Tips & Warnings
  • The easiest type of business to start is a service business.
  • Example: Home Cleaning. Handyman Services. Interior Decorating. Window Cleaning. Computer Teaching and Repair. Lawn Care and Hard Work.
  • Clothing Alterations. Grocery Shopping Service. Bookkeeping Service, Etc.
  • Another type of home-based business to consider is Affiliate Marketing.
  • Here's how that works: Go online to "Click Bank Marketplace." Find an info product you think you'd like to sell. Contact the company and ask to be an affiliate. It's free to join. Pick a product that pays at least 50% commission.
  • The product owner handles delivery, collects payment. You automatically get paid through PayPal (It's free to join.) All you have to do is promote the website.
  • Advertising is your biggest expense. Ask me how to promote your business on little or no money. I have a list of "Seven No-cost Advertising Street-Smarts" I'll be happy to send you. See my e-mail address at the end.
  • In fact, I have a 40 page e-book titled "How to Start a Home-Based Business on $100 and Make Up to $50,000 a Year." If you sincerely do want to get rich, I'll be happy to e-mail you a free copy with no obligation to buy anything. Write to me at: johnjudeocallaghan@verizon.net
