it depends on your skills , if you can take care of other children you could do that , you could also have a fish or dog hotel , you could try to see what you would like to do , what kind of need is there in the area where you live.

Write a novel.
I might just be saying this because I'm an inspired author, and though it's not true that anyone can write, you might have a chance.
Just look at stephenie meyer of the twilight series, she hadn't wrote a day in her life, but she got her book published, and now it's a craze, and she's fairly wealthy. She discoverd a hidden talent. Discover yours.

I suggest an online business. This is the best type of home business anyone can do. Some ideas are...

1. Create a website with lots of articles and info on your passion or something that you know about (fishing, music, etc.) Then use Google Adsense to post ads on your site. When your visitors click on an add, you get payed. You can also put Clickbank affiliate links within your site and make money with affiliate marketing. People make six or even SEVEN FIGURES A YEAR with this online business idea.

2. Create a fixed term membership site/program- a fixed term membership program is a program the people pay you for 3,6,9, or even 12 months of content. Say you know how write a song. You could make 1 article a week about songwriting, upload it to an autoresponder, and send the articles out to your subscribers. To make money, people would have to pay you ($25 bucks is reasonable) per month and you could create income month after month. If you charge $25 bucks a month, if you get an easy 4000 members paying you, that is $100,000 A MONTH or 1.2 MILLION a year. You can make more than 1 program and earn more money than you have ever dreamed of.

3. Niche Marketplace/Auction Site- A niche auction site is like an eBay but on a smaller scale. First choose a niche (baseball cards, books, electronics, etc.) Then you create a auction site like eBay but based around your niche. You can hire a site designer to make this, or you can use a free auction site script to make your own site. You can make money by charging a small (3%-10%) fee after a succesffull sale is made on your site. Cameron Johnson made a giftcard auction site at age 21 and made $100,000 a month before selling the site for a six figure amount. He is now worth over 3 million.

4. A web sensation like Facebook, Digg, etc.- this is by far the most challenging ways to make money online, but if you do succeed, you can make BILLIONS! The key is to find something fresh, that people need. What kind of user interactive site do people need. A dating site? A social network site for kids? You simply find a good idea, hire a website building firm, and hope to see money rolling in second after second. Be prepared to pay your website firm some 6 figure amount to have your site up and running. In order to have the best site around, you need everything PERFECT.


I would suggest using ideas 1-3 but if you are really confident, go for number 4. Heck, 23 year old Mark Zuckerberg created one of the internets best sites, Facebook, and now has some 700 million dollars in his pocket.
