What are the easiest businesses to get into?

[parkingpartners.com]

I'm compiling a list of the best part time businesses to get into for a project of mine:

Say, 15-20 hours a week, with little start up investment, with little personal selling involved (most people don't like sales).

On my list already are service oriented businesses such as:

Listing things on Ebay for people who aren't computer savvy.

Dog walking

Delivery service for seniors (I know someone who delivers videos from Blockbuster, etc).

Starting a website, lol.

Misc delivery/errand services (picking up dry cleaning, etc).

Other suggestions?

Well, domaining is out, as more than half the work is finding end-users and convincing them to buy your name.

The easiest business to get into is the one which involves something you are passionate about because then the whole business becomes a joy instead of a chore - it may be frustrating but there is no point in entering into something that you dont enjoy because when things go wrong, the motivation is hard to come by to get it back on track.

However, other good service markets are things like ironing services, cleaning services, weekend car valeting service etc.

Note all the above should show how lazy I actually am!!

:lol:

I have always liked the notion of starting up a popular forum, but never got the energy to do so

In a few weeks, we'll be selling a turn-key version of hostmysig.com / myimgs.com for an affordable price that will allow everyday people to start their own image / file hosting companies. Those are very popular right now.

Acually an online baby sitter website would be funny because you could have it like script lance lol people post when they want a baby sitter people post offers, then they get feedback ratings and stuff haha that, i know that redhippo's post had nothing to do with that but it would be funny :D
