I'm brainstorming non-traditional ideas for a business that I can start on a part-time basis and specially interested in plans that are easy to set up and can be run on a shoestring budget.

No one is going to give you an idea that is profitable, or else they would do it themselves. Also, we don't know your individual skills. But, if you follow this link you can get an idea of a way to keep the budget really low.http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AkmP0dUItLEf7jybVCDyj7Tsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid =20080430221928AALxhiA&show=7#profile-info-i7Gqb6zzaaIts a cash flow oriented start up.

If you're looking for offbeat ideas to start off on a limited budget here are 3 proven jobs / businesses that I know work today:1. VINYL LETTERING & PRINTINGThis is a lucrative home business that very few know about. You can charge per letter for your decorative or calligraphic ideas and still have startup costs within budget.Source: http://VinylLettering.50webs.com2. LOW BUDGET FILM MAKINGFrom websites to media houses, everyone needs video that's high on quality but low on cost. With the dirt-cheap (even free) tools available on the market today, this is not as hard as it seems.Source: http://NoBudgetFilmMaking.50webs.com3. FREELANCE VIRTUAL ASSISTANTThis is the more 'traditional' of the two above but has a proven place for companies looking to outsource their customer support jobs to people around the country. These companies have been around for a long time and the trend continues even today.Source: http://VirtualAssistant.50webs.com
