In 3 more months it'll be 2011 already and I'm thinking of a good sideline business I can do for the next year. Lol. I've been searching and all but couldn't find any that I like. Yesterday, when I was watching this show they said t-shirt printing is a cool business to make. For only P100 capital per shirt you can sell it for P300 and up. That's a good income, right? There's this other t-shirt printing and they sell and ship in different countries. I think that would be cool, if you could sell all over the world. Any ideas for a good sideline business?

For the past year I've been involved in direct marketing and I think that is a great type of business to have on the side. The thing that I really like about it is the fact that it really doesn't require any up front cost from you. There are also many different types of sales that you can choose to specialize in. I personally have been selling Tupperware, but there are many other things that you can do as well: makeup, home decorating, food, etc.

Well, a good sideline business is networking if you know how to sell and recruit people. Other stuff, is going under the radar, like buy and sell. Or selling online or in facebook? Another is selling mobile phone credits. There are several side line businesses which you can venture on. Only thing you will need is determination and patience.

it's a good idea if t-shirt printing is your hobby. but you have to consider the cost of ink and shipping to international..do you have cheap supply for your materials needed?? that way you can earn more and gain back your investment.

For a starters, I think the easiest and not capital intensive business sideline would be buy and sell. Look for a product that interests you because that way you'll be passionate to learn more about it. The more knowledge and interest you have on the product, the more convincing you will be in selling it. I'm still in the buy and sell food business and it has been pretty profitable for me. It doesn't cost me any overhead, raw materials, labor, etc. I just have to actually bring the product to the market and convince them to buy it.

Your ideas is ok but if only ideas it is impossible to make money... so my suggestion is go ahead take that opportunity. Please note did you know how to printing t-shirt, design, sources, and ask yourself are you happy for your ideas to do...? ok.. see you around

Dear mylotter,
Your idea sounds very good, by producing an selling t-shirt all over the world for flying businesses in 2011. If in my country are now business opportunities in online payments, because not everyone can be served with internet, this becomes a business opportunity when they have to pay various bills of credit. In 2011, I will develop this business in various regions. Now this is my business development began. Hopefully fellow survivors struggle in 2011 be the year of good luck.

Your idea sounds good. But, its not that easy to export goods. You have to go through a lot of formalities, gain access to the market in other countries, etc. Now that is going to cost you a lot. So be cautious.
But you sure can sell it in your local market. Try that to begin with.
Any business, needs customers. First check how many people around you are ready to buy, before you start.
Good Luck with that.
Cheers :)

Have you heard of these networking business? where you just invite people to join and instantly you earn. You can earn a lot from these but be sure that they have a certificates from DTI and other government agencies that they are licensed for business. Try looking up Vmobile their business strategy is networking but their products are cellphone loads and other online loading.
