Hi Cap,

First thing to do is to get an education for what ever you are looking to get into. Identify what is involved and learn it well before you try anything.

What type of thing are you looking for, general online marketing?

If you are looking for a free intro you can try Bum Marketing from:

It is possible to earn money without investing any, in the internet today. Adsense is one of the example, blog is free, adsense pay you via checks.

Of cos there are other obvious ones in the internet. But most of them, without investing money in it, you will require to put in more effort or time into it.

Time = Money

I always tell people in your situation that eBay is the way to go. You can start with no money... Sell things around your house to get a little start up money and then go from there. That is EXACTLY what I did. I sell over 250k a year on eBay and I have never put a penny of my money into it... I have built it from the money I made off of stuff around my house. Also, I still to this day run my eBay business from my home (though I am about to take the plunge and move it outside my home).

I've heard great things about free online cash system

not promoting it yet but went on the 45 min call and it makes sense

be prepared to pour in a lot of sweat equity, at least 5-10 hours per week but I know several people actually making money, maybe not millionaires but still good

If you want to get into article marketing, that is a good idea. I started with a program that explained everything to me in details, and that is really helpful, but you don't need a program to start. Check out the link Newbie Shield posted for bum marketing. Go through the lessons and join some places like Amazon, Clickbank, or Commission Junction. Find out the basics of what to do and start your work. I have been doing this for about a month and have only made about $80 so far, but I think trying harder will have good results. Good luck with whatever you do!

There are plenty of opportunities out there where you can start without making any investment or paying any fees. I'm involved with several such businesses. In this day and age, it isn't necessary to invest huge sums of money to make money. But you will have to invest time and effort.

Hi, There are a few things on my site that are free to join and you can start making money right away. However, nothing worthwhile is actually free (except the story of Christ of course) and you will need to work your tail off to make it happen for ya.

I wish ya good providence in whatever you choose

Cap,

Spend a few months reading about online marketing (including article writing) before you try to jump in and make money.

Hi Cap,

If you've read all of the Bum Marketing material (a good idea) and you'd like to spend very little at the moment yet still get a good idea of what online marketing is all about, I suggest Honest Riches by Holly Mann.

Hi Cap(and everyone else),
Much as everyone has said there are ways to make money online without costing you money, HOWEVER; the less money you spend the more time you tend to spend. BUMmarketing is a really good starting point for learning how to market for free, as literally it just takes time. I've noticed with the prevalence of BUMmarketing now that there are a lot of articles for many of the same items from clickbank(not a big clickbank fan myself)

There are other methods as well. I teach a method that starts slow (no money) and once you get it going funnels into other markets/opportunites as well. If you're interested let me know. There is work involved, but it's free to start and is a good way to expose yourself to some of the simpler marketing methods out there.

If you have the time there is nothing you can't accomplish online.

Best of luck,
Gilbert

Making money is all about building your list. Do a search on a squeeze page or some call it a lead generation page. Then focus on what you have to offer and make that your page subject. Then you would need to focus on driving traffic to the squeeze page which captures leads (name & emails). The only money that you would have to pay out is possibly a few dollars to host the website/squeeze page. I teach this kind of stuff.

Ok I found some good software from click bank to promote, & I was wondering if Traffic Exchange sites are good for business. I know that most people just ignore your site but has anybody had any-kind of success from this?

Hey Cap. I'm sure by now that you're on board with the underlying message from most of these responses: do your research. In doing so, you'll find that there are many programs out there where little to no money is needed to start up. Good luck in all that you do!
