What services you can sell
Selling your services means charging for something you know how to do. You don’t need stock or premises: just to do it well and find who needs it.

How to choose
- Can you already do it? Can you show something you’ve done?
- Does someone nearby need it and would they pay?
- Can you do it with what you already have (phone, computer, tools)?
It’s best to start with something you already know and learn the rest on the way. Your first job is your best advertising: keep it to show.
