eBay Powerseller asked:


I keep seeing posts for work at home, be your own boss, with no investment.

I have started several home businesses on my own. All have required some type of investment, whether it is buying books to read, attending seminars, taking a class, buying supplies, purchasing software, advertising, etc.

I don’t understand how anyone can expect to start a business,or even work from home, with no investment. Even if you have a skilled trade, such as a plumber, electrican, or hair dresser, you still have to purchase your tools or supplies. It takes $ to make $.

My profession is selling on eBay. I see complaints about eBay fees, but eBay puts you in touch with 220 million users that you couldn’t get otherwise. Try putting an ad in a newspaper that criculates to 1 million readers - it would cost you way more than eBay fees.

Everyone has to advertise to get business, and that costs money. How else will you reach potetial customers?

Small business owners want to back me up?
