I like the selling online business. Buy cheap items on clearance sale in WalMart then sell it in ebay. I also have an interest for the making of jewelry. Thanks for the lists. I do hope that you get more responses on this topic.

I am actually selling online already, but not much customers though. I still don't know where to buy cheap, yet of good quality items that are in demand. The business sounds easy, but it really is hard to start earning from it. I'd really like to decorate cakes, but I still don't have the know-how and the time to learn doing it. Yes, I really more people will start responding to this discussion so that we can also find other businesses that we can start from home.

I post my items through local classifieds. Yes, I have a website but it's not yet done. You can check it out if you want to http://www.freewebs.com/ebizphils/ It really needs a lot of work though. hehehe

I prefer doing handmade crafts, and sell them to my friends. I like doing crafts really, sometimes if I am not lazy. lol.

I usually make handmade crafts myself, but I don't sell them because I don't think anyone would be interested on buying them. hehehe... I only make them as gifts for my loved ones.

That's a good start. But I really don't have that much of a convincing power to sell things to friends. hehehe... Thanks for sharing.
