It would depend on your aptitude, ability and interests. There is not one best home based business, because it depends on what your ability to do is. It can be service or product related. There are too numerous business opportunities to list.

It is really about what is the best home business for you. Does the home business opportunity fit your skills and interests?

You can start off by becoming an affiliate marketer - promoting other people's products or services for a commission.

Start-up is fairly easy - you can get a site for free from blogger or wordpress - and most, if not all, merchants that offer an affiliate marketing program include promotional materials for their affiliates to use. This can include banners, ads, videos and/or email marketing sets.

Will affiliate marketing give you instant income. No, I it will be hard to find an online business that will give instant money. It will give you income, the amount and stability of which will depend on;

1. Product demand and market saturation]

2. Competition

3. Promotion

If there is no product demand then there is no point in promoting that product. Same if the market is already saturated although you can still make do in this category.

If the competition is not much and the product or service you're offering seems better then you have a fighting chance. Of course you're going to need to promote it like crazy in order for you to stand out and be noticed. This would be especially true if there are a lot of you promoting the same product from the same merchant.

Affiliate marketing may or may not be the best depending on your point of view but can be an effective residual income earner which will be good for you in the long run.
