Here's a service I might actually use. I need someone to take all of my family photos and organize them. They need to be sorted and placed into photo albums. I also need someone to take my digital photos and have many of them printed and the others placed into digital albums.

If you have the patience you can easily start this type of business with very little start up. Advertise yourself as a family photo organizer. Explain to clients the time you can save them and also the benefit of preserving photos in albums rather than envelopes.

You can create family albums, an album for each child, wedding albums, vacation albums and even pet albums. Once your service is up and running you can send reminders so that you get a call once the next batch of photos has been taken.

Organized photo albums not only help families save time but they make great gifts! What could be better than to present mom with a very organized album with all of the kids pictures. Parents can also present the kids with their own albums at graduation time.

Digital photography is another great opportunity. Why not help families upload their photos to Flickr or many other photo sharing websites? Turning photos into easy to view CD's is also an option. Add a slide show with fades and music. Photo CD's make great Christmas gifts to friends and family.

Get busy thinking of how you can start your own photo organizing business. Be the first in your town or city and you'll be the go-to person in your area. A great business to start part-time if needed.

Much success!!
