Online Seller
-
You can reach millions of people with your products by advertising and selling them online. Small, easy-to-ship items are best for online selling, but you can sell anything if you are willing to deal with the hassles and expenses of packing and shipping. There are plenty of people online selling everything from stamps to furniture to houses to cars. Pursue a personal passion such as antiquarian books, or go for the big money by selling huge numbers of computer parts, CDs or hair care products. Promote your Web presence aggressively, always treat your customers well, and you will see the results in your bank account.
Freelance Editor
-
Your editing skills can be utilized for profit over the Internet. Freelance writers, magazines, blogs, students and book publishers all seek talented editors who can turn their mediocre prose into something special. Work such as this blends perfectly with the Internet, because it involves no physical shipping or presence; all of your services are conceptual in the form of modified written prose. If you already have a traditional job as an editor but want to spend more time at home, talk to your employer about the possibilities of telecommuting and doing work for your employer from your home office.

Consultant
-
Consultants offer advice on a vast range of subjects to clients who seek guidance, decision-making assistance and expertise. Professional consultants support themselves online in the fields of computers, home care and renovation, health and beauty, money management, and virtually any other field of human endeavor. If you have expertise in your field that you want to share with others, develop it into an online project that can simultaneously support you and eliminate your commute. Consultants spend a lot of time researching, seeking out information and sharing it in a clear and concise way with their clients. If these activities appeal to you, perhaps an online consultancy business is in your future.
Psychic
-
If your personal skills and talents extend beyond the technical and into the mystical, make use of your gifts and Internet technology at the same time by offering psychic consultations with clients from a distance. This can be done through email, or even more effectively by communicating with clients face-to-face using Skype or another video conferencing application. Psychics claim that physical distance is not a factor in the ability to attune to someone else's thoughts, so a consultation can be just as effective online as when you are in the same room.
