Christian Home Based Business Ideas
Coming up with Christian home based business ideas does not have to be about Bibles and prayer items. In this post I will reveal many more exciting products that can be truly associated with one of God’s main attributes – Love. To know God and Jesus is to know love and providing items of love and compassion is fulfilling one of the most important commandments. For me Christianity is not a religion, and though there will be many who will disagree, there will be just as many if not more who will understand what I mean.
We love because He first loved us
As a Christian I do my best to walk in love and not judge anyone based on their race, gender, religion, or sexual orientation. I do this because this is what God wants all of us to be like and once you start living like this, this crazy and evil world does not get you as angry as it could. At least that is how God’s love makes me feel. This in turn makes me want to do the same to others.
Now when thinking of home based business opportunities that focus on Christianity, anything having to do with love and the spreading of love to others, has plenty of potential. What are some of the products or services that embody the emotion of love? Below are some ideas of various niche markets.
- Flowers and plant sales
- Non-violent and educational/uplifting video games
- Clothing and fashion accessories with positive graphics
- Spiritual jewelry
- Family and children DVD movies
- Christian dating services
- New age, gospel, R&B, hip hop, rock music (see below video)
- Bibles, books, greeting cards, keepsake ornaments, and much more
All of the above and many more types of business markets can all classify as Christian home based business opportunities for those who want to show God’s love. Basically anything that does not promote violence, sexual immorality, judgement and discrimination can all be classified as Christian businesses. But how can you take advantage of these from your home?
Christian affiliate marketing programs
When people are passionate about anything that directly affects them, they tend to spend a lot of money on that passion. Being passionate for the spreading of God’s love through various channels can be quite profitable. There is nothing wrong with making money in this way, for God wants us all to live life abundantly as long as we follow his word.
Think of what good you can do with the money you make. I am not talking about just the amount you tithe but going beyond and doing God’s work. Taking care of the poor, the sick, the needy, and not just with the money but with products and services that give hope, strength, love and all that Jesus preached and lived by.
With the global economy still not as strong as it once was, starting an online business and becoming an affiliate marketer of all kinds of Christian products is a great way to spread blessings to many people and make money at the same time. Think of the billions of people you can reach all over the world with your website and how you can help them to know more about Christianity.
Making money from the comfort of your home in online affiliate marketing within the Christian niche will open up many possibilities. The best part of all of this will be that you can start and build your entire internet marketing website on a very low budget. I am talking in the ballpark of about $50 per month, because it really does not cost that much to work this kind of online marketing business.
What you need to get started
As with all true affiliate marketing businesses, you will need a website to write about these products and services. Obtaining a website and building it on your own is super easy in this day and age. I explain where you can do this down below. But for now just know that your startup cost will most likely be free, especially if you build your business where I have built mine.
The next thing you will need is a passion for the subject matter you choose, whether it be clothing, jewelry, music, dating and many of the other Christian niche markets like I mention above. Building a profitable and sustainable work at home online business will require a lot of determination. But if you are passionate enough to spread God’s love, it should carry you through.
Then you will need to join some Christian affiliate marketing programs so you can promote their products on your website and earn money. To get you started I have listed below two of my favorite affiliate programs that are both FREE to join. The links go to their affiliate details page on their website so you can see what you can make and what kinds of products they have for sale.
- Kerusso’s Affiliate Program = They offer a huge selection of T-Shirts, Apparel, Jewelry, Books, Gifts, Wall Décor, iPhone and iPad Cases, Travel Items and so much more!
- Christian Flower Affiliate Program = This floral and plant company is just like most other online florists, with the exception that they also offer specific spiritual vases for various occasions.
Where you can get started for free
To get started with your Christian home based business I highly recommend you begin where I started my online affiliate marketing business. Not only will you be able to start for free but you will be joining an online training community that believes in one of the many values that represent the loving nature of good-hearted people – helping others to succeed.
This pay it forward atmosphere can only be found at Wealthy Affiliate University, the #1 rated online training and business building community. I have never experienced a more help-oriented membership only business endeavor. Though they do not claim to be Christian or religious in any way, they definitely practice a loving and freely giving environment.
I absolutely love it there because not only is it easy to learn all that you will ever need to succeed and have everything all in one place, but if you get stuck and have a question, you will get your answer within minutes of asking. The support is amazing and it is 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. So many people are succeeding here and those who work hard and do not quit, go on to greater things.
If you want to start your own Christian work from home online business, promoting and spreading the love of God and Jesus Christ, join me at Wealthy Affiliate and I will personally help you to get started on the right path. To get started now for free, just click the below picture and I will see you on the other side. Don’t worry! NO experience or credit card is required to get going!
I agree with you Robert when it comes for His love. Everytime I tend to get angry or upset at a situation or someone, it’s not very long after that, that His love call me back to order. If He could love me with all my flaws and imperfection, why will He not do the same with people that I sometime find not lovable.
But to talk about the subject of finding home Christian based business ideas I think personally that it’s not always easy. But I love your approach, as to focus on anything that has to do with love or the spreading of it.
I had a few ideas personally too recently like cool or funny Christian t-shirts for instance or mugs. But I like your suggestions too.
One Christian affiliate program I had found offering 20% and 25% in commission was at Kerusso.
Do you think it is a good niche?
Thank you Guy for your comment. I feel that in order to enlighten those who may want to know the love of God and Jesus, without alienating those who may feel uncomfortable about religion, is to make a website about one of the core emotions or character traits of love and compassion. Everyone regardless of religion has expressed those emotions and can relate.
By supplying a common emotion or action that many people can relate to, it opens the door to let them know that real Christianity is more of a relationship with God and Jesus that follows a certain loving way to live. Unlike the sometimes restrictive laws of most religions, Christianity is vastly different and is rooted in Love. Again, an emotion and state of mind that all people have experienced.
And when you think about it, the niche of Love is huge, which is one of the resons why the Christian niche is huge. Look at the company Hallmark, they are practically built on the niche of love and compassion. So are many florist shops and many companies that promote family values and unity. All of these and more can and are Christian value company/niches. So this is how I would approach starting a Christian home based business online.
Thank you for your insights.
You could not have said it any better!
Hi Robert, Thanks for this very informative site. I was not aware of these companies that offer affiliate programs. You have some great ideas here and your content is written very well.
Thank you Cas. I am happy you have enjoyed the information on my website. Joining affiliate programs in any niche market is a great and easier way to make money online, even in the Christian niche.
I am a Christian and have two websites with Wealthy Affiliate. However, I never thought of building a business around the Christian niche. This is such a great idea! This would be a very rewarding niche to be a part of. You are right- Christianity is really about LOVE and there are so many different products and services that would fall under this category. For a while, I had a Photography Site called, Love -n-Light Photography. I wasn’t making any money from it, but I didn’t have affiliates on it either. Perhaps I should give it another shot…
Hello Misty! It is very difficult if not impossible to make money with a website if you do not have affiliate ads on it. Definitely give it another shot!
As I am sure you probably know the Christian market is absolutely huge and growing every day. Plus there are a ton of niche markets that promote products of love and compassion, two of the many character traits of Jesus. By offering products that embody these emotions while avoiding all other negatives, can always fall under the Christian niche market. My next website is going to be a Christian website that will promote LOVE and why we should all love one another more if we should want the hate in this world to stop. Love always conquers hate.
EXTREMELY impressive site, Robert. You REALLY had your thinking cap on and have done a ton of work! Very, very impressed, and I am sure this niche will be a real success – you deserve it.
Thank you Pawel for your comment! I have worked long and hard on this website to give my website readers options for them to make money online from the comfort of their home, as well as give them ways to avoid scams online. There are so many niche markets and the Christian home based business market is quite huge, bigger than most people think it is.
Robert, this is a refreshing and welcoming post. I love the Christian niche ideas and I thank you for sharing your passion. I bookmarked the affiliate programs to check them out at a later date. Nice and useful website. Good job and may God continue to bless your efforts.
Thank you Josephine and God bless you as well! I feel that if people were to approach the reading of a Christian website without the preconceived notion that it would be about religion and instead it would be about love and compassion, people would begin to understand that Christianity isn’t really a religion but it is a way of life that embodies the way Jesus lived and loved everyone.
That’s really interesting,,, I would of never thought of creating a site about Christian, but it’s a really great way of getting your message across. Do you think people would expect you to talk about a certain religion??
Most people would probably think that a Christian website might be about religion, but for many Christians like myself, Christianity is not a religion but it is a way of life. It is being a loving, compassionate, humble, generous and helping way of life. How can anyone find fault in any of those great morals? It is in stark contrast to the hateful and immoral values of today. To know and practice love is to know God, but people normally do not make that connection because as soon as they hear the word God they think religion and that is not what God is really about.
Hello Robert, This is a very good article for people to become affiliate marketers and you point out that there are many angles that people can use to help promote Christianity. I especially enjoyed the basic premise – help other succeed. With all the support you speak about, Wealthy Affiliate sounds like a good way to learn. So, I have two questions: How long does it take to learn, and can new members help others like you have here? The reason I ask is because, as you mention, not only are there Christian products to promote, but helping to spread the word about Wealthy Affiliate also helps others live abundant lives, and that interests me. Thank you for sharing this, and I’ll check back!
Thank you for your comment Toni. The learning process is not hard and depending on how much time you put in to learning, you can get a pretty good grasp in about a few weeks if you only put in a couple of hours per day. Naturally if you put in more than a couple of hours per day, you will learn it quicker.
As for helping other, all members whether new or veterans are encouraged to help one another. Like I said in the post above, though the owners of Wealthy Affiliate do not claim to be Christian or any kind of religion, they do embody the same values of Christianity and that is the pay it forward mentality.
Whenever I get into a niche I am always scared of the competitiveness of that niche. This time is no different. But I’m glad to see there really is an affiliate program out there for everyone. And Wealthy Affiliate is a great resource.
Though some niche markets can have a low and almost non-existent affiliate program market, the Christian home based business market does not have a shortage of available programs. I was surprised that they have a very vibrant selection of various choices.
I agree with you. There is absolutely nothing wrong with making money while at the same time maintaining our spirituality pursuit. We can’t give what we don’t have. And when we have in abundance, we could help more people.
That the beauty of making money online. It doesn’t matter what your faith is, if you are fortunate enough to make money online and you make enough to help others, then the money is going to good use. Some people may be blessed to make a lot so that they can turn around and give to those who are in need.
Very well written article. Are you using the two affiliate programs you listed? They look interesting. You gave some great ideas for Christian niches. Do any of these sell Christian aps as it seems a lot of churches are using Bibles on their smart phones these days?
Thank you Larry. There are many other Christian affiliate programs that offer apps for various products including the Bible, but neither of the two that I listed above carry apps. I have seen other Christian affiliate sites that had technical items such as apps, so there are some out there. I was surprized at all of the available affiliates there are, but I was only looking to portray my top two selection.
Hi Robert!
What a refreshing website! Thank you for sharing your passion. I was not aware of such a facility and opportunities available for Christian activity.
“For me and many others, it is not so much a religion as it is a way of life.”
I think that’s an important statement to make because it humanises the religion and makes it so much more appealing and achievable. People tend to be put off by any type of religious content so perhaps this statement might need to be at the forefront of your website instead of right in the middle.
Good luck and keep it up.
Thank you – Colin
You are welcome Colin. Yes, many people are not aware of the vast amount of Christian affiliate programs. I think it has to do with people thinking that a Christian affiliate program would promote anything Bible or Prayer related when in fact it is so much more than that.
I think perhaps you are right. I should add my quote about Christianity being more about a way of life than a religion earlier on in my content, so as not to scare away anyone looking to read my post. Thanks for the suggestion.
I not a Christian but I found your article very well written, I didn’t feel like you were trying to push any religious products onto me. It was very surprising to see there were actually Christian Affiliated marketing programs. Your information regarding Wealthy affiliates was very comprehensive and would have made me join up if I hadn’t already been a member.
Cheers
Tracy
Thank you Tracy for your comment. I realize that many people may see a blog post title with the word Christian in it and think that they are going to be preached to. But Christianity is far more than that and in many cases it isn’t that at all. It really is mostly about love and the compassion for others.
After doing my research I found that there are a lot of Christian affiliate programs and many of the items they sell are pretty much the same as non-Christian stores, with the exception of items that promote hate or anything immoral as being replaced with love and family values. Some businesses like flowers are universal and can fall under both Christian and non Christian niches.
It’s good to see that you have taken the advice of someone and joined Wealthy Affiliate. They are truly the best online business opportunity that I have ever experienced. The owners may or may not be Christian but they operate the community with a lot of the same loving and helpful values. If only the whole world could be like WA.
