Start a home base business online without spending a lot of money

Are there any ways to start a home base business online without spending a whole lot of money and even no money at all?

Let’s take a look at a few ways to advertise your home business that will cost you a lot of money that most people just don’t have the money to do right up front.


If you are doing pay per click advertising online you will need a lot of money to keep it going especially if you do not know what you are doing. Believe me I know I burned through a lot of money before I figured it out. You will need a constant flow of money to keep the ads going long term. Whether it is ppc on Yahoo, Google, banner ads or any other form of ppc when your money runs out you get no more traffic at all. No traffic no profits. If you are on a budget this way may not be for you. Of course if you are making money with your pay per click campaigns then keep going.

Now if you are buying leads and cold calling for your home business good luck. This is probably the hardest way a build a business. Once again when you run out of money the leads stop right there. Most of the leads you buy don’t even qualify to be a lead or business owner. I have been this route and it is brutal. Most people don’t even remember filling out any form online. They are just surfing the web kicking tires. A total and complete waste of money, time and frustration for you and your business. Very few people actually succeed doing this method.

If you are doing any kind of offline marketing, same thing you will needs lot’s of money to keep it going. Postcard marketing does work if done right. You would need a few thousand dollars up front to start a postcard campaign, so it can get costly right up front, but also profitable. Any other kind of advertising whether it is in classified ads, magazines or any other kind of print publication you still need a constant flow of money to keep it going.

In summary most people who start their own home business are living paycheck to paycheck and don’t have a lot of money for huge ad campaigns although they do work if done right. There are plenty of ways you can advertise your business online without spending any money at all.
