Although companies like Mary Kay and Avon can make direct sales appear to be ventures for ladies, there are many network marketing companies that are filled with men, such as Herbalife, Melaleuca, and Primerica. Decide what type of products you are passionate about, and choose a direct sales company that offers those items.

46. Teach English or a Foreign Language.

Are you bilingual? Being able to speak multiple languages is a valuable skill to have as people are always traveling or moving from place to place. That said, even if you have minimal knowledge of a language, you can teach what you know to others.

You don’t have to be completely fluent to share what you know. Inform your customers of what you are able to teach, and decide which age groups you are comfortable teaching. Determine what would be a fair price, and begin to rack up money with each teaching session!

47. Buy an Existing Business With Traditional or Start Up Financing.

Is there a local coffee shop, book store, thrift store, or restaurant that you love frequenting and have had your eyes on for a while? Buying this business may be your solution. If you have pretty decent credit, you will be able to go to your local bank for a loan to buy the business.

Before you get the loan, however, you will have to determine how much capital you need to raise. After you have negotiated with the business owner and have decided on a price at which he’s willing to sell, decide how much of your own money you can put towards buying the business and how much you will need to borrow. Then hit the road, and head to the bank!

With online p2p lending companies, you can decide how much you are willing to loan out and can rest easy knowing that you’ve made a good investment.
