working at home

Hello, Does anyone have a business that they do from home ? This year we sold rabbits. We made around 800 dallars extra this year. I just started selling WATKINS PRODUCTS. I think i will enjoy this because I can sell this over the computer.

Hi Kelly! I do income taxes from my home, and Cale sometimes builds furniture to sell. I like not having to leave home in the winter months. I don't like to drive in the snow!!

My husband just got through building a lovely 16X16 buidling from 100 year old barnboards on the proerty and we are trying to sell antique reproduction furniture which he makes as well as tons of birdhouses. He makes the houses and I paint them. Because I have blurred vision all the time, instead of bemoaning that I can't paint like I used to, I switched to an impressionistic style LOL LOL..when we sold at the flea market this Summer, those birdhouses went so fast we had trouble making enough..the "shop" has ben open nearly three weeks and no comers yet, but I know as the word gets around it should do well.

I find all sorts of things to do, and I have so many more ideas that I will never use!! I baby-sit a friends little boy (my son's age) a few days a week, I sell on eBay, I wrap gifts for a company near here for their board members (just a once a year thing). I also buy great kids cloths during the year at bag sales and yard sales and any incredible clearence prices, then sell them at a semi-annual kids clothes consignment sale. My latest money making oppourtunity isn't really a "work at home" thing, but I was volunteering at a thrift shop (to get first dibs on the good condition stuff) and after my second time there, they offered to pay me!! They wanted someone to manage the shop two Saturdays a month so the Manager could take a break. What a break for me!! I have found that everyone has something they could do from home if they just put a little thought into it. Some ideas may take a little more planning than others, but, you just have to follow your passion!

I have just started this making money from home thing.I did work from my home in town, it is a whole nother game in the country.I am so pleased to say everything has gone great.I have hatched out about 200 baby chicks and can't seem to keep any!!Baby rabbits are all sold as well as the next batch!We sell eggs,pecans and walnuts now.I have just started selling on Ebay and it's going great!I made up about 20 baskets for a craft show last weekend and they all sold.Everyone wants to buy a nice,homemade gift ready to give.I also have a small daycare in my home.It does seem like I am always busy, but it is worth it.I am also taking orders on pies for Thanksgiving and Christmas.This is a BIG money maker.I do charge reasonable prices, but you wouldn't believe what some people will pay not to have to do it themselves!-God Bless-Micheale

Hello Kelly, We sell eggs, produce, and walnuts. Meli makes lye soap and sells it on Ebay. I make crafts and doll furniture and sell that on Ebay. too. We also go to yard sales and find things to resell either at our own yardsales or on Ebay. Sincerely, Ernest
