What are you good at? Part 2

August 19, 2009

As you can see by the title, this post is Part 2.  So, if you haven’t yet read Part 1 you might want to do that now.  Just click here.

You’ll know that in Part 1 I listed some ideas to hopefully get you thinking about the endless opportunities that exist, if you’re thinking about working from home ideas.  There are so many more ideas I thought I’d list some or them, just in case your weren’t inspired by the first list.

Depending upon where you live, you may or may not be able to carry out certain lines of business, so be sure to check with your local authorities.  You may also need to consider insurances (more about this in later posts).

Some More Working From Home Ideas

Yoga and/or Pilate Instructor

Yoga poseAre you good at Yoga or Pilate?  Do you know how popular these two activities are?  It’s not just the celebrities that are flocking to yoga and pilate.  I’d bet money that you already know people in your circle of family and friends who are getting their mats out on a regular basis.  If you’re good at it and you have enough room at home, why not run some personal or group classes.  It would appear age is no barrier!

Photography Business

A neighbor of mine has a photography business where she visits local pre-schools and takes photographs of all the children.  Parents can then purchase the photographs.  What a great business idea.  If you have an interest in photography, then why not turn that interest into a business.

Subject Tutor

Don’t underestimate the number of children in schools who are tutored in almost every subject.  English and Maths seem to be very popular.  If you’re an ex-teacher, or just very good at a certain subject, then why not make yourself available as a tutor in your given subject.  You can choose the hours and students can come to you, or you go to them.  Their parents will love you for it.

Pet Minding

So you love animals and can’t get enough of them.  Then why not set yourself up as a professional pet minder.  This could be for a few hours, a day or even a week or more if the owners are planning a holiday.  Not really my cup of tea but, hey, everybody to their own – right?

Affiliate Marketing

I talk more about this in a previous post.  But, briefly, if you enjoy spending time on the computer/internet, why not consider becoming an affiliate marketer and make some money in the process.  Affiliate marketers promote other people’s products and services and earn money when they make a sale and/or provide a lead.  No shipping and no customer follow up.  That’s all done by the ‘other people’.  To find out more go to my Affiliate Marketing post, or click here for Affiliate Marketing e-book.

Selling On-line

Have you ever bought or sold anything on the eBay?  If you enjoyed the process, then why not start doing it as a business.  I’ll be writing a post about this very topic in due course, but in the meantime you may want to check out what a couple of very successful eBay sellers have to say.  Here’s the link.

That’s about all from me on this working from home ideas post.   Don’t forget to leave me some comments.
