Question: what kind of business can I start from home on a part time basis? 

Answer: You may want to read the article "10 Weekend Home Businesses" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol67/weekend.htm , which contains a list of low-cost businesses that you can to augment your income. These businesses can be run from home during weekends and your spare time, and it is from the Dan Ramsey book "101 Best Weekend Businesses," which offers 101 proven businesses that you can operate in your spare time without jeopardizing your full-time job. \n\nNote though, that unlike what the first poster said, a franchise is NOT something you can do on a part time basis. The franchisor demands attention to the business, and with your monthly royalty fees that you need to pay to them, you can't afford to slacken your pace
