Taking a loan to work in online?

Hey guys,

I know many of you might be sceptical about that, but I'd like to hear your honest opinion and experiences anyway.
At the moment I'm reading tons of infos about online marketing and how to get started and I know that I need some cash to actually get started (don't wanna use free methods, I want fast results).

Problem: I don't really have that cash to get started. Saving money for it is difficult because my job isn't really paying well (it's just enough to pay the bills) and I don't have family or so to sponsor me.

So this is why I'm considering to take a loan of maybe 1.000-2.000 dollar to invest that in my campaigns to learn and hopefully break even soon. I'm willing to learn and to work hard, I just don't have the cash to test and everything.

By the way- I don't have any loans, neither for my education (I got a Master's degree) or anything else, which is a good thing.

What do you guys think? Is it too risky in your opinion to take a loan for that? Or did you maybe even took a loan yourselves?

Thanks a lot!!

    Start with free methods, there are tons of them out there. Just do a search.

    Then once you get things rocking, move into paid traffic. That is how I did it.

    Saphiry,

    I totally agree with Greedy. There are too many ways to get started without taking out a loan. Save your good credit and use it in the future to purchase a house or something like that. Have you read, "The Laptop Millionaire" by Mark Anastasi? That is a fantastic book and will give you great ideas.

    Yeah, I completely agree, taking a loan when you've never actually done any online marketing is a huge mistake. Honestly, I wouldn't even take a loan right now, with my current marketing knowledge and resources, because it's shitty to owe money and you never know what'll happen. Just stick to free and low cost methods to begin with. Even when it comes to your research, only focus on those methods, become an expert with them, and start earning. Use those earnings to move onto bigger, better methods. Anyone can do it.

    don't even think of taking a loan for doing experiments when you use free methods you will know the reality that it is not that easy how it looks.

    Things could get worst if you could not make the money back you invested.
