So I developed a chronic illness years ago. It makes working outside the house pretty much impossible for me. I ran my own business for a good while, but it’s struggling. I have all kinds of random skills and abilities, but I don’t really see how they fit together in the context of employed work, so for all intents and purposes, I would have to consider myself as someone with little experience regardless of what I might do.

In the meantime, I’ve been studying web development, and that’s probably what I’m going to try to do, but I was just wondering what other realistic possibilities are there out there for someone in my situation? I just want to see if there’s anything I’m not considering.

    You might consider a vlog documenting your efforts. It’s a fairly saturated market, but if you can put out content regularly and tell a good story about what you are doing with an interesting style you can turn a marginal business into money-maker with the additional income from viewers who are interested in watching your story.

    It’s not easy, and it takes a variety of (learnable) skills and some time to get going, but you can work on your own schedule from your house and potentially take advantage of your collection of random skills.
