You've heard the saying, "It takes money to make money," right? What if you only have $500 to start a business? Could you do it? Yes, you can!

35 Home-Based Business Startups for Under $500

Do you want to work from home? Do you want to be your own boss? Were you one of the many Americans who received a "stimulus" check? Why not invest that money into your passion? Find your dream job and work from home being your own boss! I will show you how, step by step.

I would call myself a serial entrepreneur.

I caught the "business bug" at age 13 when I started a neighborhood babysitting business. My parents were also small business owners who worked tirelessly to provide for me. Ever since, I have started businesses, worked freelance gigs, and mainly been my own boss on my own terms for years. (My resume looks a little cluttered, but I never plan on working for anyone else again!)

It's easier than ever to build a lucrative career from the comfort of your home.

If the idea of being your own boss seems like a pipe dream, think again. In the US alone, more than eight million people work from home full-time, some as employees, and others as the proprietors of their own businesses.

There are many reasons people choose to work from home, but for the most part, it is the technology that makes them able to do it. Modern technology is opening up the possibility of working from home to an increasing number of people.

Sometimes, all it takes is the tech and a business license.

Technology is also, at least partially, the reason why so many home-based businesses are succeeding. Today you can fix a bug on a network server on the other side of town or join a meeting half-way across the world without leaving your sofa; work product can be submitted via the internet; documents can be downloaded, signed, and scanned electronically; and phone calls can be re-routed and connected to various locations in a manner of seconds.
