Looking to start a new home based business? If so, you know that you have to have the right products in order for your business to be successful. Here are suggestions for a few home based business categories to start with.

A home based business starts at home everyday, may go out of the house during the day, and ends up back at home. Be sure and have a separate business phone line because a home-based business can get calls 24 hours a day.

Service businesses are ex maples of home-based businesses. Maybe you have some talent for finishing basements, but do not want the hassle or the overhead of employees and renting a brick and mortar store.

You can run your business out of your home, but do your work where the work is. Plumbing, electrical, landscaping, heating and cooling, cleaning carpets, etc are examples of home-based businesses that you could do.

Perhaps the main thing about starting your own home business is to choose an industry you have an expertise or a passion for. You want to do this everyday for more than just the money. Enjoying what you do is equally as important and is going to be one of the keys to your success.

Another form of a home-based business is Internet marketing. Selling stuff online is a great way to make money and stay at home doing it. You can run your business 24 hours a day anywhere you have Internet access. For people who like to travel this is a great business to be in and still travel anywhere you want to go.

Affiliate marketing and network marketing are two popular ways to earn money on the Internet. Again try and find products to sell that you have an interest in. This is especially easy to do with affiliate marketing because almost every product made in the world has companies looking for affiliates.

Being an affiliate means you are a salesperson for that product. All you do is sell for the company you represent. They provide things like website and marketing material. They also collect the money and ship the product. Usually once or twice a month they will send you a check or pay you via the Internet with PayPal or direct deposit.

Network marketing is similar to affiliate marketing with one big difference. You can get paid on the efforts of hundreds or even thousands of people's sales. With affiliate marketing you get paid on your own sales and if the affiliate program is a 2-tier program you can get paid on one level of personally recruited affiliates.

In the end, the final choice for your home-based business will be up to you. Use these tips and examples to come up with your own ideas on how to work at home, or out of your home, with your own business.
