- Buy some wholesale goods and sell on ebay or make a website selling specific items. There are websites you can go on to buy stock from shops that are closing down etc. Many wholesale websites.
- Start a web hosting business. Don't need much knowledge.. Will take a while to get enough clients for £150 pw but doable.
- If you're any good with graphics you could design websites, logos, banners, leaflets, brochures, business cards. You can use websites such as
www.elance.com and
www.freelancer.com to find work.
- Become a 'Virtual Assistant', carrying out administrative tasks for businesses from your home via the net. You can use the above sites to find work and there are also websites dedicated to Virtual Assistants.
- Buy an existing web based business from a website such as
www.businessesforsale.com . Ideas include dating sites, property websites, sites selling products that link to a wholesale business - clothing, watches, trainers etc.
- If you are creative you could make things and sell them - sculptures, furniture, jewellery, pottery etc. You could buy a lathe and make pens, bowls, candlestick holders to name just a few ideas. Sell them at craft fairs or online.
- Its already been suggested but trading coach is a good one if you are proficient. You could market you system on Collective2 and charge people a subscription for your calls.
- Do you have a spare room? You could rent it out.
- Organise events like wine tasting, mini beers festivals, cheese tasting (lol, just random ideas - I'm thinking of things I like!) in your local village hall or whatever you guys have down in London. Sell tickets.
- Buy a professional printer and start a little business printing posters, leaflets, photos, portraits - you could buy a fancy camera and do family photos.
Running out of ideas now. Hope there are some useful ideas for you there even if only to inspire you. Good luck. Let me know if you fancy a joint venture - I'd like to work from home too
Sam.
