How to Start an Online Business For No Money?
It’s all a lie!!
You get these online gurus promising that you can run your online business for no money or very little… but what about a website, hosting, a domain name, advertising, training??… on and on it goes.
Surely it must cost a fortune to start an online business?
Like anything else, there is an easy way and a hard way.
So can you start an online business for no money?
Read on and I will explain how it is possible.
The cost of a traditional business
Just imagine how much it costs to open up a traditional business.
What about a franchise?
I read recently that a MacDonald’s franchise can cost over 1 million dollars!
Even a local coffee shop can be tens of thousands.
Recently I looked into purchasing a news agency at the small country town I grew up in, and that was over one hundred thousand!
If you decide to buy into a traditional business, you are going to be in debt up to your eye-balls, and you have really just bought yourself a job that is 7 days a week, 365 days a years!
At least you will have a great boss! 😉
BUT for me… NO THANKS!
Surely it shouldn’t cost this much to start a business online, should it?
The cost of an online business
So what tools do you need to start an online business and how much will it cost?
- A website – cost up to $15k
A website is an absolute must to have an online business, but how much does it cost for a developer to build one these days?
Many developers are charging many thousands of dollars for a simple website, and I have even seen one developer charging $25,000!
But at the very least, you could be up for several thousand dollars.
- A domain name – cost $10-20 a year
To have a website you need to buy a domain name.
Fortunately, they are relatively inexpensive, and you should be able to get one for about 10 bucks a year.
- Hosting – cost up to $50 per month
Once you have a website and a domain name, you need somewhere to host it.
Some hosting services can charge up to $50 per month, but there are cheaper options for a bit over $10 per month.
- Advertising – cost up to tens of thousands
To get people to buy your stuff, you need to get them to visit your site and this can be VERY expensive.
There is Facebook advertising, Pay Per Click, Solo Ads and more.
And if you don’t know what you are doing, you still may not see great results.
- Training – cost up to tens of thousands
If you think that you can just build a website and make millions online, in the words of the great Australian movie “The Castle”… YOUR DREAMIN’!!
You need to get some training to learn how to do this stuff!
But with the many scams online, and some of the highly priced programs from some of the “gurus” the cost of an education can be very expensive, and you could still struggle.
So what are you saying, you might be asking me?
This is looking almost as bad as buying into a traditional business!
Well I’m about to show you how you can do this for a WHOLE lot less!
In fact, I will show you how you can start an online business for NO MONEY at all!

You know this reminds me so much of the platform I am on.
My platform is super similar to the Super Affiliate Network. They give you many different sites that teach you and allow you a place to build websites.
However I’m not sure if I have seen my affiliate program at the top of a Google search engines. So image actually kinda interested in this.
They do tell you on my site that it’s a great thing to have multiple streams of income

Please let me know what you guys think about this and how it relates to this company. Because honestly. To me it looks like the exact same thing that Our company founder has called the Fearless Society
Hey Jason, I haven’t heard of this platform before, but I have heard of the founder.
I can’t really say if it is similar to Wealthy Affiliate or not, but I can certainly vouch for WA 🙂
I was interested in the article about how to start an online business with no money. That would be for me! I don’t have any money to invest, well just a little, Ive been using Wealthy Affiliate for almost 4 months, and it’s been great! I pay the premium membership and I have two blogging sites started. I haven’t yet made any money but that will come over time!
Hi Karin, glad to hear that you have started the process of making money online, it sounds like you are making some great progress!
I know it can be a bit frustrating at the beginning as you want to start earning some decent money, but I assure you, if you keep following Wealthy Affiliate’s training and working hard, the success will come 🙂
It sures pays to look around these days. Because there is so many great options and tools out there to make extra money. People really have great ideas and ways of making money.
I have been using Wealthy Affiliate for some time now. It has helped me so much to learn how to build and implement my online presence for a sensible price. Actually I think a steal.
Glad I gave it a try. I also recommend anyone who wants a great system at a low price to try it.
Glad to hear that you are happy and doing well with Wealthy Affiliate Vertical Veloxity!
You are right!
For all the value you get with the premium membership, it really is a steal at the price being offered!
BUT, I always suggest starting out with the free membership!
Thanks for your comment 🙂
Hello John. I have been looking for an appropriate online business trainer and I think your article maybe addressing my situation. I have a great desire to set up an online business but the cost of training and advertising has always deterred me from doing so. How comprehensive is wealthy affiliate in this?
I will be waiting for your response.
Thanks in advance
Thanks Bruno!
Wealthy Affiliate is about as comprehensive as it gets!
By following their training you can turn any passion into a thriving business online, and scale it to any level you are prepared to work for.
Sign up for a free membership and I am sure you won’t be disappointed! 🙂
I’ve always said you get out of it what you put into it. You must be consistent and dedicated. You also have to be passionate about your business and stick to it and know that success may not come overnight.
You are SO right Anthony!
So many people think that they can throw out a few links and make millions online, but it just doesn’t work that way!
Like anything else worthwhile in life, it takes hard work and persistence… but the rewards are SOOO worth it!!
Thanks for your comment 🙂
Hi John,
Great website and brilliant preview. Personally I would have doubted you as it does cost money to set up a website, even a basic one but that is a measly $10. THe design factor is taken care of by using a content management system like wordpress.
What I would like to point out..not taking training can cost you thousands of bucks. I tried to self teach for 2 years before joining wealthy affiliate 2 years x part time salary = thousands of $$ in man hours even if you calculate at the minimum salary.
Also, getting quality training really cuts short the learning curve by 2 or 3 years.
Thanks for your insights Derek 🙂
I would also add that getting the the right quality training can can not only cut your learning curve by years, but it can actually be the difference between success and failure.
If you get the wrong training, it can actually cost you a fortune, and you may not even succeed at all.
In my experience, this is why so many people give up at online marketing… getting the wrong training and advice!
Also, at the end of the day, to be really successful online, you will have to invest in your own education, but with Wealthy Affiliate, you CAN start for free, gain some experience and get some success, BEFORE you start to re-invest!
Success builds on success!!
Thanks again!
You are definitely right when saying that an online business can get pretty expensive especially if you don’t know what you’re doing, but Wealthy Affiliate teaches you all that and more. Joining Wealthy Affiliate is definitely one of the best things I’ve ever done and I’m never going to leave it. The training is superb and you can get hosting, domain name and more for an unbelievable price.
Thanks for your comment Brian!
If you fall into one of the so called “gurus” trap, learning to make money online can become VERY expensive, and you still may not have all the answers!
If you go through Wealthy Affiliate’s free training course, I think you will be pleasantly surprised on the outcome! 🙂
Hi John, great post. I agree there are loads of people out there trying to scam you. but Wealthy Affiliate is brilliant, supportive and very welcoming to people new to it all. Definitely worth trying. Thanks again
I couldn’t agree more with you about Wealthy Affiliate John, you won’t go wrong with their training platform!
