Start a Business With No Money – A How to Guide

-Be a Doer, Not a Talker-

How many times has someone told you that they had “A Million Dollar Idea” if only they had the money to get started?

I personally know of at least 20 “Idea Millionaires” that I’ve met in the last 5 years! As my father used to say about those

“A Million Dollar Ideas”, “with that and 50 cents How To Start Your Own Business With No Money A good business ideayou can get a cup of coffee”. These days the coffee would be $5.00, but the

Idea is the same. Just having a good Idea is not enough, you must be willing to take action, otherwise you are just another

“Idea Millionaire”. Let’s be clear, when I say you can start a business with no money, I DON’T mean “with no effort“,

in fact, the less money you have, the more effort or “sweat equity” you’ll need. In this post I will share  some ideas on how

you can start your own business with no money, but I will also share some ways that you can raise money

for your business start-up.

 

Start a Business With No Money – A How to Guide

-What You Need To Be Successful-

 A Good Idea– It doesn’t have to be a new idea that no one has ever thought of before, it doesn’t have to be revolutionary, but it has to be something

that has or adds value to a persons’ life.

 

 Passion– It’s going to take a lot of time and effort to build your own business. You will be (at least initially) working long hours for little (or more probably)

no pay. If you don’t have that passion to keep you going through the lean times, you will eventually quit.

 

A Self Starter– There are a lot of perks to being your own boss, setting your own schedule is one of them. If you’re not prepared to get up and do something

to grow your business every day then what you have is a hobby. Treat your business like a hobby and it will pay you like a hobby, treat it like a business and

it will pay you like a business. Have I made myself Start a Business With No Moneyclear? You must be willing to set aside regular times in your day, week

or month to work exclusively on your business.

 

Expertise – Knowledge is power, knowledge is an asset, knowledge is marketable! Again, it doesn’t have to be a secret

ingredient that you invented. I used to have a business doing custom spray tans for people in the south-west (I know, it

was a tough job spay tanning all of those naked women, but someone had to do it :-). After going to school to learn how,

and years of building a business, I ended up doing body builders, celebrities, reality shows would send me their talent.

I even had wealthy clients that would fly in from other parts of the country just so I could spray tan them. Did all these

people come to me because there was no one in their area that could give them a spray tan? NO, but I was an expert at

custom airbrush tanning and they were willing to pay for that expertise. I still have a small clientele that I spray on the side.

 

Tenacity– You are going to get knocked down, turned away, told no, make bad decisions, have plans fall through, and just generally have to do things that you

don’t want to do. You’ve got to be able to push through Start a Business With No Moneythose obstacles in order to be successful there is just no way

around it. In starting a small energy brokerage business, I needed to cold call. No one likes to cold call, but I spent

a year making cold calls 8 hours a day 5 days a week. I was yelled at, cursed at, and called names that I didn’t even

know what they meant. It was not a pleasant experience, but, at the end of that year, I had developed a relationship

with nearly 100 companies that became customers. Expect the negative and be grateful for the positives.

 

Have I talked you out of starting your own business yet? I hope not! It is truly one of the most rewarding things you can do.

I’m telling you these things so that there will be no surprises. Going in knowing what to expect and being prepared for it will

give you the best chance for success.

-Should You Go On-line, or Brick and Mortar?-

That really depends on what you want to do. Certain service industries require that you have a brick and mortar store. Hair salons, nail salons, tanning salons etc.

However, most products can be sold directly on-line. Let’s face it, websites like Amazon, EBay and PayPal are really squeezing out the mom-and-pop retail

stores. In my blogs, I focus almost exclusively on internet businesses. In addition to the huge growth in shopping on-line, the costs of starting and maintaining

an on-line business is a fraction of what it is to open a store front.

 

With a traditional brick and mortar store you can have start-up costs that run into the $1,000’s to hundreds of thousands.  Start a Business With No Money

You will need to lease space which requires a deposit as well as money to build it out (walls, rooms, flooring etc.).

Then you’ll need utilities, electricity, gas, water, telephone, security system, all of which require a deposit. Next you’ll have

to buy the inventory that you will be selling, stock the shelves. Finally, you’ll need to hire and train employees. I can

guarantee you that getting and maintaining good employees is going to be the most challenging part of owning a business.

 

Starting an on-line business reduces your costs significantly. First of all you can do it out of your own home on your own computer. No additional rent, utilities or

employees. You also avoid carrying inventory and shipping out products. Your sole responsibility is to create a website that provides valuable information, reviews

and recommendations  for products and services in your niche. When a person comes to your site to get information, you will provide them a link to your

recommended product. Once they click the link they are taken to the sellers’ website and buy the product. Because you

provided the company with a new customer, the E-Commerce, Start a Business With No Moneycompany pays you a commission on the sale. And not just on that one

item. Say they clicked on your link for a set of golf clubs, is that all they are going to buy? I think that they may need a

new golf bag to go with the new clubs, maybe some head covers, golf gloves, golf balls, and you get a commission on

all  of it, not just the clubs! You have just generated income sitting at home providing an honest evaluation of a

product.

-So, What Do You Want To Sell?-

How to start a online business with no money

Hobbies are a great way to start a blog.

Deciding on a type of business is not always easy. I recommend that you pick something that you have an interest in.

What do you do for a living? If  you work at a hobby store, you can start a blog rating, reviewing and selling various

hobby items. Work in a boutique, start a fashion blog selling clothes online, a foodie, blogging about food and wine.

You get the  idea. Hobbies are also a great way to start a business.  Do you like to garden, your blog can  recommend

the best type of plants, flowers and vegetables to grow. When to plant them, the type of soil  to use, how to care for

them etc. All the while  getting paid a commission for selling the tools, fertilizers and even plants and seeds needed

for the beginning Gardner. How about golf or tennis? Before people buy an expensive set of clubs or a racket, they do

research on the web.  Why not have them come to your website to compare brands and get recommendations, oh, and if they click a link on your website to buy,

you get a commission.

 

What if you’re still not sure what you want to blog about and sell, but you are still interested in starting your own business? Not to worry, there

are websites that will provide you with the products to sell. Two of the most popular sites are  CJ (Formally Commission Junction), and

Click Bank although there are certainly more, in my opinion, these are two of the  best. If your brand new to internet marketing, or web based

businesses, then I highly recommend a site called Wealthy Affiliate.  It is not only free to join, but they will walk you step by step through the

process of building a money making website, product included.

-How to Eat A Elephant-

How To Start Your Own Business With No Money elephant

There are all kinds of emotions, thoughts and feeling when starting a new business. Excitement, fear, hope and dread can be all wrapped up in a

new venture. Most of all, the person starting a new business can feel overwhelmed. Where to start, how to do it, in what order do I do things? It’s

like eating an elephant, it seems impossible, but you can eat that elephant one bite at a time if you stick with it. Focus on completing little tasks,

not the whole thing. Take direction and get help from people who have been in your shoes. Learn from other’s mistakes so you don’t have to make

them. Use free resources like Wealthy Affiliate. Start small but think big. Always remember, the surest  way to fail is to quit.

    I’ve been an Affiliate Marketer for 10 years now. There is no better way to make money as far as I’m concerned. Where else can you start a business for the price of a domain name. I think .com’s at Namecheap are $10.60 or something like that. Anyways, what a bargain a for business. Great article and tips to get an online business going. I saved your site to my favorites.

    I can totally relate to the “idea millionaire” syndrome. I have a mate who is exactly like that. He does come up with some really good ideas, but never did anything with any of them.

    What you propose in your article here certainly does make logical sense and sound very doable. Love the Disney quote at the end too, by the way.

    How’s your own online business going? It sounds like you have a few on the go.

      Darren,

      Thanks for the feedback, I really enjoy having an online business. I got tired of dealing with employees and government regulations all the time. It’s allowed me to work at home at my own pace and getting feedback from my writing is very rewarding. 

      Thank you again
