I want to start a business, but I don't have initial capital, are there businesses which don't require investments?
All businesses require investments, but in some cases the investment is your time not money.
then please give me examples of such businesses John
I think right now is easy to develop Call Center type of business. For instance you may provide export import related information for the companies, or the information related to the tourism. Every Company is looking for the inside information about the local market. I know some Call Centers that provide services related to selling windows and doors, mortgage refinancing services for the banks, Executive search services, etc.

call center is a good idea, generally the 21st century is the century of information, survives the one who is more informed
Quote:What types of business are easy to develop?
I believe it is easy to develop a business you know a lot about...
A business you will love... a business you will develop with passion and pleasure..
a business in which you understand the needs of your customers..

I would like to open a bookmaking system, it's not easy to develop, but it brings a lot of profit.
It brings profit, I agree, but you'll have to garner a team of specialists. It's a risky business.
today the real estate is raising in price really fast. If you have a start-up capital, you don't need to much brain for purchasing real estate and wait until it becomes more expensive. Further you can do whatever you want - either sell it or lease.
Helen I agree - this is an easy business, economic studies are not required. BUT, you obviously need a big start-up capital, and if you were not born rich then you can't have it.
Things like buying cheaper - selling more expensive are long time ago known as being for the lazy ones. The point is that such businesses are not stable.
The cheapest business to develop is the one built online.
I wouldn't say it's cheap to develop an online business, unless you have knowledge in computer programming.

This is because you have relatively low overheads. You can work from home or a small office: you do not have to rent a shop or large office at first. You do not have to rely on being online, though, you can work trade shows and markets, advertise in a magazine, or go door-to-door. You can gain a reputation in either your professional or geographical community. Often consultants work in this way.
Many notable entrepreneurs started small, by selling door-to-door or from a barrow (Ralph Lauren started by selling ties from a barrow in New York, Heinz of Heinz Beans had a vegetable cart, and Richard Branson sold CDs to students)
What these cases also have in common is that they identified a 'gap in the market.' New York businessmen wanted to buy a tie on their way to the subway instead of going shopping. Families always appreciate having goods delivered. And students need cheap stuff! If you get talking to people socially, the might say things like "Wouldn't it be great if somebody made / sold / did such-and-such?"
Good Luck
I guess the main overheads in an online business are the ones spent on the required software (depending on what you are dealing with). Certain software are pretty expensive.
Softwares can be downloaded, but that's another story
is it true that some companies offer money for clicking on certain links? Can I make money by that?

That is a pure scam
I receive such proposals everyday, but never went through them. So you wanna say they actually don't pay anything - it's like you work for a month and then your work is spent in vain.
That is just one of the possibilities.

Actually I meant something else, though Peter is also right. So they pay you pennies for clicking on their own ads, but are receiving fat pay check from Google every month, so you're just a small soldier out there.

yes, but still, it brings money. However I would never try to do this business. This business is good for students - not much time spent and easy money.
If you want to earn and expand your business, I would recommend you to open a PPC website, as it's one of the most profitable online businesses of all!
It's not the most profitable. On the contrary, it deals with easy money. What is profitable indeed is to create auction websites, or, generally, websites that would involve a great number of visits per day.
Buy something cheaper and sell it more expensive. This is what most people do. Some buy heavy goods, other simply buy currency by clicking computer mouses... it's easy and profitable.
