6 Top Work at Home Business Ideas

6 Top Work at Home Business Ideas

It’s incredibly easy for anyone to work at home, and since you can get started without any money down, you can start earning profits fast. There are many great ways to generate an income from home - but certain work at home efforts show up repeatedly as having the top income potential.

The first business you can work from home is to blog for AdSense Cash. AdSense Cash consists of ads that are put on your blog or site. These ads are tied in to your site content (think apples to apples) so you might write a blog about health products and get ads that promote health products.
But if you’re new to this, then how do you know what kind of blog to set up? Would a blog on some obscure topic earn you as much income? No. How to make sure your blog is a money maker (besides providing relevant and fresh content) is to set up a blog based on what’s trending.

If you go the home page of Yahoo, it’ll even tell you what’s trending. What you do is choose a category based on what’s trending. For example, celebrities is a good one. Sports is another good blog, and making money is another one.

You can also make money from home by promoting Amazon items and this is second in the top work at home ideas. You get started on this by signing up to become an Amazon associate. You then promote those products on your website with links back to the product on Amazon using your affiliate ID.

Another avenue and also in the top ways to make money, is to sign up as an affiliate at ClickBank and start promoting their digital products. You’ll want to test out the products that you promote so that you’ll better understand how the product works and you’ll be able to tell your customers what’s good (or not so good) about the product.

You earn a commission (some of them quite high) based on what you promote. If you don’t like the idea of promoting, but you enjoy writing and feel that you have some information that could benefit others, then write an eBook.

An eBook can sell countless times (giving you residual income). You can write an eBook on any topic under the sun – but it’s best to choose a topic that people will pay money for, which usually solves a problem.

Working from home as a virtual assistant is also in the top 6 work at home ideas. It’s a fast growing field and is relatively easy to set up and start. You can network and build clients online, through word of mouth and by positioning your site at the top of search engine results.

Finally, you can break into freelance writing or graphics. It’s easy to turn your writing skills into a way to make money by writing for others. You can become a ghostwriter and write everything from blogs to essays to articles to eBooks and reports.

Unused Gears

October 19, 2012 — My first bike had one gear. Whether I was going fast or slow, uphill or downhill, that gear did everything. My next bike had three gears: one for level surfaces, one for going uphill, and one for going downhill. My third bike had ten gears, allowing me an even broader range of choices. Even though my last bike had several gears to choose from, I didn’t use all of them every time I rode. Some were best suited for starting and climbing, others were reserved for gaining speed, and others were best for a leisurely pace. But the thing about gears is this: Even though I wasn’t using all of them at the time, it didn’t mean I would never need them.
The same can be true in regard to our spiritual gifts and abilities. During times when I feel I am not being used to do certain things I once did, instead of feeling useless and unappreciated I thank God for the “gear” I’m currently able to use. Just because a skill is not needed right now doesn’t mean it never will be. Our spiritual gifts are needed in different ways at different times. Needs and circumstances change in unforeseeable and unpredictable ways. The apostle Paul reminded Titus, “Be ready for every good work” (Titus 3:1). May that be true of us as well. Heavenly Father, I need to remember that what I do is up to You, but how I do it is up to me. Whether I am busy or still, may I be peaceable, gentle, humble, kind, and loving. Keep your tools ready—God will find work for you. by Julie Ackerman Our Daily Bread Read: Titus 3:1-8 Be ready for every good work. —Titus 3:1 Bible in a Year: Matthew 23-25

Christian Quote of the Day

Thursday, October 18th, 2012 There are three kinds of people in the world; those who have sought God and found Him and now serve Him, those who are seeking Him, but have not yet found Him, and those who neither seek Him nor find Him. The first are reasonable and happy, the second reasonable and unhappy, and the third unreasonable and unhappy.

Halloween Costumes - Girls

Halloween Costumes for Little Girls - The Ladybug Girl Fancy Dress Costume .

A great way to decide on a fancy dress costume for your little girl is to take a look at the books that she enjoys. One particular book that has become very popular with little girls is the series called The Ladybug Girl. Now your child can dress up just like the heroine of these stories and enjoy herself while out trick or treating.

The Ladybug Girl – Get the Costume

The ladybug girl costume is a really fun option. It consists of lots of red and black. You can decide to either purchase this outfit or your can create your own if you are handy with a needle and thread. As the name would suggest, the aim of this costume is to look like a little ladybug so the most important feature is the wings. You can get them in all different sizes so you want to be sure to pick the right one for your child. These wings are usually made with straps that your child will need to put her arms through. This is a lightweight structure so will not cause any discomfort at all.



The other essential part of this costume is the bright red tutu skirt. Again, this is something that you can purchase ready made or you can buy some red netting or chiffon tulle and create your own by sewing a loose running stitch through the top and pulling slowly on the thread in order to gather the whole thing together to create the tutu effect. Add a ribbon tie to the back so that it sits securely on the waist.

A Ladybug costume would not be complete without a set of antenna. This can be made from a simple headband in red or in black. All you need is to add a couple of fuzzy little baubles on the top.




In The Ladybug Girl books, our little heroine runs around in a pair of bright red rain boots. You could also add this to this costume or simply get your little one to wear a pair of plain black shoes and attach the same type of fuzzy little baubles that you used for the headband antenna.

Don’t Know About The Ladybug Girl Books?

The little girl in these series of books is called Lulu. Just like all children, she has a vivid imagination and so she has created a heroic alter ego known as Ladybug Girl. There are currently 10 books in the series which was created by husband and wife team Jacky Davis, the writer of the books and David Soman, the illustrator. The stories were actually inspired by their own children.

By using your daughter’s reading books as a source of inspiration, you could create a wonderful Fancy dress costume suitable for any Halloween party or birthday bash.

Lighter not my granddaughter was a lady bug when she was one and half. Adorabble  red buntting with black dots and head band. The memories of that halloween time of many years ago. A great place to find Halloween Costomes online is Birthday In A Box for all your holiday and party needs.

Christian Quote of the Day

We can never live in the past as if it were our true home…. And it is a good thing that God draws this veil over the past even without our asking. In so doing, He allows us to live today for tomorrow with just the few memories we need of what was. - Karl Barth

Empty Nest Syndrome

Empty nest syndrome it happens.. They often have feelings of loneliness and sadness. It is to be expected once the children are gone. But at the same time you have to realize that it will just be the two of you again - freedom and free time, with just you and your spouse. This will give you a chance to reconnect as a couple and spend more time together.

You are going to have an emotional rollercoaster for a while, but please realize that your child is having the same problem. You and your child should be strong together. What will help you with this transition? Will this also help your child? These questions being answered could make it easier for the both of you. Maybe talking on the phone each day and sharing how things are going will make you still feel connected. I am sure there will be tears and there will also be some happiness when you all realize the freedom that you have gained. Your child has gained their independence and you have your life back.

Now that you have the time to live life as you've always wanted, do it! Travel and explore the country. Sleep in or do nothing all day! Just be careful not to add any more big changes to your life. This could cause an emotional rollercoaster.

Now that it is just you and your partner at home, you are going to be cooking less at each meal. This will most definitely be an adjustment. It might also help you quite a bit to just 'run out' and grab something to eat. Think about this before you do it. The more that you start eating out, the less money you will have, and your waistline will increase. You could still cook the same amount of food. It would give you leftovers to eat when there is a night you do not feel like cooking. Cooking for the freezer is a great option, allowing you convenience without the extra calories fast food often adds.
Now that it is just you and your partner at home, you can start having more conversations together. This will be important to enjoying a fulfilling relationship. You can find things to do together all the time. Maybe you can find things to do together that you never knew you wanted to try! Get out and live life to get fullest! If you and your partner want to be doing different things, see if there isn't a way that you can combine them. Example would be if you wanted to work on a knitting pattern and he wants to watch a basketball game, sit in the same room, or go to a live game and bring along your knitting. You can connect just by spending the time together.

The last step of dealing with empty nest syndrome is not to worry about redoing the room that your child moved out of. Redoing the room doesn't mean that the child is gone forever. Feel free to go a little wild when redoing the room. You can paint almost any room for about $30. Just make sure that the room or another room in the house has somewhere for the child to stay when they come home for the summer or a weekend vacation. Imagine, you could have the craft room, sewing room, or home office you've been longing for - in the color scheme you've always dreamed of!

Researching empty nest syndrome might help you prepare more than people who do not read up on empty nest syndrome - allowing you to understand that the feelings you're going through are normal. Just remember that this is a great time for you to express yourself and have fun. Get out and live life to the fullest.
