The best home-based business ideas start with knowing your niche. If you are one of the many people with disabilities who wants to contribute, remember that you have certain skills, life experience, interests and values ​​that others may not, so finding your niche will be that much easier.

Here are the top 10 home-based (handicap accessible) business ideas you may want to consider:

1. Bed & Breakfast: especially for other people with disabilities. If you live in a big house and love visitors, this is a turnkey handicap accessible business to help the handicapped get out and travel. A great work at home business.

2. Pet sitting is a small business option for those who love to take care of animals on a temporary basis. I know many people who would like to get away for a weekend but have no one to leave their pets with who loves them as much as they do.

3. Jewelry Designer: Did you see Oprah’s show about 10-year-old Shiloh Peppin who wants to become a jewelry designer? Her disability from her fused legs won’t stop her from pursuing her dreams, nor should she stop you.

4. Gift Basket Service: Gift baskets can be designed in-house by the entrepreneur for specific niches and mailed to shoppers or made available at local specialty stores.

5. Internet Store – If you are computer literate, consider opening an Internet based business that sells affiliate items. You receive a commission for each affiliate item you sell to others. See my website for more information on affiliates.

6. Life Coaching: Who knows better than you what it’s like to survive and thrive with a disability or challenge of any kind? Many people are waiting for your words of encouragement.

7. Songwriter: For those who love music, why not write and sell your music for a living?

8. Recording Artist – If you have a beautiful voice, you can make a living by becoming a singer. Maybe your niche is jingles. Hey, someone wrote and sang all those McDonalds jingles. Or maybe your niche is spiritual music, rock and roll, or weddings.

9. Screenwriter – Write what you know. Tell your story. Everyone has already told you that your life is like a movie. Why don’t you share your story with the rest of us?

10. Motivational Speaker: There is a great need for motivational speakers. You could speak at churches, community organizations, business meetings, and even write and publish a book or e-book to motivate others.

If you were born handicapped or experienced a life-changing event and became disabled or disabled later in life, and want to work, you can and should.
