What are some realistic possibilities for working from home for someone with a chronic illness and little experience? (lemmy.world)

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.

Learn how to crochet/sew/knit, get some hemp fabric/yarn, and start making some basic hemp things like granny squares and magic circles (advertised as hand towls and body/face scrubbers). Open a shop on etsy and start selling. Hemp stuff is making a huge comeback at least here in the US due to the 2018 farm bill legalizing it and it being an excellent fabric material with many boons such as superior strength (8x that of coton) thermal regulation for bed sheets, requiring half the water to produce more yield compared to cotton, being the most co2 absorbant crop on the planet, and replenishing the soil instead of draining it. People who care about the environment (and pot smokers) really love hemp and will pay good $ for quality products. Once you get some skill learn how to tailor/make clothes and you will be in a great place. Get a friend or family member to open a stand at a local farmers market a day or two a week, and if you are really successful get your own llc made and get tax writeoffs for all the yarn and fabric as business expenses.
