Instructions

1. Assist people with writing cover letters and resumes. Find some friends, relatives and neighbors who are in need of help with constructing their cover letters and resumes, and offer your services for a fee. Also seek out more customers by visiting high schools, churches and community centers. Create flyers that describe your services along with your contact information.

2. Help aspiring restaurant owners design their menus and price lists. Ask your relatives, friends and neighbors if they know any new restaurant owners who need someone to help design their menus and, if so, give the owners some of your flyers which describe the nature of your work and contact information. If you've designed restaurant menus before, arrange to meet with the owners and bring a portfolio of your work for them to see.

3. Create special occasion invitations for engaged couples you know. Ask them what kind of wording they want on the invitation as well as the design. Then use your computer to make the invitations for a certain price.

4. If you're a student, proofread essays and research papers for your classmates. In addition to proofreading the assignments, you can also offer to help locate research materials that they can't find in the campus library or local bookstores.

5. Type love letters for people who want to express their love on special occasions. If you have some friends or relatives who want to propose to their partners with a letter but are not talented with writing, offer to type the proposal letters for them. Have them write down their thoughts and give them to you along with the deadlines they want the letters finished.
