Playing to Your Strengths to Make Extra Income from Home

You are reading this because you are either an Associated Content Producer looking to add another stream of income, a stay-at-home parent looking to add some extra money to the paychecks that are coming in, or you just dream of starting your own successful business.

The big question is: Where do you start? I am going to answer your question with a question. What do you like to do?

If you are a people person that loves to decorate, you can go back to school and become an interior designer. No time or money for school. Right. OK, you can work for a company such as At Home America. At Home America offers their kit for a relatively low cost for shipping provided that you book and hold a few parties to make up the difference of the kit. You can beautify your home as well as give other people the opportunity to purchase top end, lower cost items to decorate their home as well.

If you are a stay-at-home parent, you know that one of the most important things to do with your young children is to read to them. Maybe you just love children's books. For a low start up fee, you could become an Usborne Books at Home Independent Consultant. You can host home shows, do direct sales from the catalog, web sales, or become an Educational Consultant and contact schools and daycares to host book fairs. There are incentive trips, continual training and support, and the hostess program is one of the best in the direct sales industry. Any free books your hostess would earn would not come out of your pocket.

If you love to cook, you could sign up with a company such as Pampered Chef. The start up cost is relatively low, but you must be a people person as this will require cooking shows. While you can probably do direct sales from the catalog, most people want to see what they are getting before they decide to order it.
