    Chris,

    There is a thread all about the topic that has many ideas and methods . . .

    What to Do if You're Desperate

    It's a good place to start because many ideas are targeted to people with little or no capital to get going.

    I set up my entire business with about $60.

    I don't know whether it will work for you, though: like any other way of earning money online, it all depends on your own skills, doesn't it?

    No criticism implied, but asking other people what their favorite method is of generating cashflow from $100 investment is going to be of pretty limited relevance to you, if you don't happen to share their skills?

    The monetary entry-barriers to successful, income-producing internet marketing are so low that they're barely worth talking about. The skill-based barriers, of course, are a whole different story (but of course that's also a big part of the reason why so few people become successful, isn't it? People quite often try to do it without having any real skill-set, imagining that they can "just copy something that works" and that somehow, magically, "it will all be ok for them", which obviously enough it almost never is! ).

    Sorry if my observations aren't helpful ... Chris, you've been here as long as I have (though probably not as often!): you surely know this already? Though you can't really start from "zero", it's not about money: it's about education and skills. $100 is enough money!

    I agree with Steve. That should be your number one source for finding out how to make money online in a short amount of time. If you can't be bothered reading all the different ways, I have some short ideas you can do to make some money.

    Make money on Fiverr: Sell article services, logo designs, video testimonials etc.

    YouTube + content locker: Put simply, offer a free product i.e. eBook, graphics, wallpaper, cheat codes etc and make a video about it on YouTube. Protect the file with a content locker and place the link in the description. Now add backlinks to the video and try and rank it at the top of YouTube and even Google. You should make at least $1 per person that unlocks the content.

    Offer social media products to businesses: Find businesses with low amount of user engagement such as likes, shares etc and offer to increase the likes to their page for a set amount, Go over to social media services and find them for a cheap price which you can resell at a higher price.

    There's tonnes of ideas out there. Just go and read the link Steve sent and you'll find many ways you can raise money.

    $100 is actually a magic figure. You can do most high-level systems with it.

    - Domain Flipping
    - Affiliate Marketing
    - Content Creation
    - And on and on it goes.

    What would I do? Well, I have limited time this month, so I'd flip a few domains.

    I started off building niche sites for myself. The only investments were $1 for a domain and a host which cost $10 a month. So $120 for my first year.

    I created a niche site for an easy to rank keyword and I managed to receive 5000 average monthly visitors to my site. That equated to over $60 a week for the site. After about 2 years of owning the site and making $800 a month, I sold the site for $10,000.

    That money was then used to fuel my future internet marketing projects which now led to me earning six figures and owning 2 web agencies in the UK.

    There are many ways to generate cash quickly if you're in a bind. They may not necessarily be a long-term business you want to build, but if what you're after is quick cash to tide you over in an emergency, they will definitely work. You may not find them terribly appealing, but you can get into them for well under $100 and generate quick cashflow, typically in under a week's time.

    1) Completing freebie offers in exchange for quick money. I used this several years ago to generate cashflow very quickly when I needed it during a cash crunch. You basically gain credit by going "green" and qualifying, after which you'll get paid via Paypal for every referral that you get. The really great thing about this method is that you typically get paid in well under 24 hours straight to your Paypal account, and once it hits Paypal it becomes spendable money that you can access immediately via your Paypal debit card.

    2) Flipping domains. I have been able to purchase desirable new domains and hand register them at regular price ($10 or much less if you have a Godaddy coupon), and flip them for $200 and up very quickly.

    3) Product creation. I know many people's eyes are going to glaze over when they read this, but it has been proven time and time again that you can generate quick profits if you create a simple product and put it out in the marketplace as soon as possible.

      Huh? Somehow I doubt a "Search Engine Optimization expert" would be bragging about making a whopping $100/month from anywhere.

      Just sayin....

      Edit: Of course now I get it. You're just slamming in posts to "advertise" for your clients. What is it again....$5 for 20 posts?

    Depends on what skills you've got. Here are a few options

    1) Run PPC traffic to an affiliate product (or to CPA offer, if you want even quicker revenue)

    2) Start a blog in a profitable niche with the $100 you've got & do some forum marketing to collect leads who you'll build a relationship with and market to in your AR.

    3) Post a WSO if there's any service you have to offer that will really benefit the community - you don't have to be some overachiever guru to do this. If people need it or want it, they will buy a $7 WSO - they're not gonna die from it.

    4) If you are confident of a particular product, buy a good funnel-click solo to that product for $100. Statistically, I think this may be a bit risky with anything under 500 clicks (which is what you'll be getting from a $100 solo), but it's worth a shot if the product's sales page converts well.

    5) Meditate. Think. There's always a way to turn $100 into $1k - you're creative enough to discover it. Just relax into your deepest consciousness & this way to leverage your $100 capital will undress itself before you.

    Once you learn how to turn $100 into $1K, just repeat using the same process to turn that $1K to $10K by simply scaling up the process you discovered using $100.

    That's pretty much all there is to IM. Find a good process for consistent profit, optimize & scale up.

    Main Costs:
    Domain
    Hosting
    Optin Page/WP Theme
    Auto Responder (GetResponse or Aweber)
    Traffic (paid) & Tracking
    Bribe (*if you decide to outsource this)

    Hope this helps.

    Well a domain + real hosting hosts significantly less than that.

    After getting those 2, WRITE. Seriously, internal links and posting every day isn't a bad start. Blogroll and other low hanging link fruit are easy enough to find.

    Find an interesting affiliate niche and go from there-

    Here's the rule of a business.

    A business that is "easily" build can fall "easily" anytime.

    And when I am saying easy, I am talking about the capital requirement.

    Because if you have capital, you can overcome most other production factors.

    And that's why it's so tricky to build a $100 business.

    Because anybody can start it tomorrow and give you a solid competition. It's like writing for $1 per 500 words. Anybody can lower it to $0.50 per 500 words.

    My suggestion to you, know your passion first.

    When you know what you are looking after, strategize a business model that can't be replicated easily.

    It's a step by step process.

    And last but not least, yes, you are shelling out just $100 to build your business, you don't want to slog 24 by 7 on that.

    You have a life.

    So, take your decisions after careful planning.

    You can earn money from online activities even without investing in it first. Fiverr has been mentioned, but there are also a lot of other freelance websites you can use to make money. And you don't have to invest anything, you just advertise your services..

    My favorite method I would say is on Quirky.
    It's really simple to earn some extra cash every day and it's actually a pretty cool company. What makes it so easy to me is that I actually love a lot off their products which makes it an easier sell for me.
    I can simply share shit on my Facebook or Twitter or IG and it's almost a guarantee at least one person will purchase. All of your social media followers should already trust you, that's why they follow you. If you have their trust you have their attention!

    YouTube video marketing, selling affiliate products while building a list.


    All you need is a domain ($1-$5) Hosting ($10 a month) and autoresponder (Getresponse free for 30 days and then $15 a month).


    You could send backlinks to your videos for $5 or you could do it manually for free.
