How To Start An Online Business With Very Little Money


*There are some affiliate links residing in this post!  No big thing - but if you make a purchase after surfing on through one of my links, I receive a tiny commission.


This is where the daydreaming turns into true planning – and it’s fun and it's daunting all at once.  You get to pick and choose what work you do online – and there are so many options for you to select from.

First of all, if what you truly need is money fast, try your hand at becoming a service provider.  This can mean simply putting your skills to work for you - like writing as a freelance ghostwriter, designing graphics for others, or maybe even doing a bit of grunt work as a virtual assistant.

The next step here would be to create your own product to sell.  This could be an eBook that you write, creating and selling crafts, or even sites that you create and sell on a site like Flippa.

My final piece of advice in this process would be to take up affiliate marketing.  This is where you promote other people’s products for a share in the earnings.  Affiliate commissions can be made on tangible items (like anything from Amazon) or digital downloads (like those you find on ClickBank).

What If I Don’t Have Any Money to Start My Own Business?

Not having any money to start a business is one of the main stumbling blocks that keep people rooted in fear, afraid to take any steps forward and make changes in their lives. The familiar seems safe - unlike stepping out into the unknown, but it’s the unknown that can offer the greatest rewards.  Embrace your sense of adventure!  You can still have a successful home business even if you don’t believe you have the funds to get started.

Try not to make the mistake of falling into the mindset that you have to spend money to make money - because frankly, it’s just not true.  

Seek out free online offers that pertain to the business you want to start.  There are so many free tools available online now that not having money to start up a business is a poor excuse for not taking a bold move forward.

You can get free business cards, free images or sound bites, free site templates and more by looking around online.  There simply is no limit to what you can find or the kind of business you can start, all without spending a penny upfront to get started.

You can be a virtual assistant, a web designer, a blog writer, an online bookkeeper, a ghostwriter - anything you can dream of.  And you can bring it into existence just by learning about what it is you’d like to do.  It’s all free and right at your fingertips as long as you’re willing to put in the time it takes to research your idea.  Find your passion, that which sets you on creative fire, and follow that path.

Not only can you start a home business without any money up front, but the key to making it work is also free - and that key is your passion.  If you start a business doing what you’re passionate about, then your interest and hunger for what you’re doing will be the driving force that helps grow you business.  Plus, if you combine your passion with knowledge, you’ll be able to go from zero to making enough money to support yourself pretty fast.

By now, plenty of ideas should be churning within you and you’re ready to take the plunge from punching a clock to being your own boss working from home.  As you sift through what it’s going to take to get started now, you might start to wonder about other aspects of having a home business, like how to create and organize your home office.

If you’re not a neat and structured person with your important paperwork or if your favorite mantra is, “I’ll do it tomorrow,” then you may find yourself struggling to stay on top of keeping things organized.  Read on to find out more about how to set up your personal home office.
