Asking myself the same question, for me the obvious answer is translation and proofreading. For others with different skills there could be graphic design, web design, writing articles for newspapers, CV checking. Party planning both in the products representative sense and in the events sense. Bake cakes. With Skype you can do telesales from home or video advice or tutoring sessions. If you're talented that way make a Youtube video and gain money from the ads, or start a blog / website to the same purpose, but you have to remember profits are small so it only works with big traffic.
Working from someone else's home you could house-sit while doing any of the above.

I know it's generic advice but just throwing some ideas in the mix

having a blog can earn you great cash providing you market it and make it one of the best this can be difficult as you have to invest alot of time usually otherwise things like avon can earn you extra cash

What sort of work are you looking for? if its a permenant first income, there are some professions that are home based...Business Development Management for example...

Do bear in mind that almost all of the 'opportunities' on the internet are not real, they are a con.

A lot depends on whether you just want to earn a bit of extra pin money or a real income. You really need a lot of marketable skills and contacts for the latter.

Ebay is a jumble sale for anything and everything. Its not a case of what sells in greatest volume, its what you can sell at the biggest profit...

One week it might be boxes of candles, the next it may be a snooker table...

Try looking at it a little differently. Example...you spot an item which you know a bit about, you think you can resell it, and it appears to be for sale at a price where you can a)afford it and b) sell it on at a profit...so you take a punt on it...

I have just had a look at Business Development Management jobs and I am looking into it further. Good tip. What qualifications do you need and experience?

True that acs its all about being able to make a profit. Ebay is hit and miss but you just got to persevere. Some weeks are good and others not so good.

no definitive qualifications, mainly experience and business acumen....a good head for selling helps too. your best best is to google your question, you'll find role profiles amd prerequisites for such a job...
