Hello,

I am possibly thinking of changing careers and working from home. I am not very creative to come up with my own online business so does anyone have any good websites that offer you to work from home and own your own business?

Thanks!!

Wouldn't it be great to have an online business where all you had to do was program your computer to run ut while you're out goofing off somewhere.All you had to do was push a button in the morning and let it go.

Sure. Why not?

Set up a site (there are places that make it easy) that sells items warehoused by others. You take the orders and payment on line, the web site sends the order and their cut to the warehouse. Credit cards only. CC Company drops the monies into your bank account for you.

Hands off 24/7 money maker.

Problem is driving business to the site. Not so easy unless you have money for advertising or a lot of patience...

SBI is a great website that helped me to do just that. I'm not a techie at all so this was perfect... taking me step by step through the learning process. It's perfect for me allowing me to stay home with my two young boys and still earn an income

What is SBI? What do you do for them? I too am interested in working from home. I am currently developing an online business but am always interested in other prospects.

They are a company that teaches you successful e-business that's real and works I say that because I have tried just about everything out there and have not found one like this!
It is the only, all-in-one, site-brainstorming-and-building-and-hosting-and-marketing, step-by-step system of software tools that delivers thriving, profitable businesses.

I started my site from scatch about 10 months ago and now recieve close to 4000 visitors per month and that's with not a dime spent on marketing! I had practically zero knowledge of how it all works business on the web and so forth...now have learned so much. If you would like to see my site...it's not fancy but it works just to get an idea of what they teach. BTW people that build SBI sites build them all on different topics, business knowledge, passions, hobbies and so forth.

You can DM me if you'd like to see. I'm not sure what their rules are here for posting your site links.

Some people do really well with dropshipping, but as you mentioned the difficult part is getting the traffic to your site without breaking the bank. Been there, done that. That's why I chose SBI. They take the cake!

If you want to be successful working at home from the computer then you have to diversify and have multiple streams of income. There are many get rich quick schemes that are well written and very convincing. Don't fall for them. Keep your money in your wallet and your fingers on the keyboard.

I would suggest you try a free program first. I started with an online shopping mall that I could give away free to others and then get a commission on all sales from that point forward. They give you complete marketing instructions and tools to become successful.

If you can't give away a complete shopping mall with an excellent marketing system for free then imagine how difficult it would be to sell a $49 package of Marketing secrets. I've spent quite a bit of time on one of the forums where they sell a lot of that stuff to newbies. It's sad to watch them fail. On the other hand many of them signed up under me since I was offering something risk free. Here's a link that's worth checking out.
