  1. The best way to earn additional money is by working for yourself, not for an employer. If you can find and fill a need, you will be well on your way to success, however you define success. It's important to set your goals, to write them down, to make them realistic, and to watch over them. Success is a journey not a destination. Are you looking for hundreds or thousands or millions of dollars (pounds, pesos, rubles, etc)??? ... The only way to get what you want is to know what you want. There have been many home businesses that have turned to huge corporations. There have been many home businesses that have flopped. Which type are you planning???

    It is best to use your skills and interests to create a business that others either want or need because that is easier than trying to create a need. You might consider doing accounting or taxes for individuals or small business. What about selling items as a distributor for a manufacturer? Have you thought about running an online (or mail order) business selling toys or books or cosmetics or tools or your own t-shirt designs??? Concentrate on a target audience... young people, old people, the disabled, pet owners, students, single Moms, single Dads, or whoever and help solve their needs. It will be easier to get customers when you get referrals.

    Working from home is great but you've got to put forth effort and energy. You've got to believe in yourself and your products or services if you expect others to believe in them. Steer clear from what looks like an opportunity too good to be true... surveys, stuffing envelopes, rebate processing, etc. Maybe some are legitimate but seriously how much money do you think you will be paid for performing a job that a monkey can do???

    You have too much time and energy and talents to get wrapped up in scams. You have too much intelligence also.

    Get yourself a business plan (formal or not), business permits for your community/country, and be the next Coca Cola, Ebay, Lillian Vernon, Dell Computers, Microsoft and other businesses that started from home with nothing more than a great idea.

    Don't settle for a good job... go for a GREAT one!!!


  2. You have a p  u     s    s     y!!!   thats all you need...

  3. I realize you have a job, but do you want to keep working for someone else or be your own boss?

    I have my own business making money from home. I am in the USA but the business I have is also available in Australia and other countries.
