This was something that I was interested in several years ago and I was successfully able to start my own home-based low-cost business.

There are several home-based businesses with low-cost starts up's to consider. In order to pick the right one for you, you'll need to assess your skills, interest, and past experience. But here's a quick list of some home-based businesses to get you started:

-Online training/tutorials
-Consulting
-Freelancing - content writing, copywriting, social media marketing & management, website design, graphic design
-Dropshipping
-Digital Product Sales
-Affiliate Marketing

Hope this helps and I am happy to chat if you have more questions about this. Good luck!
