Half of the services from website owners are copyrighted without reselling rights means there is no one to resell a service without prior authorization from the website owner. Using drop servicing without prior authorization could let you in-law problems.

Hi everyone! Thank you very much for your informative thread about the 4 online businesses that can be started with no money. Your post is really helpful for those who are interested in becoming business owners but they do not have the funds.

To be honest, I have not heard about these businesses before. I have only tried affiliate marketing and I would definitely recommend it to everyone because it is a very profitable business provided that you have some basic knowledge before starting it. First of all, it is important to have a good site where you will place your affiliate links. Then, you must have a ready audience, the people who will click on your links and buy your affiliate products. Finally, you must select interesting products for promotion so as to make your audience buy them.

Anyhow, thank you for your interesting ideas. It is left to us to choose the business we think will work for us.

Print- On- Demand is a business that offers a way to bypass the investment, risk and time associated with managing the inventory. At a fraction of the cost, it lets you go from creating to selling custom products. Since, digital printing technology got introduced, there has been many hurdles in designing prints. And now, because the technology has become so advanced, with digitisation and the e-commerce industry, the whole concept of print on demand has become quite popular. In print on demand business, once you have the design you can create the product and then put it up for sale in just a matter of minutes. The shipping is also taken care of, it's in your supplier's hands. You'll only have to take care of the customer service when the sale is made. And since you haven't been physically holding any inventory, it will be easier to test ideas, add and remove products.

Technically speaking, you don't need money to start a print-on-demand, dropshipping, affiliate marketing, and dropservicing business. However, just because you can start for free does not necessarily mean you can actually make money by using free methods. You need to understand one simple truth about running an online business that is there is a lot of competition out there. For example, you can start print-on-demand business on RedBubble for zero cost, you pay only when your product is sold. However, the competition is so tough that you might not even 10 visits to your product in 6 months. Yes, you can do affiliate marketing through social media and it does not cost you any money, but just because you are promoting with your audience does not mean you are driving tons of sales. When you run a business, you will understand this fact that is you might have to spend money to build traffic.

Probably, affiliate marketing can be started with no money but it will take a lot of consistency and time for you to be comfortable with it. There are several people who have started affiliate marketing in the past including myself without any monetary investment but I was not really able to succeed because of limited knowledge and lack of good traffic source.

If you want to make money from affiliate marketing for free you should focus on building a very good traffic source such as building your social media page or opening a YouTube channel that will get a lot of views and subscribers on the long run.

That way you can be able to promote your affiliate products and make some good amount of money with it. Depending on the kind of affiliate product you are promoting you can also use WhatsApp to market your affiliate product and make some good amount of money with it.

I have seen a lot of people who have done that and they became very successful.

One good thing I like about online businesses is that you can start up without needing to have money with you unlike offline business that you never start without at least small money to even get a space unless you want to hawk the wares which might not be easy and you would get physically drain easily and it will make money a lot cumbersome

But with online you start without needing a dime. You don't need to even psy for a space with your social media platforms you should be able to advertise your business.

Like you rightly mentioned you can make money online with affiliate marketing without needing to pay a dime. You can also start drop shipping without needing to start with money. All you need do you is to sign up on the sites and start using the banners to advertise for people to know about the products and buy through you and money is made
