Money Funds for Affiliate Marketing & Starting a Website

[David Tan]

The scenario is this. You're dirt poor, no computer, no savings, no funds. You could go for free blogging sites like blogger and wordpress.com but you want to do this right and start earning money quickly cuz you don't have the time to do this slowly. So you want to buy domain name, hosting, computer, broadband line, etc.

In your opinion, what's the best way to go about it?

Idea - You might use a no interest credit card (no interest for 12 months). Hopefully after a year, things would have taken off and you can pay it off. Relatively quick and simple and a much cheaper loan.

I guess don't start a business if you don't have what it takes - MONEY.

Go work part time,full time, or anything in some other things first and save the money before starting a business.

An online business is relatively much much cheaper than any other business.
A domain name, server hostings and etc don't cause a bomb if compared to owning a business premise itself.

If you're really desperate, get a loan.

I second jennifsurf. You can't start a business without money, especially extra money you can afford to lose.

Getting a job is the best thing to do in the immediate future. The only situation where I'd go ahead with the online business is if I'm like a programmer/designer and have the knowhow to do it all on my own, and I have a great idea.

[David Tan]

Exactly. But consider you already have a job and you're still dirt poor. You got some time after work but would you use that time to get a second job (more secure, guarantee get paid, more money initially) or go into affiliate marketing (takes time to learn, might not get paid initially and actually might lose money for awhile)?

So the question is, if you're in this kind of situation, do you think you'll ever get into affiliate marketing/try to earn money from the internet?

[Tephus]

Affiliate Marketing is good because it's passive and doesn't take much time. And you can control your income. But a job will always require your active time and pays peanuts.

Hi..

I agree with "jennihsurf" on this topic. Its not a good idea to do Business with the loan-sharks, they will always want to get theyr money back, even if you succeed or not.. I would say that in almost every situation it is best to pay cash for any service. Dont use your credits!! ;-) ..

Remmeber that a lot of people dont have success online !!!. That for some reason invest alot of money in ads and such but dont get results....

I am a living proof that it still is possible to make money without paying for ads :-) using Classifieds, Ad-forums and such:: i just made $320 using free ads, those can be used for pay for ads etc: Google Adwords...


Mvh
