When you decide to start a legitimate home based business naturally you want it to be profitable and also flexible. You need the flexibility for a few reasons. A home business should not be drudgery like a job; so that you can have ‘wiggle room’ to allow you to live in an atmosphere of relaxed freedom; and you will also be more available to your family rain or shine.
There are a few ‘niches’ you can choose to work from home and it might as well be something you are interested in, or has some other attraction, since it is your choice. You can sell products for companies online and produce a profit right from your home. The products can be ordered online with you receiving a percentage of the proceeds just for inexpensive advertising; or you can be responsible for shipping the ordered product to the recipient if you want to be totally independent (and keep the change).
Childcare is another legitimate home based business. This business can be conducted from your home. It is actually quite efficient if you have your own children – why not add a few more that pay? There may be required safety inspection and other legal matters to implement first. Your business can serve two purposes. One is to provide childcare for those who need it. The other purpose is to provide income to a home based business like yours.
Do you like to cook? Another legitimate home business that can thrive in today’s world is a catering business. Providing home cooked meals to working people can be very nice as you can choose how many meals you can handle in a day. Do as much as you can, no more no less if possible. The profits can be pretty good and they are saying in some towns it is actually cheaper to have a catered meal than to shop at the supermarket. (Not to mention all the work). This can be such a good thing for the family receiving the meals as they have more time to spend with each other and less stress.
A cleaning service can be profitable and it is one of the easiest services to sell. Just mention ‘I clean houses’ in a conversation and you will have people begging for either one-time archeological digs or weekly maintenance. Again this service is such a help to the busy professional, freeing up their time and creating an atmosphere of well-being.
Another service you can offer either alone or in tandem with one of the others is a laundry service. The laundry can be dropped off at your home, processed and picked up when the person gets off from work. This is another time saving necessity that is performed by the home worker for the busy professional who does not have the time to complete it. Improve your life with the extra money you will earn at the same time as helping someone else.
