    I gave Matt Jutras a thumbs up. That is one really good idea for you. Another idea would be to collaborate with a company that is already well established. Have the company set up a web site for you to sale the products and services. Or collaborate with different companies. After you've set it up, you'll have to generate traffic to your site as means of either advertisement (which you'll have to spend a lot of money doing) or the more effective way is word of mouth and referrals, which are free and more effective. Partner up with a company that gives you monthly earnings from services that you put people on either by in person, phone or from your web site. What I mean is for one example, all the cellular phone companies. Someone purchase a cell phone and plan from your web site, the product itself your able to provide at a whole sale cost as a distributor through the providers and they can go through all plans. When someone gets on the services, the company pays you a percentage of that person's billing every single month, month after month for the referral from you by word of mouth or by your web site.

    There's a lot of industries that you can look into for an on line business that way as well.

    I would suggest Yahoo!Small Business. It's everything you need in one package: web hosting, shopping cart, and merchant account so that you can accept credit/debit card payments.

    For shipping out your product, contact UPS or FeDEX and tell them what you're doing. They can set up a business account with you and will help you out. Tell them you're new at this and they'll set you on the right path because they want your business.

    For pictures, just get a halfway decent digital camera. You will be able to upload the pictures into your website through Yahoo's web page builder.

    Im a work at home mom, I just started this busniess after searching for many legit buniesses online trying to find somethen legit that works for me With a Step By Step training course to walk me though every detail to where i can fully understand how to make money online.

    So far what i've come up with,is that nothing is Free Online to Make Money,If you truly want to make a income from home and be your own Boss then i advise checking out my site below!

    This busniess i got into about Three months ago and so far i love it, and have made a reasonable income in my first Two Months of getting started with it. Its basicaly selling downloadable software over and over plus your offering a Website already setup for ppl who would like to have there own home based business!

    Its a small fee for joining the business, But to me its worth it because you get all the Training you need Step By Step and a Website already setup for you to get started right away to start selling and making a income from home.

    Its a very Legit Business, but like with any online business you do have to put a few hours of work into it a day to receive results,With a couple of hours a day doing some minor Advertising your on your way to generating sells from 200 to 1,000 a day depending on how

    much work you put into it and would like to achevive from it.

    I'd have to say i adverage anywhere from 200 to 600 a day in sells and thats just doing free advertising NO pay per click or any kind of paid advertising at all, although you can do paid advertising to achieve even More Money with it,But still for those on a tight budget i recommend free advertising till you can afford the paid advertising.

    (With that said 200 to 600 a day is still way better then any Hourly job out there!)

    LET ME LET YOU IN ON A SECRET! my husband makes 26.00 an hour working long ten hour days 6 days a week, once he receives his pay check at the end of each week, its about almost gone after taxes taken out and bills are payed, there's not even enough money left to save hardly for vacations or just any exter spending on going out,buying nice things, or whatever it might be, But luckly with the income i bring in now after Discoving a LEGIT Business,!

    That I was able to do from home while travling with him on the road,I was able to bring in A income unlike anything i've ever seen before, To where now im making anywhere from 200 to 600 a day in sales witch is a little more then 6,000 a month (keep in mind thats with just

    free advertising) But with even the amount i recieve monthly just doing this part time I can't wait to see what i will bring in once i go full time doing this business and double my sells a month . Now with that said! im still sitting here making money to where now im gonna make him quit his job and take care of the kids while I work and bring in the income But still have time to go and do the things i like to do everyday that normaly i would'nt have the time for.

    I sure hope if your like me and you feel that you truly want to be your own boss,and you have the desire to put the affort into it and really truly believe in yourself, and your sick and tired of working for other poeple, tired of working long hours a day an receiving a short pay check after all those long hard hours a week, But now your ready for a change to take a step out in faith and see results to beable to retire early in life, then i truely beleive this business will work for you, you just have to be willing to beleive it yourself and make it happen, Its the only way you will ever succeed in anything is taking a step of faith and making it happen.

    To Tell you the truth the Economy is hurting! people are having a hard time making a living after all the storms and Gas prices going up nation wide, it would almost seem like we were going into a depression, Poeple losing there jobs right and left, getting laid off its hard to know if your jobs gonna be around the next year or so, How can you be sure if your jobs secure for life! you never know what tomorrow will bring.

    So how are ppl getting around this Im sure you've heard it on the news and read it in the magizines everythings going to the internet most of all home based businesses are going online, So nows the Best time to really get into the Online World of Internet Marketing,

    Image not just Millions but Billions of people search the internet everyday buying,selling,or just surfing the web, On top of that millions are searching for a way to make money from home. With that said a business like this can help you and help others to succeed at life as well.

    What i love most about this business is the live training videos and the STEP BY STEP walk though process of how to get started setting everything up,and how to promote your site. its that simple and anyone can do it,Even if your new to the Online World of Internet Marketing!
