999 work at home ideas: 1-8

By Sean Andy

1. Produce Christmas cards which are printed on the front with, for example, "Happy Christmas from the Smith Family". Or, instead of the name 'Smith', pick one of the dozens of other popular surnames. Sell packs of these cards by direct mail to people listed in telephone directories.

2. Publish a newsletter for expectant mothers. Provide subscribers with information and reassurance. Send each subscriber an issue which ties in with the stage of her pregnancy.

3. At a crafts fair or antiques market have a stall which sells products related to Shakespeare. These might include: prints, books, audio cassettes, videos and posters.

4. Bring out a regular publication for ambitious amateur musicians. This publication might include ads from. Employers seeking musicians. Retailers selling equipment accessories and supplies. People selling used equipment. Musicians seeking to make contact with other musicians. Also publish interesting editorials and letters.

5. Locate a source of fresh, pure mud and package it in specially sealed containers. Sell this by post for beauty treatment.

6. Start a mail order business which sells vitamin pills. Produce a catalogue which contains a far wider range of vitamin pills than is available at shops.

7. Become a make-up consultant. Advise women on what make-up suits their individual mix of: skinshade, hair and eye colours, nose and facial shape, etc. Once you have established your consultancy, make more money by teaching others to be make up consultants.

8. Make up pretty bags filled with aromatic herbs which are designed for hanging around the house or in cars. Add an elastic string to each bag so that one pull will release some of the aroma into the air. - 16003
