What are some good small businesses or home-based businesses to start with little start-up?

Answer 1

Go for the internet business, which requires less of your time and the one that will not make you feel headache with web designing, or which require IT knowledge. Second, choose the internet based company which offer you the opportunity and at the same time giving you the convenience to start the business. Third, choose the business, which does not require big money to start it.

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:

* The Best Home Businesses for the 21st Century by Paul Edwards
* Selling Online: How to Become a Successful E-Commerce Merchant by Jim Carroll

* Making a Living Without a Job : Winning Ways For Creating Work That You Love by Barbara Winter

I also posted some article links in the source box.

Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

Answer 3

This is what I do, and make easily $500 a week.

First I bought some purses and sunglasses (cheap but the higher end of the cheap stuff). for sunglasses I recommend you look into fashionwholesalers. The purses needed to be nice but under $8 a unit. You can also look on liquidation.com for other ideas (but be careful), you really only want to buy new items, not shelf-pulls.

These items then become a base to start selling at flea markets and on Ebay. Try increasing your hits on ebay by listing your items with old abercrombie and fitch shirts you can buy for 50cents a piece or anything else that is a popular ebay sell. Also remember Ebay is seasonal and the winter is much better.

This is how I started, but was not enough and I wanted more, so I made so friends at the flea market and learned their strategies. The easiest and most profitable, but undesirable is picking garbage. Now I hate this task, and I would love to say I dant do it, but on garbage night I will drive around and only take good things. DONT pick through garbage cans. Some examples of things I have sold recently are coffee tables, pictures, bikes, couches, bean bag chairs, and little tykes toys. Only the big things laying next to the garbage. Some people garbage pick and make over $300 dollars a day at a flea market, I just use it for an extra hundred bucks on top of the purses and sunglasses. I recommend my strategy.

Other people will go to church rummage sales, and other things of this nature to get goods to sell. You should go on the last day if you plan to go to a church rummage sale. One person I know sell food products that are donated to churches, so the churches can have a fund raiser and sell off of the items. Instead of the fundraiser they just sell the donations to him.

It is also very lucrative to look around the flea market for under priced items to sell on Ebay. Today I sold a router for $65 that I bought for $2, and I bought a battery today for $1 that I can sell on Ebay for $40.

This is the easiest job in the world! I make great money and all I do is go the flea market twice a week, go to the post office twice a week, and maybe grab some trash once or twice.

I know parts of it may sound gross, but really its not, I have found two beautiful leather couches in the last 2 weeks. You cant tell me that obtaining $100 worth of merchandise for free is gross.

As a side note I also sell watches. I have found though that many people sell watches at flea markets though, but lists of these watches dont have working batteries. I put a big sign out advertising the fact that I change watch batteries for $5 and I make decent money that way.

So in conclusion, I do this with my girlfriend and we are 22 years old with no start up money and we are doing great. Good luck to you!

Answer 4

I, like everyone else here, believe that my home based business is a good one. Fortunately for me, others think so too.
I work with a company that's been around for slightly over 20 years. They are recognized and awarded by the BBB and Inc 500, just to name two. The start up cost is 14.50.
