People with writing skills can make money in many ways and one of the lucrative uses of their skills is by writing great content for professionals. Notably, Professionals such as Doctors, Lawyers, Dentists, Bankers, Nutritionists, Opticians, Dermatologists, Accountants, Travel Agencies, and Graphic Artists and many more others are looking for a way to promote their expertise without having to advertise.

These Professionals are sometimes too busy to promote their practice and attract new clients, but they are ready to pay others to do it for them. You can sell this service to them, ghost write article for them and get published.

Part-time teaching in Schools

In recent times, Entrepreneurship Education has been added to the curriculum of Primary and Secondary Schools. It has been observed that most Schools that don’t have enough resources to employ a full-time Instructor of these vocational skills prefer to engage Teacher on part-time basic.

Some of these new skills being taught are fashion, designing, bead making, carpentry, pottery, cosmetology, foreign languages, hair dressing, dance, music and others. 

As a part-time Teacher, you can arrange to teach the students in these areas once or twice a week. These skills are tailored to make the students to become Entrepreneurs and job creators after their education.

You don’t have to be a qualified Teacher to get this job. All it takes is to give the students short notes and engage them in practical and group projects to test their abilities. It’s a simple way for people who already have businesses in these areas to earn extra, and for start-ups to build their brand.

From Home Decorator to a Contractor

Most Women enjoy decorating their homes and Offices space for people and have been offering these services for free. Just think of how much you can make by turning this hobby into a business.

You can make money when you become a Decorator contractor. All you need to do is to bid for these jobs in any occasion or event, Hotels, Estate Agents, and government Agencies. You can either perform the work by yourself, or work with partnership with others contractors.

You can specialize in a particular aspect of home improvement projects such as flooring, wall papers, and lighting. In order to promote what your business, create a channel on Youtube and provide a clip with a title: - Do-it –yourself video tutorials. You need a computer, camera and editing software to achieve this.

Be a tour guide

There is a business advantage in residing in a locality with a tourist attraction. In festive season and summer holidays, people tend to visit tourist centers and they will need a Guide with knowledge of the historical background of the sites.

If there are interesting sites in your locality that attracts Tourist, you can offer to show them around and entertain them with history and aesthetics of the place for a token. As a private Tour guide, you need a conduct a research on the attraction sites and get enough information as much.

You can liaise with the organization managing the place, promote your services in the Hotel where the visitors are known to lodge and restaurant or list your services in the local brochure.

Making Money with culinary skills

For people who enjoy cooking new recipes, they can start a career in it by writing and publishing a cookbook, to teach people on how to cook a particular food.

These chefs can start a catering business and offer their services at both indoor and outdoor events. These places include weddings, birthday parties, funerals and corporate events. Promote your service at parties and bridal shops.

There is a room to explore a new area of cooking and providing food for foreigners in distant countries. It should be noted that most foreigners miss having some of their foods and beverages from homes.

People with culinary skills can fill this gap by opening a foreign food shop. This shop can be stock-pilled with a selection of food items and also prepare ready - to -eat meals for them.

There are many skills that someone can earn steady income from which I didn’t mention in this post. It is your duty now to check out those skills and most especially the ones you have interest in or flair for. It might be your hobby, turn them into business and make money.
