As promised, I’m presenting some legitimate home based business work ideas today. A very common area where you can make your own schedule, work from home and go at your own pace is by selling a service.   

Upfront, this may seem trivial, to provide to others a service you do well, but the potential for a great business is huge. To start off, I’m talking small scale-from your home office or something compatible. It will take time to work up to the level of someone like Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks-also a self proclaimed entrepreneur.   

A great example would be someone like Shelly Hart of Go Girl, who provides products and packaging to women on the go.  Also consider a child party planning business, a copywriter or a medical biller.  Some services require more financial investment than others, but it’s primarily on your end, where you would be purchasing home office equipment (if you don’t already own particular equipment) marketing materials or supplies.   

Keep in mind that these are just a few ideas. Do a self-inventory first to determine where your skills lie, what you enjoy and what needs exist in the market. If you have more ideas, send them to me as well. And if you’re interested in sharing your work from home success story please send it my way, you could be featured here.
