I came across this on Instagram and honestly thought...this is such a smart business idea. Here’s how it works. You set up at parties or events, kids take photos, and the pictures get turned into personalised keychains or wristlets on the spot. And that’s what makes it brilliant, the party favour becomes part of the experience itself. Parents love things that feel interactive and memorable, especially when it’s something the kids get excited about immediately. Plus it removes the stress of trying to figure out party bag ideas. This could work for: - Birthday parties - School events - Baby showers - Dance recitals - Brand pop-ups - Holiday events And the startup model is actually pretty simple. Once you have your setup, you can automate a lot of the business side too; bookings, reminders, deposits, follow-ups, all of it. Here’s what the numbers can look like 😀 20 kids at $15 per personalised keychain = $300 from one event. Two bookings a weekend = $600. Add bigger events and school bookings into the mix and this can easily grow into a solid income stream. Here’s the post that inspired this idea 👇🏽 Instagram link What type of event do you think would book this the most in your area? 👀

Most people don’t realise this is even a business, but it absolutely is. Think about how stressful it is trying to find a reliable plumber, cleaner, electrician, painter, or handyman. People spend hours asking for recommendations, comparing prices, and hoping the person they hire actually shows up and does a good job. That frustration is the opportunity. A home service middleman business is where you become the trusted connector between homeowners and reliable service providers. You’re not doing the physical work yourself, you’re coordinating the job and making the process easy for both sides. You build a network of trusted professionals, then when someone needs help, you connect them to the right person and charge a coordination fee or percentage from the job. The real value here is convenience and trust. Once people know you connect them with reliable workers, they come back again and again. Here’s what the numbers can look like 👀 A $400 plumbing job with a 15% fee = $60 A $1,500 painting project = $225 A $300 deep clean = $45 Multiply that across multiple jobs every week and this can quickly turn into recurring monthly income. And the best part? You can run the entire thing from your phone. No need for warehouse, equipment, or a physical labour. Just organisation, communication, and a strong network. Do you think you’re already connected to enough reliable service providers to turn something like this into a business? 😃👇🏽
