What is a good home base business with no start up cost?

The old adage, It takes money to make money, still applies.

There really are very, very few, if any, home-based businesses that have no start-up costs.

Consulting may possibly be one, but you will need the knowledge in a certain area to do consulting work in that particular industry.

Many people have a computer and internet service. In the online world, it is possible to make money as an affiliate, promoting someone else's product, for very little cost.

An affiliate is basically a go-between, matching a buyer with a seller. Once the sale is made, the seller pays a finder fee to the affiliate for bringing them a customer.

Clickbank is a site where you can sign up as an affiliate for many different digitally-delivered products, such as ebooks. In a lot of cases, the authors will offer 75% of the ebook price to the affiliate when they refer someone who makes a purchase.

There are affiliates who earn thousands of dollars each month simply referring people to products but these are people who have done it for years and know many secret tricks that you may never find out about.

But if you'd like to give it a go, go to the Clickbank site mentioned above, click on the Promote Products tab and go from there.

One of the easiest, lowest-cost home-based businesses you could ever start is selling at flea markets. I began with an initial investment of just $200 in brand new merchandise and now literally earn thousands of dollars each and every month just working a few easy hours each weekend.

Many people begin by selling items they no longer need. That's a great way to get the start-up capital to begin buying brand new merchandise. Clothing, lawn mowers, tools, radiOS, literally anything can be sold at a flea market.
