Do you own a home business? If so what do you do? Do you answer calls, place orders, customer service? And how did you get started?  \n\nTo answer my own question: I do not work at home, I am interested in finding something to do at home.

I sale stuff on ebay. It is so easy to make money it's not even funny. I don't know if you have children or not, but I have a 13 month old and it's easy to do even with her. All you need is a computer, a digital camera and something to sale. They even give free siminars in diffrent areas to help you learn how to sale.

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 you would rather watch TV than take care of dogs. Or some may say start a coffee shop but if you have no capital, then it may be hard. \n\nThe 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.\n\nDan Ramsey in his book "101 Best Home Businesses" has a chapter on how to find YOUR best home business. He suggests these 10 steps:\n\n1. List 5 things you do best\n2. List how others would benefit from what you do best\n3. Find out how to give people what they want\n4. Learn the value of your services to others\n5. Find out who else offers similar services\n6. Learn from the successes of others\n7. Learn from the failures of others\n8. Plan your own success\n9. Make low cost mistakes\n10. Enjoy what you do and how you do it\n\nHe then made suggestions on the best home businesses according to type. Here are a few of them:\n\nBest Businesses Using Craft or Physical Skills\n- antique restoration\n- auto detail service\n- carpet cleaning business\n- errand/delivery service\n- housecleaning business\n\nBest Service Businesses \n- bed and breakfast operator\n- caregiver\n- catering service\n- senior day care center\n- tutoring service\n\nBest Professional Businesses\n- desktop publisher\n- magazine writer\n- import/export service\n- income tax preparation service\n- event planner\n\nSome other home business ideas:\n\nTop 10 Home Businesses with Rapid Break-Even Time http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol33/breakeven.htm\n10 Profitable “Go-Out" Home Businesses http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol31/goout.htm\nLow Cost Startup Businesses http://www.entrepreneur.com/lowcostbusinesses/0,6617,,00.html\n6 Hottest Businesses on the Web  http://www.powerhomebiz.com/052006/web.htm \n\nYou can also check out the following books:\n\nTurn Your Talents into Profits: 100+ Terrific Ideas for Starting Your Own Home-Based Microbusiness \n The Best Home Businesses for the 21st Century \n 121 Internet Businesses You Can Start from Home \n The Best Internet Businesses You Can Start \n 101 Ways to Make Money at Home

well for my small home business my wife has become the accountant , the bill collector  bill payer , the answering service. so this year we have outsourced our billing to a CPA. they now run the payment and the collection of fees owed. this has allowed the wife to work less and allow me to do what i am skilled in doing which is appraisal work. \n\nso depending upon what you are trying to accomplish here i would say anything that can be outsourced is feasible. find out how wide of a target market you want to attract. if you want to be some ones answering service then how many different clients do you want or do you want to specialize say for just private practice Dr offices. that way you don't have to learn every ones terminology for  hey i am on vacation here. \n\nfor me letting me do my job instead of being the chief of everything was a big relief.

I love my job. I get to work from home and I work in an industy that I love...travel. I can save money on my own travel and I can make  money when others book their travel with me. I feel that it is a dream come true because I am working for myself and I can see the efforts of my labor. It took me a while to find the right home based business but now that I have it I am thankful.

You can be a franchisee of some company which deals in telemarketing, You can take the orders and pass it on to the head office from where they can parsel the required product to the customer. Hence you are just making calls from your home or recieving calls to sell products.\nOr if you are producing something on a small scale try selling that in your local market by advertising.\nThe products which u could sell from home which can also be produced by u could be cookies, decorative pieces, chocolates, snacks, anything which u can make and for which you do not require large resources.

Hi I am a work from home mom and I just wanted to give you a few tips while you look. I would say 98% of the work from home jobs have a start up fee So if you can not find one that is free then try to find one that has a small start up fee. Check all of them out with the BBB before you put any money into them.Also find something that you believe in and that you can support this will make your job much easier and allot more fun Good Luck in your hunt Misty

I have been looking for sometime, now and I cannot seem to find anything legit.  It seems that you have to work for a place 1st and then negotiate working from home-which does not really help us now, does it?\n\n\nI totally wish you luck-like I said, I have been looking.  Did you try the craigslist.com for your area?? it didnt do me any good (at least not yet) but maybe you might find something!

The best work-at-home idea is starting your own business.  That is not something you find on the internet - but something you create on your own.\n\nLegitimate work-at-home program should tell you - in writing - what's involved in the program they are selling. Here are some questions you might ask:\n\n    * What tasks will I have to perform? (Ask the program to list every step of the job.)\n    * Will I be paid a salary or will my pay be based on commission?\n    * Who will pay me?\n    * When will I get my first paycheck?\n    * What is the total cost of the work-at-home program, including supplies, equipment and membership fees?\n    * What will I get for my money?

i sell avon which is a similar sceme, i find it hard work at first, as you have to post to every house but once you know which houses order you have your customers. i only post to my known customers throughout the year and all houses again near xmas. its fairly reasonable for a bit of extra cash throughout the year for the hour you put in, definatly worth it at xmas time as orders are up. but all depend on how many customers you have who regulary order. i couldn't make a full time living out of it unless i became a sales leader (further up the lader) recruiting others. i only do it for a bit of holiday spends of xmas. i've been selling for 2 years now so cant be that bad. take a look at avon.uk.com. you might prefer that as there is no outlay (unlike kleeneze) and as long as you want to climb the ladder you can live of it. good luck\n\n\ni also make a small amount on
