"How do I make money with no money to start?"

There are many ways to make money from home. You can join a direct selling company (think Avon, Tupperware, etc.). You can turn a hobby into a business. There are lots of things you can do.

But what if you really don't have any money to invest to start a business? Most direct sales companies require some type of investment in a kit (from a few bucks to well over $300, depending on the company). Plus there are sales aids to buy and gas to burn when doing a home party.

That is not to say that DS companies are bad, by any means! They can be a great way to make money. But what if you just don't have any money to start with??

Here is my No Money To Start With Game Plan (Fancy name, huh?):
  • Start with Cash Crate (click here for info) and sign up for free. There is no cost to sign up and you get paid monthly. You can easily earn $2-$3 a day, which adds up to $60-$90 a month. If you really wanted to make more, you can, but $2-$3 a day is very easily achieved. At the very least, you can make enough for a tank or two of gas.
  • Start a blog about something you love and monetize the blog. Blogger has free blogs to start and you can put Adsense ads on your blog painlessly. This might take longer to make money than with Cash Crate, but it is still a start.

Once you start getting checks from the above, then you have other options. You can invest what you earn back into your blog, or you can use the money to start a different home business.

With your blog, you can also offer products of your own for sale. Have a secret chili recipe? Got a "green" way to kill ants? Know a great way to teach math to a 9th grader? Any unique idea can potentially make money for you.

Got specific questions or comments? Let me know! Feel free to post a link to your website in your comment!

I love it!!

FINALLY someone who actually helps someone with NO money make that first little bit... That we KNOW turns into the next little bit.

With these types of ideas there really are NO excuses.

I think that the problem for a lot of people though is that they are not in a position to start off making just a little bit, so they keep spinning their wheels and end up making NADA!

Does that make sense?

Faithful in the little, and the increase will come!

Thanks!
