I've been trying to start a college paying business since I only have work as needed. Anybody here run (or have ran) a side business? If so what type and how "efficient" has it been/ was it? I've been trying to repair a vending machine I bought for $20 and I'm thinking of starting either a repair or vending (or both) business. Very crowded and hard to get a spot but still worth a try,
I've failed with other ventures such as building computers. Profits came out to about 1000 bucks over a year, not many people want to pay someone else to have the fun of building it. Also failed with making soaps and candles back in elementary school. Not enough customers. Same with bike repair in 6th grade. I'm finding that I need to find something with a low start up and a decent base. Not looking for 40k a year but maybe just a flight lesson every two or three months to calm my craving for flight. Plus book money would help.
I've checked all the sites and blogs and pretty much my capital and age limits it. I was going to do an ice cream truck this past summer but the permits alone were $580, the equipment, the van, insurance, and then stocking up just blew my budget...Never got off the ground.
Any ideas? eBay and my adsense accounts only bring in $100-150 (if lucky) a month which is college loan repayment fund money. This is purely "joy" flying fund oriented. Tempted to just take an intro flight every other month
On a related note, I have already sold the boring King Schools videos...best exchange ever, King schools, $15 less than paid, for 2hrs of flying time :wink2:
