Work-At-Home Basement Creations
Who knew there was a market for “iPoo”?
Kimberly Smith of Kent was looking for a creative outlet and maybe a little extra cash when she quit her job as a clothing designer at Nordstrom to stay home with her two young boys.
She took her computer, a heat press and “a pretty sarcastic sense of humor” into her basement office and started cranking out T-shirts and baby onesies after her kids were asleep each night, stamped with phrases like:
• “Mommy drinks because I whine”
• “Boob man”
• And the top-selling, Apple-inspired “iPoo.” (Also available in “iPee” and “iPuke.”)
Nearly 725 sales later, Smith’s little basement venture is bringing in nearly as much as she earned working full time — “except I get to do this in the hours that suit me.”

Wow that’s a great story. I’ve been trying to expand my work at home “job.” You’ve given me some great ideas. I have had success with the online work at home companies such as Treasure Trooper (http://workonlineprograms.blogspot.com/) adn others. Check out my blog to hear about my experiences with these programs and which to avoid and which to join! http://workonlineprograms.blogspot.com/
