I can really feel your plight. Its not easy out there and all it takes is a stroke of luck to make you or break you....

I think there is plenty of potential left on the net for new business start ups but its hard work and requires as much commitment and dedication as any brick and morter business. The internet is a new venue but a business is still a business.

Right now your worried and stressed which is to be expected given the pressures on you and your mother at the moment but sometimes the 'easy' way is nothing more than the long way round. Instead of focusing on what can make a quick buck, focus on what you, or in this case your mother, are good at and start from there.

Does your mother knit? I have a collegue who enjoys it as a hobby and one day she pointed out a site where people were selling knit items for $40 usd on up to $80 for a sweater. Cost of materials shouldn't be too bad although I dont know what that kind of stuff goes for.
