I bought a small college recruiting franchise one time for $20,000. I have also started online businesses for virtually nothing. Here are 2 legitimate online business models you can start for free or nearly free and make money at home.

1. Network marketing. Get paid for selling products and recruiting people to sell products. Many of these companies can be joined for under $100.

As product moves through your downline you earn a small commission on it based on the compensation plan of the mlm company you are in. The more product that's moving through your group the more money you are going to make.

The big advantage to this business model is you do not have to do all the work yourself. You can leverage your time and duplicate your efforts by enrolling new distributors.

This is a great online business model because the Internet can sort through prospects for you. You can do most of your follow-up by email.

If you join the right kind of company you can even build a worldwide business very quickly. You want to find MLM opportunities that feature Internet based products that can be accessed primarily online.

2. Affiliate marketing. I personally have done very well with this business model making money in 3 different ways.

You can do the same thing by joining affiliate opportunities that pay you by the click, by the lead, and by the sale. Most affiliate programs are free to join so anyone can get started regardless of their current situation.

Some of the most popular affiliate opportunities to join include Amazon, ClickBank, Commission Junction, and Google Adsense. You might want to take a look at niche affiliate marketing.

One good opportunity is Cash Crate. You can recruit affiliates to join this program for free and make money when they take paid surveys.

In this instance your target market is people who are looking for ways to make money. This is a good niche to be in because you never run out of prospects.

Many people build information websites and monetize them with Google Adsense. In this business model you get paid by the click when people come to your site and click on ads sold by Google.

Google Asense is free to join. You can start a free blog at Blogger.com to help you get approved faster by Google for their Adsense affiliate program.

Affiliate marketing and network marketing are definitely legitimate online business models. These are both free, or nearly free to join, and anyone can make money with them.
