Car-hire service
To start a business you will need:
- a car in a good condition;
- a smartphone;
- a certain category of a driving license.
It is also advisable to have a simple website with the information about competitive advantages of your car-hire service (prices and discounts, service rate, additional services). In addition, it is preferable to live in the area where the infrastructure is underdeveloped – than you will have less competitors.
Your smartphone will serve you as an organizer, an address book and a GPS-navigator.
All you need is to register on UberCab, so that your passengers could order your service using their smartphones.
To order a car they just have to download the Uber app.

Journalist, blogger, writer
If you have a cool smartphone and a talent, you can easily become a professional journalist! The main thing is to be at the right time in the right place, where you will find the sensation! There you can catch the right person and easily take a video on the phone, and then propose this interview to a magazine or a TV-company.
Blogging can be a good starting point for that. Of course, it is clear that a smartphone is not very convenient for writing posts, it is much smarter to use a tablet for this purpose. But there are many iOS and Android applications that you can use to write posts on the major blog platforms (including WordPress and Tumblr), and some platforms (TypePad, for example) have built-in modules for working using mobile phones.

Guide
If you know your native city well, love it and have a plenty of free time – you can become a guide! All you need is your own web site and a “modest” advertisement on Excursiopedia!
What about cool guide apps? Yes, there are many of those, but they definitely can`t replace a real person, who has been born in the city and knows every cat out there!
You can set up multi-route Google maps on any Android phone and plan your tour in a best way. You can also create your own cool guide and sell it as an e-book or an app for a smartphone.

Dealer at auction
The first thing that comes to mind is eBay, one of the largest online auctions. Good auction has as many opportunities as items exposed.
If you have a spare time, don`t waste it, – go to the flea market (there are plenty of those in old cities), buy something that can be interesting to customers (for example, a work of art), and set it up for sale.
There are many examples of such business. For example, young people in Europe often buy vintage musical instruments and furniture, partially restore these items, and then sell at 5-10 times higher price to Americans. Demand creates its own supply – and vice versa!
You can search for what is new on eBay, using an eBay app for iPhone or Android anytime, anywhere.

Mystery shopper
If you adore shopping, this job is for you! It is actually a legal business for many people and it can provide a good income with a small effort. The only condition is that you should do the job technically right.
Manufacturers always want to know how their goods are arranged on a shelf, in what condition they get on the shelves, in what quantity, at what part of a store and at what price they are selling. And the agents (most frequently they are the students) can easily count the products and photograph the shelves in the supermarket while shopping!
It is better to check for a mystery shopper job in research institutions, such as foreign Corporate Research International, accessed by all reputable companies.
