It is very nice to have a website, but to actually earn money with a home computer business, well that's a whole different story.
More to the point, most home based businesses just never make it off the ground. People seem to get enticed with the notion of "working at home" and neglect the "earn money" part of the deal. Most home based businesses were created because the owner liked the idea of a work at home business, and that is a valid starting point. But it is only a starting point.
Home businesses, like all other businesses, were created to make money. Repeat that to yourself like a mantra until it really sinks in. Otherwise, all you've got is a nice hobby that costs you money.
Yes, working at home is a great deal. No boss (besides yourself). No time clock. Flexible time schedule so you can attend to family. Working at home is typically far more challenging than a typical job, letting the entrepreneur really stretch his wings.

Home Computer Business
All earnings are based on selling something. Even if you work for someone else, you are essentially selling your skills, whether that skill is picking apricots or balancing books.
When you work for someone else, you need a skill that a company is willing to buy, i.e., pay you a salary. With a home computer business, you need a website that is about something with a value. While most topics have some value, there are two big considerations here:
1. Some online topics are more valuable than others. For example, ""making money on the stock market" is a more valuable topic that "raising daisies".
2. When looking for a topic, remember that you can sell both products (e.g., cookware, ebooks, travel) and services (e.g., teaching Italian, your bookkeeping services). You can also sell someone else's products and/or services via AdSense ads, like the ones at the top of this page, or via affiliate sales.
There are literally thousands of options for creating a strong home computer business. (Our top 100 choices are in "Your Home Based Business", above.)
It is also an excellent strategy to create multiple streams of income. This, in fact, is typically the very best way to earn money with a home computer business. It means that you don't use just one income stream, like AdSense or ebooks, but that you use several income streams. For example, a site on beauty products could have a number of strong income streams:
There are a number of other options, but this gives you an idea of what is possible.
So the beginning point is to Identify A Topic To Earn Money With A Home Computer Business.
Truly, once that topic has been identified, all else falls into place.
I know we would all like to make a million, but realistically that isn't going to happen. Independent websites typically earn from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars a month, and some make $10,000 or even more. That still places you waaaay ahead of those sites that never make any money at all (which is most of them).
When you set out to earn money with a home computer business, set realistic goals for yourself, find a topic you truly enjoy, and go for it. Your only regret will be that you didn't do it years ago.
