Work at home, online business?

[toledo13]

Hi all. Does anyone work at home (exclusively) with an online business, blog, etc??? If so, what company do you work for, how did you start up, etc. ANY details would be great!

most work from home scams tell you to sell the idea to "sell the idea to sell the idea...."

I sure woul dlike to know of something real. Our family business is related to real estate sales and construction. I am expecting a very lean winter.

I would also suggest going to www.irs.gov and order the following publications which will probably help a lot.

334 - Tax Guide for Small Business (For Individuals Who Use Schedule C or C-EZ)
463 - Travel, Entertainment, Gift, and Car Expenses
535 - Business Expenses
551 - Basis of Assets
552 - Recordkeeping for Individuals
560 - Retirement Plans for Small Business (SEP, SIMPLE and Qualified Plans)
583 - Starting a Business and Keeping Records
587 - Business Use of Your Home
946 - How to Depreciate Property

And also, if the time can be spared and at and minimal cost, take a first semester Pinciples of Accounting course at a local Community College. Not necessarily to keep the books, but to get an understanding of what the business is doing.

Note that most small business fail within the first few years, not because the owner did not know the subject but because they did not understand the accounting.
