A home business is one that operates from home, as the name suggests. Increasingly it is assumed, and it is also usually the case, that a home business operates through the Internet and is therefore based online.
A home business operating online falls into roughly two categories: it either sells a product or it sells a service. Most home businesses sell products, usually digital products. The big advantage of operating in this way is the fact that digital products do not take up any real space, so there is no stock to worry about.
Digital products are also very easy to deliver. They are usually either delivered by email, or made available to the customer for download. The disadvantage of using digital products is the fact that they can easily be pirated. Digital products can easily be copied and passed on to others who have not paid for them. This is illegal, of course, but it occasionally happens.
