A Business Opportunity at Your Finger Tips
A business opportunity doesn't necessarily have to require of vast amounts of equipment, inventory or even office space. You can run a successful business based solely on your talent or skill.
In the last few decades, modern medicine has acknowledged the benefits of massage therapy. Training is required to become a licensed massage therapist with course work in areas of anatomy, the nervous system,
biology, chemistry and many other subjects vital to a career in massage therapy. Once licensed a massage therapist can find work in hospitals, nursing homes, spas, gyms and other places that focus on health. Massage therapy also presents itself as great business opportunity, giving the therapist the freedom
to work for his or herself.
Another Business Opportunity at Your Fingertips
For anyone who can type relatively well, work as a typist or data entry keyer is a business opportunity worth considering. Upgrades in technology have also made it a business opportunity people can do from home. Getting work as a typist or data entry keyer (also called key data operator or input operator) doesn't require much school. A high school diploma, a typing speed of 45-55 words per minute, and strong clerical, reading, and math skills will get you in the door.
For data entry keyers, experience or training with the software or specific machines a business uses will boost your chances of succeeding. The job responsibilities vary, depending on status.
Entry level typists can expect to prepare reports, letters, mailing labels and other material, graduating to more complicated in-depth material. Data entry work can entail database creation, editing, and updating, system creation and testing, report writing, and proofreading.
In addition, keyers may also have to work with machines similar to computers that actually put the information on magnetic disks or tapes. The work is repetitive, but it's flexible, depending on your skill level.
A Business Opportunity at Someone Else's Fingertips
If you have a creative flair and want a relatively quick training period, becoming a licensed nail technician may be the path you should take. Weddings, proms, New Year's parties, Valentine's Day or other special occasions provide nail technicians the opportunity to work their magic. It is also a business opportunity that will keep you busy all year. Most states require a license, which is obtained through completion of a certain number of school hours.
The number of hours can range from as low as 40 to as high as 1200, depending on which state you live in. Schools offer courses in artificial nail types like gel, fiberglass and acrylic as well as courses in techniques like air brushing. Manicures, pedicures, massages, professionalism, and sanitation are also part of the class load. After completing the required schooling and becoming licensed, opportunity is just waiting for nail technicians.
In some states, a nail technician can work out of his or her home or run mobile salons, providing that certain requirements are met. Since most clients must make appointments, a nail technician career is not only fun, it's flexible.
