Any business model that uses very little money?

You can start an email marketing campaign for just $8 in the first month. Domain & hosting at Bluehost will cost $7 and you can use Aweber's $1 free trial.

When I first started email marketing I used a very similar approach and managed to make a few sales in the first month completely covering any expenses I'd had.

Social Marketing is a good approach if you are limited on funds. You can make good profits if you apply good methods.

Hello Mike,

My personal view on this issue is that you need at least a hosting account & a domain name if you want to engaged with internet marketing.

I recommend you to start an email marketing in order to start earning a decent amount of income every month. But I strongly recommend you not to purchase any email marketing service until you will find a way to get FREE traffic into your website.

If you are going to buy some articles,domain name,hosting account, email marketing service, and maybe some ebooks to be written by professionals you will simply stuck in the traffic area. The traffic area is a bit tricky and I believe that you cannot outsource it. You have to work by yourself for traffic or at least deep into a PPC marketing which is challenging if you are beginner(and I don't recommend it).

So my personal opinion is that you can invest your first money in some really awesome coaching programs. You can just Google and find real testimonials from other people for a specific program.

If I were you I would invest my money into a coaching program initially.

However if you are not new to the concept of internet marketing you can start a website and just write articles in a niche you like until you start seeing some results in traffic!

Good luck,
Zouras

As you don't want to write articles, you could try video marketing. Choose some high converting affiliate offers i.e. Clickbank or CPA then create a good video with the good call to action then link to your offer.

This can be done with no money as it's free to create videos and submit them to YouTube.

To expand upon what cooler1 mentioned, you can couple video marketing with web2.0s and other free platforms with built in audiences. Here is a full post and video I made on the subject:
| How to Make Money as an Internet Marketing Affiliate - 5 Golden Rules and Steps to Get Started -

Time is money though, so make sure what you are promoting is either timely / relevant, or evergreen. i.e. don't review the Atari system since it's been out for decades

you could build a website with very little money if you know how to do it and make money the first month

maybe you can try drop-shipping mate...

Any form of arbitrage would involve little outlay, and in the long term is the best type of business to build since you can keep scaling it.

.. Find businesses that could use help with their on-line presence/video marketing/SEO/opt-in forms etc. Then outsource the work for a profit

Email marketing is prob the cheapest way to go. Pay a writer to write an eBook on your niche , create a sales page and find a source for free traffic. ( like a forum in your niche). EBook on the front end, affiliate products in the middle, coaching or some other high ticket item/service on backend. Mailchimp is free for the first 1000. depending on the list and your offer you can make back what you spent in a few weeks.

Youtube would be great for this.

If it was me, this is what I'd do. I'd get hosting and a domain.
Then I'd target an offline service, with high profit margins that wasn't too saturated (they exist, trust me).

I'd make a ton of youtube videos, using powerpoint or something else, then rank these videos for select keywords all over youtube.

I would register the site on google places, and also build citations for it.

I'd start a blog, and start posting content on the blog twice a week.
Then I'd blast the blog with backlinks using tools I already own (I'll explain how to get money for these tools in a bit). And the blog would of course link to the site.

It doesn't actually matter what I'd do. I'd try to use as many economical/cheap ways of getting traffic to the site on a consistent basis.

Then after 3-6 months, I'd charge companies to rent the site.
Or I'd sell leads to them.
Or I'd give away free leads and collect commissions on jobs.

This is essentially the same thing I'm doing right now. It was very cheap to start up, and I got leads way faster than 3 months. In fact, I used CL to get money in my pocket the first week. Then reinvested that money to rank youtube videos, buy a UPS address, register a google places, and buy scrapebox and some other software.

Now my CL ads and youtube vids bring in quite a bit of traffic. And off this one site alone I do well for myself. I personally love this model, and plan on starting 2 more sites in the new year to scale up everything I'm doing.

List building! There are so many free tools you can use. The main thing you have to invest in is your autoresponder. A lot of people will recommend Aweber (its the mainstream option) but Ive been using another service called eBizAc for a few months and love it. And its only $15 for 10,000 subscribers which is super cheap!

You can do domain and website flipping. This model business will give you profit.

You could start building your list, or if you already have one, start monetizing it.

I also think the best way to monetize it will build a list, it does not require a huge investment of money at the start and you can sell the list and generate a profit.
