Avoid cubicle farms and bosses breathing down your neck<\/strong> by starting an online business that you can run from home. Once you start making real money, you might never turn back. You’ll want to think through online business impact community<\/a> as well. Here are 50 online businesses you start and run from home:<\/p>\n

Virtual assistant<\/strong>
\nHelp clients out by providing secretarial, technical, or creative support from your home office.<\/p>\n

Providing content<\/strong>
\nBlogs, websites, even magazines need content to stay fresh and relevant. Put your writing, photography, or other artistic skills to work for pay.<\/p>\n

Freelance programmer<\/strong>
\nEveryone needs a programmer. You’re especially relevant and valuable if you can program mobile apps.<\/p>\n

Affiliate marketing <\/strong>
\nDrive traffic to big sites like Amazon and eBay, or even to smaller sites via online ads and your website, then get a commission in return.
\n
\nReselling products <\/strong>
\nBuy a bunch of products at one price, set up a website, and resell them to interested buyers for profit.<\/p>\n

Ebooks<\/strong>
\nEbooks in every topic are a hot commodity. You could either get them written and sell them via your website, or write them yourself.
\n
\nHome study courses<\/strong>
\nLearning a new skill is as easy as getting online, and if you have a specialty, it’s a good time to turn it into a home study course that you can sell for profit.<\/p>\n

Reports<\/strong>
\nResearch a topic that people just can’t find a solution to, package it into a report, then sell each report for money.
\n
\nEducational videos<\/strong>
\nFrom fixing dishwashers to understanding myopia, people are hungry to learn online. Help them with your educational videos.<\/p>\n

Selling software <\/strong>
\nFrom Internet security to marketing support, everyone with a computer is looking for some kind of software. Help them find it by selling it on your site.<\/p>\n

Day trading<\/strong>
\nIf you’re willing to rise early, study markets, and put in winning bets, this three-hour-a-day job could be for you.<\/p>\n

Google AdSense websites<\/strong>
\nCreate one or more blogs or websites, and make money by showing Google AdSense ads.<\/p>\n

Selling ad space<\/strong>
\nBuild a website, increase traffic to it, and advertisers will be knocking on your door to pay you for ad space.
\n
\nFlipping domains<\/strong>
\nSee a potentially hot domain name<\/a> that hasn’t been taken yet? Buy it up and flip it for profit.<\/p>\n

Online auctions<\/strong>
\nYes, buying up someone else’s junk at garage sales, then selling it for a premium on eBay still does work.
\n
\nData entry<\/strong>
\nEveryone needs data entry, but few are willing to do it. If you’re one of those few, you can find contract jobs online.
\n
\nPaid online surveys<\/strong>
\nMarketers will pay as much as $300 per day for in-person surveys. Online surveys will net you less, but if you do enough of them, you can make yourself a handsome little nest egg.<\/p>\n

Network marketing<\/strong>
\nProven products always need more sellers. Find a niche you like, put up a small amount of money upfront, make lots of phone calls and online inquiries, and watch the profits roll in.<\/p>\n

Selling your handiwork or crafts<\/strong>
\nIf you consider yourself an artsy-craftsy person, add the fruits of your labor to Etsy.com<\/a> and transform them into dollars.<\/p>\n

Flipping websites<\/strong>
\nTake someone’s flailing website off their hands, polish it up, and find a buyer who wants it.<\/p>\n

Naming domains <\/strong>
\nIf you’re good at naming things, try your hand at domain naming for profit at PickyDomains.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Writing software reviews<\/strong>
\nIf you geek out on new apps, programs, and other software, writing reviews on SoftwareJudge.com<\/a> can make you money.<\/p>\n

Writing Google AdWords ads<\/strong>
\nEveryone wants good AdWords ads, but not everyone can write them well, as any Google search will demonstrate. Prettifying AdWords ads can make you a profit.<\/p>\n

Write sponsored posts on your blog<\/strong>
\nCompanies everywhere are dying for social media exposure. Get enough user traction on your blog, and make moola writing paid posts through an agency like PayPerPost.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Social media expert<\/strong>
\nIf you have a real aptitude for gaining a following on social media sites like Twitter and Facebook, outsource those skills to companies as a social media expert.
\n
\nWrite an ezine with a paid subscription<\/strong>
\nIf you have valuable content to offer, consider writing an ezine, then charging users to read it. This is an especially promising strategy as the age of the tablet rears its head.<\/p>\n

Online research<\/strong>
\nLots of people and companies need research done, but not everyone has the time to do it. Pimp your skills as a researcher-for-pay.<\/p>\n

Flipping blogs<\/strong>
\nSee a potentially huge blog that’s been neglected by its owner? Snap it up, fix it up, increase traffic, and flip it to a buyer for a profit.<\/p>\n

Transcribing<\/strong>
\nTranscribing audio content can be a slow, time-consuming process, and the truth is, there’s just not that much good transcribing software out there. This could be your niche.<\/p>\n

Recruiting<\/strong>

Consulting<\/strong>
\nPitch yourself as an expert in your field and harness your connections to consult for a living.<\/p>\n

Life coach<\/strong>
\nDo you like to motivate people? Got business acumen? If so, exchange your skills for cash as an online life coach.<\/p>\n

Online travel agent<\/strong>
\nAlthough lots of travel planning is now automated, you can still make money as a specialized travel agent, either for a travel portal or on a consulting basis.<\/p>\n

Selling products<\/strong>
\nIf you have something to sell, there’s a place for you to sell it, from Craigslist to eBay to Amazon to all kinds of specialty sites.<\/p>\n

Dropshipping<\/strong>
\nBe the middleman between a customer and a wholesaler by shipping goods that a customer orders from said wholesaler–and marking them up in the process.<\/p>\n

Graphic design<\/strong>
\nPut your artistic skills to use by designing posters, ads, business cards, and more.<\/p>\n

Web design<\/strong>
\nOutsource your skills to the legions of companies and individuals looking for a new or improved website.<\/p>\n

Selling used books<\/strong>
\nSelling used books on sites like Amazon.com and, if you sell the right books, quite lucrative.<\/p>\n

Internet marketing <\/strong>
