You'll spend nothing more than your time and knowledge for such a job and you can get enough money to develop your own business.
Whichever your best abilities and skills would be, just put them to work. Demand for writers, illustrators or even for typists is so huge over the Internet that you don't have to worry about getting a job.
The best places to start looking for such a job are freelance sites and forums. Get in touch with the people offering jobs and show them what you are capable of. Submit samples and take tests, if necessary.
