Well, it depends on what skills you have. Can you cook? Can you fix stuff? Can you design Web sites? Can you sell?
Here's the straight, unsugared truth: if you have no skills, stop dreaming that you can work from home -- or from anywhere else. You need to have a skill you can sell.
Now if you don't have skills, learn one.
Today, as I was doing research for one of my clients, I came upon the TESDA site. And there I found a treasure trove of short-term courses one could take in order to have a very marketable skill!
I wanted to list them all, but they were so many, I eventually gave up. Anyway, here's my partial list of the courses you can take from TESDA:
