I have one that I am considering. YTB (your travel business) I have a co-worker who has gotten into it and is doing pretty well. He plans to go full time with it from home in another year if all continues to go well. I will get the info and PM it to you. It is of course a MLM, which I generally do not like, but he is quite happy with the returns thus far.

MLM means that you only really make substantial money by building the business. You do that by brining in others to rep for the company as well. As you bring in people (who also bring in people) you move up and make a percentage of your down line (all those below you.) It is a common system today. Many companies in travel, cosmetics, etc. are MLM and most are a lot of BS. I do have a friend who sells Arbonne, a line of cosmetics. She has been recruiting others for two years now and just last month earned enough to get a new Mercedes SUV on Arbonne. She has worked hard - her monthly income is substantial too. It can be done if you work hard and go with a reputable company.

That sounds like what used to be called a pyramid.

Back to the original topic, any suggestions that aren't necessarily a pyramid scheme?

I would not all them schemes. But to actually start a home based business that is not MLM will be difficult to find without investing a large sum of cash.

The pyramid schemes worked because basically you paid money into the scheme in order to buy the right to recruit your own payers, and they would recruit their own, etc., but eventually it would collapse, as the base of the pyramid would get too big--not enough new recruits available or willing to buy in and pass money on up the chain (if it had not been shut down by the police by then), and only those high up in the chain (there early on) actually made out good with it--the rest of the people mostly didn't even get their money back.
MLM requires a lot of sweat equity--and draws heavily on personal friendship and contact lists--in order to generate clients and sub-distributors (who have to draw on their friends and contacts, etc. etc.), and so it is difficult to keep it going too. Think Tupperware parties on a regular basis as the income source. Oh, and if the person doing the MLM takes the pay in products or in product discounts, then there might not be any income anyway, or even a net outgo!
