In the U.S., a franchise seems to be the way to go. 95% of independent businesses fail, whereas nearly 95% of franchise businesses succeed.
That said, you still have to be careful about what type of business, and what brand. Look for growing market segments, and growing brands within that segment.
Getting rich in the U.S. is as simple as following this 4-step process:
1. Start a business
2. Build it up
3. Sell it
4. Repeat

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.

Compared to offline businesses, the investment required to start an online business is minimal. A popular way of earning money on the internet is by providing information and services. This can be monetised by advertising or charging a subscription. You can also make money online by selling products on auction websites like eBay or through your own website.
