Another day goes by without riches

Well, since yesterday I have already played with my kids, watched a movie, made breakfast, and searched and thought of new ways to make money. I'm already going bonkers this morning wondering why I didn't think of www.plentyoffish.com.

I do have a idea I'm currently working on that is related to furniture. Which I'm hoping it will be a hit! I'm crossing my fingers. My husband and I have been talking with a top dog I will not mention any names, that gave us the 411 on word press. Duh.. I can't believe we never knew about this. So much easier to design a site, get traffic, and update a website. I will gladly say good bye to html, and hello CSS.

I tried EBay auctions for a few years, and I love doing it. But to this day I still have not figured out how to get that power seller status. I have searched for products, good drop shippers and they all suck. I never got any further then selling stuff out of my basement, kids rooms, and closets. But I guess now when I think about the EBay thing, that it's not how I want to make my riches. I don't want to do anything that is that involved.

Google AdSense and affiliate programs seem to be the best way to create wealth these days. At least I think so. But, again how?

I also tried a errand service in my local area. Boy was that a joke. I think I got two calls. Then I realized my town is not big enough for that kind of service. So I researched all kinds of service ideas. I tried a couple and of course they didn't work. But hey I'm going to give you my list of ideas anyway. Maybe someone else could benefit from one. So here they are:

10 businesses you can start at home

#1. Bookkeeping For Small Biz:
You can start a business offering bookkeeping and accounting services to small business owners who don't have the time or the inclination to set this type of system up for themselves.

#2. Errand Service:
Charge by the hour to perform a variety of errands for your clients. you could market your services to moms, single parents, grandparents, seniors, etc.

#3. Party Planner:
If you enjoy people and parties, then this could be a great business for you to start. You get to throw great parties while spending other people's money!

#4. Pet Sitting:
Do you love animals? There are plenty of people out there that don't want to leave their pets alone during the day. Or, they may be somebody who travels a great deal, and would prefer not to leave their pet in a kennel.

#5. Handyman:
If your handy around the house, why not get paid for it? Things that you think are simple to do, like install a light socket, or repair a broken doorknob or put up bookshelves, is not so simple for others.

#6. Services For Seniors:
There are plenty of seniors out there that could use some help in getting chores done, answering mail, seasonal duties around the house, and much, much more.

#7. Personal Shopper:
Can you imagine how much fun it would be to get paid to do this? You can, as a personal shopper. Lot's of busy executives and harried single parents don't have time to shop for themselves or for others.

#8. Flowers to Go:
If you live on a street on which harried executives travel on their way home, consider growing flowers and selling them right from your front yard.

#9. Computer Tutor:
If you have a knack for working on your computer, then you might want to start a business that enables you to earn money while helping folks learn how to operate a computer.

#10. Newsletter:
You don't have to be a genius or even a great writer to start your own newsletter. Start a newsletter focusing on something you love, something you are obsessed with, and you will enjoy your business everyday.

Well, I hope somebody will benefit from one of these start ups. I'm sure who ever does will have better luck then me.

Until next time,
