Five Home Online Work Ideas


1. Online Sales

Some independent, home based workers buy and sell products and skills online.  Among the best websites for the sale of goods and services are ebay, etsy, craigslist, and Amazon.

Buy like-new inventory, priced below wholesale, by visiting local yard sales, thrift stores, flea markets, and statewide factory outlets.

If you live near enough to a wholesale outlet, you can save a lot on shipping costs.

Idaho's main discount factory outlets include Boise Factory Outlets, featuring 16 stores, and North Idaho Outlet Mall in Post Falls, with 6 dicscount wholesalers to choose from.


2. Scan Craigslist.

Scanning craigslist for jobs or gigs is a legitimate, at Home Online Work opportunity.

Click on your geographical area, then click on Jobs, then be sure to check the Gigs section.

Apply for all jobs that you can do and that are cost effective. 

The key to success in landing gigs on craigslist is persistence, well crafted intro letters, and a Professional Resume. 



3. Contact Big Businesses.

Many major corporations have many online jobs to offer.


Here's a list of Idaho's largest employers:

  • Albertson's retail food markets
  • Blue Cross of Idaho
  • Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center
  • First Federal Savings Bank
  • Idaho Power
  • Idaho Banking Company, based in Eagle.
  • Intermountain Gas Company has offices throughout southern Idaho.
  • J.R. Simplot is an agricultural business headquartered in Boise.
  • Micron Technology is a business that designs semi conductors in Boise.

4. Build a Website.

Building your own website (as opposed to having someone else build it for you) is a crucial at home online work strategy. 

Look up web building packages online. A well made SEO website should cost no more than $300 a year to maintain, if you build it yourself. All-inclusive software packages will guide you through the process. 



5. Become a Freelance Professional.

Here are some examples of businesses you can start from home in Idaho:

  • After School Programs
  • At-home Childcare

Advertise your services online by posting ads on Ebay, craigslist, your website, and social networking sites, among others. 

Have business cards made (or better yet, make them yourself). Hand these out to people you meet who may be important business contacts. 


All it takes is a bright idea and persistence to enjoy maximum profit from a minimal investment.
