12 Remote Business Ideas in
Maine
Looking for a Remote Business Idea in Maine? Wanting to start a business from home but need a Maine Remote Business Idea? This page is to help you find 12 work from home business ideas in Maine. Nate Jones Entrepreneur is here to help you with 12 remote business ideas below. Starting the correct business is super important to your entrepreneurial success.
1. Virtual Assistant Agency or Service
-
In this business you will either be placing VA's at companies like a staffing company or your company will offer a service that is fulfilled by VA's that you have hired.
-
An example: You place a VA for $1,000 a month to a client. You pay the VA $600 a month and pocket $400 a month for placing the VA.
-
With labor cost being one of the largest line items for a business, this business can be great a solution for most companies.
​
2. YouTube Monetization
-
My YouTube Channel (youtube.com/@nate_indiana_jones) makes me around $1,200-$2,000 a month. This isn't a ton of money but it doesn't take a lot of my time.
-
Running a successful niche YouTube channel can provide you a passive income source.
3. Lead Generation Business​​
-
I own a lead company (contractorbackoffice.com) so I naturally love this business.
-
A lead generation business essentially sells leads to other businesses. An example, a plumbing company needs leads to sell plumbing jobs. My lead generation business sells leads to contractors.
-
If you can sell leads or appointments to companies, they will pay you handsomely.
​
4. Social Media Management, Website Design, and Marketing Management
​
5. Bookkeeping and Accounting
-
This business is great because there is a shortage of bookkeepers and accountants.
-
Also, this business has recurring revenue. Most clients do not leave you if you do a great job.
​
6. ​Insurance Agency Business
-
Since I, Nate Jones, own this business, Wexford Insurance (wexfordins.com) I naturally recommend it.
-
An insurance agency has recurring revenue and can be operated virtually from anywhere.
-
People and businesses have to purchase insurance and you can make a lot of money if they buy it from you.
​
7. Staffing Agency for Specialty Positions
-
A staffing company makes money by getting paid a portion of the workers hourly pay by placing them in a position. They can also get paid a lump sum for recruiting and placing a worker as well.
-
If you have a talent for finding talent, you can make a lot of money
8. Wholesaling Niche Products
-
Other known as drop shipping. If you are in a niche and want to sell a needed product to that niche you can create a website or influence and get paid a portion of the purchase price when someone buys through you.
9. Back Office Support
-
A back office support company provides a service for a specific need that an industry struggles with successfully running in house. An example of this would be a call center, secretarial support, prospecting, mailing operations, executive trip planning, etc.
10. Customized Gifts
-
People make so much money on Etsy (etsy.com) selling customized gifts and products. Usually, these are hand crafted and semi-custom. Find a niche product and you will make money.
​
11. Selling a Product Under Your Label
-
Unlike drop shipping, in this business, we are selling a product under our branding, name, and marketing. Here we are partnering up with a manufacturer who will white label our product where we can control our brand. An example of this is protein powder, watches, coffee beans, etc. If you have a marketing talent, you can easily scale your brand.
​
12. Logistics and Dispatch in Transportation
-
The transportation industry is a $7.31 Trillion dollar industry with most of their employees working remotely! That is crazy. Start a transportation brokerage or dispatch company and get paid to safely and securely move freight across the world. ​
