Hey Glp....my broke unemployed sorry ass needs to find a home business....any recommendations?

What are your work skills ?

15 years of construction.

Avid researcher on current events and history.....good salesmen.

Phennommenon posted a thread about starting your own business sometime last month.

Search the thread - lots of great ideas.

Can't remember the exact name of the thread though.

Perhaps you can pm her.

Good luck!

Here you go. I saved it because it's got alot of really good ideas and you never know when you'll need them. Good luck!

Thread: For those unemployed/who asked: Ideas to supplement your income or start your own business.

Thanks for finding that Texan Buckeye!!!



Hope the OP takes some of that advice:)

I don't really know what you're looking for, but a quick and easy source of money is converting old wood-frame windows into mirrors.

I used a blowtorch and a 5 in 1 to clean them off, and cut 1'*8' door mirrors down into panels( they are the cheapest 1/8" mirror you can buy ), secured with a dot bead of liquid nails in the corner, no glaze points required of course.

Sand slightly, finish with low VOC Zars, or milk paints.

Cost to make = under 10$
Sell for anywhere from 100-300$ depending on the window style.

I used to make and sell all sorts of things, that was about the quickest and easiest money I could make using what basically amounts to garbage.

Yuppies love 'em.

Good luck man.

Np, JanJan. There are few I'm thinking about trying too. Can't hold a "regular" job anymore because of health issues, so I saved the thread in case something I could do would turn up.

According to this article "onine affiliate" is the best job. It has a link for a good company to do it through:

msn.bcnews7.com/jobs/

Plus there has been many threads lately on home & online jobs. Do a search.

Good luck.

Youngevity is a great MLM to be in at this time.

All you have to do is talk with people, and find out what they want. Whether it is time, money, better health you can offer it to them with this company.

Don't know why link didn't work. Here it is again and also link to the company they mention in article. Hope it works this time:

If the article link doesn't work again here's what they said about it:

"No. 1 best: Online Affiliates

Well, you certainly can't spell or type worth a damn. But, since you can work with tools, I recommend this: Buy cheap, used wood furniture off craigslist and at yard sales. Refinish and resell it. For example, you buy an old, beat-up dresser for $5. Refinish it with a faux antique look and resell for $100. That's huge a huge profit margin. Resell on craigslist, eBay, through consignment at a local antiques store, etc.

*That's a huge profit margin.

Hats

The US is going to be # 1 oil producer within the next 10 years, bypassing the ME.

# 1 gaz producer, also.

If you want to work, there is work and opportunity.

Things are changing, industry comes back to the US. Things are not quite rosy right now, but this will be different SOON.

The economic future for the US is BRIGHT.

Breaking and entering. You can work from any home.

Well Here Are A Few Options...
.
1) Surveys - You Make About $. 10 - $1.00 Per Survey And If You Can Manage To Do One Every Thirty Minutes You Could End Up Making About $5.00 In 8 Hours, $25 A Week And $100 A Month.

2) Mystery Shopping - You Write A One To Two Page Letter About Your Experience With A Specific Place, And A Lot Of Other Specific Info Such As How Clean The Place Was, Names OF The People You Dealt With, How Long It Took You To Be Helped, Etc. And You Get Paid About $15.00 Per Shop And/ Or Sometimes Just A Free Meal.

3) Focus Groups - I Sat In On One Session Talking About A Product I Used And Filled Out A Questionnaire About The Product And They Paid Me $150.00 For About An Hour Of My Time Plus Handled My Parking Fees. This Will Get You Started
fgglobal.com

4) Direct Sales And Affiliate Sales - There Are Hundred Of Companies Out There That Give You An Opportunity To Sell Their Products And You Make Anywhere From 25-50% On The Products You Sell. The Good Companies That Know You Will Make A Lot Of Money Ask You To Buy In. Costing Anywhere From $10-$500.00. I Am Currently A Part Of A Few Of These Companies And The One With The Cheapest Start Up Fee Was AVON. You Get A Website, A Bunch Of Catalogs And Some Marketing Assistance. ----- All I Do Is Tell People That I Know Through Social Networking Sites, Friends, Family And Sometimes Ads In Newspapers About The Products And Discounts Avon Offers. I Direct Them To My Site, They Purchase, Avon Delivers Merchandise Directly To Them And I've Earned 25-40% On What I've "SOLD". Here's My Link. youravon.com/charettaupshaw

Someone on here awhile back said they get paid a good amount of money to allow big pharma to test new drugs on them. Sounds a bit risky but I think they were getting some fairly big checks and food/lodging sometimes when it required them to travel. Plus if you become a mutant freak I'm sure there is compensation for that.
