Difficult to guess what you would like to do next but I am sure if you put
the idea out there it will come to you as inspiration, you will know by how you feel whether it's the right move for you. Good luck and God bless

Good luck! It ain't the product but how you sell it!!
So just pick something you enjoy and away you go....

Re: 7
I have been thinking about poetry greeting cards too... althogh it's not a huge money maker, I keep reading over and over again that within ways to make money from writing/poetry, trying to build up a greeting card following is one of the best ways... good luck

I am thinking too...
... I will think for you too and let you know if I think of anything!
I had to stop work a year ago due to a breakdown and I am not able to work yet. Since January I have begun selling my books on Amazon - I had a LOT of books! - it has so far gone really well and I've sold enough per month to upgrade to 'pro merchant' status. It is not a fortune - but I have certainly made at least £700 (more if in dollars). I still have a lot to sell and have been finding out the best ways to get books cheaply to sell (which so far seems to be from library book sales as charity shops in London are very expensive). Even if it stopped right now, I have been able to pay quite a few of my bills so far and this has increased my confidence.
I suppose my second 'venture' is Blogit :) Although I am venturning into eBay now and again too...

I guess it all depends on where you live and what your competition is. I’d like to have a flower shop but I live in a small town and there’s already a well established florist. I used to have my own business – marketing financial products – but knowing my competition was key. I had to be unique and different. Now, I think I’m going to use excerpts of my poetry to create greeting cards and I know the local florist will carry them in her store. It’s not exactly a big money maker but I’m retired so it would simply generate some shoe shopping money.
