I'm 23 years old and I've been on a off about starting a home based biz I seen the travel biz is the new trend, advertising, mystery shopping, selling candles, and a few others. I'm trying to ask people who are doing well, but not so well that it sounds too good to be true. Something with a low start-up cost. would be great. Right now I'm working at Home Depot in the lot, boiling in the sun ( Florida ). The job market is really slow in my area and my bills are beating me down. I know a lot of you would say " find a better job" " thats life deal with it" blah blah blah I've tried these things and It's not that simple . I'm just looking for some ideas I would really appreciate it. What are the hottest business trends right now. I'd be willing to invest a lot of time. Also I would be willing to possibly take out a small loan. Really looking for something where I could make $1000 a wk or close to it. Thanks for reading.

The job market is decreasing alright. A lot of people are getting into home based business. Don't chose a home based business on a "trend" because once the trend goes away, then so does your income. Look for something that is in high demand, something that is a necessity and people can't go without. Something people use on a day to day bases and pay for regardless if it's trendy or not. Something that changes with the consumers needs and wants.



There are so many different home based business to start up. Most home based business cost under $500 to start.



Not knowing what you like to do, I'm not sure who to refer you over to and get information from. I can tell you what my husband and I have for the past 6 years and refer you over to my blog that I created on Home Based Businesses on my 360 page. Your more then welcome to go and take a look for some more ideas. We have built our home based business and it supports our entire family of 6 (we have 4 children ages 10, 6, 3 and 1)



We got involved in the Telecommunications industry,. We picked this one because the income opportunity is just incredible, as it is in most home based businesses. But in this, it seemed more practical. Who do you know that's going to give up communications? They're always going to use some sort of phone, rather it's a land line, cell phone, Internet etc. Even when the trend in this changes, so does the company as well as keeping the "old ways" of traditional things. We partnered up with a 15 year old world wide company that offers services that people use every day and pay for anyway. Services like Local and Long distance telephone services, Internet, digital, video, VOIP, Satallite TV, and all the major cellular phone providers as well.

How many people do you know, or know of around the world that uses one or more of these services? I think just about everyone has one or more of these services. You save people money on services that they are already using and paying for, and offer them services that they don't have, but would like to. Every single month these people pay these bills that they are going to every month, you make a percentage. You get paid every single month for these services over and over again. This is a very profitable business to get involved in.



If you'd like more information, your more then welcome to email me at anytime. Like I said there are hundreds of different home based business opportunities, you just have to find one that is right for you. Hopefully I gave you an idea and a few more to take a look at for yourself to decide on.

Well, I mostly work at home. I am a consultant for a company called Pure Romance. We are an in-home party business. We take pride in selling the best products in the industry, as well as educating women about sexual health and promoting healthy relationships. Our parties are a lot of fun. :)



The amount of money you earn is based on how much time and effort that you put into the business. The more parties that you hold, the higher your sales are, and they higher your profit is.



If you would like more information, just e-mail me! I am actually looking for women to join my team. I would love to help you get started running your own business.

The hottest business trend? In my opinion Personal Development. (Think Anthony Robbins and "The Secret")

Americans spent $9b last year on personal development products.



Check out my YouTube video for my experiences (good and bad) with various home businesses http://youtube.com/watch?v=i5ZMgycKRPQ

Yes there are...and there are also alot of scams and MLM's that have been around too long and saturated the market.



Recently I found ITV Ventures and after doing quite a bit of research and comparisions; I found it to make the most sense to me. It's a new company, it has a multi-million dollar marketing budget that it shares with you and you can easily start building a business selling quality products through television infomercials.



Feel free to check out my website below and let me know if I can answer any questions for you.



My name is Julie and my email is julie@workfromhomeops.info



Look forward to hearing from you.

I feel your pain! I too wanted to work from home but was bombarded by too many websites, each screaming that they have the answer and that I could make a million billion dollars next week. I finally stumbled across a video on Youtube that started me on a process that answered a lot of questions. I have since then become convinced that network marketing is the way to go.



If you are looking for trading time for money then this answer probably isn't what you're looking for. Network Marketing is like any other business, it takes lots of hard work and effort and may take a while before it begins to pay you. HOWEVER, it has the potential to keep paying you once you get it going. Another bonus is that you can continue to work at Home Depot while you build your business as well.



I am involved with a group called Mentoring for Free which gives GENERIC network marketing training..meaning you can use what you learn in ANY company. However, we can also help you to choose a company which would be the best fit for you. (which can dramatically increase your odds of success.) I have never before exerienced such a level of support and encouragement, which everyone needs when starting their own business.



This group has also shown me how to go about networking using the computer and NOT by bugging my friends and family. (A huge relief for me. My first company encouraged me to call 100 people that I knew, which I DID DO and met with embarrasing results.



If you want to know more, you can contact me through my yahoo id which is mlmhelper.



I hope that this helped!

If you have a talent, skill, or interest, you could build your own website with SBI. They teach you how to do it, how to earn multiple streams of income from it and how to drive traffic to it.

Cost only $299.



Check out the videos. You'll have a laugh at some of them as well as stirring up some ideas for yourself.

Hey. I see you have received alot of answers already so maybe I could just give you a few tips to help you make a good decision for yourself. You definitely want something that you will enjoy and here are a couple more things you may want to consider.



1) Huge expanding market - In other words a product that is not obsolete such as vinyl records or cassette tapes. Something that is in demand and has room for growth.



2) Unique & Consumable Products - If your product is not unique you will compete on price and convenience. If your product is unique then people must come to you in order to purchase it.



Success in business requires repeat sales of consumable products. This allows you to produce an income residual income from repeat orders of your initial effort.



3) Timing - This is basically market trends. Study what is in demand today such as natural alternatives which is big right now. Find a trend and get in front of it.



Just take your time when selecting a company so you make the right decision for yourself. Make sure you choose a solid reputable company to work with.



I have been in direct sales for 6 years now. If you would like to take a look at the company I chose you may visit my website at http://www.MiaBellaDollars.com

I am with ytb travel network. Dont know if you have researched it but its a good company with a good compensation plan. This is how it works... First you make commissions off of travel booked through your website (60% of total commission for flight, hotel, car etc). Tthen you make money off of the websites themselves. You get $50 for every person who starts their own company and every 6 people you get $1000 bonus and it goes up from there. And not just from you even from the people who sign under you and under them and on and on. There is no criteria that you have to do a month. You just sell the websites and refer people to your website to book their travel. If you want more info on this you can go to my site at www.jsgetaway.info or you can e-mail me directly at jsgetaway@yahoo.com

My husband and I have been doing it for a couple of months and it has been pretty good. Sometimes its hard to get people to look at the business but when they do, they see the big picture and start up. I think thats true for any network marketer out there. But I believe that any of them will work its just how much effort you put into it. I chose the travel because I know its what everybody does, its not a product that you have to sell, it sells itself.

If the travel network isnt what your looking for I wish you the best of luck!

They will pay for your first 37 days with them, no strings attached, so if you don't like it, you don't have to stick around.

$10/month after the first 37 days is the lowest price you'll find to start a home based business, so don't miss out on the offer!

Hi



Whatever home biz you start you will have to be patient, really work it and be prepared to build gradually to your $1000 per week. But what you're wanting to do can be achieved and I wish you every success.



I scoured the Internet intensively for months trying to find a legitimate, stable, well established and affordable, good paying business.



I have been really stringent, I google every business for scam reports, check out their owners and contact successful Internet affiliates. There are a lot of scams and rubbish out there, especially 'type at home' opportunities and I've found surveys to be a waste of time. Be careful and do your research.



My diligence has paid off. I have found one, highly recommended by well respected and successful affiliate marketers.



This business is an International Lottery Club, for the Florida Lottery, running now for 12 years and there is not one complaint about it, have a look at their website and check them out through google if you want.



This is the only business that offers you the chance to become a multi-millionaire twice a week. There is an average of 200,000 winners every week.



Plus you can Get Paid, whether you win or not. Not only do you make $25 (per month) for every single person you bring in, and income from all the people they bring in, but you also share in the winnings of all the people under you - no matter "who" brings those people in.



Come on as a Team Captain to maximise your earnings.



Make sure to write me if you join, or if you have any questions. We can work together and I'll help and support you in every way I can!



Take care and best of luck to you,

Bruce.
