I don't know how are things in Canada. But when the bad times come, here in Colombia we sell Empanadas! (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empanada https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empanada) (A proverb say: What is the thing that sell most? A empanada!) I need to self-fund my own startup, and I have not access to angel investors. So I start selling BBQ related things in the streets. I do this only in the weekends, in the night, right now. In a strike of luck, I get some very good freelance work just after the 1 week, but I still doing because a)I like it b)It could pay the rent! c)Reduce the stress! This is a tactic that (here) work well. Sell food is fairly easy if you are smart about it. Requiere very low capital, not much talent, and some kind of foods bring more than 50-70% in earnings, after all the costs. Things like sell fruits (salad fruits) juices, tacos, empanadas, pizza, maicitos, mangos with salt, etc. This suckers are EASY and profit well! The only catch? Location. This is the hard thing. Other things to try: - Fix computers - Teach about computers - Provide IT services to local stores - Exploit any talent you have and look if is possible to monetize in the very short term. - Become a "Cafe internet" - Become a "Play videogames here" Both also are similar to "Sell empanadas" emergency business popular here. I don't know if is possible in Canada. Start a home business have zero real problems with the law if is low-level in my country so is easy to have a escape plan.
