So I am starting again...

Elance, oDesk, Guru.com. If you have $20, you can advertise in Warriors for Hire...

There are lots of threads here at the WF about turning your writing skills into an income. It's a great way to start. Check with those who offer the services in the WF Classifieds and see if they need additional authors. Maybe you can work something out.

List your services everywhere: Odesk, eLance, etc. And even at Fiverr.com. The thing is, there is a market already there for what you offer. Once you've established a relationship with your customer, you can do business outside of the service where you were first contracted.

Then you have your own clientele, and more importantly, income. Now you have some money to invest in building your passive, affiliate income streams.

I hope it goes great for you

Every success comes ahead followed by several failures. So unless you are ready to accept failures there will be no hope of success. $200 is big money as per Indian currency but not very good to try your hands on PPC.

You said you can write good articles why you haven't invested in blogging. Web hosting for an year would have cost you $100, $10 for domain rest $90 you might have spent on promoting your blog.

I am surprised you missed your great potential of earning running behind PCC with merely $200. If you have asked how can I start making money online with $0.0 in your pocket in 2009 or 2010 I may have recommend you try your luck with any free blogging platform. But as per today a free blogging platform is very much risky to start business with.

Try your luck with fiverr with writing gig, I hope it might help. Or work offline for some time and make some money to invest and re-try.

A 100% free method to make some money to invest :
Wake up early in the morning and go for morning walk, visit specially student canteen or liquor shop, you may get several steel cans and glass bottles. By 11 nearly all junk yards (in India they known as Loha Lokhand Tin Tupper, bhangar or kabadi ki dukan on different states) are open go and sell those stuffs to those who'll offer more money. Like this you can earn at least $2-$4 every day. Do this for a month and get ready again for real investment.

The suggestion above will get you making some money. But a tip that will help as well, is to learn all you can about marketing online. That way you will not waste your money on PPC, again. Take a look at the free course I like to below. Don't worry about getting into the company, just watch the videos, and learn some of the basics, that you need to create a successful online business.

Hope this help you.

You could offer free review articles to people around the forum in order to get your first paying client. Once you hit $20, pay for a Warriors For Hire thread, and you can get further clients in no time (as you'll have reviews and samples to show).

Make sure you have some samples you can show people even before offering free review articles. If you don't have any, just write some on any topics that interest you. You don't need published works in order to show your capabilities.

Hi, I suggest that after you get some money, try SEO instead of PPC. it might be cheaper to start with.
