Let's assume that you have done some of the business tutorials by now. Hopefully, you know yourself a little bit better in your likes, your strengths and your limitations.

I cannot possibly list every work at home option in this section. Even if I could, I wouldn't because there are quite a few that I do not recommend. The point of this article though is to give you some ideas to help you find your niche.

One of the keys to being successful is to be unique and offer something special. In conjunction, you must offer a top quality service or product and never let your customer service system fail your clients.

Find the list of things you love to do that you created when you read the "What Makes You Happy?" tutorial.. Then look at the list below and see if anything matches what you wrote. If not, perhaps it will trigger your own original idea. Also, there are some home business opportunities that I have more information on than others. You will find them in other sections of the site.

Wahm Work at Home Mom Business Ideas ... These are in no particular order...

1.   Mobile Car Wash (You go to people's home or office and wash their car for them.)

2.   Decorative Wall Painting (Paint murals on kid's bedroom words or stencil sayings over windows)

3.   Cooking Teacher (Offer yourself to personal organizations or offices for an employee fun day)

4.   Handyman/woman (Fix leaky faucets, hang ceiling fans, put together furniture, etc.)

5.   Personalization (Have a printer? You can personalize more than you can imagine.)

6.   Babysitter (Moms are always looking for someone with experience and who is trustworthy)

7.   House Cleaning (Offer to include windows and you'll be ahead of a lot of the competition or have a set price just for bathrooms)

8.   Home Day Care (check into your state's regulations for what credentials are required and how many children are allowed).

9.   Dog Walker/Pet Sitter (kennels do not appeal to everyone and who wants their pet to go a whole work day without being able to "go").

10.  Photographer (Offer your services to charity service events or company parties).

11.  Telemarketer (Many insurance and other sales companies contract this type of work out - just work out a proposal and try to get your foot in the door to see the sales manager. Charge per lead that you get with bonuses for closed deals. The sales force has to supply the leads unless you already have a source. I did this for Prudential for awhile and actually had to hire people to help me. For leads I personally got, I was paid $8 and a bonus of $12 if they closed the deal for a total of $20.)

12.  Nail Tech or Hair Dresser (Offer house calls. I sometimes have to do back flips to get my toes done because of having to find someone to baby-sit Alex and the babies. I would love it if someone could come to my house and color my hair for me.)

This is just a small sampling. Look in your local newspaper and read the ads. Is there a service you wish was offered, but it isn't in there? Be the first in your neighborhood to offer it.
