Default Need some home base business ideas!

Greetings to all of you. I have a bit problem and want you people to help me out. I had been employed in the pharma industry but due to my bad fortune I met with an accident and I cannot continue my old job as it is a field job. I currently earn money but that is not enough for the whole of my family. I need some home based business ideas so that I can make my family life better. I have come to know that there are many home based business opportunities on the net but have some doubts in that as I am not familiar in this thing. Since I am new to this, I would like to know the ways in which I can earn money online from home based jobs and if other ways via the net as I cannot make it outside my house. Hope that you people understand my problem and will help me.

I think if any of us had any home based business ideas we'd be doing them ourselves

why don't you retrain for lab work? Most labs are already adjusted for people with mobility problems and working in your own field is better than working on a chat line or something.

If you do decide on some home work, never ever pay them for materials, registration etc; the employer pays the worker not the other way around.

There is a website that does provide listings of legitimate work from home companies. Unfortunately, I can't remember where it is or what it's called! Most online businesses are scams, so beware. I think the OFT produces guidance on working from home as well, but Conniff has pointed to the main signs of a con.

Have you also looked into asking employers to allow you working from home or making some adaptions to allow working in an office (if desired)? Maybe as a consultant or researcher that doesn't require field work?

Good luck.

Well, I think that the net will be the most appropriate way to make money for you .In this way you can get earnings without making physical exertion. But, you should be careful as there are many loopholes online. You can get going by taking a look at XXXXX. This site suggests you many ways for making money from home based jobs and has many other ideas for making a living from home. You can find people discussing their ideas here and this will help you to pick the best from the rest.Anyways I hope that you find my suggestion useful and hope that you make enough for your family.

MLM and Make money fast schemes are synonymous of working from home. Seriously, I know someone who is a home-visit Will writer and does comfortably from it. Google around.

Thing is though is that with Google, most of the get rich quick schemes say to avoid the scams, thereby making it out that they themselves are not scammers when in fact they are! If it promises riches (and loads of pictures of tropical islands, fast cars, peoples "bank statements" showing transfers of quazillions of dollars per second) then its a scam. But I think the OP probably already knows this. If these damned things worked, everyone would be doing them.

Still think it's a good idea to look at "proper" work (I do not mean that in a derogitory sense)
