Are there any legit home based businesses w/o investing??

Answer 1

There are some, but the question is 'are they really worth it'. The adages of you get what you pay for and it takes money to make money both definitely come into play.

A home based business that doesn't require any investment or startup money most likely will not provide you with the tools or information to succeed.

That being said, starting your own blog is free (www.blogger.com) and you can earn revenue from it by using an ad program like Yahoo Publisher Network. If you're creative and a good writer, and have an interesting topic, it is definitely a profitable enterprise.

Another easy way to make money is by taking online surveys. There are quite a few companies that offer surveys and they pay anywhere from $2-$60 depending on the survey and demographic. There's a place that offers them at http://www.debtcareguide.com/surveys.php

Another good idea would be to start reselling items on ebay, for yourself and for friends/family. Keep a commission for yourself and slowing build up that way. With spring and summer approaching, garage sales and flea markets present numerous items that can be purchased for very little (the money you've saved from your commission) and then resold at higher prices.

Answer 2

Probably not.

A business is when you work for yourself. No one is going to hand that to you for nothing.

There are jobs you can do at home while working for someone else. Those should not cost you anything. If they do, run far and run fast.

If you want your own business and have more time than money to invest, you can find many ideas at http://find.inquire-sbi.com

I've built two businesses with them. One makes money. The other is still just a baby. (This does take time. But building any business will take either time or money. There is no free short cut.)

Answer 3

I'm glad you're smart enough to have picked up on that most home-business are a scam.

If you want a legitimate home business, you're going to need marketable skills and to offer a service. Web design is a popular home business (though freelancing often doesn't pay too well). There's also housecleaning, tailoring, and catering.

Answer 4

I have found several legitimate work at home sites so far, and I made $500+ in October, over $700 in November, $900+ in December, and $700+ in January. They are free to join.

And by the way--never join a work at home program that wants you to pay up front. If they were making that much money, they wouldn't need to charge you.

Answer 5

This is not really a home business type deal. Really this can help you make a little extra money on the side. Its called http://www.myfriendbenjamin.com/ and they have a list of ligit sites that pay pretty well. They can also help you know the scam sites from the good ones and are willing to help you out if you have any questions. Good Luck in you Job Search

Answer 6

eBay is a good option. I am an eBay Silver Level Powerseller and have sold 12,000 items on ebay. My monthly profit averages $3500. I started off selling things I already had and it only costs a few dollars to cover the listing fees. As you start making money, you can put it back into the business to buy more inventory.

I can share with you what kinds of things to sell, where to find them, how to use eBay, about shipping, and how to get started immediately, with no financial investment.

You will find this guide helpful in getting started on eBay.
