How to Start a Business for under $100
The great thing about IM is you can START A BUSINESS for under $100 and have enough left over to buy beer for the weekend.
If you're serious about starting a business, not a hobby, then you need the best tools and suppliers. From the entrepreneurs in my family that run all sorts of businesses from a fencing company to fishing company, they all preach the same thing: YOU NEED THE BEST.
The best comes pretty cheap in IM for starting a business compared to a brick and mortar one.
Here's what to do with $100:
FIRST! Develop a plan (free): Determine a very detailed niche that you know from personal experience that has an opportunity that you can provide value. Come up with a plan to differentiate yourself from the competition and become either the 'best, only, easiest, or quickest' at something in your field.
The goal is to build a list. Then, provide them value, ASK THEM WHAT THEY WANT, and then GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANT. It's that simple. Don't use the theory 'if you build it they will come.'
