1. Sell Products Online. You can create a simple online shop and begin to sell products online. If you aren’t creating your own product you can always do drop shipping. Drop shipping is a retail fulfillment method where an online store sells stock it does not have, instead, when a product is sold, it purchases the item from a third party and has it shipped directly to the customer, the merchant never sees or handles the product. You can also create your own private label.
2. Start A Woodworking Business Do you love woodworking? Even without a huge workshop, you can create some of the more popular crafts and sell them. And like most things, your success in business isn’t necessarily related to how skilled you are as a woodworker. So, if you can figure out which products consumers want and just create those, you could have a good business plan. Amazon.com, Kijiji.ca or ebay.com are great places to start selling.

Cleaning Out Foreclosed Homes With there being as many foreclosed homes out there as there are, the bankers (who now own the houses) don’t want to clean them up and they are willing to pay hefty sums for those who will.

This kind of opportunities still exist, and if one can dedicate one’s time doing this, in no time, you can be financially free.
