You can also write about learning how to program or you can think about other interests and create products from them. You're not restricted to the world of programming. If you have a hobby or other skill you could just as easily build a business from those things. Best of luck to you.
IF you are programmer, you should know something about internet job. but you might be busy with your little kid as well so. like they said content writing might be a good job in spare time. host a site and make money from it is good but you need time to do that. anyway i will tell you more about what you can do later if i ahve a free time too. XD

Just want to get started, i'll keep you'll posted on the progress Thanks again
well you have to be enthusiastic about your CHOSEN topic and then start the BUSINESS online. In this way you can get much attention yourself for HOME BASED BUSINESS than taking any unrelated topic(s) which you don't have knowledge and command.
