Most parents today have a tough time economically: they have to be at home raising their children so they cannot work much and the jobs that are out there are often part-time and low paying. Yet most families need two incomes today to get ahead.

Detailed in this new book are over 100 business ideas that can be started for very little money and yet may provide parents with a lot more money than they would be paid by the hour.

This is a collection of businesses selected especially for stay-at-home parents who are interested in augmenting their income. These businesses can be started with minimum training and investment and are all capable of producing extra income. Most can easily be operated by one person and eventually be sold for an additional profit. Many of these businesses can actually be started with less than one hundred dollars and some can really be started with next to nothing. All can be operated from home.

Starting and managing a business takes motivation and talent. It also takes research and planning. This new book is intended to serve as a roadmap for starting your business. It is both comprehensive and easy to use. It also includes numerous web links for additional information. While providing detailed instruction and examples, the author leads you in developing a winning business plan and structure of the business plus accounting and bookkeeping procedures. Sales and marketing techniques and pricing formulas are demystified. You will learn how to set up computer systems to save time and money and generate high-profile public relations and publicity while avoiding legal pitfalls. Thousands of great tips and useful guidelines will help you keep bringing customers back, give you low-cost internal marketing ideas, low and no-cost ways to satisfy customers and sales building ideas.

Old worn out ideas...

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2009

Verified Purchase

I was quite disappointed in this book. While it does have 101 business ideas and other basic information, I feel cheated. Technology is moving faster than publishing and with a 2007 copyright the book is dated lacking many current opportunities. One specific complaint involves the number of jobs that require you to work outside your home. This isn't always possible with small children. There is nothing new contained within the pages of this book, just a rehash of the same old jobs. Child care, medical billing, various consulting jobs and similar jobs dominate this book. Can you really make money arranging flowers or baking cakes? Perhaps, but it won't pay your house payment.

Loved this book and had a lot of great ideas and suggesstions

There were some very good ideas in this book. I really liked how some of the proceeds go to The Humane Society of the United States. But, what up with the Index??? There are 10 page numbers listed for each business/item in the Index, and they are all the same. It makes it impossible to look for something. I'm very disappointed with that. Otherwise, I would give it a higher rating.

This purchase was a waste of my time. I could have written it myself--it was far too basic for anyone really wanting to learn about something more than babysitting at home. Give me a break!

Possible with dedication

Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2009

The information supplied in this book can serve anyone wishing to start their own business as a useful reference guide. It is obvious Shepherd writes from personal experience for she thinks of everything one needs to know before starting a home business.
The business planning section shows that a home business can be much more than just earning a few dollars, it can be a viable, long term income if you plan for it.

What I found most helpful were the sections on business selection and planning. There are simple checklists and questions to find out what type of business you are most suited to and likely to be successful at. It would be really helpful for someone feeling unsure about what type of home business would be best for them. Good resource.

Practical ideas & planning for home business.

Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2008

This book has lots of practical, current ideas that could be started for much less than one thousand dollars. The 101 ideas are really well laid out and have links and recommended books so you can find out more. Each idea has specific ideas for how to get started and links to books and organizations for more information. It does not just give you can idea, but it shows you how to get started straight away. The case studies of successful home business owners showed how others have succeeded. The home business owners talk about how they did it and what problems they faced.

What I found most helpful were the sections on business selection and planning. There are simple checklists and questions to find out what type of business you are most suited to and likely to be successful at. It would be really helpful for someone feeling unsure about what type of home business would be best for them.

The business planning section shows that a home business can be much more than just earning a few extra dollars, it can be a viable, long term income if you plan for it. Writing a business plan for a home business is really simplified with the checklists. This was really worth doing and made me think about the future possibilities of my home business.
