The idea of having my own business has always intrigued me, and I’ve had several home businesses over the years, in some shape or form. A very LONG time ago, I got talked into doing one of those home party shows - I was actually somewhat successful and it, but I felt it was a lot of work for the amount of money I was making off each “party”. After that, I started a website for moms, which I ended up running for 4 years. Now that was something I could sink my teeth into - being in control, and selling advertising, and creating content…right up my alley! It was something I loved, but after 4 years, I got burned out and needed to move on, so I sold the site. I guess in a way, blogging is a home business. I’m doing it from home and making money, so that qualifies, right?

Have you ever thought about running your own business from home? I have friends who do home daycare, another who is thinking of opening a recording studio in her home, and yet another who sells jewelry. If you want to be your own boss, but you need a bit of inspiration, check out this site listing home based business opportunities. If you don’t like the 4 listed on that page, click to the main page of BusinessOpportunity.com and check out the big picture. You’ll find information on vending machine franchises to things you can do exclusively online, as well as 100’s of other ideas and opportunities. Already own your own home business, but want to let others know about it? You can buy a listing on the site and spread the world!

I worked from home for 1 year exactly until I got into my new office. Working from home = living at work :)

so how profitable are your sites then?.. I mean do you have any plans to share what you earn from ad blogging ;)

I used to have a home business but I had to shut it down. Since when did prostitution get outlawed?

I work at home as a freelance writer. Between my fiance and I we have 5 kids and daycare is outrageous here, so it’s easier for me to work at home. Now when all of the kids are in school, who knows! BUt right now, I love my job (writing is my life).
