Although there are many creative businesses today that were started on the internet, we may forget about those successful businesses that were profitable in the last century, before the internet ever started. Maybe even long before that.
What did those creative entrepreneurs do to try to make money without holding down the traditional 9 to 5 job? (Isn’t that really 8 to 5?) I am going to explore through my blog posts a number of those businesses. While I am mentioning them, try to think about the possibility of starting a similar business in your community, and to also think about applying that business as an internet business. Why not? If it was successful back then, what’s to stop it from making money today?
(1) The first business I am going to talk about is nature’s way of getting rid of rats. Did you know that a rat has a natural enemy? It’s called the ferret. 
People have operated successful businesses in the past, raising and selling ferrets to help people get rid of those pesky vermin. Some of their customers even bought them as pets. FIND OUT ABOUT FERRETS
A ferret is a weasel-like carnivore, about 14 inches long, usually white with red eyes and used to hunt rabbits, rats, etc. Many ship companies use ferrets to rid their ships of rats, and they are also used by warehouses for the same purpose.
To raise and breed ferrets, you only need to start with 20 or 30. Your herd will increase to several thousand, depending on how much land you have that would be available for this unusual enterprise.
The original article describing this unusual business, explained that a Mr. Gilman in an eastern state had a very profitable business, (partly because there wasn’t much competition).
Can you see yourself doing this? Maybe there is some vacant land in your area that you could lease for this purpose.
That’s it for this time. Look out for other posts from me on the unusual and proven to be successful businesses from years ago, or even today.
Best regards,

Wonderful article! We are linking to this great article on our site. Keep up the good writing.
After study a few of the blog posts on your website now, and I truly like your way of blogging. I bookmarked it to my bookmark website list and will be checking back soon. Pls check out my web site as well and let me know what you think.
Nice post. I learn something more challenging on different blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice a little something from their store. I?d prefer to use some with the content on my blog whether you don?t mind. Natually I?ll give you a link on your web blog. Thanks for sharing.
This is the right blog for anyone who wants to find out about this topic. You realize so much its almost hard to argue with you (not that I actually would want?HaHa). You definitely put a new spin on a topic thats been written about for years. Great stuff, just great!
There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Both boys and girls feel the impact of just a moment?s pleasure, for the rest of their lives.
Today, employers expect to see the actual employment title you are hoping to apply for – while a general resume fails to show this. On top of that, they instantly want to discover what positively makes you a better choice – but a general resume causes you to appear identical to the other 399 general resumes they’ve already had dumped on them.
After going over a number of the blog posts on your blog, I honestly like your way of blogging. I bookmarked it to my bookmark website list and will be checking back in the near future. Please check out my website as well and let me know how you feel.
When I originally left a comment I seem to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now every time a comment is added I receive 4 emails with the same comment. Is there an easy method you can remove me from that service? Thank you.
There’s definately a great deal to know about this subject. I love all the points you’ve made.

Hi! I just wish to give you a huge thumbs up for the excellent info you have got right here on this post. I am returning to your blog for more soon.
Can you pay for a general one-size-fits-all resume, which you can use anytime, anywhere, for any job position? What the Experts say: It is a stupid mistake! The key fact: Hiring decision-makers are forced to sift through as much as 500 resumes a day! Therefore they throw out any resume which is not narrowly targeted to the work being hired.
