In the past, having a business would denote going out of your house and renting a space to sell your product or services. Now it is totally different. You can handle your business at home, and the use of the internet to promote your products and/or services. I have a friend who does that. She makes clothes and sells them online using social networking sites to spread the news, get in touch with her clients and reach out to new ones.
