The Idea:
Make money shopping for others.
How it Works:
Personal Shopping is a growing industry as people become busier and have less time to dedicate to looking good or searching for the perfect gift. People from many different walks of life turn to personal shoppers to help them with their shopping needs and you could position yourself as a person for them to turn to. To succeed, you should be good at finding vendors of the items you generally shop for and have some negotiating skills to try and get lower prices. You can specialize in shopping for particular items, like clothing, jewelry or gifts. Or you could specialize by client, offering services to companies, senior citizens or busy individuals.
How Much Can You Make:
Personal shoppers can make over $100,000 per year.
