16. Energy efficiency consultancy – Help people save energy and thereby saving money and the environment also.
17. Expense Reduction services – Help businesses and individual save money by looking at their day to day expenses and offering advice on where and how to save money.

21. Pregnancy Fitness Center – Pregnant women need to stay fit and this is a niche market that can be captured.
Everything Social Media

23. Online Reputation Management – While it is easy to gain popularity using social media, it is also a cumbersome task to manage business or individual reputation online.  Start offering online reputation management service that will help people track their reputation and suggest and implement corrective actions whenever required.
Everything Creative
Creativity can turn trash into gold.  If you have a creative side, you can easily start a small business right from the comfort of your home and with easily and economically available items.
24. Personalized Children’s Books – Kids love to read stories and what can be better than the stories featuring their names.  This is a hot market with parents being equally interested in reading out stories for their children in which their own kids are the main characters.
25. Stock Photography – If you have the love for lens, you can turn it into a profitable small business.  Stock photography is a growing market and with various options to display and sell your work online, it is really easy to start as well.
Everything Small Business
If small businesses are to grow in 2011, they will also need lots of services.  This opens up several opportunities for small businesses that can offer services to their counterparts.  With small businesses focusing on reducing their operational costs as much as possible, anyone offering quality services with lowest possible prices is guaranteed to be successful.  Some of the services that small businesses need are:
26. Incorporation – Assist small businesses in the incorporation process by taking care of the paperwork and handling other legal issues.
27. Web Development – Create websites for small businesses that help them showcase and sell their products and services online.
28. Copywriting – Writing a persuasive sales letter that generates sales is an art and if you have that why not start offering copywriting services to people looking to sell online.  If you have the right skills, you can even offer writing a search engine optimized copy.
29. Accounting & Taxation – It is important to maintain financial records for any business but small businesses often fail to do so because of the lack of knowledge and skills.  Offer outsourced accounting services to small businesses and, if possible, include tax filing and other related services also.
30. SEO & PPC Management – Search Engine Optimization and Pay-Per-Click Marketing are still jargons for lots of small business owners.  Help them benefit by using these economical marketing methods by offering SEO and PPC marketing services.
