Do you have the necessary equipment?
Do you have the necessary experience?
Do you have a client base?
Do you have a plan b in the event you are unable to do the work yourself (as in assistants)?
Do you have the capital to purchase the equipment?

Create a business plan for yourself. It may be a bit tedious, but you always need a plan. Make sure you have the proper local and federal registrations. You can start tomorrow! Just make sure you report your earnings the appropriate way and you're good. Invest in a phone book ad. I've called a lot of lawn people that were so busy they wouldn't even call me back, since you are just starting you have to have great customer service. Return calls, be prompt, and you can easily keep repeat customers.

You need to start by writing a business plan even if you don't plan to seek financing. This will help establish a road map and answer a lot of your questions.

You can create your own websites or blogs @ blogger.com and put up your products' photos and services if you have any. If you can create websites or blogs and can type, you can make online money online easily. You may make money by publishing Google Adsense on your websites. If you have a website or a web-blog, you could make money by publishing advertisements on your site (by google). If someone clicks on those ads, you will earn money. If you don't have a website, you may start creating web-blogs like blogger.com (mostly free) with advertisements (google ads) on it. Some free websites don't allow you to publish google adsense because they are doing it themself.
For more information about google ads and to create your own free web-blogs, visit following site
