Does anyone know of good home based businesses?

I am looking for a good home based business that doesnt require me to get others signed up.. More like a data entry or what not that is not a scam .. any ideas.

The best home business will depend on what you want, how you define to be interesting. A person may consider a pet sitting business to be the most exciting work in the world, while another person would rather watch TV than take care of dogs.

The key is to determine what your interests are, what you want to do, what is suitable for your lifestyle and your overall goals, and what can fit with your resources.

Dan Ramsey in his book "101 Best Home Businesses" has a chapter on how to find YOUR best home business. He suggests these 10 steps:

1. List 5 things you do best
2. List how others would benefit from what you do best
3. Find out how to give people what they want
4. Learn the value of your services to others
5. Find out who else offers similar services
6. Learn from the successes of others
7. Learn from the failures of others
8. Plan your own success
9. Make low cost mistakes
10. Enjoy what you do and how you do it

He then made suggestions on the best home businesses according to type. Here are a few of them:

Best Businesses Using Craft or Physical Skills
– antique restoration
– auto detail service
– carpet cleaning business
– errand/delivery service
– housecleaning business

Best Service Businesses
– bed and breakfast operator
– caregiver
– catering service
– senior day care center
– tutoring service

Best Professional Businesses
– desktop publisher
– magazine writer
– import/export service

    You could consider becoming a web designer. You just need a computer, a high-speed internet connection, the right software, some technical know-how and an artistic eye.

    There are a lot of resources where you can get information on how to build websites and charge people to create and maintain them. A lot of individuals and small businesses are willing to pay someone with those kinds of skills for promotion, marketing, selling and contacts.

    if you have good typing/computer skills, data entry is good. I just started as a medical transcriptionist working independently at home. You don’t need a degree or certification in this, but any classes on medical terminology would be a great help! If you want more info on how I did this, contact me.

    This is for people that are serious and who don’t want to be misled as we have tried many things and have found a company that has been around for 21 Years and pays you to advertise for them. My wife and I just started and are doing well. It is not an MLM company and no selling, no deliveries or stocking product. My wife’s aunt has been working with this Company (Melaleuca) for a little over 3 years and home schools 3 kids and makes $9,000 a month. It is a 500 Inc company and the CEO is on the U.S. Chamber of commerce board. I can arrange a web cast with my wife’s aunt for you and you can decide by yourself and WE WILL help you be successful. It is an honest Win Win.
    If you want to see a web cast (presentation) from your home let me know and I will arrange it as that truly is the way to see all about Melaleuca. Have you heard of it. We have just gotten started with my wife’s aunts help as it is a team effort and it is fun. Just a quick F.Y.I. 8 out of 10 people that see the web cast join the company and 95% of the people that join re-order product each and every month. Let me know when you are ready and we will set up the web cast.

    Thanks,
    Rich & Teresa

    I suggest you to do Data entry job. It will not make you rich but you can make some quick cash at home by simply entering data .It is a simple program that any one can do.You may not make huge dollars in a week but you can make comfortable living from it, only when you work with the legitimate data entry companies.
    I would recommend you to check the website below where the top data entry programs have been reviewed by the experts.

    Another way to earn is through Surveys. Paid survey do offer a lot of potential, if you work with the legitimate survey company.
    Also check the website below where the top survey on net have been reviewed by the experts. All you have to do is sign up with the company of your choice . They will send you survey via email that contain link that will take you to the survey site . They pay you anywhere from $5 – $75 for each survey which takes about 10- 15 min.
    Browse through the site to find the right program for you.
    Hope this helps

    go to http://www.wahm.com (work at home moms )
    They have tons of ideas!
    Pampered chef, party lite, sentsy. Check out my profile if you want. I am also in direct sales.

    The only way you will get paid with Passion Parties is if you do parties or sell the products. They are done just like a Pampered chef or Party lite party. You make 40% of you sales. The average party sales are $500..Only takes 2-3 hours and you have put a couple hundred in your pocket. It is fun. I don’t know how the other companies work but Direct sales are pretty much the same, they just pay different.
    Good luck

    If you have a graphics program like Photoshop or can draw well, go to The Hot Tees ( http://www.thehottees.com ) There is a banner at the bottom of the page that is flashing and says *free set up *free stores. You can try setting up a shop for FREE! It’s really good. The company they go through has been around for quite a while and they handle all the customer service, credit card handling, products, etc. You just make the designs, upload them, and pick out the products that you want to offer that design on. You will love it.

    Lia sophia jewelry. It is a direct selIing company. I have been a lia sophia advisor for almost 3 years now and make a fantastic income. I work part time, but make full time pay!! You make 30% of what you sell and you have the OPTION to sign up others, you don’t have to. Some advisors sign up others, some don’t. That is what makes this so good, you have a CHOICE. It is great, especially if you love jewelry.
