When it comes to the finding a home based business the options are almost limitless. There are so many different ways for people to make money from home, especially if they use the internet for marketing and sales. The problem is to find the best home based business for you and your family. The question you need to ask yourself is if you are looking for a quick dollar or long term business income?Through researching several companies and opportunities the top 3 home based business ideas tend to include some form of: Affiliate marketing, Network marketing (MLM), or selling your own products.Affiliate marketing is where you sell products produced by other people and get an affiliate's sales commission when someone purchases from your links. The amount of money that can be made using this form of marketing is rather small but you can make some quick money if you find the right product and right market for that product.Selling your own products is what most of us would like to be doing. This has great potential to provide a huge income but there are development costs and production costs that can make the investment in this idea very high for a home based business. If you do have an idea for a product you should create a business plan and develop the plan as your financial situation warrants the investment.Network marketing is where you market products for a company and also get distributors to help you market the products. You make income from your efforts and the efforts of the people who you have brought into the company as distributors.Network marketing is a very strong home based business activity because you are not just getting income from your efforts. As you team of distributors increase so does your income. You are able to move away from direct sales and get into leadership and development of your team.Network marketing is not a get rich scheme or pyramid as these are illegal.
