Simple Home Business Knowledge Base
I am looking to start a simple, low cost home / online business. Any ideas? Hello. I am looking to create a much needed second income to support my family by setting up a simple, low budget online / home based business to fit around my 45 hour, 6 days a week job. I am not especially competent with computing so the business idea would need to be straightforward and something I could have up and running without any particular specialist knowledge. Does anyone have any ideas? All ideas are very much appreciated. Thank you for your time.
Any legit at home business or ideas for business to start? I worked for a big corporation for almost 8 years, in the IT dept. for the last three. I lost my job due to downsizing. Unfortunately, since then I acquired a Felony on my record, due to an altercation on the road. (More or less a road rage incident). So now my chance at a reputable company has just about diminished. Any ideas for a fairly simple business to start? At home business? Any type of business? I am both mechanically and technically inclined, computer and internet savvy, overall I have above average intelligence (yeah right, I have a felony!) with an education. Any recommendations? Help!!!!!!!

How do I get my home business website listed on search engines for no money? A friend who has an earthlink account asked me to throw up a simple site to showcase his home business, get it listed, and spend no money. I succeeded, but am having trouble with the submission to search engines. I picked up a listing in MSN, YAHOO and GOOGLE. I submitted only the home page, not every single page. I used meta statements, but am not sure anymore how much they are used. The text on the home page amply describes the business and could be used in lieu of metastatements. The ranking seems to have fallen over the last couple of months. I haven't done this kind of thing for a few years, so I'm not sure about metastatements, or if there is some cheap or free software that will assist in the submission process. If I was allowed to spend money, I could probably have it listed and rank fairly well, but within the "no money" guidelines, what more can I do to ensure his site does, if not well, at least better. Thank You.

Can anybody explain to me, in plain and simple words, how writing off business expenses work? I have searched other questions on here and come up with one Best Answer that directed me to the IRS website, but I am still unclear. I have a home-based Administrative, Secretarial and Computer Training business that I work on part-time, in addition to my full-time job. I applied for the Tax ID Number about 3 years ago, but haven't done anything with the business until three or four months ago. I now have one client, who has paid me a total of $170 so far this year. I have four business accounts and have purchased some minor office supplies (stapler, paper, camera, paperclips, pens, etc.). I also purchased a new desktop computer with my business account. I have a room setup as an office in my home. If don't think I'll make over $400 this year because I am still trying to figure out ways to advertise. If I don't make a profit, do I have to pay taxes? I saw something about the IRS wanting you to make a profit within 3-5 years, but what if I don't? I really don't plan on purchasing any other major office supplies until I get some more business. I recently got a tax form from the IRS saying I needed to file taxes, but on what? I made no income from the business, except in 2007 which is the $100 something dollars I mentioned earlier. I understand that I can write off anything that is related and necessary for my business. I also understand that I should keep track of everything (gas mileage, etc.). Say for instance, if I have a business gas card and I use $100 for personal gas and $100 for business gas, do I just deduct the business gas? What if I spend more money trying to advertise and get the business up and running, than I make? Let's say I spend $2,000 in 2008 but I only make $500. Does that mean I have a loss of $1,500? I really can't afford an Accountant so I am trying to figure this out on my own. I think I can get it if somebody can explain it to where I can understand it. Any help that you can provide!

OR IS JUST FLAT OUT FAKE. So can someone please point me in the correct direction? I'd forever be thankful for that.
Idea for a home business... think it'll work? I found an article online that gave instructions on how to make jewelry from recycled paper. It is very cheap, and simple. I was thinking, since I am young, this could provide a little pocket change, selling jewelry online from home. What do you think? My mom says, the way the economy is, it might not work. I really want to do something from home. I was also thinking about selling cupcakes or something in school. Whaddya think?? Got any ideas??? Thanks!!! <33
My rich sister is ignorant of my need for a simple loan for my business. Should I HAVE to ask if we'reSOclose? Lately I can't stand being around her. I think that she must have gotten the impression somehow that maybe I envy her set-up. This is simply not the case. I'm not a materialistic person...then again she would say the same thing about herself. She's not extravigent(sp?), but because she lives in a half million dollar house and has been freakin' comfortable forever that she is absolutely ignorant about where I've been in my life. So be it. The point is, Wallymart put my five year vacuum cleaner business out. I never made enough to save, and many of YOU won't get this, but I lived on $1,000 a month or less. It was a home business. Now though, I want more. I have always been a hard worker and have become very experienced in the past 3 years at carpet cleaning on my own. In fact now it's time I put my efforts to making it my full time gig, but I really need a little capitol to get it going. My sister asks me to do yard work for her. I can't help it, I think she has no respect for me. I did write her off, but she was the one who wanted her yard beautified. I mean, she called me. So, as I worked outside in the blazing sun, she worked inside at her $80 per hour work desk- drawing landscape architecture for folks richer than even herself. Hm'... maybe it's all relative? The thing is, there is something to be said about people who just get it. I've met so many walks of life, it's my observation that money has very little to do with happiness UNLESS it is misused. I never misuse it, but maybe I just don't make enough to save- so shoot me. I'm just tired of only seeing my family when I'm working for them. and THEN hearing of their volunteering for this that and the other. WHY?! Because they have so much freakin' money! Then, at some point they get the bright idea that it was because of their volunteering that they are so blessed. If they are trying to teach me something...well, it's a two way street. Someday they might be living on it. I did once is our difference. U see
What is the best and simple accounting software? I need an accounting software that is simple to use and user-friendly for my home and business expenses. I only need it to track my expenses. I would prefer the software to contain some sort of option to connect to my bank account online in order to track checks that have cleared. I've tried Quickbooks Pro and, to be honest, I didn't really put a lot of effort into learning how to use it, but for me it just wasn't very user-friendly. Inexpensive and easy... anyone know?
Best home business ideas?? 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.

Home Based business Fraud? Give me your opinion please? So I emailed 'this lady' about a home typist to work from home and I would like to enquire some more info on the company and the business itself. She replied There is a $10 non-refundable fee for training materials. So i asked how can I be confident she will be sending me 'info' if idont know the name of the company. she replied: Look, if I sit here and answer all of the questions that you have asked of me thus far, then there will be no need for me to send you the training materials. You either buy the training materials or you don't. It's that simple. It is my belief that this business is not for you! Besides I would not want you to continue to waste your energy, time (and my time), and money on something that you obviously have serious doubts and concerns over. However, I hope that you will find the right JOB or Business Opportunity that will suite the needs and desires that you are looking for. HAHAHHA WHAT SHOULD I DO??

Other than avon, what can I sell? I would like to start a simple home business on the side. Not a get rich thing or anything. I don't know where to start.

Quicken Home & Business?? I'm looking for a simple, "easy" to use, inexpensive accounting program to use for my husband's business. I don't need anything for payroll as it's just him. I got Peachtree but it's WAY more of a program that we need. He works as a subcontractor for primarily one company, I just need to keep track of payments coming in on each job - what's been paid and what still needs to be collected. I've read that Quicken Home & Business is good, but it got terrible reviews on Amazon. I don't want to spend more than $150. Has anyone tried Microsoft Accounting? I've only recently heard of it and haven't heard anything about it. Thanks!! If it makes a difference, I have Vista on the computer that I'll be using.
What would I have to prepare myself with to just start a simple clothing / t shirt business? There was a boy at my school last year, who started his own t-shirt design company. Meaning, he would order t-shirts in bulk, and iron-on designs. They actually turned out nice. I would like to do this, but, possibly with an actual clothing line. I've designed many pices of clothing, and would love to do more. What would I need to do this, if it was basically only going to be an at-home business, and basically only available to people I have connections with already? Would I need a business liscense?
