Ideas For a Home Based Business?

I am interested in starting a Home Bases Business. I am looking for new ideas? Anyone else looking to start a home based business? Did anyone already start a Home based Business that can give me starting advice?

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

    First ask what you love to do…If money wasn’t an object what would you be doing at this moment. Are you a people person. Do you like to help people.

    I have been blessed to have an at home biz that I absolutely love. I have been with this company for 5 years now and it just keeps getting better and better. We do work with people to teach them how to destress for their health. We do it in the privacy of their home with some of their friends or you can do it in yours. The choice is up to the person. We have spa treatment and the best skincare products on the market. Skincare is formulated to compete with dermatologists not cometic companies. And the are very affordable. Products actually sell themselves, I am not a sales person and I don’t have any problems with sales. I work this part time and work full time outside of the home. So this is SO EASY. I earn anywhere from $2700 plus sales to $6000 plus sales per month. We are the very first company to bring the spa experience to the privacy of the home. This company not only pays well it also rewards you with monthly and yearly bonuses. Each month you can earn rewards, to help with your business but 3 times a year you can earn trips to exotic places. You can also earn cash bonuses, jewerly and cars.
    So far in my 5 short years working part time I have earned trips to Hawaii, San Francisco, Monaco, Italy, France and Costa Rica. I have earned a New Ford Mustang Convertible that is mine to keep no matter what, and cash bonuses over $5000. I have also earned lots of jewerly. So much I can’t wear it all.

    Last year I made over $20,000 more annually doing this business part time than I did my full time job and I have a master’s degree.
    It is very rewarding!!!!
    I hoped this helped and you can contact me if you have ANY questions

    Have you thought about trading on Ebay etc. I can send you some information on where to source product from ie drop shippers and wholesalers.

    Develop your own product or service ? Create a list of what you are passionate about, what you have a lot of knowledge about, something people may come to you for advise on. Then locate a niche market "A group of people who are searching the internet for a solution to a problem and NOT finding many relevant results" There are plenty of ways to do research on this.

    Become an affiliate and earn commission by recommending someone else’s product. Again, I can send you some links where you can find programs like this.

    My site contains courses that are endorsed by the Internet Marketing Centre. If you are serious about starting an online business I suggest you take a look. Its a violation of Yahoo policy to post links here. Just reply and I’ll send it onto you.
