With the ups and downs of the economy, the slicing of employer benefits, and the crazy pace of life, many people are deciding to take control of their careers and income through a home business. While once a pie-in-the sky idea, today, home businesses are the reality for millions. It's easier and more affordable than ever to build a home-based career.



That doesn't mean profits will be automatic or easy to achieve. But if you have the desire, a plan, and a willingness to do the work, you can be a successful home-based entrepreneur. 

Starting a Home Business

The first step in home business success is in figuring out what business to run. Too many people focus on fast profits over choosing the right idea. While the goal is to make money, to base your decision solely on profit potential and ignoring your interest or compatibility to the business is a big mistake. It's always better to choose a business idea that you're passionate about or can get excited about. The good news is that you can turn a passion or a hobby into a home business.Or you can take a skill from your job or volunteer work and build a business doing that.

Once you have an idea about the area you'd like to build a business in, the next step is determining how to turn your idea into income. There are essentially three ways to make money: 

1. Sell stuff 

2. Sell your skill.

3. Sell your knowledge

For example, if your passion is baking, you can open an online store selling baking goods (sell stuff), provide baking services to others (sell skill), or teach baking (sell knowledge). 

Unfortunately, many would-be home business owners get stuck on knowing what business to start. This is where having a list of possible ideas can help. Below you'll find a MONSTER list of over 80 proven home business ideas. The list isn't complete, but it will show you how many different businesses you can start and possibly lead you to more potential ideas.

The digital nomad phenomenon is only one example of this increasing office-free trend that’s seducing everyone from stay-at-home parents to previously full-time employed individuals to autonomy-craving millennials. Whether you have a home-based business, travel to your clients, or cram in a few hours at a cafe, the possibilities of avoiding the 9-5 office life are plentiful.
