Ten Hot Home Business Ideas

If you have some spare time, why not start a home based business and earn some cool cash? With the increased cost of living, food and fuel prices skyrocketing, I am sure you could do with some extra money on the side.

Here's a few hot home business ideas to get you going:

1. Mail Order Business

A mail order business is still by far the easiest to start up and operate from home. Find a good product, run test adverts in relevant publications and assess how well it does. Then concentrate on the publications that offer you
good returns. In mail order, payment is received first from the customer and then the order is dispatched by post to the customer. In this way you don't need excessive amounts of money or risk to outlay on stock.

2. Internet Business

There are countless of businesses you can operate on the web. These range from e-commerce sites where you offer a product or service to niche content sites and blogs where you can make money from Adsense or by selling ad space to other sites. Partaking in an affiliate program and promoting a great product is also recommended.

3. Paper Recycling

If you have a van or a vehicle with a trailer and some spare space at home, then you could collect old paper and cardboard and sell them to recycling plants in your area. There is a lot of hard work involved but if you have the
time and are prepared to give it your best, then this opportunity could be quite profitable for you.

4. Publish A Small Community Newspaper

If you have a flair for writing, then you should consider publishing a small community newspaper. You will distribute the newspapers for free in your area. You will make money by accepting paid ads into your newspaper from
businesses in that specific area.
