an expert at making them obey your commands. That’s pretty much all you need to do! Apart from helping you earn more, it’s a great stress-buster as well!

With so many restaurants and cafes going online, tying up with them and assisting them in delivery can be a great business option. With an increased number of people wanting to order food online, and more restaurants offering the option to order online, the need for delivery executives is rising too. Tapping into this market could turn out to be a great plan. All you have to look for is a couple of delivery executives, some second-hand bikes, and you’re done!

There are so many people/companies looking for experts to hunt some useful information for them. You could be it! If you think you can make a good researcher, go ahead and try your skills by taking up a small project. By the end of the project, you’ll know where you stand. It’s all about digging deep, making fantastic reports and earning money.

With western concepts gradually picking up pace in India, a lot of new concepts have recently become popular. Baby proofing is one of them. We obviously had ways of making our houses safer for newborns before, but it was never a full-fledged business. Now that it is, you need to market right and target new parents looking for ways to ensure their new born is safe in and around the house. Baby proofing the house is an important part of that.

Do antique items awaken the art collector in you? Great! Now’s the time to make money out of it. Vintage items sell like hot cakes. All you need to do is hunt these collectibles down, identify the right market and market well. Confused about where to find these? Don’t worry! Just start by digging deep in the old, local markets of your city. That’s where all the treasure is hidden. You might have to work a bit hard, run through dusty streets and interact with locals. Be prepared for that. You could also try getting in touch with interior designers and see if a collaboration works.

With people becoming lazier by the day, the number of possible business options is growing as well. One of these is assisting people in their apartment hunt. You could get to know their exact requirements and search for apartments accordingly. While you help them look for their dream house, they make your dreams of running a successful business come true.

Do you often find yourself scribbling and trying your hand at calligraphy? It’s time to do it professionally! An aesthetic handwriting and some basics of calligraphy are all you need to run this business successfully. You could design wedding invitations, save the dates, greeting cards and what not! We all love reading elegantly designed pieces of art. So, what are you waiting for? Start now!

Image management is all about grooming and managing different aspects of someone’s image. These include mannerisms, body language, clothing etc. You advise people on how to present themselves more elegantly and get to build a business out of it.

This might require a fair amount of patience. But since we’re building a business, we need to give it our best shot. If you have knowledge, why not pass it on? The best part about teaching (apart from the joy of getting to spread knowledge) is that you’re getting paid for it! Be it math, science, history or even music, you just need to have command over a subject. You can choose flexible timings and even teach from home. What could be better than that!

Do you think you can write engaging blog content? Well, in that case, you could explore a ton of opportunities with brands and in collaboration with other bloggers. You could curate content for the brands of your choice and earn a reputation and some good business in return. Whoever said ‘a pen is mightier than a sword’, said it right!

Love creating artsy things? It’s time to brush up your HTML and CSS skills and start creating awesome websites! If you’re already a pro at these languages, great! This might be a little time-consuming, but the end results will be great. For you and your design portfolio as well.

The demand for translators is quite high. As a result, the chances of minting more money are quite high. If you start looking around, you’ll most definitely find a couple of projects just at the snap of a finger. You could either be asked to translate written matter or audio files. If you know the languages well, it shouldn’t be a big deal for you.

If you have a knack at managing all or almost all the household chores, that’s it! You’ll be in demand. All you need to do is brush up on your mechanical skills and get your tools in place. Oh! We almost forgot the most important thing you need to do. You need to thank all those people who are so busy being lazy/busy that they refuse to handle these things on their own.

If creating elegant and useful pieces of furniture is something you’re good at, why not make a business out of it? You need to keep a lookout for the latest trends in furniture and explore more ways of cutting down expenditures on wood and other raw materials. Once you’re done with this, most of your work is done. The rest, depends on how well you use your marketing skills to sell your artsy furniture off.

Everyone wants a better job. One that pays well and looks good on their resume. What they don’t want is—wasting time making that resume. They either don’t have the time or they lack enough patience. That’s where you come in. After analysing the requirements of the candidate, you can design an apt resume for their job profile.

These are just some of the business ideas that can help you make money in your spare time. Most of these don’t involve much time and effort. You might find it a bit difficult to manage in the start, but as time passes by, you’ll be a pro at it. In case you get flooded by work, you can always regulate the number of clients you’re working for. Focusing on lesser number of projects (at least at the start) can lift some burden off your shoulders. Let’s not forget that you have your ‘real’ job to focus on as well.

If you are ambitious and want to do more than just that usual 9 to 5 job, pick one of these and try your luck. You need to remember one thing before taking the leap of faith and jumping into the world of business. No matter how good you are, there are chances that you might fail at the first few attempts. Don’t let failure stop you from doing something you really want to. Instead, analyse your weaknesses and work on them. Who knows! If your spare time business does well, you could think of focusing on it full-time!
