The best home business that you can be sure is not a scam is one that you start yourself. It 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 other people's dogs. Or one may tell you landscaping is great but if you can't even grow a weed, then obviously it is not for you.\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\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

you have the right idea,,,,if you are under 18,, I would suggest trying to find a business partner of legal age,, if you are in the usa,, get a dba, a "doing business as" license,, you just need to decide on a name and register it,,,then perhaps use that same name as your domain name,,                \n                   yahoo has a great deal domain names for 4.99$ i think it is, then for less than 15 a month you could build a website with them,,,, again find a partner who can help you in this area,,, put some thought into your prices and what you want your website to look like,,, being a photographer you can probably put it together yourself very easily\n                   If you are limited money wise,, you could use your yahoo 360 page, or if your isp provides you with web-space use it, at least get the domain name... you can always use it with your e-mail and website,,, but do not rely on just the internet,, make flyers and put them around town,, tell your friends and family,,, maybe have special gran opening prices,,, etc,,, be a little creative if you have a digital cam,, lots of kids want their proms and graduation filmed,,, also weddings, anniversary parties, birthdays, charge resonably and you will make good money. I did it for extra money one summer.

I recommend checking out the SBA, Entrepreneur, The Start Up Journal & Nolo. All 4 are great informational resources for the new/small business owner. I posted links for you in the source box.\n\nAssociations may be a good avenue to explore as well. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links. \n\nResearch, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can about the industry. Here are some book titles that are relevant:\n\nHow to Start and Manage a Printing Business: A Practical Way to Start Your Own Business  by Jerre G. Lewis, Leslie D. Renn\nFree Money for Small Businesses and Entrepreneurs by Laurie Blum\nFinding Money: The Small Business Guide to Financing (Small Business Series) by Kate Lister, Tom Harnish\nFinancing Your Business Dreams With Other People's Money: How and Where to Find Money for Start-Up and Growing Businesses by Harold R. Lacy\n\nThere are plenty of free informational resources out there. Check the source box for links to articles.\n\nHope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

$500K sounds like alot to start a coffee shop/music venue. What I would do is find a location and try talking to the landlord about helping to finance the deal. If you have a good business plan and can show how the improvements to the property would benefit the landlord, he/she might be interested. Happens all the time. \n\nFind a dealer in used equipment instead of new to cut your costs. Often times supply companies in the restaurant biz will finance the used equipment on favorable terms, because chances are they just repossessed it from a failed business. They are often receptive to investing in start up businesses that have potential.\n\nOther than that start going after friends and relatives. But you really need to sharpen your pencil and cut the start up costs way down. Maybe start smaller and expand as cash flow improves. Coffee shops alone are a tough way to make a buck unless you are Starbucks who buys everything cheaper than you can and has systems in place to squeeze profits out. They also have such great brand recognition that people who don't even really like coffee go there anyway.

If you are broke, then you need to find someone to put up the money for you. It is not easy - first you've got to have a really exciting idea that would work.\n\nIf you cannot find someone to loan you the money or invest with you in the business, then you can scale down your project at the level you can afford (e.g instead of dreaming of a McDonald's franchise, create an online business for $100) or be willing to really work hard and push your imagination to achieve your dreams. Go the slowly-but-surely route.\n\nThe following articles may give you some inspiration:\nStarting a Business with Little Cash http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol30/nocash.htm\nLow Cost Start Up Ideas http://www.entrepreneur.com/lowcostbusinesses

Communications will always be a good business. In fact, I've been trying to figure out how I can get my hands on $7000 to buy some equipment and start my own business. I can more than double my investment in just a year with the idea I have.

No unless you already have some things you can sell on EBay.\nThere are a lot of people like you around and they often get taken advantage of by hustlers.\nA legitimate online business has start up costs unless you become an affiliate. But you do need to know how to do search engine optimization and make web pages for that. I actually made a great deal of money as an affiliate but put a lot of time and effort into making web pages.

Your best bet is to use the resources available. look for your local Small Business Development Center - they're a non-profit organisation that has many people - 'counselors' - available to help people start up and maintain their small business. I believe it's free... I may be wrong, but it's definately worth it. They will be able to find for you everything she needs to know to start it up and help her through the building up process

It’s exactly like a .com website, only it’s easier to find the domain name you are looking for in the .ws genre. The ws in .ws means website.

Either way, lots of money can be made by promoting either the website, affiliate program or both.\n\nBy signing up, you will receive your own top level domain name of your choosing, hosting, as well as all of the promotional tools and support you need to make your business successful.

Do a "Apprentice" like tasks where that you could split girls & boys. Have them come up with fake or actually small businesses. See who makes the most money by the end of a time period.  You can incorporated assistance with local banks & business to help. I think it would be fun & a learning experience
