Best Small Business to Start
If I am ever asked “What is the best small business to start?
My answer to that question is…
“The Best small business to start at home, is an affiliate marketing business”
Why?
Because setting up a home based affiliate marketing business is relatively easy and there are many factors that make it very attractive.
One of the most desirable factors is being able to work from your own home. Your home is often your most comfortable surroundings. Everything you want and need is right there.
Small Children
If you have small children, a home business is even better. You can work and still be home with the children. You also don’t need to worry about commuting and work wardrobes. You can work when you want and schedule your jobs around your other commitments.
Working from home does provide people with many wonderful advantages.Many of us dream of throwing in our 9 – 5 jobs. We would love to tell our bosses to “take this job and shove it”.
Fear
Yet many of us are frightened of doing what we most desire. The fear of leaving that secure source of income stops most, and those who get past that fear don’t have the capital to get a business up and running.
Some are afraid of being scammed.
It’s true a home business does take some money and a typical traditional home business will need a significant amount of start-up money. Most people rely on banks for the financing which puts them at further risk of failure.
A traditional home based business that is run as a sole proprietorship can take years to get established.
Failure
On average, nearly 70 percent of small businesses fail in the first year. Those that do make still have many hurdles to get past. It usually takes 5-7 years to realize any significant profit in a sole proprietorship. During this time, the business owners have to continually promote their business just to keep it afloat.
A typical traditional home based business has to worry about competition. Unless you really hit upon a niche in the market you are likely going to have to attract customers away from already established businesses in your area.
This can be difficult because customers tend to trust what they know is good. If you do manage to do it you may be creating some bad blood between you and other businesses.
Risk Reduction
However, by working a home based affiliate marketing business the risk level drops by about 90 percent as you’ll be selling products that have already been on the market.
You can actually check the saleability of these products before you market them. If the products you choose are well known and trusted then you won’t have a problem attracting customers.
Less Stress
This takes the stress off of you although you are paid according to how well you perform, you don’t have to worry about sales targets and making a certain number of sales every month to keep your job.
You concentrate on marketing and promoting the goods and services to increase your earnings. This could, therefore, be the best new business to start.
If you are selling Physical products on Amazon, then a tool such as Jungle Scout makes it incredibly easy to find ideal products to source and sell online.

Writing Content to Attract Visitors to your website
One of the important things to be able to do is to get visitors to your website. This often can be achieved by having engaging content that your reader will want to read and is of particular interest to them. Most people don’t know where to start when first creating content for their site.
To explore further, how to write engaging content, take a look at my post; How to Write Great Website Content using the link below;

Rewards
A home bases affiliate marketing business is much easier to manage. You will have to work hard to promote yourself but the best internet business to start is one that gives you an education because running an internet business can be extremely rewarding and the financial rewards can be tremendous.
This could well be the best small business to start at this time.

I joined WA almost 75 days, and I have never been proud of myself the way I am today because I worked really hard for it and I’m gonna continue working. You start very slow but you need at least 3 months until you see some success. I have my own website now in a niche that I love and enjoy working for. The WA community is wonderful and they help us in literally everything, I immediately became a premium member after 3 days of starting my free membership.
Hello, Bruce. Yes I agree with you Wealthy Affiliate is an awesome place to get the help advice and training that you need to become successful online. Thank you for your comments. 🙂
I’ll admit, I was pretty cautious about starting an online business. Fear and failure were the two biggest roadblocks for me. But then I got past it and joined WA. If anyone sees this, you won’t be disappointed by joining.
I’m hoping to have children soon so working from home lets me free up my time so I can spend it with family 🙂
All the best,
~Jason
Hello Jason Thank you for your comments and yes Wealthy Affiliate is an awesome place to get an online education from. You will also enjoy the book I am sending you, for leaving a comment, that is going to help with your stay at home business. Enjoy 🙂
I have small children so I am pleased I cam across this article.
Interesting your reference to small business. I had never considered working from home on your own thing as ‘a small business’ but I guess you are right, that is just what it is. I always think of a 3-4 person enterprise as a small business. But it can be just one.
Love the sound of affiliate marketing, I will check it out.
Hello, Ruth Thank you for your comments and pleased you found it interesting and I hope you enjoy the book I am sending your way for leaving a comment. 🙂
Grabs my attention with the top photo and the title font style. The helpful pictures and spacing between the headings is all professional looking and bright! I was also glad to see that there wasn’t solely WA links and that you were able to try other little programs(like for traffic or designs) and pick out the ones that are successful. Keep it up!
Hello, Derrick. Thank you for your comments and I am pleased you liked my post and layout. I hope you enjoy the book I am sending you for leaving a comment.:)
Hi,
I am very interested in making money from home. Your writing has helped me to widened my view on various opportunities that I could do to achieve my dream.
Your recommended program seem to be the best program that could help me to learn to make money online. Do you have any ideas of how long that it could take in order for me to be successful in making money online so that I can quit my 9-5 job?
Hello, Fadhil Thank you for your question. How long it takes depends entirely upon you. Just know that it’s possible and people do achieve great things online. If you implement what you learn and take action and follow through then it will come together soon enough. If you wait until you have all the knowledge you think you need before you start then that inaction will cost you plenty. Please enjoy the book that is coming your way for leaving a comment. :
Your theme suits your niche very well and the way that you write is very personable and shows you have experience. I also enjoyed this post because; you are right that fear is a major part preventing people from going ahead with wealthy affiliate, but wealthy affiliate is a major community which supports anyone wanting to work online.
Hello,Jazzy Thank you for your comments and yes I agree FEAR is the number barrier to getting ahead in life. Also, you are right about Wealthy Affiliate being a great place to get an online education about earning a living online. 🙂
Hi Peter. I have been learning about affiliate marketing now for a little over a year. I haven’t made a cent from affiliate sales, however I used what I learned to market myself better as an artist and now make enough to have the flexible schedule and tons of free time that I was looking for – through a combination of local events and making lunchtime deliveries for a local restaurant while my son is in school. I still have not given up on the idea of affiliate marketing however. My website is donnaspartyart dot com. If you look at it, you will see how I basically stopped trying to make any money through affiliate marketing around November. Since you are actually successful at doing so, can you please check out my site and tell me what you think I was doing wrong – why it wasn’t working for me. Thanks a bunch! I will be checking back to see what you have to say. Also, thank you for mentioning that it takes a few years to really be successful. How long did it take you until you were making enough to quit your job?
Hello, Donna Thanks for the comments. I looked at your site and there are many things you can do to create income.
Firstly you need to create an ebook to give away for people who want to join your mailing list. In the ebook is where you put links to affiliate products. Affiliate products (if you have them on the site) should be towards the end not at the beginning of your post because you want to be seen as trying to be selling something. Your blog post should be about providing information and ‘giving’ to your readers.
Send your subscribers your latest blog posts and stay in regular contact – don’t wait until you have a big list of contact – begin with your first subscriber.
An ebook is easy just take all you blog posts and put them together in a book format get someone on Fiverr to make you a 3D cover and it’s all done 🙂 Then use this ebook as a free giveaway to get signups up to your list. Only people interested in your ebook will signup so you know you will have a target market for your affiliate products.
Create some more blog pages using the following keywords;
Keyword Avg Traffic QSR KQI SEO

And just keep adding blog posts about your niche with low competition keywords such as those above. Don’t think about selling, think about building traffic to your site and the sales will come.
Let me know if I can help further 🙂
There needs to be a “like” button here so I can like your answer lol :). And to think 4 months ago I would have wondered what those gobbly gook numbers were all about!
Hi Josie ha ha yes that the great thing about Wealthy Affiliate you just learn so much. Thanks for your comments 🙂
Hi Peter!
First let me just say that I thought the video is really well put together.
I get really even want to work with video and affiliate marketing.
But unfortunately I have met so many online models that have cost me a little too much money for that I think it’s fun. Not that I’m going to give up yet.
But many of the free offers that I have tried is really just ended up that I’ve seen a video which really helped me on with my thoughts and dreams.
You describe Wealthy affiliate.
What is it that makes it better than the other platforms that I have tested so far ?
Steen

Thank you for your feedback and please enjoy the Video Marketing Made Easy that I am sending your way. 🙂
Affiliate marketing is very tempting for sure, but how much do you have to invest to get started? I have seen ads for Wealthy Affiliate, the cost of 47.00 is not so much but are there any other hidden costs does scare me to take the first step. I am on a fixed income with very little to invest, I could possibly handle the 47.00 per month if there are not any other hidden costs.
Hello and thank you for your question. The best thing about Wealthy Affiliate is that you can join for free and get some really useful education before deciding if you want to be a premium member. So you you don’t need to pay a monthly membership fee until you are well and ready to do so. Many people do because its worth it for them to do so,but till then you can learns lots about creating websites and building an online business. Thank you for your comments 🙂
I agree with you completely that affiliate marketing should be the first thing to consider for anyone who wants to start a small business online, especially because earning passive income is a dream for many people.
The platform (Wealthy Affiliate) that you recommend is the best in the industry and any serious person who joins will be so happy they did.
Thanks for the info
