Start a Website
Find something that you know a lot about and are passionate about and start a website. You can build it up as your business becomes more profitable. The key is to do something you know a lot about or are passionate about otherwise it can be hard to stay motivated.
If you have a lot of knowledge about something, you can write and sell e-books about the subject that you know about. If you are really good at making crafts or gifts, start a website selling your creations. Whether your love is for interior design, baby clothing, wedding favors, or fishing and camping gear.
Whatever you choose, be sure to purchase a domain name and get going. If you are not sure you know how to set up your own website, you may need to hire someone to help you. But keep in mind that all business’s have start up costs.
I personally like Go Daddy to buy my domains. They are reliable and have sales all the time on domain names.

Online Auctions
Selling products on Ebay is an great online business because you do not have to build your own e-commerce site, and you can start part-time and grow your business as large as you want.
I have done some Ebay selling too, and I can tell you for a fact that it is possible to make money on Ebay, but you will have to do some research first and educate yourself. You just need to get your hands on some good, solid information to get started. There are a lot of books that have been written on this subject.
If you are serious about Ebay selling, I strongly recommend you read Ebay books and surf Ebay’s site to see what’s selling. Many people have made their primary income through online auctions.
To get started sign up for a free Ebay account and then open a free PayPal account. This will make transactions go a lot smoother. Research other websites or auctions similar to yours to get ideas on how to market your product.
If you are thinking of starting an Ebay selling business, here are some things you should know first
If you sell a product that other people also sell, the price competition will be strong. profits will be low, so in order to make a lot of money, you must deal with large quantities of sales. To do this effectively, you need to streamline your operation.
Customer service is crucial, since all your buyers can leave feedback on each transaction, and this creates a “feedback score” on which you will be judged by other potential consumers.

A note to everyone: Don’t expect to get rich with any of these work at home businesses that I have suggested. Working at home is like the workplace where most people make an average income. But, with some effort and if you stick to it you can make a good living working at home.When you are working from home don’t give up your day job at least not when you first get started because it will take some time to make money.
My advice: Don’t give up! Keep your attitude positive and know that you will be successful if you really apply yourself and take the time to educate yourself!
