When internet first rolled out on the scene, people began thinking about ways in which to make it more profitable for the common man. Shortly there after, people began to work from home online. A few tried and true methods that people began with were selling items on various websites, stocks, and blogging.
There are several sites out there that you can sell not only your things, but buying and reselling other’s things. Ebay.com is the biggest, most popular site for selling things, with craigslist.com trying to catch up. Want to get rid of that old ironing board, but not sure where to put it? Want to sell all of your family’s old memorabilia? Trying to get rid of that old storage while making the ever popular dollar on the side? Ebay is the worlds biggest garage sale site, and even then, there are methods to making money from it. What about the starving artist who try and try to make a name for themselves? http://www.etsy.com/ has you covered for all crafts, hand made everything from jewelry to woodworking. This site is primarily for crafters, and their projects. For the artists out there, http://www.deviantart.com/ gives art a home on the net, with paintings, photography, creative writers, and other modalities for artistic expression, joining is always free, and you will find a wonderful community of artists.
If you aren’t artistically inclined, and would like to find another way to work from home online, try your hand at online stocks and trading. Money and statistics have always been above my level of expertise, but the websites out there, like www.etrade.com, and www.tdameritrade.com, make it easier for the everyday Joe to learn, and actually make it fun to persue that methodology for making money.
Finally, something that is near and dear to my heart, you can make money blogging. A couple of sites that I frequent are http://www.helium.com/ and http://www.orble.com/. Both are very well rounded, and you have the option of writing on whatever you would like to write on. They aren’t as well known as http://www.blogger.com/, if you care to try your hand at writing, and/or editing other’s works, head over to helium, that give you case each time somebody reads your blog.
Whatever you do, do it to the best of your ability, and you will not be disappointed in the results be it working from home online, or going to the local coffee shop and typing away at the words.
