I have a son that will soon be 3 years old and I would like to be able to spend more time at home and deal with the 8 to 5 rat race.  I have been trying to come up with a good home based buisness idea, but keep hitting a brick wall.

I am late 30`s male that loves automobiles!  Like the TV show is titled "Car Crazy"  I have been tinkering with them since I was 14.  I never got into "ball" sports, nothing interested me unless it had wheels and a motor.  I have built several national award winning show cars.   I have worked in the Automotive biz for about 13 years.  I have always been in parts, Starting out in Truck Customizing and for the parst 4 years, selling original and aftermarket Mercedes Benz parts.  I have considered a ebay parts store, but there are tons of them on ebay and the internet in general.  I unfortunatly don`t have a ton of money to invest right now.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

hi Chvymtl3,

Have you ever thought about creating a blog? With your expertise, write about the things that you know about cars, parts, etc.  With that you can also create an e-commerce to sell the parts.

In the meantime, you can use craigslist and the likes to put Free ads for whatever it is you are selling.

I use Craigslist and few other sites to sell a few extra/un-needed parts, that has worked well, but I am looking for something a little more niche market.

Have you tried looking for forums for Car Lovers or something like that.  There are forums for all interests.  That could be a place to start looking for that niche.  Also you could start a blog about cars.  You could develop readers that could become future customers.  You could get free access to a video tutorial that walks you through setting up your own blog.  You can access this at

Hope this helps,

Well said by Ltressel and hjgauthier, you should start your own blog and try to build your reputation. You can sell all over internet but source will be your blog, try to promote your blog through forums and other community based sites.

 

Ideas for a home based business for a car nut is already in you just try to listen yourself, try to ask yourself "what would you do if your engine knocks?". If you are a layman then you will hunt places where you can find the solution and internet is definitely one among them. Doing business through online will not will get you money but also increases your visibility and reputation.

That is true, and Reputation can make you or brake you, so you would do good to put your picture and as much personal information about yourself so your potential clients will see you as a real person.
