events, providing appetizers, main courses, desserts, and anything else you wish to offer. If you have a friend who enjoys cooking or baking this would be a good business to go into with a partner. And you can earn a good wage just by catering to a couple of events each month.

12. Tutoring - Tutors can potentially earn a very good hourly wage. If you have expertise in a particular subject, and especially if you have a degree and enjoy sharing your knowledge with others, you should try being a tutor. Often you will find that people you already know have a child that needs to be tutored, or they know of someone who is looking for a tutor. You can also put your name on tutoring lists at schools and local agencies that provide tutoring services. This is a great job that can take up as little as an hour or two of your time each week, and you can work with kids of all ages or adults in college.

13. Professional organizer - If you are good at organizing items in your home, you can get certified and become a professional organizer. In this type of home business people pay you to come into their home as a consultant and get it organized and uncluttered. As a professional organizer you could also host organizing parties where you introduce and take orders for new organizing products.

14. Avon/home interiors/tupperware/scrapbook - One of the most popular ways to make money in the past has been through selling products from companies like Avon, Home Interiors, or Tubberware. In these types of businesses, you generally have to be a people person and someone who is willing to go out and solicit your product and be willing to host parties to get new customers and sales. If you are not interested in the products offered by the companies I have listed, then you can search the internet for other companies to work with. For example, a few years ago, I got an invitation to a scrapbook party, where I had the opportunity to look at and order scrapbook supplies.

15. Workshops/Ecourses - If you have expertise in a particular field or you have a marketable skill, then you can make money from teaching others what you know. You can make money by creating and selling an ebook or ecourse. You can hold online workshops and webcasts. Or you can have workshops and conferences offline at a your local civic center, library, your home, or another venue.

As you can see, there is a wide range of opportunities out there for people who would like to start a home business. All it takes is one good idea, and some research and initial planning, and you can begin building your own home business and becoming financially independent.
