Do you think its plausible to start off with little to no money?

im sorry if this is a stupid question but what are custom lp's?

Custom landing pages. Look in the buy and sell forum and you'll find people selling the graphics, coding and lp packages. It takes a while to learn the WF shorthand.

I know how it feels to not have a lot to spend on marketing, but people gave you a lot of good advice in this thread.

Good luck bro.
 
Here's a spreadsheet I made to help me see how quickly I could grow an initial investment based on a consistent ROI.

RapidShare: 1-CLICK Web hosting - Easy Filehosting

If you ...

  • start with $100 this August 1st
  • consistently average 50% ROI
  • run with a network that'll give you weekly payouts (try Profit Kings Media)
  • reinvest all profits
You could be sitting on over 40K by mid-November.

The problem with this plan is finding the traffic volume to be able to reinvest 100% of your profits once you're in the five figure range.

If you can't get weekly payments, try for bi-weekly and change the iteration days to 14. Then you'd have to wait until next Feb to hit the same amount.

Great Job. Deserve +rep
 
Shit... Fuck... Anus Licker! Fucking Tourette's.


Investing $100, would not be wasting your time. How I see it is... You need to know how to invest $10 or $100 before you'll be able to invest larger amounts. If you don't know how to turn $100 into $200 or more, you won't be able to invest $1,000+.

The wonderful part about investing into the online world is there are so many options. For example:


  1. Niche Content Sites (My Bread and Butter.)
  2. PPC (never tried it but a lot of our members have success.)
  3. Buying Sites (not recommend until you know what to look for in a profitable site.)
  4. Flipping Sites
  5. Providing Services (logo design, article writing, coding, and loads more.)
The list can go on and on.

With my experience mainly focusing on Niche Content Sites, I would use the $100 this way:


  1. Research for a profitable Keyword (free)
  2. Buy a keyword rich domain (~$8)
  3. Design a real simple design (free)
  4. Buy 5 articles (~$35)
  5. Link Development (free)
    • Blog comments, directories, free mini-blogs, 4 related link exchanges, and a few other free methods.
  6. Leave it to age like fine cheese. (start over back at step 1)
It cost me around $50 for each project so I would use the $100 to develop two Mini Niche Content Sites. About 2 out of 10 of these sites will be duds so I don't invest anymore money on these project until they start showing some profits. After they start making money, I research more related keywords and invest more money on articles to increase my reach in that niche.

This went on went on way to long... My recommendation is to find what works for you. My method might not work for you. It's just an example to get your brain thinking.

Thankyou, thats by far the best advice in this thread!!
It really gets me thinking about how and where to start, thankyou again.

Im looking into niches right now, its probably the hardest part for me.
 
No problem. I'm glad to help.

Researching niches is one of the toughest parts. if it helps, start out by using:


  1. Keyword Tool
    • Watch the Monthly Search Volume. Higher the better.
  2. Google.com
    • Look at the competition. Lower the better.
Start by looking at niches that your interested in. Examples would be paintball guns, steam floor mop, and butterfly knives. Basically, you can use any topic to get started. But be careful not to start on a tough niche when first starting out. Get some experience on simple niches.

How would you monetize, say, "butterfly knives"? Adsense? Or do you mainly do affiliate stuff?

I recently set up 25 niche websites like the ones you just mentioned. Still working on the rankings though.
 
With monetizing a keyword like that, at the beginning I would focus with adsense even though its just a few cents a day or even more. Seeing that the traffic is probable low. Those few cents get me motivated to get the link development going.

Another option is to have both, I've got a few sites like that but adsense makes more than the affiliate stuff because I'm still learning on pre-selling. Have adsense on all the information pages than have a page, "Online Store" with products that link to the affiliates.

One mistake, not saying you did, with newbies. They just developing sites hoping they will make money but not having the foundation of knowing what works. I think it works better if you develop a site that brings in income and repeat that process while at the same time expanding that process with each new site.
 
these days you need some coin to get in the big time PPC game, but sure you could always start slow. speaking in more general terms about starting a biz with no money.. Can be done for sure.... In fact I started my first business with less than 1k in the bank and a crap load of student loans and started Motive with just a small savings for protection, two used computers and zero money down, did not spend a dime until we made money and when we did the money went right back into the biz. So yes you can start small for sure, but its not easy and difficult things keep most people away :)
