Become a flower wholesalerA flower wholesaler or flower distributor is sort of like a florist, but on a contract with a larger chain.Instead of owning a traditional florist shop which requires a passion for flowers and extensive hintergrund knowledge, a flower wholesaler is a bit different. Mega wholesale chains like Sams Club and Costco use vendors for a large amount of their services.One of those services flowers.One reader atMoney Life Waxdescribed how his mom was a flower vendor for a Costco that he later took over the contract for.Flower Vendor ProsEarly mornings Quick hoursSimple, doesnt require much experienc ePays extremely well for the amount of workFlower Vendor ConsEarly morning hoursFinding your In as a vendorGaining enough experience (See if you can work for another)Not passive in anyway can be demanding4. Pick-up dog wasteI swear, I dont have some infatuation with human or pet waste, but there is a S ton of money in poop. Think about it. Every day around the country pets, especially dogs, poop somewhere outside.Some pet owners are even too lazy to walk their dog, so they stick them out in the backyard to to their dirty business. Then ever couple of weeks they pay a dog waste service to come pick up the dumps.You can even start your own company, like When Duty Calls Also, pay attention the next time you go for a walk around your neighborhood. Look at all the little dog stations where residents dispose of their pet waste. Who empties those and replaces the little baggies?Land a few contracts or clients and you have yourself quite the money maker, who would have thought5. Chase gees eSimilar to picking up dog waste, people in communities dont want to deal with the pesky Canadian geese and all of their droppings as they migrate north and south each summer.If you have ever lived near a pond or reservoir and taken a walk, you may have found yourself looking down and dodging goose poop with every step you took. Not only is this annoying, it quickly becomes annoying to property managers fielding complaint after complaint.So many have turned to using Geese Removal companies and specialists to help with the problem. With the combination of trained dogs and placing deterrents around ponds, this is a simple way to make some money without the internet.6. Power wash thingsOverhead costs Power washer.After you get your power washer, most power washing gigs are straight profit aside from buying soaps/chemicals. If you have neighbors with old fences and decks, your power washing services could be very mobiltelefon.Chances are, anyone who has ever tried to powerwash on their own has quickly found out that after about 5 minutes of getting soaking wet it isnt that fun.Just be sure to watch a fewYouTube videoson power washing ahead of time, but you can easily charge $30 an hour, by the foot or flat rates.7. Cleanup crime scenesThe title said creative ways to make money and being a crime scene cleanup specialist might finish a close second to mailing your poop around the country.Crime scene cleanup technicians specialize in the forensic cleanup of blood, bodily fluids, and any other potentially infectious materials that may be left behind at a crime or accident. In other words, you get to go behind the yellow tape, but only to clean-up the mess left behind.Luckily a crime scene cleanup specialist doesnt have to deal with moving bodies and there is no experience required (Not sure how you would get experience in this area anyways?). While many leverage this as a career, you can actually get certified and be On call.If you think a career or even a certificat ion is worth it,use this linkto find out where you can recieve crime scene cleanup training near you.8. Organize design closetsIf youre creative and pretty handy with a drill, organizing closets might be your way to make some extra money.The average closet design costs a homeowner somewhere in the neighborhood of $2,000-$6,000 according toThumbtack.com. So if you have the ability to draw some closet designs you can make an extra $1,000 reorganizing/designing closets.A closet side hustle will consist of installing shelves and systems, but as you advance your word of mouth referrals have the potential to take off9. Have reoccurring yard salesNotice, the title for this one was plural. There are pro yardsalers out there that buy stuff and resell stuff every weekend year round. Some will reserve their garage for ongoing yard sales bringing in a couple $100 each month.Having a yard sale every few weeks to sell your treasures and finds is a quick way to make some extra money each month. P osting your items on websites like Craigslist, Offerup and Ebay are great ways to generate sales too.When having yard sales, make sure you alwaysStart earlyRecognize simple things sell and add up (Like a wooden spoon for $1)Bargain and upsell other items into a saleMake it easier to see everythingHave signs that lead people to your houseConversate and get to know the person, theyll stick around and buy more10. Wholesale housesWholesaling houses is what you read, your eyes mucksmuschenstill work. This might sound a little dicey, but here is the process in a nutshellFind distressed properties and gets them under contract for 70 cents on the dollar.Without ever pulling a loan or sitting down at the table, sell the distressed property for 80-90 cents on the dollar to a house flipperAs the middleman, the end buyer closes and the wholesaler keeps the spreadAt this point you might be asking why would someone want to buy from a wholesaler? The wholesalers services are in high demand because of the energy, time and hassle they commit to finding properties for flippers.11. Mow grass shovel snowOK, this might not be that creative, but it works and its very simple.Grass comes back every spring and grows well into the fall in most locations. Right when the grass starts to die, snow rears its ugly head in most places around the country. Offering your services to a few neighbors each month can help you make a few $100 each month.Quick Math 4 lawns, $25 a pop, 2x per month = $200 a month. Do this for 6 months every time you cut your grass and you have an extra $1,200 annually.Marketing tip to help you land lawn and snow clients look for long grass and older people. If your neighbor is older or the person down the street as long grass, simply ask them (I have made well over $2,000 over the last few years cutting 1-3 neighbors yards each month).My takeaway to making money without the internetMaking money in 2019 outside of your full time job is all the buzz. But sometimes I f ind myself sick of being on my computer.As someone who teaches full time, blogs at night I am on a computer way more than I want to be depending on the week. So personally, I dont mind chasing the geese at the pond or mowing my neighbors grass.It gets me out of the house and besides, who doesnt enjoy doing something a little different to make money?This article originally appeared on Your Money Geek.You might also enjoyNew neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happyStrangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds10 lessons from Benjamin Franklins daily schedule that will double your productivityThe worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs10 habits of mentally strong people
