How do you make startup cash?

Perfect. Even if you have basic HTML skills that's all you'll need.

Since all you are looking at doing is getting enough start up cash to buy hosting and a few domains, you don't need $1000 or the headache that comes with that type of work. We're only talking about $20 or $30 here.

There are two quick suggestions I HIGHLY recommend you pursue:

First, qkz283 was right on target with suggesting you read this thread:

http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...-its-free.html

But, I would put one twist on it since you're time frame is shorter and you can't wait for them to call you.

Read the thread so you understand what the strategy is.

Instead of mailing letters, walk into a business and ask the following question:

"Who do I talk to about bringing some customers in here to spend some money?"

Focus on smaller, single owner shops for best results. Walking into Macy's or Wal-Mart asking that question probably won't get you too far...

I GUARANTEE you will get an answer, and usually it's the person behind the counter.

WHATEVER you do DON'T ask to speak to the owner. DON'T ask or say ANYTHING else except for the question above EXACTLY like it's typed.

When you ask it, ask with a strong, confident voice.

Then, introduce yourself and tell the owner this:

"I am a small business owner that does one thing and one thing only - I get more customers to walk into your store and spend money. The best thing is, you already have the tool you need, I just change one small thing that takes about a day or so, and you'd be amazed at how much extra you can add to your bottom line every month. It will take me about 15 minutes to explain."

I ask it that way exactly because it weeds out the owners that simply don't have a clue or are too arrogant/think they know it all. It takes about 5 minutes up to that point. So if they aren't interested, nothing lost.

But, I'll tell you this: For every 10 you ask this question, you'll get at least 6 that will give you another 15 minutes, and if you do it correctly, 3 of those will write you a check on the spot (or better yet give you cash ).

Especially when you tell them it's only going to cost them $25.

Tell them you normally do it for $200, but you want to bless 5 businesses over the holiday season and you're only going to charge the first 5 that say yes $25.

If they ask for references, tell them you have an exclusive confidentiality contract that you sign with each customer just as you will with them (you can find a free one with a simple Google search and customize it) so you can't reveal any business names.

Then, use your HTML skills to put the web form on their page, and ...

VOILA - instant start up cash.

Now, here's the catch.

Don't sound desperate. You have to come across as a successful business owner that they'd be foolish not to work with (just don't say it that way )

I use this approach for higher priced consulting, so I can't believe it wouldn't work for a $25 item.

The second suggestion I'll share privately with you if you'd like. It's just too good to share publicly...

Hope it helps.
