Creating a profitable home-based business:

To work from home, either full or part-time, you need to engage in a business using your own home as a base of operations. Some home-based businesses, especially online businesses that do not require the management of large inventories of products, can even be operated from anywhere — without the need to stay at home all the time.

Of course, there are pros and cons to consider when deciding whether or not a home-based business idea is right for you.
