Most home business ideas are well known and properly covered at every website that deals with home jobs. What are those well-known home business opportunities?

• typing,
• data entry
• drop shipping (through eBay or your own website),
• completing surveys,
• surfing the web
• MLM
• Internet Marketing and Affiliate Marketing,
• stuffing envelopes,
• making cold calls

Also work for:

• freelance graphics designers
• developers
• website optimizers
• translators
• copy writers

In fact, the top providers of these jobs are listed at our left side bar. I have probably missed some – just remind me to complete the list.

And what if we try to extend that list and start a separate category of our blog – Home Based Business Idea Directory – where we will place some unusual ideas for home income generating. You are welcome to send us your ideas or to share your experience. I just ask you to submit working models – the ones that can really generate income. The ideas should be suitable to operate from home. The ideas should not be universal – what is good for some people can be entirely inappropriate for others. So, do not focus on this feature.

I have placed a link at our left bar (see at the bottom) for you to e-mail us your ideas. Probably, we will arrange a contest for best home business ideas – the winners will certainly get prizes. Let’s make a valuable directoty that would help us to earn our living from home (better if it would make us rich, but we should not lose our contact with reality).

Well, as a way to extend the market of search for your home based business opportunities you can go international. Internet and international payment processors to get your earned money (i.e. PayPal operates in many countries worldwide) make it trouble free.

Yes, I realize that there are some issues you should resolve from the start. And yes, the degree of risk to run into some sort of scam is higher than normal. But in my opinion the idea is worth to explore.

Market is really global: you can search for home business opportunities in the USA, Canada, Australia, UK, India (see below example), Ireland, New Zealand. And it is just in case you know one language – English.

I have made one minute research and the first result was the below job opportunity from some company located in India. India enjoys one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Their GNP will be bigger than US in a couple of years. So, that is the reason why I added the country to the below list where to search for home business possibilities. India also has a high per cent of English speaking population and highly developed IT industry. But the choice is yours and you can custom the list of the countries where you will focus your search of job opportunities.

One more website that is likely to help you is this one that lists 1000’s of international search engines. It is obvious that you should target local search engines to spot home jobs.

For hundreds of different types of jobs the Occupational Outlook Handbook tells you:
