Making money with no money.

I feel a little sorry for people who equate time to money.

They just don't get it.

So you are right, no money is needed but a little does help.

The hardest part for most is getting started. We can give ourselves a hundered reasons not to start, including that we don't have any money.

So true, I started with $0 and began earning money by offering services and sharing information that I know of to people that wanted it. It is possible to make money from nothing, just gotta setup a plan and just do it, and also stay with it.

I agree, just stick to helping as many people as possible and the money will come

Time is money. No money with no time.. Every business will need some kind of an invest.

I was able to "make money with no money"... but I do have the skills. I started out with writing articles for other website owners while saving up and learning the ropes of internet marketing.

Well said Justin. I've been making money with no money for years.

I 100% agree with you, there are opportunity to make money with no money.. failures always think too much work, "when I will make money", "how long it will take", "too many time involved" and quite...

Give up is so easy in life.. but if little bit effort given everyday than impossible thing can become possible.. why people give up...very nice thread..

Nice statement. I especially liked your second tip.

I started making money online without spending a dime of my own money. It was nice to get paid without having to dish out any money. Once I did make a little money, I started to reinvest a little back into the method I was using and other methods to make more.

A relevant and amazing article that shows how to generate wealth with time alone--> How to Make Wealth

I believe time and money are deeply related. Money makes things happen faster (if deployed correctly)... and in many cases, like you buying a plane ticket, it's really easy to know how to deploy it. In the case of being a business newbie, often it's difficult to know what to spend it on. The good news is that if time and money really are a system, then you can make up for not having money by over-compensating with time. And that is the truth. If you work 12 hours a day on your business for a few years, you might find yourself with a couple bucks.

Anyone can pm me asking for the method! i started IM with no money, Yes ofcourse it is possible you just need time/skill/patience/ the most important part is DO IT NOW!

to make fast use MANUAL to make it slow use EXPERIENCE.

I think that your conversation is right in part.

I'm agree with you that do not need money to make money, but we must also say that if you have money to invest in their training is right to do so.

I started with no money but i once i started earning i have invested in learning and this was useful.

I agree. Money is simply a "reward" for value exchanged. The more value we provide to a specific niche or target market, the more compensation we receive in return... So it really all boils down to helping others... The more people you help, the greater the compensation. As Zig Ziglar says, "If you help enough people get what they want, they in return, will help you get what you want." CK

You can. I started with promoting clickbank products via article marketing and free blogger blogs. No money spent, only time

i dont agree with you.. time is money thats not wrong.. in every business you have to invest something and here you less need to invest money but time .. this is for sure. as much time you invest in this business you will get the reward in bulk soon then.. so start investing

Good luck

Thanks for sharing!!

Money is needed to make money, it's a universal rule that one need money to make money
But it doesn't mean you can't earn money with out no money.
And
especially in Internet Marketing, one can really start without any investment.
When I started IM, I had money BUT apart from Domain registration and few extra bucks for backlinks, I didn't invest more until I started making serious money.

You need money to make money.

You can start with no money but after you start making even a small amount of money from your skills then you will reinvest the money you made to make more money.

Making money is easy, but have to forward with a right step !!!

Yes... you don't need money to make money.

Just see broker jobs: property brokers, used car brokers, mining good brokers. They make money without money.

Every middleman/ intermediary job makes money without money

But... if you are in investing business, sure you need money to make money.

Justin,

I want to thank you for your insight! I have been blogging for the last 6 years or so while serving in the military... which left me VERY little time to provide any reasonable amount of content. Then after being deployed, and not having access to the internet for over a year... I lost it all.

Needless, to say, I just got out of the Army a few weeks ago and I'm trying to get back into it. I have created another WordPress site, added some affiliate links, utilized a squeeze page, and setup a mailing list on MailChimp to get me started.

I did all of this this afternoon, after work...

After all of that... I then found this forum while looking for ways to promote it. (btw, your post was the first one I read) So I decided to signup and see what all these folks are saying...

But I have to be honest and say that your advice seems to be a little open ended...

While these are certainly a great place to start, they alone, aren't going to generate any income. A person would need to set in place some form of monetization AND more importantly get people to the site. While writing a ton of "quality" content can build your search traffic, it is extremely slow, and most people would give up before it ever paid off.

That said, I still agree with the fact that you CAN make money with little or no money. But it takes a lot more effort and patience than your post insinuates.

Eventually, you do reach a point where time=money.

It's just that, for folks not making any money yet...
Time does not equal money. It simply equals wasted
money, because they do not have a money-making
system in place.

You need a system that draws in a hungry crowd to
a sold solution. Something that draws in money - and
from there on, time = money.

It's just "How Much" money from there on.

Yes you can, Time is money and Knowledge is money. Goodluck!

Money really isn't the end-all and be-all of everything. Don't get me wrong money is important for various reasons. It's a storage of value. We use it as a go inbetween when we can't trade the item that we currently possess directly for what we want. If we were able to do that, we would be bartering.

What really distresses me about the current economic situation is that more and more people are starting to think in terms of money rather than in terms of value. The value that comes out of your head that ends up in a particularly insightful e-book is just as valuable as the money that's in your pocket. Like I said earlier money is simply a store of value.

If we as a whole could change our mindset from the "money is the most important thing" perspective that the mass media and in general the world is trying to perpetuate towards us, we could start seeing greater opportunities then the ones that are solely in front of our faces.

So when I see questions like "how can I create something from nothing?", I'm inclined to say you can't. There is no such thing as nothing and no one here live solely in a vacuum. We all have intrinsic value just by existing and posses a unique perspective as well as unique experience that allows us to create value from ourselves..

So I think a better question to ask would be, how can I create value from mysel6f?

See look at me, I'm over here ranting lol

Making money with no money is possible
but it requires a whole lots of time and
serious massive action everyday.

There is nothing wrong with spending
money on advertising. It helps to scale
up your online business faster then trying
to make money the 'free' way.

It ultimately comes down to your budget
& how well your sales funnel convert.

It it converts very well, you should really just
focus on scaling up your business fast with
more buyers.

I feel a WSO coming on - the 30 day action plan blueprint showing you how to make money from no money.......

I do believe on it,that is "making money with no money".To make it possible three things essential intelligence,confidence,dedication for job.You must stick with your job till success.On the way of success there is little or big part where time plays an important role,that's why people call it(time) money.

To be a successful business man ,at the beginning you must pay time for this and a perfect labor.After getting success you can less it or increase it to go high position.

So little time management is essential for every job.

I am starting with zero money now, and from what I read on this forum, I can start working on IM with no investment. I can create a blog for free, promote it for free and became an affiliate for free. It can be done if you work smart and put effort.

Nice read on 37Signals too.

Yeah I think its possible to make money with no money, but it involves a lot of work and hours, thats the thing with inernetmarketing there's always a'cost' either time or money.

I'm still trying to make money from IM...............Nothing yet though! Next step......

Making money online with NO money IS possible, but if you don't want to sit in front of your computer 24/7, then sooner or later you'll have to spend some.

Outsourcing is inevitable when your business takes off, so if you are making money and don't want to re-invest, then you don't own the business, but it owns YOU, since you have to sit there and baby-sit everything.

Hi! I also agree that you can earn money without using money too..
But most of the time when starting business, money will still be needed..

Very encouraging post for those who want to earn but not enough to invest. This is how, you like to see the world. Everything is here actually and you need to pick that up with your effort and smartness.

It's not impossible, but it's not really practical either.

Sure you can post blogs and provide information and run manual linking campains, but that could take weeks/months to start generating any income.

Instead, you can fast track your success, pay a few bucks and get results faster. It all depends on you.

So, sure it's possible to make money without investing any money.... but I have never met a successful Internet Marketer who doesn't invest in their own product.

Those who know what they are doing, will also know the best way to get a return on their investment.

the analogy that "time is money" comes from the very true fact that if you are going to make money, the vast majority of people will either need to invest time or money.

a few win the lottery or find a bag of money, but the rest of us invest time and or money to make money.

there are many ways to leverage your time and money so that the affects of YOUR personal time and money invested are amplified, but if you want to make money, you are going to make some investment

You can either invest time, money, or your expertise that you have gained from investing time and money in other projects.

and for those that don't think time equals money, i have a job for you that takes time but i don't have any money to pay... you interested in doing the job for me? I bet now you think your time is worth money.

That is how i started: Made money with Yahoo Answers and Squidoo which allowed me to invest in websites and other tools to make more money! But i started with ZERO.

made one yahoo asnwers account and one squidoo and started to answer questions directing people to squidoo. Form there they had a review of a CB service. Thanks god for YA!

I agreed with your statement.

You don't have to buy traffic to your site

all you need is

1. Rich content (informative)
2. Be honest to your audience and write your own stories so that people feel close to you.
3. Expose your website to as many platforms as you can (such as article, social media and etc)

that's how it works

and of course there is no harm to buy traffic. In fact, it boost up the traffic to your site.

Hey Justin,

Great post man.

I started at 0 with absolutely no money.

The only thing that made a difference was taking action.

Right on man!

~S

with little or more time, you can get money
but no matter how much money you have, You can never buy Time...

It's very true.
Taking action is always the first step. However for some people it's very difficult to do.
Fear of failure will often prohibit someone from taking even the first steps towards making money online, especially if financial risk is involved.

However, with IM especially, assuming your not fronting hundreds of dollars to drive traffic, it can be very low risk with high rewards.

Step back and say,

If I fail, what is the worst that can happen ?

Hint ~ Learning.

I am one real proof that it is way possible to make money without having to spend a single dime for it. I did it through offering services of all sorts and here I am 5 years after still giving good service for every client I have.

No regrets at all! Although, I am contemplating to be in IM at least I can earn passive income.

Hello evereyone, this topic inspired me because i fell confused when do i start without money.
so guys any suggestions to help me to start with an easy way to earn some money in order to pay a school cuz I don't have any job , and all my mind is focusing on getting money by easy way to start.
Im looking for help and it will be appreciated

Yes I agree that a little money does help - 37Signals got $10million investment from Amazon Founder Bezos in 2006 so that helped them a little ;-)

It can be EASY just like this thread

1) Start with a Catchy thread title that has a psychological hook (ie., fits the target audience's needs)

2) Engage the reader in a conversation once they click your link (again, like this thread)

3) Offer 2 simple tips that leave them hungry for more.

The key is to get them to click your link

It's true content to make hard worker making money.and with no money

Its completely possible to make money with no money, but you need a time investment.

Oftentimes you can make more money faster if you start with money though.

People need to realize that hard-work and dedication and overcome no money.

Sure its possible, but its a heck of a lot easier to make it if you already have it. Getting off the ground takes a lot of work. IMing takes far more effort and talent than most people realize.

As previously stated time and money are related, but anyone can enter the IM field with no money as long as they are prepared to learn what they can from various freebies and forums and apply that knowledge. People give up too soon these days, as they have been brainwashed into thinking that a magic push button formula actually exsists and they can't be a millionaire over night (I know, sucks doesn't it?).

What i would suggest to anyone starting on a shoestring, would be to utilise the web 2.0 properties, and start promoting and learn on the way. Squidoo is a tremendous outlet for newbies and they have several ways to monetize. Amazon affiliate earnings *wink wink*.

So, if you want to start with nothing, stop getting frustrated by learning everything, and take action. Once you are earning, learn some more, and re-invest.

Every person real confident sincerity work easy to make money. this is real life true statements.

Great advice Justin. If you put in the time, you can start a profitable venture.

Having money to invest does help and makes things quicker but by no means do you have to have money. There are plenty of free platforms that can allow you to make money.

Setup blogger -> Make Quality Posts -> Guest Post on Relevent Niche Blogs -> Comment on relevent blogs -> submit articles to article directories -> Make Free Press Releases -> Profit?

Once you start making money, reinvest it and make even more. People try to make IM more complicated than it really needs to be.

Tis all about leverage, and how I got started too online.

Create a killer product, and get someone with big ass list to promote you, this is free, and you can do this over and over again, and make ship loads of money.

Infact if I did it all over again this is what I would do. Yes. It really is that powerful

Ok. So I have a Wordpress blog. Suppose I find people with similar interests, I manage to post maybe three times a week information about a certain domain. I get around 100 visitors a day according to the statistics. People usually comment on it. What is the next step? How do I make it profitable?

Reinvestment is king, if you feel you have earnt your money and reinvest it, you will work harder to make sure that your reinvestment works.

My easy tip to make money with no money is to start a service. This is by far the easiest way to make money.

Just list your contact details in your signature here and the service you are doing. Or start a few gigs on Fiverr.

Then post 10-20 threads here on the WF daily that are interesting and relevent and you will start to build up a client base.

Once you have made some profit invest in a thread in the Warriors for hire section or the WSO forum.

Hope this helps

Putting all your time into developing a blogger blog is the worst advice ever.

You are investing your time into something you don't own and can be shut down without warning for any number of reasons.

If you are unwilling to part with some of your money to start your business, you are starting a hobby site, not a real business.

Invest your time AND money wisely into your business.

If you can spend a dollar for paid traffic and it returns you a lead that converts at $2 how many times would you do that?

I was on and off with IM but recently I have found my passion and am earning quite a living. Now to give some back to the forum. (I have only been reading what other have to say here -- low post count ftw)
