There are a few interesting articles on Helium on the topic of Business ideas for the introvert. As would be expected, the businesses listed allow the individual to work alone and with minimal interaction with others. I was surprised to note, however, that none of the authors suggested virtual assistance, which is my own line of work, and a field that is growing by leaps and bounds. Although the services offered by virtual assistants vary according to the skills and interests of the individual VA, they may include many of the tasks mentioned in the above articles, e.g., graphic design, writing articles, blogs, and/or web content, ghost writing, preparing brochures and leaflets, website development, and research.
In addition, since VAs typically work from their homes and conduct most communication via email or online with only occasional telephone calls or in-person meetings, it allows them to focus on a task for long stretches of time without interruptions, just the way they like it.
You can find more information about virtual assistance at the Virtual Assistant Articles Directory. Maybe it’s just what you’ve been looking for!

I’m so glad you mentioned virtual assistants. I am a VA and one of the things I stress to my clients is when you are freed from administrative tasks, you can do what you do best and not be mired in daily tasks that hold you back.
One really great product for those of you thinking of hiring a VA is http://tinyurl.com/26fbn8
