Weekend Money - Part 6

Arts and Crafts Broker

A rapidly growing industry is the traveling crafts show where companies and individuals sell original art work and crafts. However, most people would have no idea how to go about setting up a booth nor would they normally have enough art work or crafts created to make it worth while. You might be able to help them by becoming a broker for several artists and craftsmen. Offer to set up a booth at a local crafts fair and sell crafts on consignment. That would mean that you were only committing money to rent the booth but not buying the artwork itself. You would sell it for the artist and receive a
commission based on the sale price of the work. If you find this enjoyable work, consider expanding and selling the art work or crafts directly to other retailers.

Car Washing/Waxing

One of the first jobs many of us had was washing cars for the neighbors. Today, with the expensive finishes on new cars we are not willing to trust our investments to youngsters. However, most of us know that our cars need to be washed regularly to extend the life of the finish, but our schedules just don’t allow it. If you enjoy working outside and enjoy cars this is a great opportunity. The financial investment is very small. Several phone calls to new car dealerships will get you all the information you need to make sure that you are usingthe correct products for the new, softer finishes.
