If you have knowledge about a particular subject, a great home based internet business to get involved with is information marketing.

You could start by marketing various eBooks through your home based internet business (there are thousands available on Clickbank) or you could try writing your own. Which is probably the best way to go, because all the profit then belongs to you.

You do not need to be an expert to turn knowledge into extra income. You just have to know more than the average person on your chosen topic.

The vast majority of people who use the internet, use it to find information. You could be one of the many people making money online by selling it.

There are three key components for a successful home based internet business. Firstly, you need products or services that provide you with a recurring income, where you sell it once and you get paid every month for as long as the customer uses it. Second, products and services that pay you a commission when you sell them. And third, high ticket items that pay you in excess of $1000 per sale.
