Introduction
Let’s face it! Not all of us were born with the fame, fortune, and looks of Paris Hilton or Tom Cruise! And lots of us will not have the financial means, family support, or good enough grades, to get into an Ivy League college, but we sure hope you do! If you decide you need to enter to the work force, you should seriously think about starting your own business, so that you can rely on yourself, and not be at the disposal, of someone’s beck and call. You just might end up doing something you like and are proud of! And, you just might end up making lots of money, doing it!
This book is intended to give you some good ideas for starting your own business and working for yourself. One of the best ways to use this book, is to use some of these ideas to make up your own idea! As with any business you start, you should check all local and state laws before you invest your hard earned money into any new business adventure. A lot of these businesses can turn into really good businesses, for the person that has a dream of turning a small business into a very large business. You’re way more likely to succeed if you do something you really enjoy, and then you won’t think of it as work!

1. Remote Control Aerial Photography
You can start your own business, and work for yourself, as an Aerial Photography Service, using a remote control aerial camera. You can do a Google or Yahoo search on the internet, and find companies that sell remote control helicopters that are available with a digital camera, so you can take nice pictures, just like from a real helicopter! You would set up your launching spot, and I’m pretty sure you would have a blast doing this job! You could offer this service to homes with land, like farms, schools, businesses, construction sites, and events like, company picnics, family reunions, and so forth. Who does not love a picture of what their place looks like from the air! An aerial view for a business, construction site, company picnic, and any other place you could promote it!
You would want to make up some signs for your automobile, so that people know you are in business! You should also have some business cards made up, and if you could get a card with a shot from the air, that would work even better!
You could also set up at some places, you think you could do some business with. In the beginning of your business, if you had to give out some free samples, then that is what it takes to get the word out about you. You could offer a business a free portrait of their whole business from the air, as long as they hung it in a place, like the lobby or waiting room, and you were allowed to have your contact information somewhere small, on the picture! That would get you lots of business if you put just a handful of photos out in high traffic areas!
This would be a very fun business to start, you could deal with wealthy home owners, and take aerial photos of their estates, large corporations, small businesses, and company and public events! I would highly recommend this business, just for the sheer fun of it!
2. Home Virtual Tour Service
You could start your own home virtual tour service with very little investment money. These days, even cell phones are equipped with high resolution cameras, and short span video cameras. You could step up, and use more conventional tools, like movie cameras. If you’re a teenager, you probably already know how to download a video onto the internet. You can also learn to upload videos to a website that will host them for you.
If you are very unfamiliar with either of these systems, you could always teach yourself how to do it, by doing lots of internet searches, and asking others how you do it, and any techniques. One thing for sure is, if you have a technical question about computers, and you post that question to a discussion board online, you will eventually find the person that actually knows how to do, what you want to do, and you will find the right answer to any computer question or problem, because computer people love to tell you what they know!
Once you have figured out how to download, and upload short video clips. You can approach real estate offices, brokers, real estate agents, homes for sale by owner, and new model homes. Not all of these places will have virtual tours. Usually the most expensive homes will have a virtual tour of the house, and grounds outside, extra features, like, the guest house, pools, horse arena. This would be a very fun job, and professional too!
You would want to have some magnetic signs made up for your vehicle. You would want to have nice business cards made up also. You could send a flyer out, along with the business cards, and offer your service to all the real estate offices in your area, offer them a special! Shop around to see what other virtual tour services are selling their services for, and be a little bit cheaper in the beginning!
