5 successful Home Based ideas


Hey Guys,

Just thought I put in my cents worth of the subject to earn additional income.

Home based business had been proven successful for decades now. If you do have any ideas not listed here, do list them down as well

(1) EVENT PLANNING- You should plan first if you decide to do niche like - coporate parties, seminars/conferences, road shows, weddings. Event Planners need to constant research on places, prices, databases etc...

(2) FINANCIAL PLANNER-I think its a great way to assist people in planning for their finances as well as earning money.

(3) UPHOLSTERING- If you have a knack for sewing, upholstery repair might be a perfect business for you. Have a list available of furniture repair people you can recommend to your customers

(4) USED BOOK SALES- Almost everyone (myself included) has a few boxes of books stashed away either in their houses and offices. Offer to remove the unwanted books from them and go through them. Star an E-bay account and sell them. (I know someone who is doing this as a full time employment)

(5) PHOTOGRAPHER- There are niches you can explore for photography: portraits of people and their pets, families, and homes; photographs of holiday events, birthday parties or Christmas cards; the possibilities are endless

Hey, if you have any other great home based business ideas, why not just share it with us

To your success


There is an opportunity that allows you to work with a fortune 500 manufacturer and set up consumer accounts for them. Incredible from home opportunity and is residual income!!! It is a real business with a real business plan.

I bake cakes for the occasional birthday party. I charge less than a wal-mart would and have a lot of fun doing it also :)

I also bake pies and sell them to local diners-if you make a mean chocolate pie with pretty merangue why not share? I get $8-10 per pie and they sell by the piece in the stores for $2.99/slice and get 8 slices.

Talk to local bus. about selling premade breakfast items. My brother used to work construction and my sil got the foreman's premission to bring sausage and biscuts and breakfast burritos out to the work site and sell them. She started out small (5 biscuts, 10 burritos) and ended up making 30-40 of each daily and taking them to several sites. She was making about $475 a week doing this.

Tutor college students. I am a full time student and very anal about my grades. I have had luck tutoring other students for small fees or bartering for services (I traded for a biology book that cost $280 new in exchange for helping someone study for finals-they needed an A to pass the class and it happened!)

i donate alot to the salvation army. it makes me feel better that i can write it off on my taxes plus im doing a good deed by donating to the community. I also do alot of shopping there. the goodwills, and salvation army are a great asset to our community and i love being able to contribute to it. 6 years ago my moms house burnt down and her husband was killed. she lost everything except for the clothes on her back, and something as small as the salvation army bringing her bags of clothes in her size made a huge difference. Her checking was frozen for 3 months scince her husband was killed so she didnt even have access to her own money during that time. So i decided from that moment on i would support them completely.

Usually these businesses have a domain names you can look up on whois.net, see how long it???s been registered. Another way to recognize a valid home business is by the ads the company offers. They usually don???t make promises of making a lot of money within your first week or month and work less hours. They will tell you it takes maybe two to three years to actually get to that level where you can work three to four hours a week. Depending on how much time you???re willing to put in the first couple of years. Ask if there???s a physical address for the company you???re looking into and lastly read reviews online about the company usually marketing sites like digitalpoint.com or warriorforum.com.


Having a home business requires you to be productive and be able to manage your time properly. If you???re not producing on a daily basis, you won???t be in business for long. You can easily get distracted when working at home. There???s one simple method you can implement each day that will help you to be organized and that is, make a to do list for each day the night before and follow through with it the next day. You want to be organized and discipline or else you won???t be able to get anything done. You have to realize you are your own boss, you have no one to hold accountable except your self. Don???t spend too much time on one thing because you want to be constructive with your time. These are some of the steps I usually take after I eat my breakfast: a) I spend couple of hours with advertisement/marketing b) Couple of more hours with follow-up emails/phone calls with my potential customers or existing customers. C) Executing my to do list. Sometimes this will take several hours. So the idea here is to be organize and fruitful with your time.
