How to Start Your Internet Business With Zero Capital

By Robert Paul Johnson

With all the social forums out there today I often meet new marketers that really want to break into the internet marketing business but don't have any start up capital. They all want to work from home making the big bucks that the pros do but don't know where to start. This article will give the beginners some useful start up tips that will get your business up and running with zero capital.

What are you good at?

Write out a list of your best skills. Your best skills can be anything. Try taking your skills from your daily routine (for example how to feed a family of five for under $10) or through your job (hands on knowledge of a specific task that you perform at work) or a hobby (bowling, making jewelry, guitar, gardening) any one of these will qualify as skills to be written on your list. Now narrow your list down to a more specific niche that you really feel there is a demand for and one you can help people with. Let's say you play guitar on a regular basis. You can build an internet business around this: write an instructional guide, how to buy a guitar that's right for you, how to practice scales and modes, you can give advice on real life experiences they don't write about in text books, etc. The best part is that you've found your niche, you already know about what you're doing, and you didn't have to spend any money to acquire this knowledge.

Now the second step, if you have no money to start your online business, is to earn some capital buy using the skills you listed.

It is almost impossible to start any business without spending some money. For an online business you will at least need to get a domain name and web hosting. With a little research you can accomplish this for less than $100.

Most social networking is free and can be used to meet people that are willing to barter with you in exchange for the things you need.

For example, look for a website designer that wants to learn to play guitar. There are people all over the internet searching for information that you already have. Just ask them to share. Soon, you just might find what you know is more valuable than you realized.
