If you start with some local parties, you can launch an inexpensive website, do some creative marketing and you are in business.

Golf is an industry that is suffering a bit right now, but for avid golfers, they will always find a way to play. In most cities there are numbers of golf courses and they will always have available tee times, especially during a slow time for them. By contacting the club, it will be quite simple to get them to agree to let you promote their available tee times. Even if each club has its own website, unless players are constantly checking every course in town, they will never really know who has times available. Once you have 8 or 10 local courses with all of their tee times available, your site will start generating traffic. Once you have some traffic, contact some local golf suppliers and ask if you can promote their products on your site. If any sales take place, they will pay you a commission and again, with a little effort you are making money in golf. Offering discount golf is a great business to start and you have likely started a business which will be a great benefit to your local area and after you have success with one city, expand into the surrounding communities.

Again, with creative marketing, you will be a player in an industry that you already have knowledge and be earning money.

With any business once you are up and running, you should seek out partners. There are many companies that are always looking to affiliate with a creative person. New companies will gladly hook up with you and pay you for any sales that are generated from your site. Find products that complement what you are selling. From a small acorn, big oak trees grow and your home-based business will do the same.

Concentrate on local areas first. Most people think that if a business is marketed to the world via the Internet, more people will see it and visit the site. That is only true if you can market the site to the millions of online viewers. You can make a mark on a small scale to get started and then spend some money to take it to the next level. Be smart.

Building a business from scratch sounds like a daunting task. The Internet has made it much simpler, but it will still require time and effort. If there are any creative bones in your body, include any ideas that you have and see what happens. This is yours! Make it something that you can be proud of and you can have something of value in a very short time.
