Earn money with animals: this article shows you 15 ways
Working with animals can be a great way to earn a little extra income. In some cases, you can even earn enough to quit your day job. So if you’re an animal lover looking to earn a little extra cash, consider the following 15 tips!
Tip 1: Offer to walk other people’s dogs: If you are looking to generate a little extra income, you can offer your services as a dog walker.
Tip 2: dog grooming: If people are going on vacation, offer to watch their dog.
Tip 3: cat sitter: One of our friends has installed cat cages (including running areas) to care for the cats when people are on vacation. It generates a good additional income and they can enjoy the company of other cats.
Tip 4: Wash and trim animals: Offer your services as an animal groomer and you’ll earn a little extra income. Remember… word of mouth is the best form of advertising.
Tip 5: Become a pet driver: Many pet owners, especially the elderly, have a hard time taking their animals to the vet. You can help them out and earn a few extra bucks by offering this service.
Tip 6: Become a Yard Cleaner: Many pet owners do not like to pick up after their pets. If you offer to pick up pet mess, you can earn quite a bit of money. Once you go live, you can set regular times and hours.
Tip 7: Register your pet with a modeling agency: You never know that your dog or cat (or other pet) could be the next big thing on the big screen, or at least in a supermarket catalogue. You won’t know if you don’t try!
Tip 8: Cleaning the aquarium: People love fish, but not the hassle of cleaning their fish tank. This is where you come in. With a small amount of equipment (tank vacuum and a few clean sponges) you can easily clean a fish tank. You can even take this to the next level by testing the water and the like.
Tip 9: Raising rabbits or guinea pigs: There is still some money to be made raising rabbits and guinea pigs. Do your research and determine which breeds are popular and suitable for your local area.
Tip 10: Breed Mice: This one is not for the faint of heart. There are a lot of people who buy mice; unfortunately, they are usually used as food for snakes or other animals. So if you can handle this thought, find some suitable prospects and let your mice do the rest.
Tip 11: Breeding Fish: This takes a bit longer to set up, but can definitely be financially rewarding. Choosing fish with a higher retail value, as well as those that are fairly hardy and can handle a variety of aquatic environments, is generally a better choice.
Tip 12: Make Birdseed Bars: These are relatively easy to make (look up some ideas on the internet) and can be sold at markets.
Tip 13: Invest in pet stocks: Pet actions generally work pretty well. If you see a company that consistently offers good products and is always in demand, see if you can invest in it.
Tip 14: dairy animals: Yes, this is completely out of the box, but some people make a very good living extracting spider venom (one person has a basement full of 5000 spiders safely locked away, and with the help of carbon dioxide (to knock out the spider for a bit), milks the poison and then sells it to pharmaceutical laboratories.
Tip 15: Write an animal blog: If you are someone knowledgeable about a particular animal topic, set up a blog for free, write about specific topics, and put Google AdSense on the site.
