1. Landscaping
Landscaping laborers earn a median hourly wage of $12.07, according to PayScale. But landscape contractors can do even better.
You’ll need some basic yard tools and a lawn mower to start out, as well as a way to transport them around. Other costs may include those associated with getting licensed, bonded or insured. Check the requirements of the municipalities and state where you wish to operate.
As is the case for many businesses on this list, you don’t need a brick-and-mortar office or other dedicated facility.
