What are you good at and what do you like to do? Are you a people person? Do you have space to make things/hold stock? Are you fit and healthy?

I keep seeing people doing a few days courses then trying to set up in business but they’re terrible. It’s important to have some natural skill in something if you want to make it into a business I think.

With working from home I've had a massive sort out of my wardrobe and have sold some bits on eBay.

What about a cleaning company or ironing service ?
Cleaning company I’ve been looking into doing that. However I just hate working with the public, I feel like I’ve done my time and now I want out. I would honestly have a breakdown if I had any complaints

I tried selling things on eBay. Things I had to get rid of and also dropshipping but I had too many people scam me and say the box was empty or didn’t arrive

Well I’m good at business, I’m doing a degree in business so I’m now looking at setting up as a virtual assistant freelancer. I think it’s one of those things that takes a lot of time and effort to get started but once I get those clients I’ll be great.

btw I made this post for everyone to have ideas not for it to be about me sorry if I didn’t make that clear

Buying cheap tat:blankets from alibaba and selling them for over inflated prices aka Sarah Ingham.
Joking aside any kind of hobby or skill you have is always a good bet.

I have to be careful with my contract at work so it’s not a conflict at work but I was thinking of freelance programming/analytics. I’m an R and Python wiz and I know I’m useless at anything creative so just playing to my strengths. Does come in handy for recreational things too like tracking Twitter sentiment on particular topics or building apps to make my life easier.

Jumping on this to ask if anyone has experience of adult work... I’ve been looking into text chat services. I don’t want to do anything on camera or anything where I’m identifiable because of my full time job, but thought it could be an extra earner.

I make candles and wax melts and run a small business for this.

Mega small at the moment as I haven't really promoted apart from locally (and spent a bit on candle testing and logos, resources etc), but looking to upsize soon as I'm looking to drop my hours at my "proper job".

So maybe find a hobby, perfect it and turn it into a small business.

Reddit has a thread called slave labour where people request and offer skills, small jobs for £5-30ish payments via PayPal. Works well for people with language, programming, design types skills. I had a logo made for instance, I think they guy probably did an hour or so work and I paid £25. And for me it was as good as the guys that did a mock up and wanted £1000 to use it.
Things like translating a page or two, photoshopping a pic, creating a banner etc

How did you get into/learn how to do programming/analytics stuff like R and Python was it through a degree, course or part of your main job? Im quite interested in doing a course in this area as it fascinates me but not a clue where to start!

I’m 100% self taught in both- I came out of uni with experience in SPSS but I just didn’t like it and felt like there was better out there - especially when working with Market Research data. So a problem would come along at work and I’d teach myself to do it in R/Python and over time just caught a bug for making apps or replicable code or something automated so I could save myself a load of time. For me, I find setting myself a goal of something I want to do and figuring out the puzzle made me learn a lot quicker than a course would. Even if it’s just a small thing like making some charts.
