Hold on a moment, I've been selling quite a bit of Sasquatch Snake Oil on my website.
(It is actually just regular Olive oil with a picture of Sasquatch milking a snake on the bottle...but it sells better when I call it 'Sasquatch Snake Oil' ...
Ok. I am not actually selling that stuff. But ...think for a moment about 'Pet Rocks'.
I will wait. (elevator music)
Ok. I am serious when I say that if you market it correctly you can sell a bottle of oil that is labeled 'Sasquatch Snake Oil' as a gag gift. Just start a website draw the picture, bottle some oil...like massage oil...and advertise it as a 'massage oil that even makes Sasquatch feel relaxed'.
Once you have the picture of the bottle of oil on your website, and you have a paypal button so people can buy it...you have created a job you can do from home on line for money.
you can also try to find the book called how to create fund and start your own business...
but Sasquatch Snake Oil is a great idea...better than Pet Rocks...
so go make a billion dollars with it before I do.
Seriously....if i do not see a 'Sasquatch Snake Oil ' website before Feb 1, 2016...I will go ahead and do it.
...so...go make a billion dollars before I do.
And stop giving out your great ideas to everyone on the internet!

The "start your own" and "work from home" internet businesses are 99% scams. They make their money by selling their Ideas, business plans and training courses. They could care less if you actually make a penny. (In most, you won't anyways!)
Think about this: if you were a millionaire, would you teach others how to become your own competitors?
There are some legitimate service based companies with whom you can list your services (writing, proof reading, tutoring, etc.) but they will NOT guarantee you any clients or work. I tried a few and am still awaiting my first client. (after more than a year and with outstanding credentials) I only did it as a test of their capabilities and as a form of possible free advertising for my skills.
No one can rely on their "services" to provide any income. Some will offer "premium" account services for a fee. If anyone offers that, you can be assured that any possible work that comes around will ONLY go to the premium accounts AND if they had plenty of work, they wouldn't need to make money from "premium" account fees. They all take a percentage of the fees earned for any jobs performed by those who sign with them.
Many have been investigated and found to have NO, or a MINIMAL customer base from which their "talents" can obtain work. Many of those same "companies" have great write ups and recommendations, but try to track any down and you'll find that they are shills and generally non-existent people who are writing the "glowing" reports.
I can make a few dozen accounts under fictitious names and write fantastic accounts of how good a company is and how I've made a fortune working with them about any scam you wish. Does that make it reality?

Ones that just anyone can do? No. None at all.
People who have a successful home business generally have a skill that other people would be willing to pay for.
For example:
- Tax Preparation
- Bookkeeping
- Website Design
- Graphic Design
- Mechanic
- Small Engine Repair
A "system" or "program" that just about anyone can do simply does not exist.

Nope. Any legitimate job is going to require face time at an office. There are some "jobs" where you're actually self-employed that would allow you to office out of your home, but even those will require you to drive out to clients or customers on a regular basis to make a sale.
