5 truly legitimate home based business ideas

We know there’s countless work at home scams. Legitimate home based businesses can be hard to find. Often these ideas require lots of connections, capital or ground work. But I can propose some solutions.

I”ll share with you three jobs I’ve tried my self. And two others I firmly stand behind. They require little to no money to start. But please take note, they do require skills and training. I’m not into easy escapes, but I am into low capital startups.

If you decide to try any of these, expect to put in at least one month of training. That’s not too much to ask, is it? Otherwise, you might want to help a friend or family member start a home based business.

Also, try to have a few dollars to pay for essentials like paper, pen and a phone. And a printer won’t hurt either. If you’re reading this you probably have access to a computer. So you most likely don’t need to get one.

1. Number of Objects

The objects on a site are images, JavaScript files, CSS files, video and audio files. Even Flash files are objects. Count them. You don’t need any special software for this. To check the number of JS and CSS files, just press CTRL+U and the source will give you the details.

Then trash or combine some of them. Try to bring it to under 20 objects. The key is to improve latency and increase speed.

How to Create a WordPress Template in 5 Minuets

Note: WordPress 3.0 was just released (06/17/10). So I will probably need to update this post after testing WP3.0
