in an encyclopaedia and read mags like this one. Buy a few items to hedge your bets, then sell to antiques dealers and shops. 6. Virtual assistant Sign up to a site like virtualassistants.co.uk (2.95 to post a listing for 12 months). Invest in a secretarial or touch typing course to give you an edge over other candidates. More advice here. 7. Personal trainer Proper training courses are several hundred pounds at least (recommended ones here), but if you're a marathon old-hand or a gym-bod you could entice some clients without. Pick up part-time work in a gym to find clients. 8. Snack stall You can buy a stall for around 100 - 150 (from somewhere like this). Make sure you comply with all health and safety regulations and get a license from your local council if you're selling alcohol, hot food between 11pm and 5am or food from a stall or van on the street. If you're looking for more tips, check out our guide on how to start a market stall here. 9. Late-night alcohol delivery Supply the midnight masses and charge a premium on booze and snacks delivered after pub closing time. You'll need a personal license to sell alcohol, which costs 37 - get it online from your local council. 10. Cleaning company Start this business with no overheads by using clients' cleaning products. Pay for Disclosure and Barring Service Checks (26 each) for yourself and any other members of staff to reassure new customers once you get some money coming in. With these top tips, starting a cleaning company is the easiest way to change a chore into a business. 11. Focus group organiser Target small businesses at networking events and with flyers to user-test their new products or websites. Then place free ads on Gumtree to find participants and skim a fee off their hourly pay. More info here on conducting focus groups. 12. Flyering agency Call around all local business and clubs and say you'll find them someone to hand out flyers for a 3 charge (on top of their hourly rate). Then find students in need of work on Gumtree. 13. Pop-up restaurant Decorate your living room, stick some posters in your front window and start a restaurant in your house. Technically you're meant to get a load of health and safety checks done for this, but there's a whole crop of people doing it on the sly. Check out our guest blog from Horton Jupiter to find out how it's done. 14. Treasure hunt business You can start this business for next to nothing. Do some research on your local area and plant clues for family fun days and cheap office outings. Take a look at how Hunt Fun and Treasure Days are doing it. 15. Sell pot plants, herbs and home-grown veg The whole of the middle class is into organic and home-grown veg these days, and with packets of hundreds of seeds coming in at around 60p, you can sell your own produce for a whopping profit. Or just take clippings
of plants and herbs you already have, grow out into separate pots and sell to neighbours and friends. 16. Gardening and landscaping assistant Got green fingers? Put them to use by offering your services to people in your area. Show them sketches of how you think the garden could be improved and you become a landscape gardener to boot (though you'll need to do careful research on what grows well in which places and at what times of year). For some helpful hints, read this free guide. 17. Meal delivery service Capitalise on people too busy or too lazy to cook by offering to deliver delicious dishes of their liking, home-cooked by you. Check out our interview with the founder of The Pure Package for inspiration. 18. Walking and bike tours Armed with nothing more than a map and a book on local history, you can guide tours around your local commons, hills or towns and share insight into the history of your area for a small charge. 19. Clothes repairs Basic needlework is astonishingly straightforward. Offer to darn friends of friends' clothes for a nominal fee and take in too-big shirts and skirts. 20. Gift baskets Knocking up ribbon-adorned wicker baskets brimming with Bon Maman jams, freshly-baked muffins and fruit is relatively cheap, but you can charge a premium. 21. Dog training Easy if you know how. Getting a formal qualification will improve your chances of doing business with people you don't know. Check out the Association of Pet Dog Trainers for more info. 22. Pet sitting and walking Most pet owners prefer one-on-one TLC for their animals than putting them into kennels. Keep your rates competitive and incentivise clients to refer a friend. 23. Event and party planning Perfect if you've got a natural knack for organisation. Establishing cut-price deals with catering companies, florists, wine suppliers and the like will ensure you offer a competitive service. 24. Car boot sales Have a proper clear-out of your junk to get started, then reinvest profits into buying stuff from any charity shop you have time to scour. Offer to take friends' junk off their hands to cut overheads. 25. Social media assistant More and more small businesses are latching onto the fact social media can help them, so offer to maintain accounts for them for a small fee - you can keep business ticking over while still doing your day job. Tools like Tweetdeck will help hugely. More advice here. 26. Handyman There are gutters to clean, tiles to be scrubbed, lawns to be raked and paths to be laid all around the country. Post friendly notes through letterboxes advertising a cheap hourly rate. 27. Home tutor If you've got a degree, or good A-level results, you can offer to help out schoolkids with their homework and exams. Get a certification to make it more official if you struggle to find work. 28. Computer skills mentor There are still millions of people out there who feel utterly confounded by computers and the internet. If you're a spreadsheet whiz or an Outlook old-hand,
you can charge them for lessons. 29. CV consultant If you've made it through the rat race and come out the other side older and wiser, you can help newbies tidy up their CV's. Advertise on Gumtree and ask friends, and keep fees low. 30. Second-hand clothes stall Get yourself down to a retro clothes market in a university town, armed with piles of 70s, 80s and 90s clothes from charity shops, and you'll find you can charge anything from 5 to 50 an item. Ask the local council about renting a stall. What business to start?

Women Entrepreneurs Festival We6When: April 13-14, 2016; Where: New York City, NYWhy: Now in its sixth year, the Women Entrepreneurs Festival brings together powerful women eaders and innovators from across the globe for two intense days of networking and discussions about how to be a successful female entrepreneur. The past five festivals have seen the genesis of new business partnerships, companies and mentoring arrangements.The bottom lineConferences are only as good as your follow-up. Have a system in place for recording and remembering the people you meet. I like entrepreneur and NerdWallet co-founder Jake Gibson's recommendation for keeping a Google spreadsheet. Gibson advises recording personal details about people you meet, including what you discuss. Make sure to follow up with everyone you meet within a week of the event, even if it's just a short "great to meet you" note on LinkedIn. Carry the momentum forward!Related: These 5 Tech Conferences Will Let You See the World For reprints and licensing questions, click here. Get Your Valuation Do you know what your business is worth?

of Lyft or Uber, so do some research before the event and see what transportation options there are. Make sure you download the app of whatever option is available -- this simple planning allows you to quickly head to your hotel once you touch down.Let your social-media contacts know you are attending a particular conference. If your network is mostly industry connections, there will be a good chance many of them will also be attending. It's always nice to know there will be familiar faces at a conference to take in the experiences with.4. Include a full change of clothes in your carry-on bag.Lost baggage happens, and if your checked bags contain all of your clothes you could be left scrambling to try to piece together an outfit at the last minute while at the same time attempting to track down your baggage through the airline. Toss a set of clothes in your carry-on to ensure you won't have to make a frantic last-minute trip to a local mall.5. Plug your hotel address and conference venue address into your phone.You will often need to reference the conference venue and hotel addresses when arranging transportation, looking for restaurants and finding evening entertainment. It makes for quick decisions on the go possible -- everything is usually fast-paced so take advantage of any opportunity to save time.6. Ask for an upgrade at your hotel.You might be shocked to learn that many hotels will upgrade you for simply asking. Most hotel staff members are extremely accommodating and if there is anything they can do for you they will typically go out of their way to give you any available promotions. Also, don't forget to ask them if any of your corporate or personal credit cards entitle you to any upgrades.7. Make dinner reservations far in advance.Finding a nice place to eat close to the venue hotel, especially at larger conferences, can be a challenge. Save yourself the headache and book dinner reservations in advance. Research places to eat that are close and have good reviews online. When everyone is scrambling to find places with availability, a simple, "We have a couple empty seats at our reservation" is an offer a new connection can't pass up. 8. Bring a bottle of Advil.Advil can be your best friend at conferences for many reasons -- uncomfortable hotel beds can mess up your back, happy hours can morph into long nights and staring at small laptop screens all day can cause headaches. Avoid having to seek out a drug store by arriving equipped with a bottle of Advil.9. A power strip can be your most effective ice breaker. Everyone in attendance is armed with mobile devices, tablets and laptops -- making power outlets the most valuable commodity at a conference. Throw an entire power strip in your bag. This accomplishes two things -- your devices will never be without a charge and you will become an instant conference hero to those around you.10. Pack your daily bag with a full day in mind.Most conferences are all-day events, starting early and
going into the evening, followed immediately by a networking happy-hour or dinner event. When you pack your bag for the day make sure you have everything you need, and if you are staying off-site assume you won't be able to make it back to your hotel room.You need business cards, your electronic devices, chargers and some snacks to hold you over between scheduled meals. Toss a couple of protein bars in your bag -- when you are hungry it's harder to focus, so make sure you always have something to snack on.Related: 4 Ways Entrepreneurs Can Stay Sharp on the Road11. Put your phone in airplane mode to help conserve juice.During a conference you will primarily be on your laptop, so while you aren't using your phone switch it to airplane mode so it's not using the Wi-Fi and cellular data. This will help conserve your battery -- and you will have plenty of juice to get you through evening networking.12. Set up an email auto-reply message.With modern technology you can take your office with you and work remotely, barely skipping a beat. With that being said, you should still consider setting up an auto-reply message alerting people that you are out of the office and there might be a slight delay in your response. You don't want to be glued to your email -- if people know you are out of the office you can focus on the event and attend to your email when you have time.13. Take note of the conference hashtag.Nearly every conference will have a dedicated hashtag, which will be used prior to the event to build awareness and excitement, during the event to connect everyone in attendance and then after the event to make write-ups and pictures easy to discover.14. Have a short and effective intro-pitch ready.One of the biggest benefits of conferences is the networking -- while I'm going to INBOUND 2015 to learn and grow, I'm also going there to network. I'm going with the intention of making new connections as well as exploring opportunities with warm leads -- all of my networking goals revolve around securing new corporate clients for Market Domination Media.I have short intro pitches in my head so I'm ready for any situation I find myself in. You don't want to sound like a robot, but you should know how to explain what you do and how you can help in just a few simple sentences.15. Plan your agenda before arriving at the conference.If you arrive at a conference without a detailed agenda, you will be left scrambling to find sessions to attend with any open seats. Go through the full lineup and highlight the sessions you absolutely don't want to miss. Then, start to create a schedule for each day. You should land with a finalized plan so there will by smooth sailing the entire conference.If anyone is heading to Boston for INBOUND 2015 and wants to network, follow me on Twitter or connect with me on LinkedIn -- it should be a great time.Do you have some additional
