Most things that work have startup costs. You may want to try out surveys online, or if you are an expert at something, try out InfoBarrel. There are plenty of sites that will pay you to do market research. I recently got paid $100 for answering a survey, so you can do it, too! If you would like to keep up to date with the surveys, you should check out the forums at slickdeals.net as it seems to have a loyal forum.

I also met someone on Mahalo who has put together a website with a list of surveys:

Most people today are now looking for a plan B, you have to ask yourself what could I be excited about doing. I have been in Network marketing, home based business for 6 years now. One thing I coach people to do is approach if you were going to start a business.

So you need to understand your product.

How big is your market for that product and how much does that industry make overall.

Does your product have a unique niche, and can it compete against other products if there is competition.

Price point, is your product worth what your selling it for.

Most companies in home based business have a problem with this, either the product which you can buy in a store has to be sold for higher value because of the mark-up to pay the reps.

or-

You have a lesser quality product that you sell for less, and have a lot of unsatisfied customers.

But not all hope is lost, there are companies out there that have a great product and the price point is competing with the regular companies and they are getting the portion of the pie.

So after all of this I think the best industry is Travel.

For Example in 2007 travel did 7 trillion dollars in business, but you are probably saying yeah that was when the economy was doing good. But in 2008, which I would probably would relate that year as worse as the depression. How much do you think travel grossed that year?

8 trillion dollars, WOW a whole trillion dollars in one year, it was the only company in any industry that has gross a trillion dollars in one year ever.

So if you been to business school you would understand something right away. If you even got a fraction of a fraction of that you would change your family's tree for life.

So if you want take a look at this website and if you have questions I would love to answer any you might have.
