Do what I am doing: trading futures and internet marketing.

/ES (SP500 Emini) futures. 1pt=$50, 2pt = $100. So right now the ES (S&P 500 Futures Charts) is at 2111.15, if you buy now at 2111.15, and it goes to 2112, and you sell, make $50. lose -$50 if goes to 2110.

Internet Marketing: Everyone is online right? why not sell them something.
All you need is a computer.

Are we talking full fledged businesses or more side hustles or making money online?

As far as business an ecommerce store, maybe a property inspector along with a few tools and a laptop your good to go.

If you want to open it up to hustling online could be affiliate marketing, running a blog and using google adsnese or amazon affiliate program. Could make a youtube channel and monetize it with ads or get sponsors.

The possibilities are endless you don't need big money to start a business just a good idea nad some creativity.

I'm actually going to be rolling out a new youtube channel, blog, ebook, kind of a whole program for low cost startup business ideas and stuff like that.

I was asking for ideas of a full fledged business. I like working for myself but with my current business I am geographically tied down. I would like to start something new that gives me the flexibility to work for myself and work from anywhere. Good luck with your new venture, with a good idea and enthusiasm you may be on to something successful!

Sell on Ebay and Amazon. You are driving to thrift stores (unless you are luck to live by them) and/or yard sales. BUT I just throw this in in case your limited geographical area happens to be full of thrift stores. Otherwise it probably wouldn't work

Until we moved a few weeks ago, I did a few hundred a month. Not much but better than nothing. And about triple that in Nov-December. Sometimes up to $500 per month when I hit yard sales.

it's nice to have credit in paypal to order the things we need each month and have it arrive by mail.

Check out Flippa and see if there are any online businesses that had just gotten started that are up for sale. Might be able to find a good one that interests you.

I am learning this affiliate marketing now. This is a good business and I believe marketing online is just getting started. Also, mobile marketing will be huge too.
