How can I make money online without investing in anything?

It seems that you only have the option of providing services. To make money online you will have to invest money or time. If you don't have money you will have to invest your time.

So analyze yourself, what are your talents and strenghts? What value can you provide to others? Then go to Fiverr, Odesk or Elance and find a service you can provide to others.

Once you have a regular income from being a service provider, you can invest some of this money in building a business as an affiliate.

you can build a review blog of items you like, then link to those through your affiliate link (clickbank, amazon, ebay, etc). Build traffic to it through squidoo, hub pages, facebook, and so on. comment on other blogs about similar things and post your page link there, if allowed. you're bound to build traffic naturally that way.

Well, that's a bummer.

However, you can register a ".info" domain for a year for $1, and it's not beyond your wit to find some friend or relative to buy you one.

Let's not pretend that doesn't matter much, because in the long run, it actually does. It's kind of "the one thing" that you do need to spend money on. But $1.

And they're right.

(There'll also be a few who may tell you that you don't, and they're basically wrong).

Here's what you really need for ClickBank, in one little post.

But all you need to buy, for a website, is the domain-name for $1.

The site/hosting you don't need to pay a penny for.

Good places to use (all free): Weebly, Yola, Blinkweb, 000WebHost.

* * Important: * * good places to avoid: Blogger/Blogspot, HubPages, Squidoo (these are unreliable sites you can never own: better explained here, but read the whole thread slowly and carefully!).

Ok, you've tried some second-class stuff, which was all "odds against", but still "an experience".

That's good news. It may prevent some people from instinctively telling you "Set up an article-writing business", which 9 people out of 10 around here get told, regardless of their experience/literacy. :rolleyes:

(Your literacy looks fine to me, by the way: that wasn't a "hidden criticism"!).

You and thousands of others. (I know: from your perspective it probably feels like "just you", right? It isn't).

"With a website" is better, in my opinion.

Websites don't have to cost money.

Domain-names cost money (if you call $1 "money").

You're definitely going to have to trade your time an effort to make money online. Learn this one fact early - there's really no "get rich quick" or "easy money" to be made online. Since you're so young & probably don't have many expenses like rent, food, utilities etc., there's really no rush for you to make money right away. (I know you want to make money now, but there's quite a bit to learn to make money online & everything takes time, you're probably better off learning everything you can & finding out what works, then developing that one method further until you've got good income.)

Having a website is definitely something that you'll have to do at some point. It's true that if you post on public sites like blogger, hubpages, even facebook pages eventually get taken away from you if they grow too large & aren't set up correctly (hint: set it up as a website page), so owning your own domain and hosting with the correct company is definitely something you need to consider.

You can get started with some of the services recommended above, and also consider that in addition to getting a $1 .info domain, 1and1.com is offering $1 .com's - wouldn't your mom, dad or one of your grandparents shell out a dollar for you? You could cut their grass and ask them to buy you 10 domains at that price so you can work in multiple niches...

Offering a service is something that you can consider, but remember that there's a lot of competition out there and it will take time to build a credible enough reputation to make real money that way.

My advice would be to go in a couple directions simultaneously - choose 2 or 3 and stick with them for the next year & learn everything you can about them. At the end of the year you'll probably be pretty surprised about what you've gained and the income you'll be making.

i'm only 19 and I make a good chunk of money online now. First thing you NEED to realize that this isn't a joke. Your starting a business and funding is nearly necessary if you want any real cash coming in. Yes you can try making a blog and yes you can start a PPC campaign but these are still strategies that work best when working off on some kind of budget. If you really want to you can try to offer services to people but then the whole factor of age and skill comes into play. If i was outsourcing i wouldn't trust a 16yr old kid to do work for me(just being honest here).

Your best bet for making money online(to fund other projects) is to learn dropshipping and sell items on eBay. this is how i first started out and got the funding i needed for other business ideas and it really worked. Don't just jump into this field because you'll fail just like you did before. Research dropshipping companies (not like doba companies) and make sure you know what to do inside and out before you do anything. Learn how EVERYTHING works and what you'll do if something goes wrong but right now this is with out a doubt the easiest and most effective way for you to make money online now.

good luck kid and pm me if need be.

Affiliate marketing - Learn, learn, learn, then work, work, work, and keep working that is the only way.


Or a cool Fiverr gig can be a quick fix in the meantime

The key is to find one product that interests you and then STAY FOCUSED!

(I know how easy it is to fall into the information overload. 'Been there done that)

If you're short on cash then you will have to pay in time to get started.

If you follow the steps below you will be on your way to a successfully generating an income.

1).Get an affiliate account at Clickbank and chose a product in a niche that interests you.

2). Do some in depth keyword research

3). Registered a domain based on one of your most profitable keywords - You can get a .info domain at namecheap.com for $2.99 per year

4). Get hosting for your domain - If you don't have enough $$$ for a hosting account PM me and I'll set you up on one of my reseller servers for a month or two - no strings attached - until you can get up and running.

5). If you're going the Clickbank rout, start by setting up a redirect from the domain to the affiliate offer or...

Maybe you are good at something like HTML coding or doing online research or whatever. The point is that you can offer your services and direct traffic to your own website from right here in the Warrior Forum using your signature or using the warrior special offers or even the Warrior for hire section.

6). Write at least three articles and submit them to Ezinearticles. Be sure to focus on one of your most profitable key words for each article (use a keyword density of 1.75% t0 2%) and don't forget to add a resource box and one call to action then link your article to your redirected website.

7). While waiting for your article to be approved start building your website. Use a template and try to create content for at least twenty pages. Focus each page on a profitable key word from your key word research using about the same key word density of not more than 2.5%.

8). Setup an autoresponder account. And follow up email series - If you can't afford an autoresponder you can send emails out manually - time consuming but you can do it for a while until you start making some $$$

9). Create a report or an ebook or whatever that you can offer to your opt-in listget rid of your redirect and set up your website.

10). Write at lest 3 more articles for article directory submission and get them submitted. Each article should again be focused on a specific key word.


11). Upload your website and go live. Don't forget to remove your redirect if working with Clickbank.

13). Start setting up you Web 2.0 properties like Wordpress.com, Squidoo.com, Tumbler.com etc. and don't forget Twitter.com (They are free)

Each site in your network should have a unique key word focused article with a 1 call to action and one link pointing back to you website. It is ok to spin some of your earlier articles here.

14). Start tweeting at leas 3 times each day and continue to expand your Web 2.0 network.

15). Start building some backlinks to both your articles and your expanding Web 2.0 network.

The list goes on but these steps will get you started and making some $$$

Once you are earning a few bucks you can start outsourcing some of the more tedious aspects of your business and start investing in some of the more expensive forms of advertising.

This is what works for my students and I have been using this same method for over nine years now.


Looking forward to hearing about your success!...

It's easy really. Just create free blogger blog, write whatever you like, monetize it with Adsense.

There are a lot of jobs being offered from freelancing sites. Just realize what skills you have and look for job postings matching your skills.

Start a free blog, write good content, build a list, sell them stuff.

Hi Jay,
From my experience it is very hard to make money with no money down. Most free opportunities out there simply do not work.
Think logically, if it costs nothing to get into the company, how can it make money?

Anyway, I suggest you do a search for "Bum Marketing" as you may learn lots of free strategies to market products online such as Clickbank etc.
Good luck

Try it with squidoo or hub pages which offers some excellent tools to do this.

try article marketing..register with clickbank

Is it easy to make money online? There are many internet marketers to fail. But only $1 that you spend today is your luckiness, maybe.

well you have to invest your time at least to earn online. though there are lot of easy ways. like paid to click,task.

Provide a service for IMers such as article marketing. Set up a sales page on a free wordpress blog. Create a link to that in your warrior forum signature and post on the forum often to get customers.

With difficulty!

Sorry for sounding flippant, but business is often about invest first and profit later.

That's not to say you have to spend money, but you're either spending money to advance your cause or a lot of your own time.

Why not start on fiverr or freelancing? Offer something you can deliver and do a few gigs. Then you've got some expertise to tell others how to do it. Read this forum, learn and keep growing. Once you've got some money from some gigs, you can invest it into a website, marketing or whatever else you wish.

Best advice I can give - when you earn money - spend it wisely!!!!

Stay motivated and you'll get there - all of us were in the same position at some point.

I really understand your situation, but to be frank like any other businesses, to make online needs some money to invest. Not much..here are the basic requirements

Domain name registration-$10/year
Hosting-$10/Month
Autoresponder-$19/Month

Moreover don't think that you will make money immediately. It requires some time with trial and error. First educate yourself,then implement it. Last but not the least you must follow a proven program that can make you money.

You can never make money without investing. You have to spend to get back the money you have spent. In internet marketing its not too much to spend, you just need to do some research and work whats best for your client. But if I were you, you first apply to some freelance jobs, there are data entry jobs, editing jobs, that will be a good start to get the investment that soon will be a start for your business. Try odesk, freelancer, elance, and craigslist.

Stay in the home and act as a SEOer is a really good thing. But it needs lots of time and energy to be a good SEOer and make much money.

All you need is a link and social media. If you're in the US or Canada, let me know and I'll show you how you can make $$. Otherwise, use social media to drive traffic - Youtube, Facebook, Facebook notes. You will pay in time or money. Good luck.

well, isnt time an invesment ?
but im guessing your talking about money , i would suggest that you at least buy decent web hosting

Making money online is all about dedication and the readiness to stick with it no matter what.

You can definitely get a free blog on blogger.com and write your heart out. At least you'll be testing your writing skills that way. Choose a topic of interest and research and start putting content out there.

On blogger you can then monetize with adsense or amazon.

Writing product reviews is also another way to go and this can also be done with free blogging platforms.

Hubpages.com is another good choice to start with your internet marketing journey.

With internet marketing, content creation is the number one skill, you can either do it for yourself or for others. Content could be articles, reviews, graphic design, videos, etc. and all these can be learned for free on the web with a little amount research and also the warrior forum is a good resource for learning how to make money online. There's a lot of free valuable info here.

Take the time to learn and avoid promises of get rich quick schemes.

This is a business and should be taken seriously and in most cases takes time.

So put your heart, mind and work in it.

Visit fiverr to see what services you can offer.

Pm if you need help with ideas.

Always willing to help.

Cheers and good luck.

Get yourself and eBay account and sale anything that you have at home that you don't need!

Set yourself a realistic target of $100, once you have reached this goal then you can look at investing this money into buying domain names, hosting and other products you may need.

eBay is the quickest way to make a quick buck online if you are just starting out!

You can join the websites which is created for the survey of the products. The question will be asked by the marketing people about the product.. just you have to answer those question with relevant answer.. through this you can earn money without investing...

I was in your shoes not too long ago. I did a lot of stupid things admittedly and never will do them again, spam in forums with affiliate links, add random people in facebook and attempt to sell them affiliate products and post my sites in link farms. Take your time and decide what you really want. In fact I learnt something important, you should invest in a proper website, that is one important thing, don't be penny wise pound foolish. Since, you are 16, ask your mum's permission (thats what I did.) Also, you should follow your passion. Don't rush and do it just for the money that you miss out on the true details that will lead you to your success.

Heres 2 suggestions:
1) Selling affiliate products that are worth representing and related to your niche. Ever read a good ebook? You can opt to be an affiliate for them and sell their products. The key to really being a good affiliate is to transfer the good feeling and trust you have in their products to the customer. Just tell them in detail why is it you enjoyed the book and they will not hesitate to buy. You can also post results of your success when using the techniques mentioned product to the customer, an added bonus. For example, if it is a weight training book, show them what you have sculpted on your body so far, maybe some ripped biceps?
2) Writing an ebook on anything that solved your problem and you feel that you have very solid techniques on it. I am writing an ebook that is based on a problem I have solved recently that is health related so you can too, it takes time though. Don't expect an ebook to be finished in a week. Also, don't take too long to finish it, it is not a book that has to be 300 pages long.

Not to discourage you in anyway, but think about taking a part time job in real life. Work for 2 - 3 months, keep reading this forum. Earn some money and use some, or all, of it to invest in your internet business. Please let me know your thoughts on this.

Already some great advice here. Just to summarize I guess...there are several places online to build a blog or site for free, many mentioned already. There are several places to find affiliate programs, just google it, there's no cost to participate in most. There's also many ways to promote your site without paying for it. Build backlinks yourself, take just a few minutes each day, do 10 to 20. Just pick a great product, great keywords, build a site, promote it. You can do all of it free, you just need to spend more time doing a lot tasks that most experienced marketers outsource. I would advise not trying to do a lot of sites, just 1 or 2, so your efforts will be focused.

If you contact me, I'll see what we can do for you for free on our site as well. I could also give you some other ideas. Good Luck!

There are many ways to make money online without investing anything,
In order to do that you should,
Provide service or a product in clickbank, fiverr or such websites...

"4). Get hosting for your domain – If you don’t have enough $$$ for a hosting account PM me and I’ll set you up on one of my reseller servers for a month or two – no strings attached – until you can get up and running." from Robert.

I find this offer so sincere, not only the guy shared info like any other here but sharing his reseller hosting account for a period of time is so generous of him. I read many useful ideas here and it's up to you where to start. Go on and make your own way earning money online.

it's a business. Sorry to say, no shortcut in it. It needs Time n Money both. If somebody told you - only time, no money.... He lied. You do everything yourself on trial and error and spend too much time without earning, you'll lose inspiration. So pls, first find out your strengths and weaknesses. Then do what you can and let others do what they can. You can find 'others' in fiverr.com in cheap price.
Squidoo and hubpages can be a support to your site. But you can't rely on them. They change their policies anytime.

I think as long as you have enough time to invest,you can still earn some money.firstly.you should open a google account, thus,you will own a whole basic tool to grow.you can use the google account to open a free blog site,a adsense account for earning.
THen write start to write good content about the subject you are familar.thus, just join more forums and blog communities to promite your blog site to get massive traffic.of course, you should put the adsense ad code in the blogs to start money now.
I think it is the very easy way to earn for the beginners without a domain purchase.

For this you need a friend.

Get a friend to loan you their camera.

Post funny videos on youtube and other services. Like you can make some money. Also you will get some necessary exposure. Well, get to it now!

Squidoo

You can start a free blog (blogger or Wordpress) in a niche that you enjoy like sports, skateboarding, favorite video games, etc. Just start talking and then find affiliate products that match your topic. Casually mention these products that you think are cool and include a link to either a squidoo lens, hub pages page, or directly link to the product page.

For a free website, you can go to Weebly.com and get set up. You can use these free tools to get your feet wet and test out what works or doesn't. Once you begin making a few dollars regularly, you can invest in domain names and website hosting.

You can make youtube videos promoting affiliate products. If you don;t have money for a domain name and for a hosting account then use blogger.com. Its free. Write articles and post them on the top five to ten article directories. In your signature put in up to two links pointing to a page on your blogger blog.

Hi

Dont despair. The one thing you have been doing so far is learning. Imagine how much it costs to go to college. Sounds like you have had a pretty education with IM so far. Hopefully you can apply the lessons you have learnt already. There isnt a magic switch you can flick to make money pour out of your computer into your lap. You have to A) Learn, B) Apply, C) Test....... go back to A,B & C several times before you can reach D..... D=making a little bit of money........ but the more A,B & C you do, the bigger D will get.

Good luck

Good Luck

Whatever you do stick to one thing when you start out...You don't want to get overwhelmed with too much information...IM is all about investing your time and sometimes money...But you need to invest in the right things...This forum is a great place to get free information...

Go to fiverr and check if you can do something similar.

giving this kid information overload isn't going to help either.

their lots of ways to earn money online without single penny investment,.all you have to do is spend time and effort for it..

You have to really invest to make money online unless if you work for another person. Choose which you like.... work online for another person or create your own website for free using Wordpress, Squidoo and Hubpages. Or you can web-designing if you have the skill, or article writing.

Okay, first you migiht need to invest a little in a website. Not a lot but jsut a little. Either get a job to help fund it or ask your parents. Or do a small gig. Try fiverr if you need some start up money.

Next, pick a niche that you want to get into. Find something that you can write about and make it into a product. I would suggest an ebook, plus auido mp3s and even videos. Depending on what equipment you have.

I would suggest you read up on online marketing as well as how to create pdfs etc.

Making a product costs you no money other than time.

My friend was about your age when he launched his own ebook and website which brought in some nice money. The cool thing about launching your own product and website is that you can help consult other peope and for a fee later on.

So I hope that helps!

Obviously I am a little bit biased but micro business arbitrage works really well, you just need to research and find the best valued gigs available then relist other peoples services on as many other micro business sites as you can find. Then when you get paid you just send the job to someone else and make a small profit. If you can master arbitrage you can go in any direction you want. hope this helps.

Most of the forum members have said it all....there are alot of things you can do for free, but eventually you are gonna have to spend money to expand your business. Best of luck to ya, but start now.

you can learn a lot from this forum, don't need to pay money,but how to deal,without money is impossible

if you are artist , photographer, writer You can start a free blog or website and monetize this(site or blog) , you can earn good from ad networks.

Hi,

From my experiences, you can't make money without investing money in you im journey. That's the fact. Anything else, that's rubbish.

I would first of all do the 30 day challenge The Challenge and get some experience of internet marketing under your belt. It is totally free.

Then start to offer your services or what you are good at at places like fiverr, here, other forums, and on freelancer sites.

You could also looking into middle man services. Won't go into too much details but just put it into the search here and you will find out what it is.

I was going to say sign up as an amazon affiliate and find a product you can build a website around, but you mentioned you don't have 10 bucks for a domain name. Actually thats all it would cost and you could do all the promoting and everything yourself. It would take some time but can be very rewarding as I have come to find out. I got myself a .com the other day for 1.99. Godaddy had a promotion. I'm sure you could come up with a couple bucks for a domain. Truth of the matter is, this is a business and its hard to start one without a little bit of cash. You might also try fiverr for a little while just to get enough cash to do something else. Find people that need a solution, go find the solution on fiverr, sell the solution to whoever for double the money or more.

Squidoo is good if you cannot register a domain. Other than that just spend a lot of time learning and do not get drawn into all the scams out there

Wow, lots of responses. So OP, what method do you want to use?

If money is an issue, then I encourage you to do whatever it takes to come up with it, and many great ideas were tossed around on this thread.

Once you have the money, I would recommend taking a look at what this fellow teenager did:

How a 16 year old sets up a complete affiliate marketing funnel with traffic in 12 hours

Create a free site at wordpress.com. blogger.com and/or squidoo.com.

Use the free google keyword tool to find keywords.

Get free information here.

Once you have a market and a niche decided, create the free sites as above and promote free to join affiliate programs examples, amazon.com, commissionjunction.com, maxbounty.com.

Write blog post that are helpful to your niche and include offers on the sidebar and in the body of the post itself behind your keywords.

You can also go to animoto.com and sign up for free. Create 30 second videos for a simplle product with your affiliate link shorten using shorturl or some other services.

Post it on youtube and other video sites.

Once you start making some money, get a real domain, hosting, an autoresponder and start building a list.

People make money with any and all of these methods but it will take work.

Good luck.

Listen up! There are so many great suggestions here, but I have to step in and offer a suggestion that will put money in your pocket right away without websites, affiliate offers, ebooks, blah, blah, blah....

Go to fiverr. Look at all the gigs there. Get creative! You're young, you can think of something! Here's an idea: Have a girlfriend? OR Friends who are girls? Look at all the play that the gigs are getting for girls holding up .com domains! Look at the amusing gigs like funny videos, crazy finger puppets, etc., etc. There's SO MUCH stuff that a person like you can do and get paid very quickly with no expenditures.

Just go out there, register and account and do it. ...taps fingers... NO, stop reading more posts, go and do it... NOW...

Register with clickbank then google free classifieds and make a list of classifieds to advertise on, but when advertising make sure the category you advertise in is relevent to your product. Example: facial cream would go in the beauty or health category.

use free facebook fan page to drive traffic to affiliate link from click bank
absolute free also you free to pm me any time you need any help

Setup blog on blogger.com and make money on adsense. That's the cheapest way with zero cost.

I make my first money by brokering service. You only need first customer and it will be a rolling snowball. Just be patient.
