Answer 4

There are a lot of small business. It could make money, but not efficiently. If you looking for a part-time job as a second business, yeah, I have one answer.

GDI. (Global Domain International.Inc)

They are selling .ws(as "websibusinessin instead of .com

Origionally, "dot ws" is the small country, Western Samoa's national domain given as other countries in the world like, "dot us".

Two founders bought that name and started to sell it to big web company, such as

dot 3m.com → dot 3m.ws

dot google.com → dot google.ws

dot bmw.com → dot bmw.ws

dot hyundai-motor.com → dot hyundai-motor.ws

dot sega.com → dot sega.ws

dot rolex.com →dot rolex.ws

dot sunkist.com → dot sunkist.ws

dot chanel.com →dot chanel.ws

3 things better than other affiliate web bussinesses.

1.no risk.

starting with no money for 7 days.

after that you pay $10/month.

2. have future( ws is easy to remember as "WebSite")

and broad field to challenge

3.simple and powerful

Basically, you are paid $1 per month, per domain, that is registered

in your 5 level network. A uni-level compensation plan is the most

simple plan in network marketing,(I do agree with this) and the key

to there quick growth.

(every month per that same person you will be paid

<-- this is an important part because most others don't)

And I am doing this business with my nursing study.

Legal, reasonable and simple.

I suggest joining some reputable work-at-home forums/communities where you can review or join in conversations with others in the same situation. They also have specific folders on different companies/jobs so you can learn about different opportunities.  Some good forums are:

Answer 11

First have some common sense. Only you know if you truly have it or not. There is no making tons of money overnight. It always takes time. It is always more complicated than it seems.

I put an article link below. It is from a guy who became a millionaire. I have talked to him on a couple of occasions now and am following a few of his ideas.

His path comes from hard work and finding out what you like to do. Read some of his other articles.

Answer 12

It depends on what industry and what type of home based business your venturing into.  There are several different ways to have home based business.  One is starting something all by yourself, with no help, another way is to collaborate in a company that would already be well established and run your business out of your home.  These two ways have completely two different ways to go about starting up.  I know plenty of people who started home day care centers, charter companies, travel companies as well as telecommunication businesses out of their homes.  All have different ways to start up.

I already listed different kinds of opportunities out there.  But if you need more detailed information and to be able to look into different industries, I suggest you read this article on home based business opportunities.  It will give you information on your question, as well as show you what kinds of opportunities out there per your detailed message.

Answer 13

This is a fast growing network marketing company, it provides a very popular and needed service and products on the internet... and the BEST REAL business opportunity for everybody with no exception--> a completely necessary service, mandatory on internet, it's a web hosting service, (hosting is a service provided by a company which offers a physical location for the storage of web pages and files. Think of a web hosting company as a type of landlord, they rent physical space on their servers allowing webpages to be viewed on the Internet)  There are millions of web pages on the internet, (and every single day grow more and more the quantity of webs) and absolutely ALL OF THEM NEED a hosting service.This company pays you to refer users to this hosting, just imagine the huge potential!!!  

Get paid U$ 5 per direct referral and U$ 1 per indirects (referrals of your referrals) and GET FREE $ 50 EXTRA BONUS for 5 direct referrals, that means, for 5 directs you'll get 5x5+50= $75. Make residual income with this real big business, and take advantage of some communities, such as hispanic, and others too, you can refer this service to anyone around the world, the tools for working are in 23 languages. Register at http://www.NegocioGrande.info

Then all that you have to do is referring people with YOUR LINK (it's a web page that the company will give you when you become a member) and you can promote your page as many ways as you can, and of course, the company and I will give you many ideas and tools to do it.

Any questions e-mail / MSN [e-mail]

Answer 14

What are you good at?

What is your long term goal?

Making lots of money or just some cash to help out?

If it is to make some good money - then there is lots to learn.

First of all. Can you sell? If not - you are going to find it hard. But it is easy to learn.

Find your product or service - and start approaching people.

Get the phone book out and start ringing. You will soon see how hard it is to knock down the doors. But - if you practice - you can become really good at it.

Then you need to deliver.

If you don't like this idea - get a product and sell it on eBay. This has to be the easiest option by far and your audience is huge.
