I have been trying to think of a home business that I could run alongside my current job to earn some extra money. It’s tough trying to come up with a business that is unrelated to my teaching and is a business that can come along with me wherever we go. After a lot of thought, I came up with Three Easy Home Businesses.

The criteria I set was that it had to be a business I could take with me wherever I go and it had to be a business that could be started on the cheap. Here are my three easy home businesses.

1) Handicrafts. Handicrafts can sell no matter where I am. I could come up with my own designs on some simple handicrafts. I could sell them over the net, but I could also sell them locally where ever I am. The plus is that the whole family could be involved in the production.

2) Writing. I like to write. I could sell my writing online on different webmaster forums. The pay is ok as I have done some of it. It may not pay a lot, but it could be lucrative as a sideline and better than taking on students.

3) Marketing. I could work to market products for other people. I could do it using the web or even locally. The idea is to contact people in the local area and offer my services. Something like a full scale web promo package. It could be good.

Anymore to add? Any comment?
