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 another person would rather watch TV than take care of dogs.
The 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.
Dan Ramsey in his book "101 Best Home Businesses" has a chapter on how to find YOUR best home business. He suggests these 10 steps:
1. List 5 things you do best
2. List how others would benefit from what you do best
3. Find out how to give people what they want
4. Learn the value of your services to others
5. Find out who else offers similar services
6. Learn from the successes of others
7. Learn from the failures of others
8. Plan your own success
9. Make low cost mistakes
10. Enjoy what you do and how you do it
He then made suggestions on the best home businesses according to type. Here are a few of them:
Best Businesses Using Craft or Physical Skills
- antique restoration
- auto detail service
- carpet cleaning business
- errand/delivery service
- housecleaning business
Best Service Businesses
- bed and breakfast operator
- caregiver
- catering service
- senior day care center
- tutoring service
Best Professional Businesses

Have you thought about going into business for yourself?
Think of all your interests & ask yourself if any of those could be expanded into a business. Just keep in mind...what's your expertise? What are your interests? What could you imagine yourself doing?
By researching the prospect of starting your own business -- what it entails, what you need to know, helpful hints, etc -- you'll feel better prepared to take that plunge.
I found some book titles that are relevant to your specific question:
* 101 Internet Businesses You Can Start from Home by Susan Sweeney
* The Best Home Businesses for the 21st Century by Paul Edwards
* Selling Online: How to Become a Successful E-Commerce Merchant by Jim Carroll
* I Could Do Anything If I Only Knew What It Was: How to Discover What You Really Want and How to Get It by Barbara Sher
* I Don't Know What I Want, But I Know It's Not This: A Step-by-Step Guide to Finding Gratifying Work by Julie Jansen
I also posted some article links in the source box.
Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

Perfect? Keep looking. But if you are looking for something that works, think about these opportunities. People are always looking for information on how to make more money, or how to learn how to sew or something. Point is it is a very profitable business once you break into it. So you may want to check this site. I have a couple of the products and they really helped me get going. Thing is, I'm in charge of it and I don't have to rely on some downline. Good luck.

It took me years of searching the Internet for the "Perfect Home Business" I had tried many scams, schemes and got burned many times before I got involved with this opportunity.
http://www.moneyflowforlife.com/pips
It is not "Get Rich Quick" It is "Get Rich Slow" with a whole community of fellow Internet marketers to help you build your business fast.
The best part about it is that it is fully customizable, so you can always add new Income streams to it.
I am very happy with this business and I have learned alot about Internet marketing and making money online with it. Do your research there are many scams and programs out there that will promise you everything and make you broke. I learned my lesson before starting my perfect home business.
Good luck in finding your Perfect Home Business, and remember never to give up. It is a learning experience, and most importantly is to stay focused on one thing. It is very easy to get distracted when running your business online with other opportunities

I guess it depends on what you mean by Perfect?
I have worked several over the years and believe I have found the perfect one for me because I started earning money within the first 2 days, and because I help people with a variety of health issues all using only one product.
The other thing that makes it perfect is the timing, the baby boomers both want and need this product....It sells itself.
