No inventory, or money to get your inventory? That is not a problem with dropshipping. To dropship is to move goods directly from the manufacturer directly to the retailer without going through the usual distribution channels.

It means that you can start your online store with little to no upfront costs. Spend your money on a professionally designed website, or create a free one to get started.

Start a Blog

Blogging is not the best option for those who are in search of fast and instant income, it can offer a lot of financial freedom over time with hard word. There are an abundance of options for monetizing your blog as your community begins to grow. Starting a blog is also very affordable for those who do not have a lot of money to put into their business early on. As the blog grows, you can develop it overtime.

Do you have a large following, are they willing to spend their money on anything that you suggest simply because you are that cool?

Affiliate marketing is a great way to monetize your blog. Affiliate marketing involves marketing another companies products and getting a commission. In order to be successful at affiliate marketing, your site has to generate enough sales which means great traffic. A great option for a more seasoned blogger.

E-Books

Becoming an author no longer has to be a long, complicated process. Simply write a great book and begin the process of selling your work through platforms like Amazon. Another great option for bloggers interested in monetizing their blogs, sell your ebooks or other digital content on your website if you have a very engaged blogged following.

Online Courses

They are fun, and oh, so popular, and have the possibility of helping you make quite bit of change. The average Udemy instructor makes $7,000.

Offering your services to businesses and bloggers can result in a successful work from home business.

Virtual Assistant

Virtual assistants today are brilliantly able to offer a wide variety of services. The more resourceful you are, the more successful you can be in this field. Choose your own hours and work with clients located all over the world. I have had the opportunity to offer services to clients in Australia, New Zealand, England, New York, and even locally in my small town of Ohio, from my little home office.

The possibilities are endless!

There are an abundance of work from home opportunities. The key is simply finding the right fit for your lifestyle and skills.
