Entrepreneur Magazine has a list of Low Cost Startup Businesses, some of which can be started for $500. I suggest you check out their list
http://www.entrepreneur.com/lowcostbusinesses/0,6617,,00.html
The best business, however, will depend on what you want, how you define to be interesting. A person may consider a pet sitting business to be the most exciting work in the world, while another person would rather watch TV than take care of dogs.
The key is to determine what your interests are, what you want to do, what is suitable for your lifestyle and your overall goals, and what can fit with your resources.
Dan Ramsey in his book "101 Best Home Businesses" has a chapter on how to find YOUR best home business. He suggests these 10 steps:
1. List 5 things you do best
2. List how others would benefit from what you do best
3. Find out how to give people what they want
4. Learn the value of your services to others
5. Find out who else offers similar services
6. Learn from the successes of others
7. Learn from the failures of others
8. Plan your own success
9. Make low cost mistakes
10. Enjoy what you do and how you do it
He then made suggestions on the best home businesses according to type. Here are a few of them:
Best Businesses Using Craft or Physical Skills
- antique restoration
- auto detail service
- carpet cleaning business
- errand/delivery service
- housecleaning business
Best Service Businesses
- bed and breakfast operator
- caregiver
- catering service

$500 will get you a domain name, webhosting for a year, and possibly 4000 click throughs from Google Adwords or Overture, depending on your keywords.
If you've really done a great job of research, and copywriting, you could be making a good return on your investment, reinvesting profits into additional clicks, and continue growing your business. |

You need to get out there and work this out for yourself.
You will get offered literally tons of stuff on the Internet. Almost all of it will have made someone somewhere some money, but it may never make you any.
You need to spend some time researching and looking to find the best option for YOU.
Please feel free to contact me at any time via my Web site. I am happy to discuss with you via email/chat/etc without any pressure at all.
Cheers

I have some great small business suggestions for you but If I say them outloud (in this forum) You might be swamped with competition. Email Bruce at boatclub@go.com and I will make some suggestions that will match your personal interest.
I recently retired from the real estate business in Central Florida after 27 years. For the past two years I have been offering free business mentoring services to young entrepreneurs. I can offer a variety of small business ideas depending on your personal interest and abilities. I will also make myself available for consultations by email or phone. I do not charge for these services.
I must tell you that it is very difficult to get any (legal) business into a positive cash flow position that would be equivalent to a full time job. Most businesses take at least a few months to a year or more to start generating that kind of income. Are you a patient and dedicated person? Can you afford to wait?
If you want to know more, please feel free to write to Bruce at boatclub@go.com . I'm sure I can help. |

Buy two "PrimeTime Rotisseries" from Ron Popiel and some chicken and start a Rotissery chicken company. Don't worry about the food permit until you get caught. |

not much really.
You could act as an intener intermediary, or if you have a talent, you could utillise that via the net. But, in the real world.. its time to start squeezing some lemons I'm afraid. |
