Who has a Home-based Business? Or who wants to start a Home-based Business? What category does it fall in, what do you do? Do you have a website or strictly brick and mortar store? How long have you been in business for yourself, or when do you plan on starting your home business? Happy mylotting!

i sell natural candles out of my home, its called scent-sations and so far i love it.. i actually joined because i wanted the discount they offered (50%) and they autoship like a book club, every month i open up my mailbox and i have a 16oz jar, 12 votives and a jar of soy soap. its perfect.. i can share my candles with my friends and family, promote healthier alternatives to parafin candles and i get new scents every month. i send out free samples if you'd like some. i've been doing candles for about 8 months and i can't say i've ever had second thoughts about doing it.. are you thinking of joining a program? i also belong to a networking group of home business members and we rotate parties every month.. i have the link onf my profile if you are interested, or if you just want some free samples.

surprisingly yes it is profitiable. i say surprisingly because i dont put that much effort into it. i sell them to friends, family, and on my website. i let the candles do the talking. its a bit of a commitment at first, $50. a month, but i can resell the stuff they send for about 20 over that. you get a 50% discount (roughly) on all merchandise and you set your own pricing. enter the drawing on my page soycandleparties dot com and i'll send you out some samples... thanks!

Yes I have had a home-based business for many years. As a beekeeper-farmer in Ontario Canada my farm has Farm-gate sales, which means my customers come to the Farm to buy the Honey. We encourage them to bring their own containers to save money, each season we sell around 10,000 of fresh liquid honey at our honeyhouse on the Farm.

I write freelance, blog and work on my websites. Last year I left a job because I believed I could replace the income through working from home. A year later, I not only replaced the income,I gave myself a raise. I have the freedom to work from anywhere. All I need is my laptop and occasionally an internet connection. Leaving that job was the best thing I've done in a long time!
