Start a Business With No Money!

If you want to strike it rich by starting a home business office, while working in your pajamas, this blog is not for you.

My intent in writing this blog is to show you how to start a business with zero to one thousand in start-up costs and then to inspire you with the wide variety of businesses you can start at such a small expense.

Starting a Business With No Money!

How can you possibly start a business with zero dollars? Easy! First, look at your existing resources. Do you have a computer? Check. Internet connection. Check check. Marketable skill? Ding ding ding, can you just hear the cha ching?

Many, no, millions of small business owners waste tens of thousands of dollars on mistakes that could have been avoided if they had more experience. It's baffling that people who have never run a business before are given tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars based on a business plan. When you start big, you lose big. If you start small, you risk small. By starting a business from the bare bones, you are also educating yourself along the way about how things are done. How are other people making money? What are the mistakes to avoid? As your business grows, reinvest your profits and your new found wisdom into the company and watch it grow!

It Can be Done! I Did it!

I know it can be done, because I’ve done it. I was a freelance writer since high school, and later started an editorial and research company. In the early 1990s I was obsessed with the Internet and wanted to learn everything I could about research resources, how to develop a web site, how to start on online company, etc. I ended up starting a successful company that I would run for six years and then sell. Because I knew how to develop a bare bones website, and knew how to perform research online, I invested zero dollars in the starting the business.


“The entrepreneur is our visionary, the creator in each of us. We're born with that quality and it defines our lives as we respond to what we see, hear, feel, and experience. It is developed, nurtured, and given space to flourish or is squelched, thwarted, without air or stimulation, and dies.” Michael Gerber
