$0.00! - How a Complete Newbie Can Make a Start With Zero Dollars From Scratch

I receive quite a lot of emails and PM's from people who want to get started with Internet marketing but say they simply haven't got much and sometimes not even any money to invest.

There are also regular requests for free "review copies" of products because people say they just can't afford the wso, even when it's only $5-7!

So with that in mind I thought it would be useful to put together a quick and easy guide on how to get started with £0.00.

So here we go...

Okay so you will need access to a computer with Internet connection but if you're reading this then you already have that.

You can even find this for free if you need to, try friends, family, ask your employer, school, college, library, etc.

With no money available you really have two main choices to start making your first cash to re-invest and start moving forwards.

• Supply a service if you have some skills
• Article Marketing

Supply a service

If you can write articles, install websites, create graphics, build links, or any of the many other tasks that marketers need then this is probably the best way to get some cash coming in fast.

You just need to make people aware of the services you can offer. You don't need a fancy website to begin with but once you can earn just $5-10 a week you'll have enough to get that set up if you want.

So just get out there onto the forums, free advertising sites, or somewhere such as fiverr.com and earn your first $5-10. Some of the sites such as elance.com charge a small fee so you'll have to earn your first few dollars before you can use those.

Remember to use the Warriors For Hire section here when you can afford to pay for your thread.

So that's method one sorted!


Article Marketing

Now this isn't rocket science but you really do have to know how to make this work to get reasonable results fairly quickly.

What usually happens here is that people think they'll just need to write a couple of articles, add affiliate links, then submit them to article directories and BINGO! - the cash rolls in.

Or maybe not?

The first thing you should know is that you can't always link directly to affiliate offers so you might have to send them to a free website you'll need to create first.

In fact you don't have to use article directories you can just use sites such as Squidoo, Hubpages, or one of the many others where you can create web pages. Some will let you link directly but you need to check their terms.

It's important to realise that there are two main ways to effectively try article marketing, and they are to submit A LOT of articles to the right places, or to learn how to correctly target good keywords, and really you need to do both to make this work well.

Remember there's also the Warrior forum articles section for IM and Offline marketing articles when you can afford the subscription.

What's next?

Get over the "easy ride" and "no work" hurdles and put some real effort in and it's not that hard to earn your first income Online.

You'll learn quite a lot from just getting going like this and you only need about $10-20 to get your first website started and that's probably what you really want to do.

You can keep earning some cash each week with either of these methods and even build that up further while you work on the other aspects of creating a decent income from your other Online activities.

All you need to do now is go and get stuck in...

I'm sure there are some other good suggestions for how to get over the $0.00 problem so feel free to chime in especially if you've overcome this.
