working from home ideas

[honeytwenty]

Hi all,

I really need some advice, i have a 5 month old baby, so i really want some ideas for working from home. I have a business degree and some experiencein retail, education. I have considered selling items which people need? blogging on baby stuff, and product review site, as i have recently tried out alot of items. just really need some genuine advice, have been looking for help for a long time now. Thank you in advanced

I don't think it'll be easy to make money from blogging on baby stuff or product reviews... Sorry. I think it'll be very difficult. With the former, you will need lots of traffic before you could consider generating revenue by way of advertising. With the latter, you could write consumer reviews for review websites, but they pay a pittance - actually, not even sure if these are still around.

How many hours per week will you have? Can you invest any money?

Can you work in the evenings instead?

I can't work in the evenings unfortunately, but im coming to the conclusion that I want to work from home long term, just want something Im good at or want to do and follow it up. Once in found it, than I want to stick at it. Just need some genuine advice, as you go on some forums where people refer you to there sites.

Virtual "PA" for mums-to-be-with-too-much-money-and-not-enough-time ? Tell them what they need to buy and where they need to buy it from. Do the legwork for them. Portland vs. "other privates" - "this" nanny agency vs. "other" nanny agency. Compile a John Lewis "wish list" for them. Arrange deliveries.

You only need to look at the Pregnancy section here to see how clueless first timers are with respect to what you need and where from.

Can I suggest this lady:

www.free-range-humans.com

She offers courses on creating your ideal career based on your lifestyle. She is pretty awesome (No, I'm not her!! Nor do I work for her!), but I found her emails and free audios really helpful when I started freelancing, and she also offers a great 21 day course to get you on the path to creating your ideal career!

In terms of blogging, you can earn money from doing it, but it's never going to be something that happens overnight. Start blogging and after a while you'll see that you start to come up with a specific area that you a) like blogging about and b) realise that a lot of other people are interested in. At that point, you can start creating simple things like e-books or audios or courses or (if it's more tangible) actual objects and sell them on there. You can earn a decent (maybe not millions or hundreds of thousands) but enough to warrant paying tax on!! Don't think you can start a blog and earn money from the adverts, it won't happen!! You have to use your blog to sell things.

Hope that helps!
