Speak a foreign language? Start a translation service. Consider specializing in a specific genre of translation, like medical or financial translation, as you might be able to fill a niche need in your community.2. Garden designer

Do you create, collect, or curate anything special? Consider starting an ecommerce store and turning your hobby into a full-time job. Whether you need somewhere to sell all that pottery you’ve been making, or an excuse to search for the sports memorabilia you love tracking down -- an ecommerce store can make it financially viable for you to pursue your passion.4. Landscaper
Mowing, tree-trimming, and seasonal decor are all neighborhood needs. If you have or can acquire the equipment, a landscaping business can be a lucrative affair.5. Videographer

Make sure you have a reel of your work to share or create a website with several selections of your work available for interested viewers.6. Photographer
Start by conducting photo shoots for your family and friends. As you build a body of work, ask for referrals. Photography businesses often grow by word of mouth, so create a Facebook page where you can tag recent clients, which will show up in their friends’ newsfeeds as well.7. Travel planner
The time of the travel agent might be passing, but people are still looking for those with a knack for more nontraditional travel coordination.

Confirm the licensing requirements in your state and consider taking a few courses to build out your knowledge, authority, and expertise.10. House cleaner
With a low barrier to entry, house cleaning can be a great way to start doing what you love -- soon.
