Step 1
Join large well-established cosmetic and jewelry megacompanies such as Avon and Mary Kay. Use your telephone and the convenience of their representative websites to sell their products for a generous commission; you also get discounts on anything you buy.
-
Step 2
Host a Tupperware party or join other party planners selling anything from preschool toys to sexy lingerie. The hostess’s commission is usually worth the effort of hosting a party in your home, and you make new friends.

Step 3
Use drop shipping in a mail-order business. You carry no inventory and usually sell from a website or a brochure. Customers order, you take the money, you pay the drop-shipper and your customer’s get their merchandise shipped from the drop-shipper as if it were you sending the package.

Step 4
Advertise your services as a courier. Deliver packages and documents across town or to airports fast. This is not a good business to start if you have small children.
-
Step 5
Advertise your services as an errand runner. Run errands for shut-ins and those without vehicles. Take elderly patients to the doctor's office or the hospital. You may need a chauffeur's license and added car insurance to start this service. Everything you need for your service is tax-deductible, even down to gas and car repairs.
