They don’t even calculate what the real cost to turn their idea into a business. I’ve started a business with $0. I went out and found a client. Then I used that money to get biz cards and pay for web hosting and other essentials needed to promote my business.</p> <p>With an online business, you can get started without owning a computer, without paying for a website or really an expense at all. This is a tough way to start, though, but it can be done.</p> <p>Use a library computer or a friends. Start a tumblr or WordPress.com blog and get on Twitter & Facebook. Start building a small audience and connecting with others in your niche. Find a cool affiliate product and promote it to your small audience. Invest the money from sales into a website of your own. Repeat over and over. Keep reinvesting the money coming until it covers all the business expenses and starts generating a profit. ~ t</p>
