Doesn't it make sense that this is the perfect time for a green home based business? Choose a business that has an emphasis on green products.
Look for one that is easy to use so that it is user friendly.
Find one that uses products that you are already familiar with, or one that has stores that you already know.
Pick a home based business that has a great system in place and a marketing system to help you show your prospects and generate leads.
