An Idea for a Small Business You Can Start

Start-up costs range $50 to $500,000+, earnings $5,000 to $2,000,000++, skills from knowing nothing to running an airline. Bon appetit!

Start-up cost: $100.00 - $500.00

Potential earnings: $20.00-$30.00 per customer or group rates

How to Find Clients: Advertise locally (hotels & tourist spots) and with camera stores and film developer locations.

Equipment needed: A camera and a good selection of film to sell.

Qualifications: How to use a wide variety of cameras and most important, knowledge of the area you live in!

WHAT YOU DO
You take tourists (in my case, by the hundreds) to the best locations in your area and teach them how to use the camera they now own. Many (most) travelers bring a camera with them as they travel but do not know where to go to get the best shots. If you take them to a great location and show them how to get the perfect picture it makes them very happy. ($$). You can make arrangements with the local tour bus service or buy or rent a van to take 10 - 15 people at a time. You keep the cost low, (20-30 dollars) and you will be surpried how many people will take your tour. I started four years ago and have grown every year since. Connections with the local hotel-motelsd has helped also!

About You:
I started four years ago in Newport Rhode Island, (famous tourists are) and am now sponsored by Kodak, Canon and Fuji!! I took my favorite hobby and turned it into a profitable business. If you have tourists you can do it too!
