He suggests these 10 steps:\n\n1. List 5 things you do best\n2. List how others would benefit from what you do best\n3. Find out how to give people what they want\n4. Learn the value of your services to others\n5. Find out who else offers similar services\n6. Learn from the successes of others\n7. Learn from the failures of others\n8. Plan your own success\n9. Make low cost mistakes\n10. Enjoy what you do and how you do it\n\nHe then made suggestions on the best home businesses according to type. Here are a few of them:\n\nBest Businesses Using Craft or Physical Skills\n- antique restoration\n- auto detail service\n- carpet cleaning business\n- errand/delivery service\n- housecleaning business\n\nBest Service Businesses \n- bed and breakfast operator\n- caregiver\n- catering service\n- senior day care center\n- tutoring service\n\nBest Professional Businesses\n- desktop publisher\n- magazine writer\n- import/export service\n- income tax preparation service\n- event planner\n\nSome other home business ideas:\n\nTop 10 Home Businesses with Rapid Break-Even Time http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol33/breakeven.htm\n10 Profitable “Go-Out" Home Businesses http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol31/goout.htm\nLow Cost Startup Businesses http://www.entrepreneur.com/lowcostbusinesses/0,6617,,00.html\n\nYou can also check out the following books:\n\nTurn Your Talents into Profits: 100+ Terrific Ideas for Starting Your Own Home-Based Microbusiness \n The Best Home Businesses for the 21st Century \n 121 Internet Businesses You Can Start from Home \n The Best Internet Businesses You Can Start \n 101 Ways to Make Money at Home

If you like doing Data Entry at home, and have the computer/software to do it, you might find plenty of work if you live in or close to a good sized city.  After I suffered a work injury, I was not able to return to work, and so on... At any rate, I did find several companies that were looking for Data Entry personel (they had been getting them from the temp agencies, as a neighbor was one). So I started calling these companies, went in and spoke to hiring managers, and eventually got several jobs working as an independent contractor for printing companies, and then for a couple of medical billing companies. I eventually "sold" my business to my neighbor, and she is now a very happy and sucessful business owner. There is so many opportunities out there that are not a scam. And you can create most of them yourself. Try it, and good luck.

First of all your office has to allow this. One company I worked for allowed employees to connect from home and we used a software interface called Citrix. \n\nIf your office does allow this your IT dept. will be able to help you.

Sorry, there's no way to check My Answers from home.  You have to login to Novell to do that and you can only do that from a Radioshack terminal.  They were looking into allowing that from home but eventually decided it wasn't worth the risk for a hacker to come in and get social security numbers, paycheck amounts, checking account numbers, etc.

Yea if you market yourself right there is always someone in the need for computer repair. Also consider building your own machines and selling them.

I would strongly suggest you not work from the home-business model until you have experience first, as the experience and ability to interact and learn will benefit you tremendously.\n\nMany of the home-based business models of medical billing can be costly or not provide you with much income.  You may have to bid on jobs, and not may providers will accept your bid without experience.  It may be up to you to market and sell your business.\n\nYour work will consist of getting materials, reading the materials, and then filling that data into UB-92's or HCFA 1500's.  You will be evaluated on your accuracy.  With some companies, you will not be compensated unless you have 100% accuracy.\n\nThere will be a lot of variables to the home-based business model.  Try working in an office to make sure you'd like it before you try doing it out of the home.\n\nGood Luck!

Think about a booth in a local flea market, or swap meet.  I have seen guys who have set up a little retail business selling new, custom built computers.  The overhead is cheap. Also, you could keep your inventory in your car and sell to your techno geek friends at coffee houses, etc.  I know a guy who literally had a "satchel full of blues," Cd's that he had left over after his music store failed.  He would sell them to his friends at restaurants and coffee houses.

If you're looking for free data entry home business, you might find several - but whether they are GENUINE is another thing altogether. Remember the old adage: if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. That is why there are a lot of scams on the internet, because there are a lot of suckers who wants to get rich quick.

You could venture into the home-based business field...you know, PrePaid Legal, Avon, etc.  Or honestly, Ebay is awesome.  My stepdad gets broken computers and fixes them.  He makes a pretty penny doing that.  Or, you could go to yard sales or thirft shops and find things worth MUCH more than the asking price.  Sell them on Ebay.  Or you could buy and sell houses.  I saw an infomercial on TV the other day for something like that.  Really, there are a MILLION and one things you could do.  If I wasn't too helpful, try googling for "home-based business" or "work at home".  You may pull up some things I haven't thought of.  Good luck to you!

If you enjoy typing and would like to make $25-$35 an hour,\n you might have thought about becoming a medical\n transcriptionist.\n\n Medical transcription is the typing of medical notes that\n have been dictated by a doctor, nurse or other health care\n professional.\n\n Michele Miller has been working at home in her own\n successful medical transcription business since 1994.\n Through the years, other people frequently ask her how to\n get started in a medical transcription business of their\n own. That's when she decided to write everything you need\n to know in an e-book. For only $49.97, you get the 111-page\n e-book, but that's not all…\n\n For no extra charge, you will have 24/7 access to\n Michele's expertise via e-mail. You can ask all your\n questions about starting a medical transcription business!\n\n If this interests you, we recommend you read more about\n The Step-By-Step Guide To Medical Transcription At Home by\n Michele Miller right now while the e-mail consultations are\n still available and the price is so low. \n\nhttp://medical-transcription.notlong.com

I agree with pea. cole. a "trade" will be the best thing to learn. like you said Computers are what everyone will be needing. You should look into studying nano technology that will get you some serious money or you could try cures for diseases.

I would expect data entry and archiving.  You will probably use the computer a lot and/or file away records that come in.

I wanted to share with you a referral I received when I asked the question \nANY web based or ANY other WORK AT HOME employement opportunities that don't require out of pocket expense?\n\nemkaymk (Yahoo!Answers user) replied back the following which I now pass on to you:\n\nhttp://www.workathomeagent.com/......\nthe only things you need are a computer, a phone line (regular, not cell), and high speed internet separate from your phone line\nit involves taking phone calls for such big name companies as Office Depot and HSN.\nI made about $1500 in about 2 months last year. \n\nRemember, thank EMKAYMK NOT me...I had my interview today and I'm going to start the certification process!!!!
