Thursday Thirteen – 13 Types Of Home Business To Consider
January 24, 2008 by Mary Emma Allen
Home businesses range from small one-person operations to larger ones with employees and equipment. They may be operated solely online or completely off line in a portion of your home. Also, you might have the office in your home, but your service is performed at your customer/client’s house or business.
Here are just thirteen possibilities, if you’re thinking of opening your own. You also can use these as springboards and consider variations of them.
- Snow plowing (winter) and yard work (other seasons).
- Medical transcription
- Accounting and billing
- Editing or other writing related projects
- Skincare and beauty consultant
- Daycare
- Tutoring
- Housecleaning and home organizing
- Giving music lessons
- Plant rental or upkeep service
- Pet grooming and/or pet sitting
- Cake decorating for special occasions
- Dressmaking and alterations
Add to this list. Share with us what you do!

Ooh, good list! Just be careful @ #6 – it’s strictly regulated in many states.
Nice list! I notice that freelance writing is missing. :0) But the list is a great one — full of possibilities for those who want to move away from writing-type jobs.
Thanks, Kelly, for pointing out the concern about #6…daycare. I think each state has its own regulations. As you say, they’re usually very strict. I’ll have to search, but I think someone inquired, in a comment at a previous post, where to find daycare regulation info and another commenter gave a web site.
Thanks, Miranda, for visiting and giving your input. I’m planning to give an online list of possibilities, which could include freelance writing. As I read this one over, I realized most of these were for in home or physical businesses which could have online or blog possibilities.
This is very good but not suitable to most of the Towns.
