Top 5 Hottest Homebased Businesses to Start In 2006

2006 is right around the corner and we want to help you get a jump start on the hottest businesses you can start from the comfort of your own home. As times change, people have different needs. I have done a great deal of research based on what the needs of the public will be in 2006 and have come up with a list of some of the hottest potential businesses to start in 2006 based on them.
Online Auctions: Yes, online auctions are still one of the fastest and easiest ways to make money on the web and they'll continue to be. They aren't going anywhere. Amazon and Yahoo.com are joining ebay and will make online auctions even bigger in 2006.
Virtual Assistance: The beauty of the digital age is that not everything has to be done in person anymore. With today's technology anyone can operate a business from anywhere. Many companies are opting to use virtual assistance over actually hiring physical bodies. Virtual assistants usually work from home and help new companies get started and handle day-to-day tasks that a busy, traveling business owner can't handle.
Tutoring: Tutoring is often looked at as a small side gig that can help make a little extra cash, but I challenge you to begin to look at it as a serious business in 2006. Writing will soon be added to the Scholastic Aptitude Test and many experts think that most students won't be prepared. This should open up a huge demand for skilled tutors. Even if you aren't exactly a Chaucer, you can hire a team of tutors to work for you and you take a profit percentage of each session.
Personal Training: With working out becoming as American as apple pie and baseball the personal training and fitness industry is expected to boom in 2006. More and more people are now body conscious and in need of help from skilled, trained professionals. It is becoming more and more difficult to become a certified trainer because there have been many bogus trainers popping up. The National Council of Health and Fitness ( http://www.ncsf.org ) is a great place to find out how to get certified.
Unique Carts: Renting or buying a small cart that sells one specialty item is a low-maintenance, easy way to make some big bucks. One that has been really taking off is specially coffee/espresso carts. Specialty coffee drinks generate gross profits of 55.1 to 61.5 percent per cup, says the Specialty Coffee Association of America. You can bring your cart to sporting events, concerts, farmers' markets, festivals and anywhere else you can think of. A great way to increase profits is to eventually get yourself several carts.
