With so many opportunities online, you can easily start your own home business with a computer, Internet connection, desk and chair! Whether you want to start a part-time or full-time home business, here are some excellent home business solutions to consider.1. Make Money Online by Offering Web-related ServicesIf you’re skilled in Web design, graphic design, Internet marketing, or other Web-related services, you can make money online by offering these services to others. There are many homemakers and business people just like you who are getting online to start a business. They’ll need their own website, hosting, domain name, company Web logo, and Internet marketing services. If you can provide these services, you’ll have a terrific opportunity for residual income. Many of these services are paid monthly or yearly, so the potential for success is amazing.2. Educate Others and Work from HomeIf you have special skills and love to teach, there’s good news. You no longer have to apply for a teaching job at a school or university. You can now start your own training website and teach others from the comfort of your own home. The Internet is flooded daily with people who want to increase their knowledge and skills. Many moms and dads are now offering classes, selling e-books, and providing instructional websites all while staying home with the kids. It’s a great way to make money online without paying high daycare bills!There are also unique home business solutions online where you can sign up with a company that provides training to students for you. You can potentially earn a huge residual income by promoting their educational services.3. Join an MLM OpportunityMLM has grown tremendously in recent years thanks to online technology. More and more people are making money online with MLM because it’s so much easier to communicate using online resources such as email, websites, and instant messaging. If you decide to join an MLM company, be sure the company is trustworthy. Investigate before you sign on, or find a company that will investigate for you. A good place to start is a dependable MLM directory. These companies will investigate many different home business solutions and list only those that are legitimate and that offer the most profit potential.4. Niche Home Business SolutionsMany homemakers are earning a substantial income by offering niche products or services. For example, the mother who loves to sew baby clothing decides to sell her items through her own website or through consignment websites. Or, a father who loves to do handiwork around the house starts a “handyman” e-zine and sells related products and tools. A young college student discovers the secrets to college life and starts his or her own “college life” newsletter. The possibilities are endless. Other niche home business ideas include baking, hunting, fishing, musical instruction, handmade crafts, handmade furniture, parenting, pets, weddings, gardening, and sports.5. InvestmentsIf you like to take your chances in the stock market, investing is easier than ever on the Internet. Many homemakers make money online by investing in Forex, the popular and lucrative currency exchange market. Some earn money with traditional stocks. If this is your passion, you can now do it from home with minimal effort. Please be careful, as there are many scams with companies trying to get you to invest in fake stocks. Check out every opportunity carefully, and keep your funds safe by dealing only with reputable, well-known stock companies and brokers. No matter which home business solution you choose, use online directories and the testimonies of other online business owners to help you find the opportunities that will fit your schedule and budget.

New Showoff.com Empowers Homeowners to Visualize Home Improvement Projects

Plan your next project using Showoff.com’s powerful Visualizer technology

Sarasota, Florida (PRWEB) November 09, 2011

Homeowners planning home improvement and landscaping projects can visualize their dream home and yard — and avoid costly mistakes – using the new Showoff.com, a free online tool. VisApp LLC recently launched an extensive new version of the already-popular site, which now connects homeowners with suppliers and contractors.

Almost 120 million homeowners are taking on various home improvement and landscaping projects, according to consumer and media research firm Scarborough Research. With Showoff.com, homeowners upload photographs of their homes and use free design tools to visualize projects, including landscaping, remodeling and interior design projects. Homeowners can choose just one project type or plan a comprehensive makeover for their home or yard.

The new version of the site also allows users to browse catalogs full of real-world products and review information on potential contractors who can help with designing and implementing homeowners’ plans. More than 370,000 users have registered at Showoff.com since it was first launched. PC Magazine ranked Showoff.com the top home improvement application among The Best Free Web Apps of 2011 and 2010.

“If you’re going to invest time and money — and your heart and soul — into home improvements, you want to envision the finished product. Showoff.com empowers homeowners to visualize their projects at the design stage, select products, share their vision with friends and family, and even request bids from contractors,” said Showoff.com creator and VisApp founder Bobbie Ayers.

Showoff.com provides an Inspiration Gallery containing a catalog of homes and images representing different styles, colors, textures and products available in the marketplace. Homeowners upload their own photos, then select and change interior and exterior paint, doors, windows, roofing, exterior siding, columns, decks, landscape plants, fountains, patio furniture, and much more. Suppliers provide the product information and images, so homeowners can view real-world, brand products in their projects.

According to Ayers, the new Showoff.com connects homeowners with the professionals who can help them realize their designs. Homeowners can review qualifications and previous projects of contractors such as remodelers, landscapers and interior designers, among others. Homeowners also can request bids from contractors directly from within their own projects.

The new Showoff.com also includes enhanced design tools, such as the Color Schemer, which is not available in any other paint application, Ayers said. Homeowners select a main paint color, then view complementary colors from the color wheel for the ideal accent colors. Designers, home stagers and contractors save time by selecting a favorite base color from 16.2 million hues, then choosing up to three additional colors that coordinate with the base color. Color Schemer converts selected colors into HTML, CMYK and RGB formulas for ordering custom paints.

“The tools in Showoff.com are easy to use for the hobbyist, but sophisticated enough for the most discriminating professional designer or contractor,” Ayers said. “Our goal is to make designing and planning a fun, creative pursuit, while empowering homeowners to make real-world buying decisions.”
