An obvious place to start is the beginning, not necessarily.
What you should start with is what your good at.
Do you excel at writing, can you do your own articles, write your own sales copy, turn out exciting ads for classifieds or safelists?
What about the financial side of your business. Should go try and do it all yourself or hire a good accountant?
Just how much time will you have to contribute to your new business? If your a stay at home Mom, how will you cope with the demands of family on your time?
How organized are you?
Can you set up a home office with all the necessary equipment needed?
* a high speed computer with cable or modeum is ideal.
* a good printer with either a scanner or fax combined.
* an answering machine, or you can get something online that is similar that will take your messages.
* a voip phone system or an online alternative - skype is free if your client also has it on his computer, cheap off line rates.
This is just the basics to working at home. Then you have to decide just what it is that you want to actually do to make an income.
I have a group called Working at Home. / Off or Online Line. You are invited to join.
Start off with one page - see Weebly.com. Join the group.

Hi Kathie. We have a couple of things in common. Our nationality and our passion for working from home. I can't say I have been successful from a financial point of view but have certainly learned a whack and the Internet has changed my life. Another good e-book that should be in everyone's e-library is by Don VanPelt WebsiteTrafficology.com. You can just download it without any information requested it to obtain it.

Getting started with Internet Marketing was a post that I made recently about how you could get a download of an e-book written by Martin Salter on marketing basics. He also has a product out that I would like to include in this group "working from home" because it has a great e-book and as of right now staff to answer any questions and a f.ree website.
See the above mentioned post or contact me for the links.
