Turn Your Talents Into Profits
by Darcie Sanders & Marhta M. Bullen
According the authors of this book a microbusiness has low start-up costs, is home-based, can be run by one person, offers flexible hours, and tends to be personally fulfilling as well as profitable.”
Sanders and Bullen interviewed 100 microbusiness owners about their home businesses and the results are the great ideas in this book.
The business ideas are grouped into six categories:
Arts & Crafts Businesses
Business Services
Personal Services
Educational & Entertainment Services
House & Garden
Buying & Selling
Each subject starts with a description of a real person who has turned the business idea into a going concern. You will read tips and advice from someone with hands-on experience, not just theory. The descriptions go on to include skills that are needed, start up strategies, and approximate earnings for the business.
The resource section at the end of this book is well worth the price. Included is contact information for dozens of organizations and associations, an extensive bibliography, and a lengthy list of magazines and trade journals related to each business category.
