Try Avon. I joined AVON about couple of months ago, because I needed a flexible, home based business, with no investment required.

With AVON you don't pay anything up front, you can put in as many hours as you like, and you can work anytime you like. There is £15 admin fee, but you don't even that pay upfront. They take it out of your commission in your first order. For that admin fee, you will get free catalogues for first 2 campaigns (there are 18 campaigns in a year - one every three week).

The good thing about this is that AVON is a reconigzed brand, so you will find customers who trust, and like the brand, which is always good, because that would save you all the selling work about explaining the product.

Basically, you get the catalogues from AVON, which you give to customers. You collect their orders, send it to AVON, and give them their products. You can do these with a child, whether walking, or in a car. AVON also gives you customer area very close to your home, so you do not have to make any long journeys.

And if you do find that you love it, you can go on to become a Sales Leader, which is even more money.

If you find that you don't like it, then you can quit anytime, without any penalty to yourself. So for investment free business, this is ideal, because you loose absoloutely nothing.

Hope it helped. Good luck.

There are next to no jobs of Homeworking and the likes. There are several reasons for this.

Think about it as if you were a company. Would you send your expensive stock to an address that you had no confirmation of existing unless you have time to go there, and you still have no confirmation that they live there or will be there indefinetly, for the prospect that they might perform your task, on time and not just bin it all and split, or bin it all and get more, or take too long, or any other ideas.

Take envelope stuffing:
Leaflets to print cost maybe hundreds or Thousands of pounds, envelopes cost more money, labels more money. All this money that a company would be risking sending to someones house.

Then there is the issue that the private details of the clients of the company is going off a company premises, which as well as being risky is in potential violation of the Data protection act UK 1998 (Private data must be carefully protected by the company, if it is off premises, they loose some of the control of it), still guarantees that the Job will be done.

Lets do Data Entry:
Your a reputable company with a global customer base. Would you send your valuable customer Information to a random house for a stranger to look after. and Proccess it in some way.

Doing that would contravene the Data Protection act 1998 (The data is outwith their control, so could be seen as breaching the Act) and you would have to possibly pay to insure house as a place of Business.

Telesales:
Some Random company offers you a job where you phone a database of numbers trying to offer the products of that company to the General public. Trouble is, when you go to claim your phone expenses, the company has Ceased to be.

These all seem legite on the face, or like good Business ideas, but there are flaws or other reasons that it can’t be possible.

Why not just go and get a job like most normal people, or change your living habits to live within your salary. Or you could start a Business, But thats a different subject.

Why not try selling second-hand stuff through ebay? This is a practical and easy way of earning a small income and from there, you can save some of the earnings to invest on a business you really like.

All you need is a computer and the ability to market your stuff over the internet and you`ll soon be earning big bucks around this!

Good luck!

You can join a MLM company like Herbalife, Avon, Pampered Chef, etc (just make sure to do all your research before you sign on the dotted line). You can cook for senior citizens (make a weeks worth of cassaroles, etc so all the seniors need to do is snag it out of the fridge and heat it up). You can do house cleaning or be an "organizational expert" helping people organize their houses. Be creative & have fun!
