It's hard for him to find work right now (construction) and I hate being away from him all day in my boring job (admin. assist.) We've always wanted to find something to do together from home (mainly) and now we are considering it realistically. What would you recommend we do? Do you know someone with a home-run business? We're not sure what line we want to get into. He has a towing license so we're thinking of doing that but we don't have a wrecker.

  1. I appreciate your question.  It is difficult to find your niche when it comes to home based businesses.  I floundered for awhile until I found something that I have a passion for.  I am a pure romance consultant which works very well for me due to my interests.  Although my husband isn't officially a consultant he does much of the work behind the scenes to keep me organized as well as marketing.  I am the face of the coop, however it is truly a joint effort.  The two of you probably just need to have a good hear to to heart conversation about what you are both geniunely interested in and try to find something that matches those interests. Strangely enough I actually feel guilty going to "work" sometimes, because I have so much fun that it just doesn't feel like a job.

    Good luck in your search.  I wish you the best!

  2. My recommendation will be to do something from home!  How ever you need to educate yourself a bit first because their are a lot of scams out there and a lot of people spend their hard earned money thinking that they are starting a profitable business from home while they are actually just loosing it all.  I help people for free ( nothing to sell you) to learn what to watch out for and what to look for in a company before they join and spend money.  If you would like to have some more information please feel free to down load my free ebook at www.key-to-success.info and I will set you up with all the free training calls so that you can learn and find something that will work for you!

    Wishing you a life that most people only dream of!

  3. Hello,

    Have you thought about starting a business on-line or do you want a real office-store front business from home? If your thinking of an online business, there is a great program called SBI that has helped me build my business. What are your talents, hobbies, or interests? Would you like to build a business around something like that?

    If you would like more information about SBI, you can contact me through my profile or at the address below. Good Luck! I hope you find something that works for you!

  7. Learn Internet Marketing, as many people are making a great income from home using a PC. Affiliate marketing has worked excellent for me, with very low to none, start up costs.

  8. The towing business requires high start-up capital and has a great liability risk hanging over your heads, not to mention the hours are 24/7. I have owned and operated my own homebased companies for 35 years and was able to retire due to their success. My time is now devoted to my wife, our 5 children and helping as many people that I can start their own homebased business. I am always available to answer your questions and to help in anyway I can.

  11. What do you both do for fun when you are together?

    That is your answer.  Find a way to turn your fun time, or your passions into a business.  Think outside of the box and come up with some creative ideas.  When you do something you enjoy - you will never "work" another day in your life.

    Please stay away from businesses that you buy into.  (Like Avon, Herbalife, etc, etc, etc.)  Those are very hard to make work, and you spend so much money on advertising and marketing.  It is NOT worth your time!

    Email me if you want some specific advice or ideas you can do.  erinjoijoi@gmail.com.  I LOVE doing this!

  12. I am an Independent Business owner with a health benefits company. I have all the freedom of working for myself (around kids schedules, family illnesses, etc...) but I have the best team support I have ever had. The other opportunites I had tried in the past never worked for me. I am not a salesperson- I can't push a product with a handcart! :) and the team support...well, was there a team?

    Our team all help each other. We have leaders (including myself) who conduct trainings by telephone. We don't get paid in the traditional sense for training people, but the results are that our team is producing many 6 figure income earners! We have the fastest growing team with the company.

    They are having a promotion in the month of July- Only $20.00 to start a home business. You get 3 e-commerce websites to use in marketing, daily pay, residual pay, dental, vision, prescription and chiropractic for your entire household. Your brokers kit includes DVD's CD's, brochures, etc...as well as (2) $25.00 sales aides certificates to buy additional supplies.

    The best part is, it is yours! You own it, you work it when you want, go take a vacation when you want- your check will still be in the mail.

    And... it involves healthcare, something that is on everyone's mind, and needed by so many! To check out this great opportunity, go to: www.freedomathometeam.com/sperry

  13. Affiliate marketing would be an option. Here's a link to an informative post on the basics

  14. I know several couples who have their own home based businesses, and some of them are even in the same type of business as myself.

    I am assuming you are based in the US and although I am in the UK some of these people that I know are also in your country, in fact they have created very substantial incomes for themselves, and have a business that is actually likely to grow faster as the economic slowdown increases.

    If you would like to find out more, email me and I can then send you some web sites to look at.

  16. Hey,

    Just wanted you to check out a website that helped me alot. You can use their services (which promotes wealth building, credit building, and debt management, identity theft protection, and other services) and/or become a rep and earn money by just referring people. I am a 20 year old single mom about to be on maternity leave and I needed extra income. I FINALLY listened to my mom and checked it out. I referred 3 single moms that I knew and we all recieve residual bonus checks every month. Their is NO SELLING unrealistic products or anything hard. You just show people, friends, family the website and they sign up. Theres a minimal cost to be a member and/or rep and you also recieve the perks of the services. My credit score went up 89 points (and going) AND i make anywhere between 400-750 a month. I just refer people like you looking to make extra income or in a bad financial situation. I look forward to buying my first house for me and my little one next year. She deserves it.

  17. If you live in the Georgia or Texas area or know others that do . My family is involved with a great company. No selling. It has been a blessing to my family and can be yours too. If I can show you how realistically you could earn $6000.00 residual income a month within the next 6 months to a year if you work the business right, would you be interested in hearing more? We help people save money on something they have to have and use everyday. It is recession proof because people need it and will use it daily and pay the bill no matter if they have money for anything else. Electricity and natural gas. If you are interested give me a call 770-720-5041 or email me at dlstiles123@yahoo.com also look at the link below for more info. The cost to get started is minimal only $299.00 in the month of July and I can show you how you can earn $200.00 of that back in the first 2 days.
