There are an almost limitless number of business opportunities available today. They include everything from sales, real estate, small business, home business, marketing, franchising, advertising, business services, internet business, etc. But many of them require a large investment. Many internet businesses only require an initial small investment, but many are not profitable. A lot of people have spent a large amount of time and money on businesses that failed. Some of the best business opportunities do not take a lot of time or money. Most of these are internet businesses. One of the best ways to make money on the internet is by becoming an affiliate with another internet business. ClickBank is one of these. With ClickBank you promote a product as an affiliate with an internet marketer. You will get a percentage for every referred customer sale.

There are many investment opportunities available: mutual funds, stocks, bonds, Treasury securities, savings bonds, variable annuities, commodities, commodity futures, options, Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), and a lot more. But, you need to trust the company that is making these investments on your behalf or you may lose money. Also, you need a substantial amount of money to produce a substantial profit. If you have money to invest, I would recommend either mutual funds or real estate.

To invest in mutual funds, find a reputable broker. I do not recommend using online brokers unless you have a great deal of knowledge and experience investing in stocks and mutual funds. Determine what kind of investor you are. Do you fit in the conservative, moderate, or aggressive category. A word to the wise though. Watch your funds to make sure they are performing well. Brokers will not call you if your funds are doing poorly.

To invest in real estate, find a reputable real estate agent. Buying houses to rent is an excellent way to boast your income. Make sure your down payment is enough so that you receive a positive cash flow from your rent after you subtract your mortgage payment, maintenance expenses, etc.
