Seeking a "No Hassle" Home Based Business

I'm looking for a "no hassle, no selling" home based business. I'm looking for something that pretty much either sells itself or runs itself. I don't like going door to door or trying to push something off on anyone. I hate "pushy" sales people! I have looked at a few ideas online but the problem with MOST of them is: you NEVER actually know what the product/business is until you fill out the form to listen to a 5-10 minute blurb. And even then, you don't know what the company is about. Very frustrating and time consuming. So, if anyone has any ideas for a home-based business that is worth the time, please let me know. Thanx!

What can I do next?

I unfortunately don't have any advice, but I wanted to ask if you hear of any good businesses please pass the info. along to me. I am a teacher and I have a 3 year old and a 3 1/2 month old. I just started back to work and am miserable because I had over 3 months off with my boys and I got so used to being home with them. Right now I am up for anything, but I do need some sort of income if I am able to stay home. I totally sympathize with you!!

Be very careful of the ARBONNE ladies!!! I spent MONTHS researching it and deciding if I was going to join or not... I didn't... it can be very costly to start, and if you want to get going to actually make income, you have to sell A LOT of product... they talk about your "warm market" which basically boils down to your friends and family... I just couldn't picture myself trying to sell a $20 dollar bottle of shampoo to my sister's every month....
I hate to say it, but the "work from home" jobs don't really exist... I've searched high and low and every where in between! Unless you have a specific trade, like photography, make-up artist, designer, and so on... You'd still have to leave your home and go out to perform your tasks, work with clients, ect...
not to be a drag or anything - just realistic. Medical transcriptioning does seem legit - there's just training involved... and I didn't have the time to invest in that...
My best advice is to go to the library - and what ever your niche is, try to work with that... any "home business" you do will take time, and a certain amount of monetary investment - it just depends on what you can afford... I certainly couldn't afford the $700 plus amount it would have taken to get up and running with arbonne....

I have a home based business and I love what I do. It's not a get rich quick scheme. I work hard and I reap the rewards. What are you good at? What do you enjoy doing? What do you have experience in? I would focus on those things and I am sure you will find something that suits your personality and needs!

Good luck. About the only way to know if home a based business is legit is to do it all yourself. I would suggest posting some items, (maybe baby clothes/items) on Ebay or Craig's list. I have been very successful in selling on Craigslist.com, but it is not by any means an alternate income. The benefit is that it is free to list and to sell. Plus, it is local so there is no shipping invloved. I hope this helps.
