How should I go about making money with very little to start with?

Currently I have very little money to start with and I need about 70$ before the 8th currently, but on topic I keep struggling to get $$ without having to invest quite a large amount, I am not new to internet marketing and I know the game but I have trouble starting up products and ideas because of the low amount of funds. I am yes younger than 18 but I have learned from internet marketing within the past 6 months and know a good sum of it. So if I were 18 I wouldn't have asked this but any suggestions how to get started with very low amount of funds would be great!

    Well, give me a little more to work with. Do you already have a site up with a domain name and hosting? Have you tried paid ads? Do you have a receptive email list if not what are you doing to build a relationship with them? I have some suggestions but none that would get you pay by the 8th of this month.

      I currently am trying to integrate my opt in code to this css page but cannot seem to fix it, I planned on purchasing some solo ads to gain a list and get some sale from it to see how it ran. I have enough to get a domain + hosting easily, but niche is the problem for that, also I would have tried paid ads but again not enough $$.... Also I remember a domain I own called Tellmeyourproblem.org

    My suggestion for you if you need money quickly is to find something that you do well or are capable of doing well and sell your services on fiverr.com and other sites like fiverr. For example: write articles, provide bookmarking, provide backlinks, provide youtube views, likes and comments. etc. For $70, thats a total of 14 gigs. Try and get at least 5 gigs a day to meet your goal.

      I was going to mention this myself. Another added benefit of this is you can receive the pay to your paypal account and then have it transferred to your bank account. Not sure what could be quicker than this other than finding a few items around the house and selling them on Craigslist if you need that money that fast.

      I could provide hits to sites, but I also heard fiverr is sorta saturated now... what do you think about that?

        In internet marketing time is money. You will draw a lot of eyeballs if you provide a service that's faster that anyone else. You can also provide the same services at fiverr. check out this link: Top 20 Sites like Fiverr | Phill Turner - Tel 01737 215623

      Travis, each of the suggestions here seem like your best bet to produce quick income.

      For Freelancing options, Fiverr.com was already suggested, and I would consider odesk.com and elance.com if you have more advanced or proven skills. These sites pay a bit more, so it would require fewer gigs to produce the money you need.

      I'm excited to see you starting young - but, remember that Internet Marketing is a business, and it requires time to build, as any business would. Finding ways to make a few quick dollars while you build your long-term business would be a sound strategy.

        Yes I do understand that it all ain't overnight 50,000$ from my current position but when you got a high quality buyer list I guess that is possible, I rather create a long term income instead of a short term and go find a new idea, my parents still believe your all on a plot just on me and wanting to scam me.... I would say I do also co-own http://hostlover.com/ but it is relatively new and not enough customers to get enough $$ to pay for its self monthly, currently costing me and my partner @ around 450$ a month to start with atm.

    Okay, i'm in the same boat. I have like very little money to start with. I do have a website up if you would like to view it is, www1cheapoutlet.com , I have about $75.00 dollars right now so i was thinking of going to like ebay and trying to buy a google adwords or like a bing adwords coupon or something like that, is this a bad idea? I've never done anything like this before. Should I go to a ppc, or pay per mail? Is it worth it? Where can I sign up for a mentor. What are good ppc and ppm sites? What ones are bad? Can someone give me a hand please. Just some advice, or a quick chat. Please.

    Travis,

    Here is an offline way for you to make some cash pretty quick starting with almost nothing.

    In a nutshell search Craigslist in the free section and look for items that people are giving away that are things that people would still buy, such as computer stuff, furnature, electronics, etc. and contact the people giving away the free stuff you want and arrange to pick the item up and once you get these free items, simple clean them up, take a picture and re-list it in the proper section on Craigslist and sell it for a profit.

    I personally used to do this a few years back and I have few freinds that still do this now and they make great money, so I know it works.

    Also, you can check out some other unique money making ideas at:

    I hope this helps you out.

    All the best,

      What a surprise I completely forgot about their free section, the other day I was just letting people know about it and how profitable it can be. . . . but I do not have a good memory so I typically often forget what I planned on doing that is profitable.

    The offline idea is a good one. I was thinking offline too and then read the post/idea.

    You can also do something similar in which you pick up junk people would otherwise throw away. Then see what can be salvaged and re-sell it.

    I read about people who offer to clean out garages and anything else. Same principle as picking up junk, but it's also a service where you clean something, etc.

    Then, use profits for online business.

    Stay away from paid ads until you have more experience. Things like PPC. You need to learn from a credible source so you minimize possibility of losing (too much) money.

    You can also try calling warehouses in your area. See if they have any junk that needs hauling away. Never know what you can stumble across doing that.

    Hey, place a classified ad in a weekly shopper mailer for hauling junk away. Put flyers up where you can.

    Make a website (simple one) and send people to it. Put your phone number on it and tell them to call you.

    Reinvest profits into IM.
