If you are looking for a real home based business that you can run either part time or full time to fit in with your daily schedule, all the following programs are suitable and I can personally vouch for their legitimacy as I make money from each one.

My Credit Card Cash - This is a very simple home business: you get paid to promote credit cards. You get a free custom built website, free training, free business cards, and $25 in free advertising. The rates of commission are generous (up to $121 for giving away one credit card). Nowadays everybody needs a credit card, and people are always on the lookout for more favorable terms. As an MCCC member you can offer a choice of over 140 types of credit card. You don't have to do any selling or recruiting, and there are no membership fees. You will be promoting something people want. There is a one time $1 fee to activate your website for a month's free trial, and the training they give you alone is worth hundreds of dollars. Seriously, you owe it to yourself to give this program a try. Click here to >> take the 1 month for $1 trial.

SFI This is the number 1 home based business. My personal review says it all - click here to read >> SFI Review.

Plug-in Profit Site - This is where I started my home based business career. It has recently been updated and is an ideal way for the complete beginner to start Internet marketing. The Plug-in Profit Site is a complete turnkey online business. You get a free website set up with 5 income streams (including SFI and Leisure Audio Books) and ready to start pulling profits for you.

Leisure Audio Books This is a great way for beginners to start making money online and it is a FREE home business opportunity. You might already have discovered that a genuine free home business is a rarity but Leisure Audio Books is the real deal. You get your own online audio bookstore to promote and you get paid 15% commission on all sales when you are a free member. Optional low-cost paid membership upgrades are available to enable you to earn 20% or 25% commissions. You will be promoting a real (and very popular product) and you can also earn commission by referring new members to the programme. I highly recommend this as an excellent way for beginners to get started with making money online. Click here >> to read the Leisure Audio Books Review.

My Power Mall Membership of MPM is completely free. You get your own online shopping mall (think Amazon) where you can get rebates for shopping online. You also get the chance to promote MPM by giving away free personal shopping malls to other people and you will earn a percentage of all the shopping rebates they earn. At the moment there are not many retail outlets in MPM that will ship to places outside the USA (more are being added), so you won't benefit much from the personal shopping rebates but you can earn hefty percentages from purchases made by people in your downline.

Top Online Profits will provide you with your own customisable work at home directory website set up ready with inbuilt income streams. One of the great things about the SURVEYS ETC Some people wonder why companies would pay them good money just to answer a few easy questions online. The answer is simple: a few years ago these companies needing customer's opinions would hold market research days. At these events hundreds would turn up to test new products and complete surveys. It cost the companies millions to stage these events, as paying for people to physically travel to these venues was not cheap. With the rise of the internet however, these companies can create online surveys. These surveys cost nothing to send out, and nothing for the customer to complete. Therefore the companies can afford to pay much more. By paying $25 - $45* these companies are actually saving money compared to what they used to pay.

The Work At Home Directory was created to assist anyone wishing to make money working at home.

Virtual Assistance is one of the fastest growing work at home areas but what is a Virtual Assistant?

A Virtual Assistant never needs to meet her clients and so can live on the other side of the world and still provide the same services.
