good ideas for a home business?

I recently had a baby and i'm looking for good moneymaking ideas that i can do from home on my computer or locally. I prefer making and selling things such as gift baskets and crafts, but I need some ideas and marketing ideas. Ebay is a definite option, but would purchasing my own website and advertising work better? Add links if you know of any good crafting sites and please give me any advice you have for a good business.

1. sell unique things to chinese,they love them.
2. I'd just set up a web site and have a my space and 360 and feed in to your self - the gift basket idea is great - you can send our fliers, advertise in a local paper - send one to someone so they say "wow where did that come from" and at first you spend $ to make $. Word of mouth is a beautiful thing and sell what you make what didn't 'sell' on e-bay and have a store.

9. Hi Melanie, Congratulations on your new baby - what a blessing! You definitely should be able to work at home. The fact that you are crafty is a plus. I haven't done ebay yet myself, but have thought about trying to start by just selling a few things around the house that I never use. Some people do well with ebay and some don't. I like the website idea. If you look at my website http://www.chocolate-candy-mall.com you will see that you could build a site initially without making the actual products yourself if you like. Once you have it set up and established some traffic you can then add your "store" to take orders and sell. I may do that eventually, but right now I don't have the extra time, nor do I want the hassle. I really didn't have the first idea about how to build a website or anything else, but the program that I found, SBI, I really love. They taught me step by step and had all the tools already available at my fingertips. They've got a free online course for work at home mom's. Here is the link http://wahm-masters.sitesell.com/Angie5.html It really helped me see what I could do. I wish you all the best. Treasure your new treasure. =)
10. Best opportunity out there. I know of people making 300k a year in residual income and they only have been doing it for 1.5 years. You can earn up to 30k a week eventually. Company has 6000 members. Will be at around 100k at year end. Estimate to be at 5 Million in 5 years. Talk about timing. The most amazing product in the financial market today. Investors are lining up to invest with this strategy because its making such high returns. Don't even have to sell the business. You sell the product because once people use the product and see how amazing it is they can't keep their mouth shut and tell everyone. Watch the business video in the upper right corner and let me know what you think. You can email me. www.freedomrocksnetwork.com

I would love to get you the details and then you can decide if it would work for you. Just go to my website of course browse through it and request info.

12. Check out www.craftlister.com This is a place to advertise products and events. You can even check out a Yahoo! Group called the mompack. It's a great place to network and advertise. Also, search your local area for networking groups. They help in getting your name and products out there. Yahoo! does offer websites that aren't expensive, and they come with domain name and email. Best Wishes! ~Kristina

14. I too have two children and was looking for a way to work from home also. My friend shared with me an awesome business called Two Sisters Gourmet. I also enjoy crafts, etc. I make up gift bags for my customers to buy with the gourmet food and I make good money doing it. People enjoy being able to take home a gift bag the same night they come to a cooking experience. Just take a look at the website www.twosistersgourmet.net/web/jbariteau You won't find any negative information about this business. I have been rewarded time and time again and the people are awesome.
