      Get out there and hustle. Really, if you want it bad enough you will work for it like you said. If you do don't currently have a job, get one. If your looking to start online, find something your good at and can offer your services to others..could be copywriting, graphic design, etc..

      Don't wait around for anyone to fund your "go fund me" account!

      Good luck on your ventures!

      This lol

      The quickest way to build a business is by far with Paid Traffic. You'd be better off getting a job an using that money to invest in traffic.

      All the best on your journey!

    If you have a good business idea, a sound business plan and the drive to make it happen, the money will come. But if you don't have these, nobody will give you any money.

    Like the other guys are saying, get a "real" job and save up until you have plenty to invest (and lose).

    I was in your position a few years back, straight out of school and jumped headfirst into making money online with nothing to support me and very little to invest.

    Didn't take me long to realize I was getting nowhere fast so I got a job which I'm still working today and I have only just begun to turn my attention back to the online world.

    Its just not feasible to do this without something in place to support yourself beforehand.

    You are a little vague in your question OP. What skills do you have that you would like to use to make money? Also what market would you like to target? Be ready to either spend your time or money depending if you want paid traffic or free traffic.

      We sell GFX (Video Intros) , but the plus is that its automatic, no software, no employees, no working 24/7

      There is a huge market for this stuff and we have minimal competition

      The website costs about $2500 and I think to actually get it off the ground, we'll need around $7500 total

        Funny how an "I" just became a "we". Why would a website cost so much?

    If you don't have a good Facebook base of friends/fans that will help spread the word of your campaign, you could consider hiring on someone to help you market it and boost your donations. This is also great if you don't want to pester your friends with it.
