HOME BUSINESS IDEAS
Affiliates:
You can work with affiliate programs. What is an affiliate? When a company offers you the opportunity to sell their products and they pay you a specified commission on each sale, then this kind of company is an affiliate program.
What kinds of affiliate programs are there?
1 Pay-per-sale: With this program you can earn commission as long as you send a number of visitors to a site who purchase something.
2 Pay-per-click: This program pays based solely on how many visitors you send to their site, regardless of whether they buy anything.
3 Pay-per-lead: With this structure, you get paid for each person who visits the merchant site and qualifies as a lead by signing up.
4 Multi-tier programs: This structure allows you to earn money in two ways: through the number of visitors you refer through your own site, and through their sign ups. For example, if you refer affiliates to the merchant, you earn a percentage of the new affiliate's sales.
5 Residual programs: In these programs, you continue to earn a percentage of a customer's purchases if the customer repeatedly buys from the merchant.
Custom Candy Wrappers!
This is where you take a candy bar and you design and print your own wrapper to put over the candy bar’s original wrapper. Now you might be wondering why would someone want to do this? Well these favors make wonderful birthday and wedding favors. They are great for special events and get-togethers like family reunions and retirement parties, and can be used in fundraising events.
And it isn’t just chocolate bars that candy wrappers are finding to wrap. They’re also wrapping lifesavers, gum, tic tacs, mint, and even popcorn bags. Some wrappers are even wrapping non-food items like bubbles and matchbooks.
More Ideas Of People and Groups Who Might Want Your Service:
· Bridal shops
· Wedding planners
· Event planners
· Baby shops
· Obstetrician offices
· Florists
· Gift shops
· Specialty toy stores
· Trade shows
· Professional fundraising groups (try the school your kids go to)
Skills Needed:
The skills you will need for this business might be something you already posses. But it helps to be creative and have some knowledge of graphics software. However, there are lots of programs and free ready-made wrappers available on the Internet. Customer service skills are important too. You’ll need to market your business and there are so many great ways to get your business name out there. A chocolate bar with your business card wrapped around it would be a great way to get people’s attention.
Supplies:
Equipment that you might already have is a computer, color printer, some type of graphics software, paper for your wrappers, and in some cases you might need candy bars (sometimes clients will provide the candy bars and you just need to sell them the wrappers). When just starting out, scissors work great for cutting your wrappers, but as your business grows you’ll want to look into a nice paper cutter. You’ll also need something to stick your wrappers together. Glue sticks or tape works great. Make sure whatever you choose is acid free and photo safe.
Once you’re business gets rolling a little more, you might want to invest in a scanner and/or Digital camera if you don’t already have one. These are useful if you want to add personal photos to your wrapper designs.
When looking for paper, candy bars, ink etc. Try to buy in bulk. You’ll usually get a better deal and be able to keep more of your profits if you shop wisely.

Making Money with a Newcomers Welcome Service
Have you ever found yourself in a new town and were lost? You had no idea where anything was, where the hangouts were, or what businesses were in the area?
How nice it would have been to sign-up for a free service where someone would come to your house, tell you about the new community you had just moved into, and give you a packet of goodies that included coupons, gift certificates, maps etc. That would have saved you a lot of time, and given you a good overview of what to expect in your new town.
Owning your own newcomers welcoming service can be very rewarding. Not only will you be able to make a newcomer feel welcomed and informed, but you can also help local businesses by acquainting them with their future customers. It’s a big win-win situation for you. Perfect if you like making everyone happy.
To run a welcome business you simply talk with local businesses in your area. You explain to them that you will give newcomers who just moved to the community a welcome packet, and you ask if they would like to be included. They might want to give you a special coupon or a gift certificate to include in your welcome packets.
You then decide how you want to have these flyers and coupons printed. You can decide to do it yourself, work with your local printer, or make copies at a local copy shop. Finding these newcomers isn’t too hard either. You can hook-up with realtors and local county records to find potential clients. And, thanks to Bizymoms Business Kits, it is now a whole lot easier to find potential new comers.
Bizymoms has created a Welcome Service Business Kit that includes everything you need to get this type of business started and running successfully.

The website is yours forever, and once you pay for the kit, you won’t have to pay anything else for the site…ever.
What’s so incredible about this webpage is the fact that you will become an associate on the website http://www.yournewtowngreetings.com; which will be promoted throughout the country.
