Digital Marketing for Local Businesses
Run ads, manage Google Maps listings, or do social media for dentists, gyms, restaurants, realtors, etc. Monthly recurring income. -

If you know anything well (fitness, coding, design, language, finance, content creation), package it into a course or 1-on-1 coaching. -
Content Creation + Personal Brand
TikTok, YouTube, or Instagram focused on one topic. Monetize with ads, brand deals, affiliates, or your own products. -

Freelance Service Business
Skills like video editing, web design, copywriting, SEO, or no-code development. Can scale into an agency. -
Print-on-Demand Brand
Custom apparel, mugs, posters, or phone cases. No inventory risk if you design for a specific niche or trend. -
Mobile App or SaaS (Micro-SaaS)
Solve a small, annoying problem for a specific group. Even simple tools can make steady money if they save time. -
Home or Local Service Business
Cleaning, pressure washing, lawn care, moving, or home organizing. Not “sexy” but very profitable and scalable.
