10 Businesses You Can Start Under $20

Scott Allen, About.com’s Entrepreneurs Guide, has a great article on Legitimate Businesses You Can Start on a Shoestring Budget (Under $20). He lists the following options for people wishing to start a business without a lot of capital:

1) Webpreneur
2) Consultant
3) Housesitter / Petsitter
4) Professional Organizer
5) Avon Independent Sales Representative
6) Personal Services – Shopping & Errands
7) Desktop Publishing
8) Tutoring
9) eBay Seller
10) Secretarial Service – Typing / Transcription / Proofreading

You can pretty much do most of these businesses as a home-based business online. Well, especially business ideas #1, #2, #8, and #9. And maybe even #7 and #10 (virtual secretarial/office services). Even Avon has an affiliate programme you can join via LinkShare.

      I have read alot of info here before I started with a business of my own. I think what scared me away from working at home in the very beginning was that most of the programs wanted a start up fee.
      But I searched and found a way to work from home that actually pays.

      Of those people who actually work from home, how many of you work more than 30 hours a week? I am really curious about this. When I was doing chacha in the beginning, when they first came online, I was making decent money, but once they changed the pay structure, I made minimal money. I was working 50 hours a week to make enough money to pay a light bill.

      Now I only work 15 hours a week, 3 hours a day.
      How many hours a week do you other work at home folks work on the average.
      Thanks
      Val
