Hello,



My name is Melinda and I have had a successful home based business for a while now. I decided to get together with my self-employed friends and family and create a free website to help others start their own business (and avoid scams). If you are looking for more information check out our site:

Great Home Based Businesses

We have specific pages on:

- Hundred's of Great Ideas for Home Based Businesses by Category

- Resources for Selling from Home

- Resources for Providing Services from your Home

- Avoiding Scams

and a lot of other pointers.



PLEASE NOTE: we do not have a business or product that we want to sell you - our site is all about providing information.



My key pieces of advice in picking your business:

1. Do what you know and love.

2. Follow your instincts.

3. Figure out how to provide value to your clients.

4. Talk to successful home business owners that you know and trust.

5. Whatever you do - try not to limit yourself to one income source - one of the best ways to grow your small business is to open yourself up to other income streams. If you start a catering business maybe you could also teach cooking classes in your house, or if you start house cleaning business then you could also stage houses for sale. This approach has been invaluable to me - allowing me to get through slowdowns in my "core" business.

6. Accept that "get rich quick" schemes only work for 1 in every million people and generally require illegal activity - instead try to build a lasting business that will continually pay you a reasonable amount.



As for specific ideas - there are hundreds - most of the ones we discuss on our site relate to you selling your own products (e-books, crafts, antiques, designs, CDs, DVDs, knowledge via website) or selling your own services. We generally recommend that you not pay someone else for the right to promote their products but develop your own. Contrary to popular belief - everyone has some skill or knowledge that is valuable. We also list a lot of services provided by companies to help you start your own business, sell your products, provide your services and collect money.



Anyhow - that's my two cents - Good luck with your business - I'm sure if you do your homework you'll be very successful!!

Hi,



In my opinion, there are good online jobs available. Over the last 2 years I have been working online as a virtual customer service rep for a credit card company. It’s honestly a very easy job---I mainly answer e-mails, add features and address general inquiries.



If I can give one piece of advice though when looking for an online job---NEVER pay a start up fee to join a work at home company or directory. Very few legitimate companies will require you to pay them in order for them in turn to pay you. It defeats the point! Moreover, there are plenty of free sites available!



Depending on your skill set---there is a huge range in employment opportunities you might be interested in, both part time or full time—anywhere from data entry and transcription services---to virtual customer care---to writing articles/product reviews to webpage design.



For a list of very good companies and directories that I’ve been successful with and also a guide to avoiding online business scams see:

(The companies listed should not charge any start up fees nor hidden fees down the road)



I also make good extra money answering paid surveys. I’ll usually spend a couple of hours a day answering surveys and l make approx $40 a day = $950-$1200 a month. For the most profitable free sites see:
