   in any legitimate business there’s always either fees or the purchase of products to start,
   unless, well… I may need someone to sell some products for me and there’s no fees and no need to purchase any products but I’m looking for someone in the UK.

   You can always get into drop shipping. All product is handled at the factory. All you do is sell the product through your web site, set your prices above the base prices and send them the orders. You get the extra revenue and they deal with the customer and the product.

   Your best source is Worldwide Brands. They deal with legitimate companies who drop ship. Never look for one on the Internet. Those are called middlemen and they will rip you off. There is good money to made in drop shipping. Like any real business, you have to work at it.

   If you are thinking about starting your own home-based business, the available options can be overwhelming. However, there are many tried and true home-based businesses that may be just what you are looking for. If you have a hobby and have the equipment already, you may be one step ahead of the game. Otherwise there can be a small to large investment to get started, based on what you choose to do.

   Here are 25 home-based business ideas, in no particular order:

   1. Personal trainer.
   2. Yoga instructor.
   3. Tutoring.
   4. Business coaching.
   5. Consulting.
   6. Medical and legal transcription.
   7. Medical claims billing.

   22. Cleaning service.
   23. Carpet cleaning service.
   24. A riding school.
   25. Child-care services.

   There are many more, these are some of the more popular ones. After you decide on an idea, you will need to prepare to be successful. There are three key things to consider as you get started: setting up your place of business, deciding on your price, and getting customers.

   Here are some of the questions to answer as part of the planning process:

   * Where in your home will you conduct business?
   * Will you have to make any changes for it to be suitable for your business?
   * Does your neighborhood or community require any special licenses or permits for you to operate your business out of your home?
   * What equipment will you need to do your job properly?
   * How much money do you want to make each week, month or year?
   * How much business will you have to do to achieve that goal, and what will you have to charge customers?
   * How will you reach potential customers — advertising, word of mouth, fliers distributed in your neighborhood, notices posted on public bulletin boards?

   I don’t think it exists Kath. I think you have to read some books on home business to get a clearer understanding of what is involved. You are essentially "buying" a business, therefore you have to expect some sort of investment. You don’t get something for nothing in this world.
   The trick is seeing past the investment and understanding what you can do with it. I invested less than $200 to buy my business and within a few days had earned that back plus a little income. I know people who have done 5 times what I did and therefore earned as much. I also know people who did nothing and then said the system is a rip-off. You can only earn money from home if you treat your business like a million dollar business and do what it takes to earn an income…also just like any other business.
   There are hundreds of excellent legitimate home businesses out there, you just have to understand that you have to purchase one, you won’t find one that is free, and if you do, don’t expect any kind of income out of it, chalk it up to being scammed.
