Will I Prosper In This Kind Of Business?
There’s a lot of money in this kind of business since everyone at some point would want to have their hair, nails, skin, and just about any part of their body done. The idea is to first learn how things are done, what equipment you should be using, and being familiar with this kind of industry. There are a lot of makeup artists that have become famous with their profession and so can you. Learning is the easier task but the actual work can be a bit of a challenge for those who are untrained.
If you're going to focus on being a makeup artist you may need to shell out a bit of cash for the equipment. However, unlike any other type of business, your equipment doesn’t get broken or would need upkeep. Makeup doesn’t run out fast and you’d already have a lot of applications before you could use up a whole kit.

This business can be a high paying one if you know how to pick your clients. Although it’s not all the time that you could encounter a good tipper but you’ll encounter one every now and then. Aside from being a fun business, this also lets you stay healthy yourself. Just remember, being a personal trainer is somewhat being an inspiration, a role model that your clients would look up to. You don’t really need to invest a lot of money in becoming a fitness trainer but rather a lot of your time. But if you're stuck at home with nothing else to do but spent your time, this will be the perfect opportunity for you.
14.) Massage Therapist
To become a massage therapist you must first acquire certification. Health regulations normally require this if in case you run into some problems with your clients.

This will cut costs down drastically. Just be sure that you do make a room in your house that’s suited for this business. You may need to invest in a massage table that’s specially designed to be used for massage sessions. Oils and other essential items like scented candles are also part of your expenses.
If you’re planning on putting up a small massage business within your home, it’s best to have someone to assist you. Train someone that you know who’s willing to do the job. Later on more and more clients will pour in depending on the quality of services you offer.
15.) Beauty Adviser
Most people face problems with their looks, their style, and choice of clothing.
