If you want to set up your own business at home, then you need a product to sell. But what? If you are expert in an area, then probably you might make something or provide a service. But what might the rest of us do?

For a start, unless you desperately want to, the produce or products that you will sell through your work from home system do not actually need to be shipped to you for repackaging and sending somewhere else. There are ample of other alternatives!

You might try drop-shipping, where you accept the orders and then pass them on to a wholesaler who sends the products out for you. But, this still leaves you handling payments and orders. Not only does your business grind to a halt when you go on holiday, you are exposed to chargebacks and fraud.

So, for me, the best products to sell for a homeworking plan are affiliate items. Here you are just matching impending customers and available sellers. Let someone else deal with packaging, chargebacks and customer complaints whilst you move on to the next customer, earning commissions along the way.

But, where do you start? Well look to your interests and hobbies. Not just does this make you more authoritative in making your adverts, it makes the selling more interesting and later steps for example article writing much simpler.

Once you have decided on a niche, let's say golf, scuba diving or soccer, pay a visit to affiliate forums and affiliate directories. Also, visit some of the better known, and maybe not so well known, retailers in the industry and see which ones advertise their own affiliate schemes.

Now that you know what retailers you can work with, see if any offer up stats for example Earning Per Click (EPC), which will show you for every affiliate click to their site, what the average order is. Be aware that some might offer stats for Earnings Per Hundred Clicks and still call this EPC, or EPM, which is per thousand clicks.

This can give you a good idea as to which retailers to sign up with and perhaps start working with. All you need to do now is to perhaps decide which of their product range you are going to work with at first.

But keep your mind open to change. You might like to pick a few items from several merchants and see which retailers work best for you, rather than relying on general trends.

Of course, loads will also depend on how you will be selling. If you are only promoting within your own country then this works well, but if your promotion will work outside of your country, but your merchant could't handle foreign orders, then you have a problem.

In this case, someone like ClickBank who provide electronic goods that can be sold about the world might only have an edge. Maybe, instead of trying to promote highly expensive drivers, which each pay good commissions, lower cost ebooks that sell about the world would be a better choice.

Find a product you are happy to work with, but be ready to change if the merchant is not serving you well.
