We live in really cool times entrepreneurial speaking and young entrepreneurs continue to out do themselves every year.  Successful business ideas are all around us in many ways they help to create our very culture.  You don’t have to invent the next YouTube to realise the benefits of a successful business idea and there isn’t a certain age you have to be to get started either.  When I listen to people, who may be family, friends, customers, or strangers, talk about business ideas or starting a business I often hear a few common themes that are really just myths.  Myths that keep many people from starting something new.

What many young entrepreneurs or aspiring business owners might not realize is that you don’t need to have all the details to get started, many successful business owners don’t have a clue “how” something will work, they just know it will and they get started.  One of the “secrets” to successful business ideas is that someone, somewhere…. Did something.  Sound simple, I know, but stay with me.  When you do something, when you put something out there, things happen.  You get reactions, insight, feedback, and sometimes results.  If you can take a business idea and do enough with it to get some results you may just be on your way to the developing  a successful enterprise.

Obstacles to Starting a Successful Business

Many of the entrepreneurs I know are, in part, dreamers. Maybe it’s a requirement?  Action is the key to creating a successful business ideas and at some point you have to Do Something. There are always reasons for not doing something.  Here are some of them I’ve used myself:

• I don’t have enough money.
• People around here wouldn’t go for that idea.
• I don’t have enough time.
• I don’t know how to get started.

The money problem has to be the most popular, I know it has been for me in the past.  What I’ve learned about funding is that it will show up if you business idea is worthy of it.  Most of the expenses of starting a business now days can be avoided or delayed until the business has in some ways proven itself.  Not every business works this way. But maybe you could consider starting one that does work this way, especially if money for starting the business is your business hang up. There are several different successful businesses you can start that don’t require a lot of start up capital.

At Home Business Ideas

Work at home business ideas are one of the best business ideas that you can start with very little money.  Many start home based business with no money, if done it myself in a round about way.  When I first started my online business, which is run exclusively from my home office, I had absolutely no starting capital invested.  The online business I have today, was started with no capital. I share more about this home business model throughout this website, it’s nothing fancy and it is nothing new.  At home business ideas can be started using the Internet and other free or low cost strategies from blogging to affilliate marketing. I wrote an article about 3 Internet business ideas that will make money this year.

Building Trades Home Business Ideas

I have a friend online who is a carpenter by trade, apparently a few years back he took a fall and was hurt pretty bad.  His name is Mitch and what he decided to do in his recovery was research ways to earn money online.  He was, probably for the first time, without a means to sustain his income doing what he had always done.  Instead of moping around, he got a pretty good grasp of the Internet.  I’ve watched him learn how the Internet works and recently I’ve seen him apply his knowledge of the Internet with his skill as a craftsman. It’s pretty cool. You can learn more about the “Online Carpenter” my visiting his website Dillman Solutions.

Just like Mitch I found a niche on the Internet that inspired me.  I love writing, studying and researching small successful business ideas and learning from other entrepreneurs.  This website is one example of a way I can add value and share with others what I have learned.  Successful business ideas often marry one skill or talent that you already have with a new one, Mr. Dillman is a great example of that.

Home Based Consulting Business

If you have expert knowledge or experience and expertise in a given field you can likely sell you knowledge as a consultant.  Starting a home based consulting business can be a low cost business idea.  It may cost you nothing.  It’s actually something I would like to do in 2012 to some extent.  I’ve learned a lot about the Internet over the years and there are some small businesses that could benifit greatly by using the Internet and a business website correctly. One of key elements for me starting this type of at home consulting business is to make sure I do it in a way that is scalable.  I’m not interested in starting a purely service based business and I don’t want to work 90 hours a week. To me successful business ideas have to deliver what the entrepreneur wants too.  What I would likely do is have a few templates made that would work in the industries I’m familiar with.  This is one way that I could offer a web based solutions to small business owners without having to spend so much time.

Most successful work at home business for a beginner have some common characteristics and I’ll share what those are in this short article that highlights 3 of the most successful work at home businesses to start. Finding an easy business to start from home can be difficult, mainly because thousands of Internet marketers saw you coming long ago and they are ready for you. Much work and creativity has gone into making different work at home businesses “stand apart” when in reality there are only a few successful at home business models in the first place.

I would also ad that the terms have become inter-changable and most work at home businesses are really Internet businesses. Years ago you could do mass mailings for companies or assemble products at home, but these have largely fallen by the way side, they were more Jobs than businesses anyway.

Regardless of what you read there are only a few ways to make money from home, or from anywhere else for that matter and they are:

1. Create a product or service that people want to buy and sell it to them.
2. Find a product or service someone else created that people want to buy and sell it to them.
3. Sell advertising space to someone who is selling a product or service whether it be their own or someone elses.

Most Successful Work at Home Businesses For a Beginner

3 of the most successful work at home businesses for a beginners use a combination of all three and I’ll talk more about a successful home business model throughout this post.  Keep in mind the “Product” takes on some unique forms when it comes to the age of the Internet and sometimes the product is even a business.  Business opportunities are a HUGE sector of the work at home business industry and there are litterly thousands fo different business opportunities out there.  When the “Product” is someone elses and you promote or sell it’s called affiliate marketing and it is easily one of the top three work at home businesses that are a perfect match for beginners.  In my personal experience and in my reasearch I’ve found that the third of the top three most successful businesses for work at home entrepreneurs is also the glue that holds it all together and it is actually blogging.  I’ll give  a brief run down of the three and share some of the critical points and biggest challenges of all three.

Business Opportunities

Some of the most successful small business ideas online, the ones that earn some of the those rediculous incomes, are actually business opportunities.  If you start a work at home business opportunity you will likely play the role of a direct sales person.  You’ll be paid directly for selling the products or services of the business opportunity and also make money through recruiting others to your business.  Many business opportunities use a network marketing business model, but not all. Some of the benifits of business opportunities are:

1. Low start up costs compared to a traditional business or franchise.
2. Flexible schedule and can be part time.
3. High earning potential in a reletively short amount of time. 

Remember not everyone will make money with a business opportunity. Sales skills or a solid system that helps with the selling and explaining are a plus when it comes to business opportunities.  Business opportunities can cost anywhere from $100 to $20,000 dollars to start and will usually require some sort of a marketing budget.  Depending on the opportunity, recruiting can play a huge roll in your income.  We recommend you do your due dilligence when evaluating a business opportunity, when you find one that is right for you make sure you have a mentor and go to work!

Affiliate Marketing

Promoting someone elses products or services and getting paid a commision is the name of the game when it comes to affiliate marketing.  Often times promoting the product can be as simple as sending a visitor to a website, your not actually selling anything most of the time. I’ve found several good resourses on how to make money with affiiliate marketing and make decent money every month myself with affiliate marketing.  One critical component of affiliate marketing is developing an audience that is targeted to the niche of the affiliate products you want to promote.  Pick a niche that you have a genuine interest in, maybe one you are already familiar with.  There are some great affiliate marketing opportunities out there from some of the biggest companies in the world, including Amazon, eBay, etc.  Some of the benifits of affiliate marketing include:

1. Very low start up- Less than $100
2. Very passive income over time.
3. Easy to duplicate and grow you income without “spending” time.
4. Very low risk as there is little to no investment.
5. There is a HUGE earning potential with affiliate marketing



Make Money Blogging

Number 3 on my list of the most successful work at home businesses for beginners is blogging.  I don’t how you feel about this business idea, but blogging has created thousands of successful home business entrepreneurs and it’s a perfect match for the right person.  I mentioned this was the glue that held together the whole group and I said that because one of the most successful home business models actually uses all three.  If your serious about starting a business you can do from home I recommend starting with a blog.  Starting a blog is way easier to day and if your completely new you can get training for almost zero cost. I wrote a post about making money with a blog on another site you could read. I make great money blogging and hands down it’s my top pick if you want to start a successful work at home business. 

Small business ideas online are much less expensive to start up and this makes the much less risky for the first time business owner.  I’ve spent very little money in the last few years to learn how to make some money online.  I’ve slowly developed a full time income working on the Internet and can say it is very rewarding.  One of my favorite parts about earning money with this type of home based business is that when I walk away to do other things, I don’t loose anything and I keep making money.  How many other new small business ideas can you say that about?

If your looking for more ideas I recommend another article on the site about step my step ways to make money online that I wrote a few months back.

I noticed something the other day about the online business ideas I’ve had and the best ideas I’ve taken action on seem to last.  When I was just beginning I had the thought, or fear really, of wasted effort, money and time.  I assumed that if I were to create a successful businessthat earned consistent cash, it would only last for a certain period of time and I wondered if the time spent to create it would be worth it.  Ever been there?

Why Most Successful Online Businesses Last

What I’ve learned in the past few years is that the success I’ve had in my online business endeavors seems to last.  So why do most successful online business ideaslast?  What I’ve come to learn is that over the past few years is that things have changed and the way I make money and the amount of money I make doing certain activities change, but success has remained. One of the reasons the Internet is a great place to turn to start a home based business is that the work you do to create a successful website, for example, doesn’t go to waste if need to make a change.

When you start a website or online business it will need to be in a niche or a small focused topic area.  Here’s the thing though…. Regardless of the niche you pick there are always going to be surrounding and related niches you can morph into if the need arises.  My websites continually evolve and expand and this is why the most successful home business ideas online seem to last.

Obviously getting started and picking the best home based business idea for yourself is the most difficult time.  And yes you’ll do a lot of work before you see any return most likely, but remember that work you do will continue to add to your successes in future if done correctly online.

The home business idea of simply building a well researched and profitable website really seems like a long shot to most folks who don’t have any idea what it really takes.   But…When you learn what it takes to actually create a profitable online business from home without a product or service, it makes more sense, here is what I mean…. First off is something were easy, everyone would do it and it would cease to have commercial value.  Making money with a website takes a lot of work and making a significant income with a website alone is reserved for those who are absolutely determined they want the end result that only a profitable website can bring…

Starting  a home based business or any business really that is difficult to achieve success in isn’t a bad idea considering anyone setting out to do the same later is going to have to do the same things you did, and most just aren’t willing.

Most successful small business ideasaren’t really that “genius” they are just the ones that captured you attention and commanded your effort from a place of inspiration.  When you here the quote..” do what you love” it really just means work from a place of inspiration.

Good luck at reaching you 2010 home business goals and join in on the conversation in  the comments!

I’ve looked at the Genewize home based business opportunityseveral times over the last year or so collecting bits and pieces of the business opportunity and product offerings each time. I’d say the unique offering is the patented technology of Genewize and more specifically the  Genewize DNA based custom vitamins/supplements.  As far as my own research show, there are no other business opportunities out there that offers a DNA based vitamin, you can correct me if I’m wrong… and please do in the comments.

The first thing that stands out to me with this health and wellness affiliate opportunity is the mass appeal and exclusive product offering.  It isn’t often that a business idea comes along that is structured in such a way as to allow a person to start a business part time, build a good income from home and offer the best nutrition product on the market!

Another great concept, even better than offering an exact customized nutritional supplement based on their very one DNA, Genewize makes a way for you to get it, every month, for FREE.  That’s really cool. You can get all the details on genewize right now by getting  in touch via the Contact page.

The Genewize Business Opportunity

Being a home based business guy, interested in all things that make sense to implement in a successful home business I can’t help to take a serious look at genewize. It looks like the Genewize Life Sciences company started and is headquartered in Florida as I see several of the top distributors are located there… again if your aware of something different, let me know.

Genewize Compensation Plan

I’ve only looked at the compensation plan for the genewise home based business opportunity enough to determine if it would work in a home a home based business model…. and it will. The Genewize company is also doing some unique things, I might add, with the compensation plan it appears they are also offering stock options along with some performance based compensation pools.

Another key element the genewise business opportunityis offering is what a top distributor called an “Enroll Four and Pay no More” program where, yep you guessed it, once you enroll 4 customers or affliates who order the DNA based vitamins, you get yours for free…(again correct me if I’m wrong)

How to Start a Genewize Business

The first step to start your own genwize business is to get in touch. You can do that now by visiting the Contact page, (Top Navigation Bar) or go to the bottom of this page and request more information via email.

Partner With Success!

It’s no secret, I’ve been looking at a couple legitimate business opportunities to offer here at CreateLiberty.Com and Genewise  IS on the short list along with two other right now.  I don’t have an issue with offering two, but I hadn’t considered offering Three.

Another opportunity that is certainly on the “2010 best home business list” is the Trump Network Home Business…. If your new to that, go read the post I wrote the other day called ” What is the Trump Network ” I’ll give you a hint, and probably answer your first question, yes its Donald J.Trump that real estate, apprentice guy, if it weren’t for Will Ferrell & Neil Patel  he’d be “Kind of a Big Deal”

If your more of an expert than myself on the best network marketing opportunities to join and especially compensation plans, I invite you to offer your thoughts on these two companies and which is a better one to join and why. If your so inclined I’ll allow a link back in the comments.

It’s got the small business world going bonkers, more and more people are looking for the right small business to start at home 2010. It doesn’t take a genuis to figure out why entrepreneurs are so interested in the work at home small business model, but the noise the phenomena is creating is almost defening at times. I hear it from about every angle there is. Over the last 3 years or so, when I actually started to see the potential in starting a successful personal business, the influx of people wanting to start a successful small buisness from their home office has be tremendous.

What are the top small businesses to start from Home?

It varies by who you ask, where they live, and what their background is but their is a trend that’s pointing to the fact that the best home businesses to start in 2010 is the one you CAN start. People seemed that jacked about getting the ball rolling. Start a small business has always been a fearful thing, covered in risk requirement and longterm committment. The at home small business model seems to be changing that. Individuals seem to understand that regardless of the the home business they decide to start, they are going to be learning, attracting customers, and finding new ways to make money all the time, so they seem to just be starting with that. The number of websites, paid and free, that go up everyday as statement of starting a new venture is amazing and the commerce categories of these start ups is as numberous as the webpages plastering the Internet.

What makes a home business successful?

Most successful home businesses regardless of the industry they are in have to do two things essentially, one is the business has to add value and two, someone has to pay you for that value.  Good advice, if you your looking for a profitable small business idea, is to go to some websites on the Internet that actually make money and figure out how they earn money.  Most successful at home businesses are not creating products, they are mearly connecting the people who do make them with the people who want to buy them.

Part time small home business start ups.

The best home based busnes ideas can be started part time in my opionon, it’s almost like putting your toes in the water before you jump in, not that you can’t do some simple market research in the niche you plan to start a busines in, still most people find comfort in starting small and building in time.  Most people enjoy the flexibility that a home business provides.  Being able to attent your childrens sporting evens, for example, is not a luxury many corporate employees have today while home business owners many times do.

Starting a successful personal business that is not directly tied to your local economic conditions is one of the main attributes people are looking for when they start a business from home, especially if they are using the Interenet.  Small internet business are able to tap into other more prosperous or thriving economies and this is one of the ways the Internet levels the playing field for small business owners.

I encourage you in your search for the 2010 best new small businesses or opportunities and hope this is the year you decide to start your business.  I think down economic times are the most favorable to start a business.  One way I look at it is that if you can make it in tough times, the better times will really rock your business.

It's Not So Complicated Now Is It?

I love encouraging the entrepreneurial spirit, especially in aspiring business owners.  I thought I’d share my ideas on why the best small businesses to start are often home based.  Many, maybe most, people who are looking to start  a small business are in an employee situation, they got a job.  This brings us to the first reason that home based business ideas are tops on the small business start up list.

The cool thing about a job is that the hours you spend there are often set and scheduling time to work on your home business is really just a decision in discipline.  Starting  small businesses is no easy undertaking and a significant amount of time will usually be required, especially in the start  up phase.  If your crunched for time and you might think of  a business idea that only requires a few hours a week.  Blogging comes to mind as one idea. If your a writer you could start a web publishing business and publish articles to make money from home on your computer.  Earning several thousand dollars a month with a simple home business is nothing to scoff at,  the business model is so much more efficient that half the revenue can generate the same profits as a traditional brick and mortar business.

Most successful small businesses were made that way by someone, like you, being willing to put forth the required effort to get the business off the ground.  Starting a home based small business is a great way to capitalize on any free time you might have and its also a great way to make your money go farther.  We have two resources, time and money, and this is why the best small businesses to start are ones utilizing a home based business model. 

Think of the travel time to and from your retail or office space you may lease.  Think of all the times you only have 45 minutes or an hour so you decide not to go in.  Think of all the late night ideas that could really make your business more successful.  You’d be missing out on these opportunities if you weren’t home based not to mention the costs associated with renting or buying a building to operate from.

Granted not all small businesses can be run from home but many that aren’t could be, could yours?

I have a nephew living in Colorado who started a small business from home making knitted hats that are real popular with the snowboard crowd out there.  If he were tying to pay a monthly lease to have space to knit these hats there is no way he could do it.

Some of the best small businesses to start from home include:

• Consulting
• Web Design
• Search Engine Marketing
• Search Engine Optimization
• Web Publishing
• Blogging
• Creating Information Products
• Editing
• Creating Web Content
• Small Service Type Businesses
• Direct Sales Business Opportunities
• Network and Affiliate Marketing

All of these business ideas can be successful small businesses that operate best right from your home office.  Know of a few more to add to the list? I’m not saying home based businesses are easy businesses to start, I just think they are a more practical business start up for many people and for obvious reasons.

I think a ton of people have grand plans to start the ultimate business ”one day”, problem is, one day never comes.  Ask yourself, ” What could I do today to get this business started”.  Many of use the lack of capital as the number one reason not to start a small business.  Creative financing for small business abounds, and many solid home business ideas can be started with very little start up capital.

When it comes right down to it most successful small businesses could be started from home and started in a way that capitalizes on natural growth instead of wasted dollars, hours and head aches trying to pay the bills.

I’ve created a few different income streams online from my home office, none of which really have any overhead to speak of.  I don’t have any employees and no bills that I wouldn’t have otherwise.  The other nice thing about starting a home based business is that it is often times scalable.  In order to make more money you can hire an employee, or better yet outsource it to a like minded individual who wants to work from home.

Share with us your experience on starting a small business.  What are some of the best small businesses that can be started from home that you have come across in your entrepreneurial journey?

Would entrepreneurs be as urgent about finding the best small business start up strategy in 2010 if the economic times were at an even keel?  I’d say probably not.  There are many advantages smart business owners can harvest from an economic time of turbulent change, and really that’s all we’re really talking about with current economic down turn in my opinion.

OK, I guess it’s actually a recession. And I’m won’t pretend that millions of people have been adversely affected during the last 3 years or so, it is what it is.  Successful small business ideas will still be successful and successful entrepreneurs will still be cashing in, the question is, are you going to be one of them?

I think it bears mentioning that when the Government steps in to solve a problem, maybe it’s because its a problem to them.  It seems to me that is about what it boils down to. Do you have any problems today you didn’t have 3 years ago in your business?  If you’ve built a solid business that’s scalable, lower sales shouldn’t be a problem, at least not a critical one, right?

If I’ve learned one thing about the last three years it is to own more than one business.  Owning several business is the best small business strategy in 2010 for a few simple reasons.  The best small businesses to start will vary each year and having more options to work with makes a ton of sense.  Many online business start ups are easily changed to pick up differnt income streams based on performance during the year.

First of all, I’ve learned that one business can feed another and a problem in one business can inspire a new product or service in another business.  My online business is largely dependent on one or two revenue streams, this bugs me.

I think I’ve been complacent the last few months especially. If your like me you likely have about a dozen business ideas for every business start up you have actually launched, even the best small business entrepreneurs get complacent from time to time, so don’t fret, but ask, “what am I doing about it now”?

One of the best small biz strategies has always been multiple streams of income, but owning entirely different businesses in different industries will be hot in 2010.  The fortune 500 companies went down this track years ago, but small business owners have lagged.

One advantage we have as small business entrepreneurs is that we can take small yet concentrated niche markets that are being under-served by these large companies and capitalize on our efforts.

Even to a new entrepreneur, starting a business for the first time, I’d say start a couple.

My 2010 Best Business Ideas

Here is list of things I plan on doing with my online business in 2010.

Starting a Business in 2010

Start 2010 with an overall plan including current businesses that are earning money, new business ideas to implement in 2010, and a couple new projects I haven’t tried. Obviously this business plan will be flexible, but it gives me a framework for productivity.  Eventually even I get sick of trying to convince myself that a business idea I have is great and will make big cash.  This year I’m gonna pull the trigger on these ideas and let the marketplace decide, after all its the only way to get paid.  Starting a blog this year is one of the best investment for 2010.

Another idea I will be implementing in 2010 is to start an online business that has a tangible product. I’ve never really done this as a separate business entity.  I’ve done some direct sales and some affiliate marketing, but never an actual product. I’m thinking private label, or drop ship, something of that sort. If you have any advice in this area, let me know via the comments.

Another 2010 business goal I have is to sell a website or domain name for over 10k.  I’m not sure how I’m gonna pull this off, but I’m working toward it.

Lastly, I’d like to create a user generated content site. I have a site in mind that I already own, it just takes the leg work putting it all together. I’m planning on using word press to pull this off. Again if you have any suggestions or experience in this let us know in the comments!  I started a forum that is connected to one of my websites, actually I started it and forgot about it for the most part, ever done that?  About 8 months later I logged back in for the second time ever to find some people had asked questions and actually had some good activity.  I thinks its probably important to manage a forum if I intend to make money with one.

What is you pick for the best small business start up strategy in 2010?

Are you pulling the plug on any business ideas?

Are you transitioning to a home based business?

Are you expanding a brick and mortar business online?

Seems we get a lot of readers who are looking for profitable home based business ideas or at home income opportunities.  After a while ridiculous income claims get to even the most brazen skeptics, no?  I’ve talked before about how the income claims COULD be true, in brief I explained how affiliate marketers can create products, get 50-100 affiliate partners, then launch a product.  Keep in mind these launches sometimes take six months or longer.

Another avenue that can support such income claims would be direct sales.  More specifically a profitable direct sales business model that has a passive element in addition to higher profit, in demand, quality products.

There are a few such profitable business ideas on the Internet today, I’ve personally worked with one and have researched half a dozen others.  In some ways it is much like affiliate marketing, and network marketing combined.  Basically your paid upfront profits at the point of sale, which is cool, and then your also compensated in some way by building  a successful sales team.

The key to spotting a profitable direct sales opportunity and choosing the best home based business is to look at:

• The entrepreneurs/sales pros currently engaged in the business.
• The marketing system- How leads are generated and how the product is sold.
• The products- Are there back end products that make sense both from a business perspective and a consumer perspective.
• Longevity of the product line OR ease of innovation of the product line.
• How you are paid- Paid directly? By a company?
• How products are handled- Do you have to handle product?

I think these are important points to look at when choosing the best home business opportunity in direct sales. Can you think of more?

Another point that bears mentioning is the home business mentor that you choose to work with when you throw your hat in.  It takes an entrepreneur to have a successful home business and in the direct sales industry you need to mentor others as a good share of the compensation will come from the sales force you build.

I’ve been researching a personal development home business for the past six months. It looks to have everything in place, its been going strong for a few years and it looks to have the elements required for long term success.  If you would like to evaluate that business, fill out the contact form on this site, its probably in the side bar.

You’ll notice I mention that I generated over 20 thousand dollars in income the first thirty days of a business opportunity, its true, I did.  Because of the compensation plan, they way things worked so to speak, my “advisor” or the person who helped be get started received all the Cash. So I learned two things:

1. There is Money to be Made.
2. Be an Advisor.

Another thing I learned which is the real take away from the whole experience, is that if a business model would have caused Me to be paid on that income, in the beginning, It would have made for a more profitable business.  More people who get started would stick around long enough to get through the learning curve… People start businesses to make money, not make someone else money, know what I mean?

Again, for what its worth, top tier direct sales business models, the 100k plus home business ads you see, are out there….

Every now and then I like to do a post like this one, they get feedback and they are fun. Twice a year works, there are always new home business opportunities coming online and I haven’t been following to closely. So what are some good home business opportunities to start and how does an opportunity qualify as “good”, or maybe even a top home business idea?

Seems the options are affiliate marketing, network marketing, direct sales, making money with Adsense, these are the obvious and much advertised options anyway.

I did a post lake week on starting a search engine marketing business from home.  I came across a course that seemed pretty useful and worth the cost.  Business ideas are half the equation of success the other being systems and hard work.  This SEM program has the system part of a good SEM business covered you should check that post out by visiting the post I wrote on a good one person internet business idea .

Best Business for 2010?

I’m an avid student of personal development and was involved in a personal development home business  that I still have a love hate relationship with.  I’ve learned there are a few personal development home business opportunities available on the Internet today. I’m not familiar with how many or the details of the business models, but would be interested in hearing about them if you should know!  Share with my readers in the comments if you would.  I’m  looking for a solid home business to start some time in December or 2010. Oh… If your looking for a good home business to start too, you should visit my successful home business page and fill out the contact form and I’ll keep you posted on the online business I decide to join and I’ll let you know why.

Over all I’m happy with the performance of my home business ideas website, and a few other sites I own in the home based business ideas industry.  I think earning money the passive way through ads is outstanding. I’ve yet to meet my income goal for the year of $3,000 but I’m on my way.  It is becoming easier to make money online  for me and for that I’m grateful.

Three thousand dollars doesn’t sound like much but with little to no expenses and the overall passivity of it, its AWESOME!

Do you ever think that successful home business ideas are little behind the curve?  I think that what people really want right now should drive the start up sector of business opportunities that are turnkey, but they seem to lag.

I’m also aware of a certain corniness (if that is a word) of most of these turnkey opportunities. Why do the need to be corny? 

Also why all the scandal that seems to surround so many business opportunities that otherwise seem perfect?

I love the network marketing business model but it never seems to look as good in reality as it does on paper, you know what I mean?

As a distribution model its best.  As an income producing model its tops.  As a self sustaining business idea, its hard to beat, yet so few ever really sustain overtime building a secure income for their representatives.

What are some good home business opportunities to start in 2010?

You tell us. If you have a business your involved with that is currently recruiting new distributors or are involved in a direct sales company that is earning you a nice income, let us know about it.

Or maybe your looking to start up a new home based business idea in 2010?

Do let us know.

This is a great video on entrepreneurship and why entrepreneurial business ideas are important.  It hits a great point on creating socially responsible  and sustainable components to make the world a better place to live.

I agree with the point that is made about a major difference being effident between self employment and being an entrepreneur.  I look at it this way: If you have to get up tomorrow and do it again, your self employed. If you die tomorrow and your enterprise continues to add value to its contributors lives and the lives of those who come in contact with it, its entrepreneurial.

Entrepreneurs drive change in the world we live in. Not all business owners, and we can all name a few, are entrepreneurs.  I’ve always known its not all about making money, but have difficulty explaining why I love implementing entrepreneurial ideas as much as I do. 

I think it comes down to impact.  When I was little I used to spin the back tire on my bike and look back to see the mark, entrepreneurialism is like that, its making a mark. Nurturing entrepreneurialism isn’t a sales job its about providing transparent communication to people young and old alike about what is possible. Being exposed to the idea that you could change the world and create a business that solves a social problem you loathe needs to happen intentionally and consistently starting at a young age… (in my opinion)

Even micro business concepts have added value in the marketplace and improved the lives of millions. From low cost start ups to huge transportation business ventures entrepreneurs are changing the world and changing it in the way the people desire.

Starting a business can take on new meaning after viewing it from another perspective can’t it? Home based business ideas a fast, relatively inexpensive to start, and can earn big money quick, but looking at the overall or long term impact on the community is vitally important as well.
