Have you considered starting a small business out of your home?  Are you looking for a way to make extra income at home that doesn't require tons of time and effort? There are some good resources available through the small business association that will help you lay out a quality business plan to help you get started.  Lack of proper planning is usually the downfall of every little company that fails in its first few years.  Once you have a firm organized approach you must then take that and apply it to your business.  Many of these types of businesses can be run right from your home, in a small office, the garage or a spare room.  Keeping your business area separate from the rest of the house will help you to maintain a professional approach to the business.  You will also want to keep your  bank account and book keeping separate from your personal finances to make year end tax filing much easier.  Dont just jump into a venture without fully thinking it out utilize your local SBA to get the necessary information to get started properly and hopefully you will have a well established home business.
