Set Up A Backyard Chicken Coop
If you are someone who can handle routine, is consistency in tasks and follow a schedule well, running a backyard poultry farm may just be the right home business for you. Setting up a chicken coop requires you to choose the right kind of chicken breeds suiting your region as well as the demand in your area. Next up, clear up your backyard of rodents, rats, insects, burrows or anything that can be hazardous to chickens. When choosing a chicken coop in Australia, you must keep in mind the factors of humidity, rain and heat. Invest in a suitable chicken coop made of tough fir wood and wire mesh walls for ample ventilation and comfort. Also, ensure it sports a thick asphalt roof to protect against rain and heat.
Fresh Organic Kitchen Essentials Producer
Any other business may run out, but kitchen essentials, fruits & vegetables and herbs will always be in demand! Consider planting vegetables and herbs that can add to your kitchen stash and cut your groceries budgets. Some easy-to-grow vegetables at home include coriander, radish, papaya and jade among others. Once these multiply quickly, you can set up a counter outside your home to sell fresh and organic garden produce. Once the word spreads, this stash will soon fly off the shelves! Consider getting a garden specialist on board who can advise you on the right manure, fertilizers and techniques to derive the most from your garden. Also ensure you check your garden regularly for burrows or pits that can house rodents, rats or other insects that can wreak havoc on your produce.

With the advent of social media and digital connectivity, affiliate marketing has been gaining traction. Many small businesses of local products such as handmade soaps, candles, sustainable apparel and even home cooks are using affiliate marketers to reach their community of potential customers. For businesses that want to target buyers in their city, state or region, affiliate marketing is the way to go. It doesn’t take much to be an affiliate marketer. If you have a strong community reach, a big social circle and a gift of the gab, you can very well get started on your affiliate marketing journey.
Rent Our Your Backyard
If you have a backyard that is the envy of your neighbours, consider renting it out for private parties. There are several takers for a private party zone, but there aren’t enough such cosy spaces to seek out! Offer up your backyard on various local portals for friends looking to hire a backyard for the night. This is a great way to make rental income out of a portion of your home you may not use every day. Before you put out your backyard for party rentals, ensure you create an opaque closure between your home and your backyard that can be drawn up in such times to ensure complete privacy on both sides. Also, invest in comfortable outdoor seating that is ideal for large groups.
