If you can make it work, eBay.com is a great place to start. I sell clothes (and other things) that my children have outgrown.

You could try a washing and ironing service.

1) Have a daycare for children ages 2 months to 3 years.
2) writing books or business proposals relying on telephone calls
3 Have a shop where it is permisable close to the house.
4 Connecting people based on a network if you have any.

A great business to do is become an in-home party consultant. There are many around. Some of the more popular ones are: Party Lite, Mary Kay and Tupperware. I did it for a while and I made some good money and it was easy! You have to have the personality to sell. If you are out-going you could do well.

I have a business I do from home using the Internet. You can see my site at http://www.writershelper.com/index.html.

I have a service business and the Web site primarily advertises my business, although it earns money in its own right as well. Some of the links on my site earn me money when people click on them.

My next step will be to create two other sites that simply earn money without my having to provide a service. A site like that, an information site, is created by an infopreneur.

All of this is quite possible without knowing html or being a designer or having any other specialized technical knowledge.

I have done what I've done with the tools I got from the Web site below. That site has several high quality free e-books (and a few others that you have to pay for).

Best wishes as you pursue your goals.

babysit. You will get a great tax deduction and things that you buy for you kids will get wrote-off at the end of the year (outside toys , swing-set,trampoline etc)plus you get to take of the exp of your home. Unless you watch a bunch of kids it usually comes out as a loss on your taxes at the end of the yr. Even though you made money. Good luck to you. What ever you do I hope you have fun at it!

It's called a home based job. Drop me a line if you want to work for me.
