How to Start An Online Business With No money

Online business is all the rage these days. Seems like everyone is setting one up.

You may as well too!

There are many ways to start an online business with no money, you’ve likely heard about many over the years. 

While we can’t cover absolutely every type of online business you can start with no money, we have a few suggestions…

1. Dropshipping

A bit of money does help in the beginning, but it is possible to start a dropshipping business by yourself with no money.

Many people have done it before to great success.

Dropshipping basically just means using a third-party supplier to stock your products (whatever they may be) rather than warehousing and supplying them to customers yourself. 

You can find suppliers who you can pay to manufacture your products after fulfilling an order from the customer, meaning you never technically have to use any of your own capital to purchase stock.

2. Affiliate Marketing

Quite an old online business model now but one that still works. Affiliate marketing revolves around using content (web or social media) to build up a following and encourage sales of products that you are not the seller of. 

Instead, you earn a commission based off users clicking your referral links to buy a product.

You can do this as a traditional niche blog website, or even on Twitter/YouTube/Instagram/etc. Just make sure to declare any affiliate links you have to avoid getting into trouble.

3. Become A Blogger/Vlogger

Growing your personal brand as a blogger or vlogger is still very much doable, even if the market is saturated. 

You’ll have to be quite extroverted and have a unique personality to really stand out.

Most smartphones are perfectly fine when you’re starting out in terms of camera quality. And blogging online is more simple than ever with platforms like Medium offering you a place to publish without paying a single cent.

It can be a great way to build up your influence and following, leading to greater opportunities down the line.

4. Virtual Assistant Business

You can start a virtual assistant online business anytime you want!

A virtual assistant business is great because you can establish yourself in a wide variety of niches, adding or taking niches away the more experienced you get.

There’s basically no startup capital required and all you need to figure out is the logistics and what type of VA work you’ll be providing to clients.

If you want to make the process super simple - we have a course on this!
