The answer we give people is one they have heard of before: Video Professor.  Yeah, that Video Professor.  The one with the commercials telling you to try his FREE CD’s.  You know why he has been around so long, because he puts out a GREAT product.

Trying to learn ebay, FrontPage, Quickbooks / Quicken or any of the other 32 program lessons he offers from a book or website is next to impossible.  People learn and retain information much easier when they actually see it done on video.

Click on the banner in the corner of this post and take a look at his FREE OFFER.  His free offer covers your choice of over 30 different “learning courses”.  You might learn the skills you need to help you in your own home business, get the promotion you want at work or maybe even help you get the job you have been looking for.

It’s true that all the businesses mentioned below can be started cheap or free, it’s a lot easier if you start your business with money in the bank.  Money makes things easier.  With money you can pay to advertise more, or pay people to do the things you don’t want to do or don’t know how to do.

With the current economic problems and high unemployment rates the government and other private institutions are trying to help by giving away grant money.  Don’t start thinking you are going to get millions or billions like the banks, but wouldn’t a few thousand help get you started?

Click on the link above and check out this site on getting grants.  This isn’t just some thick book being sold by some loud guy with a question mark jacket on a late night infomercial.  It’s an entire site built around telling you what grants are available, and HELPING YOU GET THEM.

Like everything else we recommend, you can get STARTed CHEAP.  Just a $2.29 shipping fee is all it takes to get started.

Lots of people asked us if we knew of any way they could make money just visiting the sites they already visit: MySpace, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and other Social Sites.

We searched the internet and tried to find a company that teaches how to make money with one of these sites. We were shocked when we found a company that teaches how to make money from ALL OF THE SITES.

We normally try to find companies that offer FREE TRIALS, but this company is so amazing we are going to recommend it anyway, plus it really is CHEAP!!

Click on the banner in the upper left hand corner of this post to visit the site.  You are going to be shocked when you see all they have to offer, and the incredible low price they are offering it at.

Ebay isn’t for everyone, but it is where I think the most money is made.  Running ads on Google (mentioned in the previous post) also isn’t for everyone.  Actually, there is probably nothing that is for everyone, except maybe winning the lottery.

I have just found another resource that is offering a free trial on a home based business.  This one is about making money with blogs.  Blogs is the term used for “Web Logs” and you are reading one now.  This is my Blog for StartCheap.com.  All I do is sit in front of my computer and write about things that interest me.   Currently my interest is home based businesses using the computer, so that is what I write about.  I used to have blogs about movies, hockey and the stock market, but I mostly just write for this one now.

Do you think you can write about things that interest you?  Want to make some money doing it?  Click on the banner in the top corner of this post and check out what this company is offering, FOR FREE.

We also received some responses from people that liked the idea of starting a business with a FREE TRIAL period, but didn’t want to work with eBay.  We recommend eBay #1 because of the things we mentioned before, but it’s not perfect for everyone.  Some people don’t want to deal with putting up auctions, dealing with bidder questions and support, dealing with PayPal and non-paying bidders.

We have found a business that will let you get started with Google.  Most people search Google for information, some are looking for the information on where to buy something, or where to find something that solves their current problem.  This is where you come in, give them the information they want, and make a commission doing it.  All you have to do is place ads on Google.  When the searcher clicks your ad and visits the merchant’s sales page and buys you make a commission.  You don’t have to deal with anything else except getting your affiliate commission check.  The merchant handles deliveries, payments and customer service.

Obviously it not that easy.  You have to learn how to write an ad that converts and gets reader to click.  You have to learn how to manage your Google Adwords account.  You have to learn other things here and there.

We have found a service that will help you get started and teach you how to use Google as your “Home Business”.  Like everything else we recommend here, it has to be FREE or CHEAP.  This comes with a FREE TRIAL so you get to see how it works before you decide if you want to pursue this as your business.

Just click on the banner at the top of this post to start your FREE TRIAL.  If you don’t like it, cancel.

We were shocked by the amount of people that requested more information on starting an eBay business.

We didn’t want to recommend another training source, we like the one mentioned yesterday.  We tried to find something that would compliment the information provided yesterday and provide some information to people who aren’t complete beginners in selling on eBay.

The company we found that has the information we want to provide for our readers is:  Doba.  And once again, it’s not CHEAP, it’s FREE!  Doba is a product supplier to many of eBay’s Power Sellers, and now they can supply you also.  They do offer training also, but being a supplier is their main business and it’s why I think their information would work hand in hand with the eBay business information source in the post below.

I could go on and on about them, but they explain it better and provide a small tour of their site.  Just click the box in the upper corner of this post to take a look at what they have to offer, and remember…… it has a FREE Trial.

We believe that a home eBay business is the best business to start.  One of the hardest problems that any business has is finding customers, and eBay does that for you!

When someone goes to eBay they are probably looking for something to buy!  When someone searches on Google they are usually looking for information.  Who do you want to put your products in front of:  Someone looking to spend money or someone looking for information?

We have found a company that will get you set up with your own ebay business, and it’s better than CHEAP, it’s FREE.  This business gives you tons of information and service and a couple of really good bonus packs you should take a look at.
