28. Video Game Store - If you have a passion for video games and find a great location, this can be started with relatively low start up capital.  Your biggest expense would be your overhead as you can purchase used game consoles and games at pennies on the dollar and resell them for a nice profit.  You can buy back games from customers and resell them at great margins.  You could even rent out game consoles and games to further improve profits.  You should start off with at least 300 games with about 100 games for each of the popular gaming consoles.  You must learn how to monitor inventory and learn bookkeeping, but these are easy manageable things compared to other start ups.  If you have a good location near a school, try selling snacks, sodas and drinks so you can bring in additional revenue while kids/adults browse your store.
29. Affiliate Website Owner - If you are a good writer and have some knowledge about SEO, you could start earning affiliate income for bringing in visitors.  If they click on your ad, you will earn a commission if they buy something from the store you are advertising.  One of my friends has started one and while it hasn't made him rich it has earned money.  It is a coupon code site and can be found at Ultra Store Coupons
