Not interested in anything related to Ebay or any other site/program of that nature.
Dont listen to the pervs. Try eBay, its the fastest way to make money.
ok so i want to set up an online business from home and i am looking for a website building site online… but i’d like to know if any of you have online shops and if you do what site do you use and is it a good site? thanks to anyone who replies to this!
Before you consider put the money into your web business, please study how you going to market it, as making a web shop is easy, marketing it is different things together, how people can find your website hence get new potential customers.
When you have a busines alot of times it costs thousands of dollars each month to keep the business going. I know of a business that only has a $50 dollars overhead fee and that’s it! To me that’s pretty good! I left some links below for you! Good luck with your search!
I have signed up to create several sites to market my business and attract people to want to find out more – now I need to get those sites out on the internet to start getting "hits", and I am not sure where to start. I can’t afford thousands of dollars to drive traffic to the site. And I need to grow my business quickly and that means I need to find people who would be intersted in finding out more about what I am doing. http://cyf.ownanewbusiness.com
A few free resources – check out the sources box for links:
1) Create a blog pertaining to your field
2) Use Yahoo! Local & Yahoo! Groups – Be sure to read the TOS for each one!
3) Write articles pertaining to your field and/or expertise.
4) Advertise on Craiglist
Also, consider signing up for an affiliate program. These programs enable you to advertise on other’s sites (your affiliates) and once a sale is made to you, your affiliates & the program are paid a commission.
I listed a few handy sites & articles relating to marketing, promotion & advertising. Here are some book titles that are relevant:

I was hoping to go into home-based business online, is there any legit sites out there.

You can sell goods or just provide a service. Give me some ideas. Thanks
A knowledge-based blog or message board like Slashdot.org
i have a few computer skills and looking for something where i can make some extra cash and that is not a fraud?
. Their are many different industries that involve home based businesses. I created a blog on my 360 page on home based businesses. Your more then welcome to take a look at it.
I can also tell you about the business that my husband got involved in over six years ago. It’s been very profitable for our family of six. We have four children ages 10, 6, 3 (almost 4) and 1.
My husband and I partnered up with a 15 year old world wide company in the telecommunications industry. They offer services that people use every day and pay for anyway. Services such as local and long distance telephone services, Internet, VOIP, digital, video phones, Satellite TV, and all the major cellular phones like Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-mobile, Alltell, Nextell etc work with them as well. How many people do you know, or know of around the world that use one or more of these services? How would you like to save people money on services that they are already using and paying for each month, and make a percentage of all these people’s bills? There is a lot of money in this industry.
If you’d like more information, feel free to email me and I’ll be happy to point you out in the right direction.

My wife and I are looking for home based online business that pays instead of charging.
I tried over 15 opportunities in the course of 2 years so I have some great information for you plus a list of top 10 work at home scams!
I am a mother of two little girls who are actually tugging on my arm as I write this so I will try to be brief. Many people are looking for work from home companies. All the scams definitely create a big problem but also, there is a problem of people misunderstanding the difference between work from home "jobs" and work from home opportunities. There really are not work from home “jobs”. To get that you have to start working for a company in their offices first, then they MAY allow you to take the job home.
Most of the work from home opportunities that are legitimate offers are not an hourly pay type job. They are business opportunities that help you in starting your own business from your home. What you should do first is to decide if you are simply looking for an hourly rate type job or if you are looking for more of an opportunity for additional income such as what you would make in your own business being your own boss from home. Small home businesses have some small costs involved, less than $500 to start is reasonable and I would stay away from those wanting $1000-$5000. It doesn’t cost that much to start and run a home business so you shouldn’t pay it.
If you are coming across places that say free then I would RUN don’t walk the other way! They never are. I tried them many a times and 3 weeks later I had to buy this and 6 weeks later that. After 6 months these “free businesses” had cost me over $800 on average.
After trying 15 things I now work about 18-25 hours per week for a National Medical Healthcare Company. This is a nationally known and reputable home business which is what you need to make sure you are looking for. I have been with the company almost a year and a half now and I make over $4500 a month! In your first month, depending on how many hours you can work, I have seen people make anywhere from $500 to over $2500. And your income will increase each month because you get paid residual income as well.
The best part is they have 401(k), direct deposit, life insurance and a benefits package most of which you get from day one. In addition, there are no products, no hard selling or pushing, no cold calling, no home parties and no telemarketing! That was VERY important to me. I absolutely love working with them and I can’t believe I am making what I am making and in so few hours per week. The neat thing is there are other people on your team that you work with so you are never alone. You have great team support and you get to know the other people on your team pretty well.
I was a bit apprehensive at first because I know a lot of companies are not legit but this company is the number one National Medical Benefits Company in the US. They are a member of the US Chamber of Commerce, and the National Association of Dental Plans and the owner of the company actually sits on the board of The Consumer Health Alliance to which we are also members. Also they were featured in “The New York Times”, “Wall Street Journal” “Time Magazine” “American Medical Review” and even in the May 2008 issue of “Parents Magazine”. Even “60 Minutes” did a big special on this home based business.
Even more then all this is they are accepted at over 100,000 retailers nationwide. These are fortune 500 companies like Sears, Target, K-mart, Rite Aid, CVS, Wal-mart, Publix and more. These companies would never work with a company that was anything less than reputable.

TOP 10 WORK AT HOME SCAMS:
10. Craft Assembly
9. Medical Billing
8. Email/Rebate Processing
7. "A List of Companies Looking for Home workers!"
6. "Just pay for and take this class first” Then we’ll give or find you a job!
5. Typing At Home / Data Entry
4. "Turn Your Computer Into a Money-Making Machine!"
3. Pyramid Schemes (this is NOT the same as Multi-Level Marketing MLM)
2. Chain Letters/Emails ("Make Money Fast")
1. Envelope Stuffing
Please beware of these scams. There are some legit home businesses out there so be careful. Look for companies in business over 10 years. Look for companies with a needed product or service, something you would be proud to represent. Look for companies that have a national reputation and are members of the US Chamber of Commerce.
As for those of you who say…..”I want to work from home but I don’t want to have to pay for anything”. Well, that’s great! But it will never happen. Let’s be honest, there is no such thing as a free lunch. If it is a true honest home business you need to expect to pay. Mr. Walt Disney didn’t start the Disney empire “without paying for anything”. Neither did Mr. Sam Walton, owner of Wal-Mart.

I am looking for places to advertise online for free or inexpensive. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I sell personal developement products. Prospective customers will contact me via my web site. I then call them up and try to make a sale.
There are a lot of free ads web pages, however, after so many days you will have to advance to premium level and that is what costs. Keep seacrhing. There’s a website called promonet.com. It’s new but it is growing. To me the best way to advertise is keep answering questions and post your website. Believe it or not people are curious.
im an international student (studying at one university at Perth)..currently searching part-time jobs in order to pay my living costs but hard to get since economic downturn so i plan to find LEGITIMATE online home based jobs. Any suggestions?..I really need your help!!
There are a lot of scams out there. I have a list of the common ones here:
http://stevesclassroom.com/blog/online-scams/
Not matter how great the offer sounds, if you think it sounds too good to be true, it is. There are no simple systems you can buy which will generate good income. If it were that easy, everyone would spend their $99 and quit their jobs and go enjoy the beach!
We started an online business about 5 years ago and were able to both quit our jobs 2 years ago. It requires a LOT of work to get to that point and you must be very dedicated.
