Start an online business, such as a freelance writing career. Search for a company to start with that will pay you a set price for an accepted given article. Choose articles from the choices given that you are able to write, and perform any edits that the online entity needs. Learn to write a query letter, and begin searching out magazines that you might earn more money writing for. Look into writing ebooks, ecourses and other online publications as well.

Begin cleaning for people using their own supplies and equipment. Use word-of-mouth to get the word out about your new venture. Start with one home to clean, and work your way up to as many as you want. Expand your business further by offering your services to the business community as well. Have business cards made up using VistaPrint.com when your first pay day comes around. Start using natural, organic cleaning supplies as soon as possible, using this as a marketing tool for success.

Start a childcare business with no start-up costs, and slowly pick items up as your business grows. Call city hall or the local child welfare office to find out how many children you are legally allowed to babysit at one time without a license. Hang fliers on local bulletin boards with your name, number and the hours when you will be available to provide care. Do not be picky if it is not necessary, even if it means you are babysitting at night or all weekend. Take anything to begin with, until you are able to afford to set the hours that you desire.

Run other people's errands for them. Offer this service first to people you know, as they will need to be able to trust you with their money. Collect your references and then send fliers to day care centers to be sent home with parents, and nursing homes and other elderly care service providers who will be able to give your information to people leaving their care. Look for other opportunities to get the word out as well.
