eBay Business<\/h2>\n
No matter what you\u2019re selling on eBay, Amazon or Etsy, if you\u2019re doing this from home you\u2019re probably sick of using your living room as a quasi order fulfillment center.<\/p>\n
With the right amenities, a self-storage unit could be used as a photo studio, a place to bunker down and rattle off a few dozen product listings and, most importantly, a place to store whatever it is you sell.<\/p>\n
Content Provider<\/h2>\n
What better place to seek solitude and tranquility and boost on those creative juices than in the bowels of a cavernous self-storage unit. If you\u2019re able to set up a laptop, run some electricity and arrange an internet connection, you\u2019ve got all the makings of a makeshift office space.
That\u2019s not to suggest that you work from some windowless, ductless bunker-like headquarters.
Actually, not all storage facilities are like this at all. Some more modern storage facilities are actually equipped with the infrastructure to make this a reality and even feature business centers, where renters have access to extra facilities like a multi-purpose room.<\/p>\n
Thrift Store or \u201cDollar Store\u201d<\/h2>\n
If the facility allows such activity, opening the door to your store regularly could just be a matter of popping the lock and sliding open the doors to your new second hand shop.
Set up some retail shelving inside the storage unit, fill those shelves with your products and set up a register at the entrance.<\/p>\n
Vintage Furniture Sales<\/h2>\n
A wet, leaky basement is no place to store your your mid-century modern living room set especially if you intend on selling it.<\/p>\n
Storing furniture \u2014especially in the hopes of someday showcasing it for sale \u2014 requires a larger space like a warehouse floor. If you\u2019re growing slowly, keeping a few select pieces in storage and listing them for sale locally could be the most practical path to operating a sustainable vintage furniture business and maybe even growing it into your own furniture warehouse store someday.<\/p>\n
Video Producer<\/h2>\n
A storage unit that\u2019s adequately constructed could be turned into a makeshift video studio. Many units are large enough to allow space for shooting videos and even a desk for a laptop or other computer to do some editing of the final product.<\/p>\n
Just be sure to have a good sound engineer on standby. The confines of a storage unit are sure to present some challenges for audio.
Auto Mechanic<\/p>\n
Most storage facilities will take a dim view of you bringing in broken down cars at all hours of the day and night as if you\u2019re running a full service body shop \u2014 leaking vehicle fluids all over the storage area.<\/p>\n
But if your work is dedicated to one aspect of auto mechanics \u2014 say, engine rebuilding \u2014 then a storage unit could provide plenty of space for a growing company. These places will allow you to inexpensively store your valuable parts and give you the space to work on projects.
Photo Studio<\/p>\n
Just as a storage unit can be the ideal setting \u2014 with some adjustments \u2014 for a video production and editing area, the space is equally ideal for a photo studio, too \u2026 perhaps even more so.<\/p>\n
Proper backdrops and lighting are key to good photos and with those in place, it\u2019ll be impossible to tell your shots were taken inside a storage locker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Perhaps it\u2019s the opposite and running your small business from home has taken over the whole house, with paperwork on the sofa, products strewn on the floor and marketing materials lying on every ope surface. In any case, it may be time to step things up with a more professional location \u2014 like an office […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-265","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/golocalclassified.com\/article\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/golocalclassified.com\/article\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/golocalclassified.com\/article\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/golocalclassified.com\/article\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/golocalclassified.com\/article\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=265"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/golocalclassified.com\/article\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/golocalclassified.com\/article\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=265"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/golocalclassified.com\/article\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=265"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/golocalclassified.com\/article\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=265"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
