Internet Home Business Opportunities: 3 Home Based Businesses That Cost Less Than $100 to Start

3 Home Based Businesses That Cost Less Than $100 to Start By Bryan Hufford


Working at home is one of the greatest occupations in the world, in my opinion. You have the freedom to set your own schedule and be your own boss. Your earning potential is up to you and how hard you work, which is great for the self-starters out there who are fed up with working hard for someone else, only to see the CEO of their company get rich from their hustle. If you are able to have the luxury of working at home, you are truly lucky. What if you don't have that luxury? Are there ways to get to that point where you can have that luxury and dream of working at home? What if you don't have a budget to start a business from home? All you need is a couple dollars and a dream. With a little determination, anything is possible.
For those who just might have a couple dollars, a dream, and ready to put in some hard work, here are 3 home based business ideas that you can start with less than $100:
#1 - eBay Business
Obviously, this is the most popular. Becoming a seller on eBay is something that can be done in minutes. Listing fees are cheap enough to the point where you could list 100's of items on a $100 budget without a problem. Find out what you would like to sell and stick to it. Sell knick-knacks around your house to start. It's a great way to jump-start business, as well as get rid of a few unwanted items.
#2 - Amazon Affiliate
This is an excellent way to earn an income. Becoming an Amazon affiliate costs nothing. Your only costs will be for a website and monthly hosting. Find a niche that sells well or that you enjoy. Build a makeshift website (you can find all kinds of "What You See Is What You Get" site builders online), and place products from Amazon on that website. When people visit your site and click through to products that were listed on your site, you will earn a commission. I know a lot of people who are earning great money each month with this program.
#3 - Blogging
Blogging is the latest craze. People make serious money off of blogs, such as John Chow (search Google and you'll see who he is). He's raking in over $30,000 each month from them. You can grab a piece of the pie as well. Your only costs are for webhosting (which you can get for as low as $6.95 or less each month). Pick a topic you enjoy writing about. Monetize your blog with ad revenue from places like Google Adsense or affiliate programs, such as Amazon or Clickbank. If you work hard on blogging, you can kiss your day job goodbye when it picks up!
Do you want to earn money desparately, but have no income to start an online business?
