There are actually quite a few options for individuals who want
to run their own business with little or no startup fees.
Here is Home Businesses You Can Start with No Money.
Blogging
Obviously,
I’m a huge advocate for starting your own monetized blog; however it does
become a bit tricky when you’re trying do it for free. First you have two
options for getting started – you can either use the free WordPress platform or
the free version of Blogger. Both have similar features in terms of
functionality and design and both can be monetized, but only thorough their
respective ad networks. What this means is that you’re able to monetize your
blog, but only by using WordPress’
word ads and Blogger’s Adsense ads. So you won’t be able to sell your own
direct ads, participate in affiliate marketing, or produce sponsored content.
While
this does limit your earning potential, it’s does give you the initial
foundation for building an audience. Once you have a little bit of money
rolling in, you can easily transfer your blog over to the paid versions of
WordPress and Blogger where you will be able to fully monetize your blog and start
making some real money.
Digital Earning
If
the Internet were around when I was younger, I would have spent so much time on
this next way to make money. Digital earning revolves around completing
Internet offers, sharing products and services on the various social media
platforms, watching videos, completing surveys, and clipping and using coupons.
While you’re probably not going to get rich completing digital offers, it is a
great way to get some cash coming in and/or to supplement your blogging
efforts. While I could write a post just on digital earning methods, here are
just a few to check out.
CashCrate is an online platform where you can start
earning money by completing offers, taking surveys, watching videos, and
shopping online using their site. Tasks pay out anywhere from a few cents to
$30.00 or more, and you’ll receive a $1 for signing up for an account. Payments
are made via check or PayPal.
Fusion Cash is an online platform that allows you to make money
from taking surveys, watching videos, shopping, completing short tasks, and
much more. Sign up and immediately earn $5.00 just for joining. Most offers pay
between .25 to $30 per offer, and payments are made via PayPal, check, or
direct deposit once your account reaches a $25 threshold. Some offers do
require a credit card number, so if you don’t feel comfortable giving out that
information, just stick to the offers which display the No CC icon. Fusion Cash
is a member of the Better Business Bureau.
InboxDollars
allows you
can earn cash for surveys, reading emails, playing games, redeeming coupons,
searching the web and shopping online. Membership is free and you’ll receive
$5.00 for signing up. Payments are made via check.
Swagbucks is an online platform where you can earn points called
SB, which can be redeemed for gift cards and coupons. You can easily earn SB
points by watching videos, playing games, answering questions, shopping online,
and even surfing the web using their toolbar. Refer your friends and you’ll
earn even more SB points. Your SB points can be traded in for gift cards from
Amazon, Target, Starbucks, PayPal, and Walmart.
Freelance Writing
You don’t need to be an
English major to be a freelance writer, in fact this is a great way to make a
living if you enjoy writing – and the more you write, the better you get.
These sites are basically
job boards for freelancers and businesses, it is a place to connect, shop
around, and most importantly get some money into your pocket. While many of
these sites offer small payouts, they are a great place to gain experience and
build your portfolio.
Elance
ODesk
After you’ve been freelancing
for a few months, you should have some good samples, testimonials, and
experience that will give you the leverage to start going after bigger and
better paying freelance opportunities.
Remember, whatever business you decide to start you must have
a passion for what you are doing. Without enthusiasm and excitement, you’ll
become bored and unmotivated and ultimately it will fail. Don’t just follow the
money, remember to follow your heart.
