I have found the best type of business to start up is a home based business. You have the same income opportunity as a traditional business has, and you also have less over head to pay for each month. Most everything in your house, is part of your business, which becomes tax write offs. Your telephone, computer, heating, electricity, car etc. Less over head, less bills to pay out then a traditional business which means MORE profit. Home based businesses are also cheaper to start up then a traditional store front. Most only cost $500 to start. They're also easier to maintain. With the business experiences that I have had, the best type of home based business to have, I feel is collaborating with another business. In doing this, it lessens the stress factor that a traditional business has, yet you have the same income opportunity, no overhead, no buying and re-selling, no bills to pay. So everything you make, is basically a profit! That's what we did quite a few years ago. We collaborated with the largest direct selling Telecommunications service provider in the world. They market in Local and Long Distance telephone services, Internet, video phones, digital phones, VOIP, Satellite TV as well as all the major cellular phone providers such as Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, Alltell, Nextell etc. We save people money on services that they already have and can introduce them to services that they don't have. Everytime these people pay their bills, we make a percentage over and over again each month. This business gave us the opportunity to be able to start up our non profit organization and have the monthly funding come in that was needed for our programs. If this is what your looking for, and have any questions, feel free to email me at tvague@seafaringopportunities.org

Hi Jasmin I suggest you look into online business. Easy to start with minimal overhead costs and you can work from home. I'm building an income promoting online club memberships. I started my business on a low budget and I'm starting to see some good results. I'm now in profit after working at it for about six weeks. I searched the Internet for months for stable, well established and well paying online businesses. So far I have only found one that I am sure is honest, is simple and straight forward and which pays well. It's different and people are really interested in it. There are a lot of scams around and a some programs make great claims but don't really pay much. Be very careful of anything you go into in online businesses. Do a proper scam search on anything you look at before joining. The business I'm in costs me $50 per month to participate in, but I'm already making that back and I'm in profit. I'm no marketing guru, so if I can do this anyone can. If you want to join I'll help you with everything I know about online promotion. You really need to know about promotion to succeed with any online business. My email address is at the website so you can contact me if you have any questions and if you join contact me and I will help you to start earning. www ...

I am very partial to Internet based businesses. I've owned several types of businesses in the past, and e-commerce ventures are the easiest to do, and more importantly, they are the least expensive to start up. You can start an e-commerce website in a matter of hours and for less than $200. If you would like a very detailed, step-by-step process for starting an e-commerce website, visit my blog...It will not cost you anything but the time it takes for you to read the article. If you find the information helpful, please leave me a comment. Good Luck! Russ

I recommend a network marketing business. There are tons of them on the internet, they are a business in a box. I found one I'm very happy with so I can tell you they do exist. In choosing what you want, I suggest, 1. Getting testimonials from people that do not have a stake in you signing up. This can be difficult, if everyone upstream gets paid on your sales you are not getting objective input from them. There are work at home business that to not have the multiple upstream pay model. Mine is set up this way and I like it better. 2. Choose the product that is being pitched very carefully. Is it a shelf product? (food, lotions, cosmetics, etc.) if so, be prepared to have an inventory investment which means you will need to track inventory and restock. Having inventory readily available is an important part of your income. Is the product something you believe in? It is very hard to sell something that you do not believe in. My products are not shelf products and that has made things simpler for me. I sell personal development products based in the ideas in The Secret. 3. Who is going to be your customer? Will you be looking to friends and family to be you initial customers and host parties? If you've been on the receiving end of one of these pitches, you know it is not a pleasant experience. I'd recommend looking for a business that gets customers the old fashion way, advertising and word of mouth. 4. How will you learn to be successful? Is there a mentoring component to your organization? If something happens to the person that signs you up what will happen to you? Ultimately, you are the business owner, but make sure you are not left in the cold the minute you get started. As far as the cost, keep in mind, you are buying a business. This is not a job you are applying for. I'd be very suspicious of a business that does not cost anything. Startup costs can be very low, but you need to be prepared to spend some money (advertising, business cards, etc.) Just make sure there is an upside and that you really believe you can make your investment earn money. The most IMPORTANT thing IS: Does this business give you the lifestyle you want. Chances are that you are looking for a business because you are not satisfied with your current situation. Make sure your lifestyle goals come first in all the decisions you make. Keep looking, you will find what you are looking for! If you are interested in learning more about my business.

the question is not so much about starting a business...it's more about learning to market whatever business you choose to start... anyone can start a business, but the most important thing that people fail to realize that you have to educate yourself on HOW to market... and that's done by promoting yourself first in a home based business that's either online or offline...you have to brand yourself and be a leader to really achieve massive success... the best possible business online or offline would be network marketing... now I can share details about a biz opportunity that doesn't require any start up cost and yet can pay big dividends if and only if you can commit yourself and learn how to market...and we provide training... so if you are interested than contact me at freecash4lyfe@gmail.com but remember, no matter what business you choose, your success will depend on your marketing knowledge...it doesn't matter if your company or business offers the best product out there because people join people in business...your product or service is what preserves those people as your business partners...however, you must brand yourself and market yourself as a leader...and to do just that you have to educate yourself... i hope that helps...
