In this article I will talk about some top work home businesses that you could use to earn a living from the comfort of your own home. First, I will share with you a list of the top work home business. By the end I will talk about my chosen work at home business.

Work Home Businesses

Here are some work home businesses ideas you can use to setup a successful business:

- Virtual assistant. As a VA, you provide remote help to business owners in a variety of tasks, like secretarial or administrative duties, or in nearly any specialty area. To start you must first determine the skill set you want to offer, and then make some research online.

- Become social media marketer. A lot of people and companies want to outsource their social media marketing tasks to others who specialize in this kind of marketing.

- Become a website designer. No doubt, this is actually quite demanded. You don’t need to have a degree to design websites, but you need to learn the basics of web design through various tutorials and courses you can find online.

- Turn your crafts into cash. If you are good at making handmade wares, you could monetize that ability by selling your stuff online.

- if you like to attend phone calls, you could earn money by answering customer calls for big brands from home.

- Are you good at intellectual work? You can start a business by becoming a home-based freelancer. Almost any kind of intellectual work you could think of could be the base for a freelance contract.

Beyond all these, the best work from home business in my opinion is to have a successful website running (or many of them).

You can run a website where you sell your own products, or, if you don’t have your own product, you can promote other people’s products in your website in exchange for a commission whenever someone buys through you (that is called affiliate marketing).

Such a business is actually inexpensive to start and maintain. The basic things that you need in order to have a website up and running are a domain name (.com domains cost like 20 $ a year or so) and a hosting account (there are a lot of hosting servers out there where you can host your website by as little as 5 or 10$ a month).

When you already have a domain name and hosting space, next comes setting up your website. That is pretty easy to do actually, as you can setup your website as a Wordpress blog, and promote your chosen products there.

The last step, when you have properly setup the things said before, is to get traffic to your website. Again, there are some very useful free ways to get people who are or could be interested in your offer to your website.

With all this done, and when you get some nice amount of targeted traffic to your website, you could pretty well start earning some nice money out of it.

Given the fact that, despite of the financial crisis, internet transactions keep growing each year, and more and more people buy things online, there is a very high potential of profit when running a successful internet business. That’s why I believe that the future is in internet.

There are some very nice internet marketers training communities out there where you can learn all the required steps you should take in order to achieve to run a successful online business. These are composed of internet marketers of all levels, from the “newbies” to the experts. If you are willing to give internet marketing a try, I recommend you to learn from the experts. They can answer all your questions and guide you through all the steps that are required to take from the very beginning to finally have a successful internet business running.
