Could You Be A Home – Based Photographer?

Do you love, love, love babies? Do you have a knack for taking beautiful pictures? If so, you could combine your love of babies and photography by starting a home – based photography business which specializes in baby pictures.

Do You Need An Etsy Shop?

It has been a while since I gave myself permission to go and browse (okay, ogle is more like it) the bevy of beautiful things that people are making and selling on Etsy.com. I love Etsy, but I could sit there looking at the things on there all night long and not get any work done, so I have to keep myself in check and only look at the site once in a while. The very best thing about Etsy is the reason that there are so many beautiful things available for purchase on the site is that there are … Continue reading →

Procrastinators, Read This Later

Some of us procrastinate some of the time, and some of us procrastinate much of the time. I have not met many people who never ever procrastinate, but I suppose that they may exist somewhere. Sometimes there is a reason behind why we drag our feet, such as not liking the task that you are supposed to do. Sometimes, though, procrastination happens for no reason at all. For example, you suddenly find yourself doing something instead of what you know you should be doing yet you cannot come up with any reason why. The other day I realized that I … Continue reading →

Love Coffee? Start a Coffee Roasting Business!

If you love coffee and you want to work from home, you may be thinking that you will combine your love of coffee with working from home by taking frequent coffee breaks and savoring the delicious java that you brew at home in your very own mug in your very favorite place in the house, wherever that might be. That sounds nice, but if you really, really, really love coffee you can integrate it into your home – based professional life instead of taking a break to hang out with it every now and then. That’s right, you can get … Continue reading →

Go Ahead, Let Your Multiple Talents Shine

As you may know by now, I have decided to focus my efforts solely on one of the two home- based businesses that I have owned and operated for the past three years. Even though I am operating one business now instead of two, I feel as though it is important to make sure that I do not put all of my eggs into one basket. Now, more than ever, I am focusing on providing a variety of freelance writing services to a fairly diverse set of clients. I firmly believe that having multiple talents, or talents which can translate … Continue reading →

Home Based Work for the Administrative Professional

If you are an administrative professional, you may wonder whether your skills could enable you to work from home.

If working at home is where your heart is, do not despair. Your skills are a valuable resource that you can use to create a new opportunity for yourself – as a virtual assistant. Virtual assistants manage phone and email communications, do billing, handle customer service, and more, all from the comfort of their … Continue reading →

Home Based Work and the Freedom it Brings

It’s that time of year again, time for us to celebrate the incredible amount of freedom that is available to so many of us as far as when and where we do our work. Whether you have been working from home for years, you just started working from home, or you are still in the “thinking about it” phase, right now is a great time to think about the freedom that working from home brings (or could bring) to your life. This year, it is worth mentioning that I just gained an even greater amount of freedom through my home … Continue reading →

Making Money from Vending Machines

Think about how much cash you’ve deposited in vending machines over the years? Isn’t it about time you started making money from these machines instead of allowing them to suck your wallet dry? Running a vending machine business is a great way to pad your budget.  What’s more, you can run the bulk of the operations from your home, set your own hours, and turn a profit without a ton of advertising and manual labor. If you decide to give the business idea a try, consider the type of machines you want to own.  Find a reliable manufacturer who can … Continue reading →

Make Money from Mom’s Taxi

Just when you thought you couldn’t wear another hat, your kid decides to join the school’s soccer team and now you are spending yet another afternoon carting him to and from practice, in addition to driving him to piano lessons, Scouts, and karate. Mom’s taxi is constantly on the move, so why not make money from your driving skills? While it’s not a traditional home business, running an independent taxi service is not a far-fetched idea for an ambitious mom; especially one who practically lives in her vehicle. If you are worried about the type of people you’d be driving … Continue reading →
