architectureImage by .sanden. via FlickrWhen you image yourself funning a home based business various ideas may come to mind: money, ease, flexibility, scam and more.Home based businesses bring to mind many different things for different people. They are all correct depending on what you choose to do, who you choose to work for and how you determine which company or idea is best for you. Just use your search engine and type in home based business, and you are almost guaranteed to find something that suits your lifestyle and needs.

Who couldn't use extra money these days with gas prices rising and affecting everything we purchase? The question is how much extra money do you need to make it or save it and what are you willing to do to make that happen? Different companies will offer different pay. Some pay is determined by how many hours you put in while others pay based on performance - the quantity and quality of work you produce. Before signing up for any home based business it is always a good idea to find the answers to those questions.

There are several ways to make money, though some will make you more than others. Selling is a big way to make money. Most online selling companies, regardless of whether you work for them or yourself, pay based on units sold. Still, if yo urea great sales person there are several ways for you to make money with a home based business. Online malls, such as Zlio and My Power Mall, are gaining popularity and require little work except marketing your site and stocking your warehouse.

Some selling requires you to create, stock and/or distribute merchandise. Ebay is a great way to sell personal items including those you make yourself. It hasn't just remained an online garage sale, but has come to grow into somewhat of an online store with practically anything you could ever want to buy. Mary Kay and Avon are also great home based businesses. However, they do require more work and attention than other selling opportunities. You build your client base and need to keep up with their needs.

There are other home based businesses that send you the materials, which you pay for. You assemble the materials at home and then are presented with several options: 1. You can sell them as a fundraising effort. 2. You can sell the items for personal gain. 3. You can return the assembled items to the company, and they pay you a fee for each one completed. This puts you in the driver seat as you decide how much work to do, give you extremely flexible hours and allows you to decide how much money you make.

Many people are now becoming your local online newspaper reporters and magazine writers. Associated Content and Helium are just two of many companies that allow writers to produce content about almost anything. The companies then pay per article or per page views. Writing is great homes based business because you stock nothing, aren't distributing any product and can really work at your own pace.

As with anything it is very important to do your homework on any home based business before getting involved. There are many scams out there and people just looking forward to make money off of you. It is a good idea to talk to others who you know personally to ensure the company youre looking into can be trusted. Also, companies may or may not require a start up fee. If they do it is of the utmost importance to check them out before sending any money. Once you find a good company - stick with it! It can be hard to find a company, product, working hours and pay you like.
