1. Photo Journalism :

Good at capturing, editing and telling a story through images? This just might be one of the perfect weekend business ideas for you! With multiple online websites, YouTube channels, weekly/ monthly publications and various other forms of audiovisual of news platforms out there, there is a vast requirement of good material which people are ready to pay big bucks for. The initial cost of setting up is that of your photography equipment and social media promotion.

2. Tour Guide :

All the useless roaming around (according to your parents) just saved your day! Knowing your city in and out- its history, culture, food etc and having good interpersonal and communication skills is all you need to know to be an amateur tour guide. You can always do courses in tourism or get certified by the Department of Tourism to take it up professionally.

3. Pet Boarding :

This one is for the animal lovers out there, wanderlust doing us good! A lot of people travel these days, from weekend trips to long vacations and the pet parents need to leave their little ones somewhere they’ll be looked after. All you need is the basic infrastructure like separate cages with a sleeping area, open play area, grooming facilities, dog handler etc. It is necessary to have previous experience with animals such as veterinary technician, pet sitter, dog walker, or animal shelter volunteer.
