    HOME PARTY OR SALES CONSULTANT BUSINESSES

    We've all been approached with these types of business opportunities. You have parties, take up orders and sales product for some sort of commission. If you're great with people, like to get out for gatherings, and don't mind being aggressive, this type of business could be for you. If you choose this type of business, choose one that has great products that you can get behind, and good commission percentage. Also make sure the opportunity has been around for a long time and is reliable.

    Ones to try:
    Mary Kay, Quixtar, Tupperware, Discovery Toys, Usborne Books, Pampered Chef

  2. Step 2
     

    DO WHAT YOU LIKE AND EXCEL IN

    If you're a yoga guru, start your own business as a yoga teacher. Teach classes at a local gym. If you love fitness, get your license and become a personal trainer. You'll be happier doing something you really like. If you're great at making crafts, make and sell your own crafts on ebay and in local shops. Those who love kids may wish to start a home day care. If cooking or cake decorating is your thing, start a business making birthday cakes or other tasty treats.

  3. Step 3
     

    WORK AT HOME WITH YOUR COMPUTER

    Some typical computer-based home businesses included medical transcription, virtual secretaries, and marketing from home. If you're a writer, you could write, edit and proofread from home. Business or technical writing may also be for you. Internet marketing is a potentially lucrative business that can be totally run by computer in your home.
