I have just completed my associates in Business and my associates in Liberal Arts. I suppose I will go on to get my bachelors in Business. But I have no idea what type of job to pursue. I would love to open my own business or even work from home but I have no idea of what type of business or where to start.

I don’t want to choose a business that has an over saturated market. I have seen so many businesses start strong and then fail. I do not want to do the same. So pretty much I am looking for recommendations. I am trying to avoid too many startup costs. I am looking to open a business that stable and profitable of course.
I am eager to learn any trade. I have thought of scrapbook stores, childrens’ boutiques, etc. but I know I should think bigger. I am currently in sales and my husband is an automotive technician. We have two children and would love to maximize our time with them. Any ideas? Any success stories? Does such a career even exist?
What is the best way to market a home scrapbook business?

My husband and I started a small side venture business called ExpressScrapbooks.com (http://www.expressscrapbooks.com/).
The idea is that people can log on to the site, chose their scrapbook “theme” (birthday, wedding, pet, etc.) and download their photos directly onto the site. We print the photos out ourselves, put together the scrapbook and then mail it to the customer. We’ve tried a few things, but are having a hard time marketing this… does anyone have any good ideas?
