Small home or cottage business ideas - what have you got?
kosine:
In the UK there's a company that sells a cheap beginners electronics kit on ebay. They've sold thousands of them, and the components are nothing special.
What sells it is the documentation.

I suspect it's a defect combined with people looking for a reason to upgrade their television.

The failure rate of a startup is 99% in the first few years. :-\
If in need to ask the question of this thread, better get a job.

I used to replace capacitors in ECU's, mainly from Toyotas (late 80's to late 90's, the capacitor plague years) when I was back in Australia.
I'd charge about $80 including return express post and name brand high quality caps and made a good $60 or more profit per ECU. Used to take me half hour tops per ECU from the moment I sat down to the point it was packaged ready to send out.
Also did LCD TV's and monitors too. Get them free, a few bucks worth of capacitors and sell for insane profit margin.

For many perhaps that is true, a job is much easier than generating your own income.
However there's lots of us through circumstance, planning or retirement for whom a small side business can be a source of fulfillment as well as generating some income.
