It looks to me like you
need to decide what type of business you want to start. There
are a wide number of opportunities to begin with depending on
your taste, talent, likes/dislikes, passions, etc. I recommend
sitting down with a pen and paper and listing out all of the
things that you like to do. My philosophy has always been 'if
you are going to work from home, find your passion. Why live in
a great home and do work that you dislike?'
After you've made your list, start doing searches for
opportunities. One of the hottest opportunities on the web right
now is publishing eNewsletters/eZines. If you are an expert and
can come up with a niche, I recommend starting here. You can use
your website to archive the ariticles and for people to sign up
for your publications. Once you have a large subscriber base,
advertisers are likely to follow and should help pay for your
site and publications.
If you want to sell something, what would that be? You will
need some type of way to collect payments or a shopping cart
(read: money needed for investment). The opportunities are
practically endless - but try to narrow it down to things you
are truly passionate about.
Best of luck,
