Is very possible starting up a business without capital all you need is your ability of pursuing success.
Affiliate marketing is a business you can venture into without capital and still make good money from it, even more than some businesses started with capital.
Affiliate marketing is the process by which a person earns a commission for marketing another person's products.
All you need to start this business is good communication skill in other to sell the product of the other person and get a commission for doing that.
You can decide to market product of different company or person's at same time by doing this you are sure that everyday someone will buy from one of those product's there by making money every day.
When you become an expert in affiliate marketing you will start making profit every day of your life.

Affiliate marketing will take time to build the audience based on your niche so it's not going to give you money from the day you start and I won't consider it as a business rather a job cause we are just part of promoting someone's product or service not our own.

You can see people say that every successful company started with zero capital but it's not entirely true, they started small with their money or taking loans then once they reached a position the investors were ready to throw in money that took those companies to next level, so starting with $0, is far away from reality.

There are different types of capital besides financial resources. Skills and equipment are also capital that is needed to start a service-oriented business. The bottom line is that you need financial resources to start or engage in any business. Even in affiliate marketing, you need a phone, computer, workspace, and internet subscription to carry out the tasks and these resources are your capital.

Besides affiliate marketing, other platforms connect virtual workers to companies that need their services. I prefer to seek jobs in these online platforms than to engage in affiliate marketing. People who make high commissions are people who can generate high traffic for the company. Affiliates who have more followership on social media or other platforms will find this kind of business profitable.

Affiliate marketing is one of the trends right now, and it is proven profitable if you are a hardworking person. But do you mind the important thing in doing affiliate marketing? You will need an audience or crowd, and notice that most affiliations can be done on social media. It's because there are many people on social media who can easily be attracted to buy something if there's something that caught their eye. Yes, you can affiliate a product and sell it physically, but you will still need to have established buyers or people that can see your products and gain loyal customers.

It's something that is not easy to do. Yes, everything can be possible if you work hard, but of course you should be ready for that hardship before you can feel that you are earning and that you are getting successful. Everything is starting to nothing, but if you have the will, then you will make it possible.

Pursuing success takes you time and also your money and in this regard your data usage at least will go in and in fact in large quantity because you are intentionally pursuing success. If you are already equipped with affiliate marketing skills which of course will cost you training and other expenses, then apart from that, to pursue success will now mean chasing for followership. Pursuing for followership also involves your time, at least the time you perhaps would have used to sleep if you don't have any money generating business to do with that same time. So your time is opportunity forgone for chasing over followership. Thus, remember that at such point of pursuing for traffic for your followers to align with you on the company's business, you also do videos in large quantity on the products on sale to send to followers or prospective followers and those new target group that you intend to bring into your fold or network. So there isn't no business without capital expenditure before you begin to profit from it.

So have you started a successful business with affiliate marketing yet? It sounds easy, but when you start you will see that everything is not as you imagined. But affiliate marketing is also a great environment for people who don't have money but want to try their hand at business. It will be a great experience for you to gain more experience on your path to becoming an entrepreneur.
I'm not saying this is bad, but I would rather work hard and save money to open my own business than join this affiliate marketing model.

For influencers, this is an easy way to make money out of affiliates. Their brand name and reputation is the one that will be trusted by their signees or referrals. But if you're an ordinary guy and try to see your future in here, you should be doing other things as well while you're building your presence through different means like in articles/blogs, vlogs and any other ways you're building your community because trust and influence is what will make you a lot of money out of it.

When starting a business you will face difficult time's, there are people who started small and today they are making it big in affiliate marketing.
Do you think saving up money and starting your own business will grantee a successful business you still need to work hard if you want that business of yours to grow same way you need to work to grow in affiliate marketing.

You really don't need to be an influencer to start affiliate marketing all you need is good communication skill and marketing a good product when you have a good communication skill people will listen to you and buy the product and they will refer there friends that is how you grow.
In affiliate marketing you will surely grow and become successful but you need time to grow.

You are very correct when you start affiliate marketing you will face difficult time's and you must work hard but one thing is sure at the end success.
In every business or anything you do in life you must face difficulty those difficult time's are the experience and they are want grantee your journey to success.

Any commission basis job can make you start a business out of it. With the capital of being a good salesman, you're going to be able to save money out of it as long as you know who are you offering the product. Being a real estate and car agent, this is a good start for someone who's looking to get into the sales world. Everything is being run by sales and if you're a good salesman, for sure that you can sell everything. Most of the real estate and car companies are offering affiliates or commissions to the people that they're going to hire. It may not sound as a business but it actually is because you can be your own boss and make your own marketing strategy to drive sales for the companies and the products that you're selling.

There are also agents that are wise and from the commission that they're going to earn, they split it to someone that will help them refer buyers or customers that are going to avail their products. It's a split share for them and despite not getting the whole percentage of commission, they get sale easily by having a referral and commission to someone who has helped them to drive any sale. Lesser time and effort exerted but with easy money on their end, so it's a win-win for an agent who's got a good strategy in having more sales and not just leads.

Yes I know that but the bigger advantage is with the influencers that have already their own community and can ask them to sign up for them if ever they need that service they're advertising or the products that they endorse with their affiliate links. This is easier for the girly influencers where simps are going to sign them all they long and going to avail products and services where they're going to get a lot of commissions and this isn't a secret to all.

not to be pessimistic but marketing isn't as easy as it sounds, selling one product is already hard if the product value isn't that much.
as far as I know to be successful at marketing you should be famous yourself and have many audience then you can market whatever product there is even the shittiest ones.
if you're just don't have the reputation or fame then its gonna be difficult offering a product but of course you can try maybe you're talented in this field.

so there's a need for a strategy before you can actually try marketing if you want to boost the pace of your success.
as much as good communication skill is helpful to lure people into buying your product, most of people can see the through your intention if you are selling a product that isn't so great so thats another problem here.
finding the right product and building fame is the way. at least thats my 2 cents.

beginning a business without money? That's crazy, especially with affiliate marketing. Unfortunately, it's not free. You pay with your hustle, grind, other money. Every discussion and transaction you pursue costs your most precious asset, time. Right? Consider that you say no upfront cash, but the real cost is your hard work. Can anyone go in and sell? No chance. You must sell passionately and persuade daily. And then it gets fascinating, right?

You're betting on every product you promote. You're betting on market trends, much like gambling. Making money daily? A dream. Even the best gamblers lose, and so will affiliate marketers. The market fluctuates like the ocean, not a rollercoaster. Similar waves will affect your revenue. Take on the challenge, but be realistic. No business guarantees daily or lifetime income

I will not say that it is impossible to earn money from it, it is possible but it is a time-consuming and laborious and long time procedure.
Suppose you are a bachelor and have no household responsibilities. In that case, you can do it as a part-time job, which is not very suitable for a person who has to run a house and support a family because there is no guarantee that your product will sell or it depends on your marketing, getting customers is not that easy.
No matter how good a marketer you are, it is not possible to get customers every day. So if any person wants to do this work to run their home then my answer will be no.

It's not always about monetary investments, one needs to put in a lot of effort and work hard to be able to have better chances of succeeding as an affiliate marketer because it's not an easy job to do. Besides, it's a job and not a business, because you are working to earn money and I believe every job in the world is free as long as you qualify for it.

If you look around, you won't find a lot of affiliate marketers, what do you think is the reason behind that? It is because the success rate is very low while the workload is extremely high which makes people uninterested in it. Suppose you compare affiliate marketing with cryptocurrency trading under the same criteria. In that case, you will see that there is an excess of cryptocurrency traders in the market, and the reason is obvious, they all can get some money out of it if they do it properly, but it's not the case with affiliate marketing.

To make money, you need to spend money. If you are afraid of losing money, you will never have the business experience which you can only obtain by spending money. You can borrow money from the banks and use it as your capital. That’s a bad idea unless you exactly know what you are doing. If you spend the money you own and go bankrupt, you will have the business experience in return. If you borrow money and go bankrupt, now you owe the bank money too.

Start small. Use your own capital. Trial and error. Then go big when you are ready. There is no easy way.

You can't start a business without capital unless you are doing something very new that no one knows about. For example, I don't know if you have heard about this but Bustabit, one of the most popular Bitcoin casino with a huge bankroll started with very few coins. They succeeded because Bitcoin was brand new then and they were also one of the earliest adopters and developers. Right Place Right Time.

You also look very lightly at affiliate marketing. Selling the product is one of the hardest things and every company spends a huge capital to sell the product. You have to be a very popular person or own a very popular website to start and make money via affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing exists because product owners can't sell the product and pays you to help them sell. Sometimes you might need more money to start affiliate marketing compared to starting a business.

Sure it just takes longer and you might die of starvation in the progress.

I wouldn't be so sure. When advertising or offering someone else's product to anyone, it is necessary to have the uniqueness and originality of the product. If you offer cheap cosmetics on every corner, as representatives of such marketing like to do, or vacuum cleaners that have not been in demand for a long time, you need to convince the client that without this product, his whole life will be wasted (sarcasm). That’s why I wouldn't  be so optimistic with thoughts about such a business. And OP, tell me, what’s the difference between working for an “uncle” and doing affiliate business? For me, it's the same.

When getting into affiliate marketing you need to have a good communication skill and you also need to market important products, when you have good communication skill it will help you market the product and by marketing good product those that buy will refer there friends to you that is how you grow in affiliate marketing.

And working for your uncle is different from affiliate marketing in affiliate marketing you are your own boss and you choose who to do business with and you can do business with a lot of business owner.

Yeah it is very obvious that anyone can start their business without any capital and that's also very supportive thing that new era has brought for poor people. Affiliate marketing has made lives of many people and they've started to persue their life in a good manner then before.

What you need for success in a business is hardwork and dedication not capital . Many people will support you if you have a good skill set. This is only an excuse because in this modern era raising a capital is not a problem.

Yes back in the days when people rely on capital before starting up a tangible business that can even bring in capital, as the world is changing so is many other things that can carterput those who prepare their heart to change will move and make way for the self, the afliate market is one of them. What any individual need now is to position itself and follow the world as it move and find the angle that suit your choice of business at the end you will not be Left out.

have you started becoming an affiliate marketer?  if yes.. please give some suggestions but if not.. you better lock this topic.

i was an affiliate marketer for 1 and a half years, i experienced a lot of sorrow at that time, such as erratic commissions and often paid late, since then i stopped being an affiliate marketer, i prefer to create my own business, market it myself and live it from the bottom without having to think about anything else.

for now i don't know whether affiliate programs are getting better or not because i haven't found out about affiliate programs for a long time, so that's what i said at the beginning, if you have the best and most profitable way to become an affiliate marketer then please give other suggestions on this topic.

I understand your point, basically starting up any business at all is difficult till you become known and offer quality services before people can start coming to patronize you despite your location. Normally, Affiliate marketing is not a bad business to venture into but it requires a lot of work and time for you to convince people to patronize a business that you didn't own and sometimes, you may not be familiar with such business but due to the fact that you want to earn an income from it, you spend so much time to learn it and also learn how to relate well with your customers. The most challenges encountered by affiliate marketers is in a case of a bad market or maybe someone made a purchase and later discovers that it is not of good quality as you said of it, in that case you have lost the trust of that person and in a case where anything goes wrong, you will be the principal person to be held accountable.

Before marketing any product as an affiliate marketer you must confirm the quality of the product.
The only way to make it big in affiliate marketing is marketing a good and quality product from there people that use the product will also refer there family and friends to you so in affiliate marketing selling good and quality product is key priority.

Yep yep affiliate marketing doesn't require capital.

Digital affiliate marketing: you don't have to own device and you don't have to purchase internet package.

Offline affiliate marketing: you don't have to dressed well and you don't have to own something luxury.

It was a sarcasm, good luck to become successful in affiliate marketing when you're not popular and you can't flex what you have to convince other people to buy your products...

Before you went into affiliate marketing you saw people making money from it and you decided to go into it and you didn't succeed so you think affiliate marketing is not profitable what a wow.
Before going into affiliate marketing you must have good communication skill and you must be patient also people of this generation wants everything so quick and forget nothing good comes easy you need to start small and grow from there.

Many people have switched to this profession, with the lack of traditional jobs out there. Indeed, this job does not require capital, but marketing a product is not as easy as you might imagine, we also have to compete with many people who have started it even though we already have the skills there. We have to be smart in choosing products that are often consumed by most people, such as milk, baby diapers and the main thing is that we are smart in looking for prices below the average. We don't look at how small the commission we get is, even though the results are small, we will get them regularly.

I consider it more on profession and not a business because you are relying on your skills to find an affiliate in able to earn. It’s a job since your earnings is based on your performance.

The one you are promoting is the business while you offering a service to improve the business that’s why you don’t use capital but rather work force in able to earn.

I’m doing this affiliate marketing on tiktok since it gives 10% or more commission to the total sales without the need to purchased the product. I usually earn good amount by just creating content with bag attached to my post.

Affiliate marketing is'nt a business that requires capital to start rather it's an established business own by an individual,firm etc that's needs a person to advertise a product.In affiliate marketing an influencer/affiliate get his/her commission from advertising the product of a company or an individual.And as an affiliate marketer you need to be well equipped when it comes to communication,an affiliate marketer must be able to convince a customer to purchase the product,and people get to purchase the product you sell and also introduce to their friends when they find out how effective the product was.Op from what you said it sounds impossible for a person to start up a business without capital, pursing success is also part of starting a business 100% sure but the capital to start up a business must be there otherwise I don't it's possible.

Yes, you can start a business with no money. You just need to be strategic and patient in your approach. Before you dive into the startup process, here are a few things you should do first.

Keep your job 

Don’t get carried away by your business idea and immediately quit your job to start a sole proprietorship. Be realistic about your life and willing to compromise in other areas. You can run the business in your spare time, on weekends, holidays, or after work. 

Your job will ensure your livelihood isn’t relying on the success of your business. Besides, you can save your business’s profits to fund costs that might arise as the business grows. Keep doing what you’ve been doing for a living with the aim of working hard and smart on your business. You can decide to leave your job when the startup can pay you.
Analyze what you need to run your business, and what the gaps are in your own abilities. Then, all you need is an internet connection to start searching for small business resources. 

Whether you need to fully outline your business structure, write a business plan, create a marketing plan, research licenses and permits, or even register your business—there’s likely a free template, tool, or article out there for you to check out. 

You can also use free trials for paid business tools. This will give you an idea of the overall functionality and help you determine if it’s worth eventually investing in. 

With limited monetary resources to start a business, you can invest your time wisely by forging the right networks. Get to interact with businesspeople in your respective industry. You’ll learn a lot from entrepreneurs on the same journey as you. 

If it’s a unique business, still network with other entrepreneurs. Other people have been down a similar road before. You can learn what it takes to run a successful startup.
Having cash at hand isn't the first step in starting  up  a business. 
In my opinion, the first  thing is to identify  the business idea, or product, and carry out a market research,  that is, how the market behaves around the kind of product you offer, or the niche you're getting  into.
Another critical aspect of starting a business with no money is spreading the word about your product/service to your customers. You obviously don’t want to invest a ridiculous amount of money in your marketing efforts. So, it’s best to focus on organic options as part of your initial marketing strategy. 

Whether you’re selling a product or service, testing the idea with no cost or the least cost possible is advisable. A minimum viable product (MVP) is a new product with core features to test its viability in the market. The purpose of an MVP is to see the early customers’ experience with the product and use the feedback in further developments.

One way can be conducting a crowdfunding campaign. If they’re interested in investing after using the product/service, then that’s a good indication that the business idea is worth pursuing. Even if you don’t get the funding, their feedback will guide you on which areas to improve.

Tap into the power of social media. You can create a post, page, or short video about your product/service, share it on social platforms, and see how many people are interested. Their interaction, such as preorders, comments, views, shares, or reactions, will indicate something about your idea.

You can create a website for your product/service and check website metrics. Use low-cost or free websites and web analytics tools available.

It is too rash to say that the affiliate program is a business program without capital you are wrong OP, because in fact the tone needs to have a cellphone or laptop, internet network time, knowledge and energy to do it, talking about capital is not just money, there are so many other classifications that can be calculated as capital as I said, so doing any business without capital is nonsense if you think realistically correctly and not fixated only money, money and money as initial capital.

You have to admit this if you have the same mindset about capital as me, just open your mind and think about what capital really is and how it can be a very valuable starting capital in running a business even if it uses a little money as additional capital.

I have been doing it as an affiliate for the last few years, I joined the TikTok affiliate and Shopee affiliate and to be honest the results I get are quite good every week, it can help me earn side income.

To become an affiliate who earns a stable income, the key is not to be lazy, there are times when boredom appears, but rest assured, in doing anything, patience is really needed, especially now that it is difficult to earn money, so everyone must have an income of more than 2 or more 3 income, inflation occurs every year, we have to rise.

People has phone and they buy data just to watch videos online, videos that will make them laugh, sad, excited etc.
So when talking about using capital to start up a business you don't have to mention what people do as Daly activity like buying data for internet connection or having a phone this things are what you already have you are just using it to making money.

When you talk about capital in starting up a business even a common man will know you are talking about money, in business capital means money.

I may have to learn how to be an affiliate marketer just as you mentioned because I really need the source of income and it's going to be more interesting and it would look like I never have to work because the online world is somewhere I visit often and have earned sometimes from being productively engaged with it.

However, one may need to spend money, time, data, to get the best from doing any new business and although it forms the capital needed in total, the patience, tolerance and good management capabilities one possesses, will ensure one succeeds where others fail.

Do you think you can start your own affiliate marketing without any fund? How do you even intend to get things done without spending money? You will need to get a system even though you think you don't need it, it could be an important tools to a successful affiliate marketing. Funds is also need to speed up things. Every affiliate marking must have a product to sell which is what keep users to keep patronizing and buying the products while you get paid for referrals. Setting up your own affiliate marketing strategies and portfolio need money so there is now way you want to start a business or something new that you don't need funds to commence that.

Affiliatw marketing needs excellent advertisements in order to become successful. Do you think without advertisements, you can get your product known to people? You will have to pay for those ad space at some point or even build a website, and that itself cost money, too. Somewhere along the way, you will be needing to use some money to make progress in affiliate marketing, and being cheap about it won't let you go anywhere.

It's also worth noting that it takes time to build it. Your downtime not making money is actually costing you money as well, as you need to pay for your necessities before your product pays off.

This is absolutely true, but just like with other businesses, It's not easy at first because you need to build your channel and you need to have huge engagement from other socials to gain clients and customers, sometimes you need to spend monetary value to boost your engagement to your post and for it to be delivered or reach the newsfeed of different people. It can actually serves as one of our passive income because all you need to do is to market and to advertise the product or services that you offered then you will gain a commission for every purchases and sometimes the company gives a huge commission like 17-20%. Btw, I do affiliate marketing and the way I advertise my products is by posting videos of a product while unboxing it and gives a good feedback, you need to give an effort to your video so it will caught prospect clients attention.

I don't think there is any business that one can start without any capital being involved. Which drives me to correct the fact that Affiliate Marketing is an online skill and not a business. Unlike any other skill it takes time to learn and practice before one can be successful in it. The most important thing here is learning with the resources. I believe if someone wants to be an affiliate marketer he needs to buy or search for the right learning materials before he can understand how it works completely. And these process takes quite some time but if one has successfully passed this stage of course there will be greener pastures ahead of them.

Also, i want to add that when it comes to affiliate marketing people spend money on spreading ADs on social media to reach a large number of people. So, one way or another there is still some little investment or capital being putting. Although at the beginning stage creating ADs is not really necessary.

You sound like a passionate affiliate marketer but sorry assuming in your definition of a business, affiliate marketing falls into it, then I tell you that you need money. You need a device to connect to the Internet. If you don't have that device you need to buy one. After you have bought the device to become a professional affiliate marketer, you Internet connection to market whatever product or service it is you have and that costs money too as you will need to pay for data subscription. Another need you may have is for you product to gain visibility and that requires sponsored posts on social media and that requires money too to pay the fees. As you can already see , you cannot start any business without capital.

Affiliate marketers may even need to learn a few more things on affiliate marketing from a paid course outside what they already know as a way to increase their success, and this requires money. So, affiliate marketing is not really a business that does not require capital.
If you are able to start any business without capital it will be difficult for that business to keep going without capital, you were able to get the business going, but to also grow the business, capital is an essential requirement.

Well that's right, I think it's too easy to conclude that anyone can achieve success by making a lot of money if in the early stages they don't sacrifice money at all first, I'm not saying that it's impossible but what is certain is that if we talk about success in any field then obviously we can't or have difficulty if it doesn't involve money at all as capital besides dedication spending time and energy. Ok yes maybe you are smart enough to think of building plans and strategies but however money will always be involved at least in small amounts. As you pointed out that there is a possibility for them to study or seek lessons in some places that require them to spend money to get the knowledge.

If we are just talking about the field that we are in which is affiliate then yes maybe at first glance we think that it only requires dedication of time and mind but doesn't it require an unusual strategy to generate more audience who are interested in what you are marketing? of course, like in terms of advertising where usually big companies promote their products on social media by using advertisements because advertisements can make it easier for you to get consumers and obviously you need some money to pay for the advertisement so that you can reach more people through services which means doesn't it require money? of course.

I agree with you, of course everyone who wants to run a business or any program still needs capital to run it well, because without capital it is certainly impossible for a program to run well and if someone says it doesn't need capital or whatever, I think they have lied to those who want to start a program like the one you mentioned, starting a business with little capital. I think this will help us to be able to monitor it easily because we have just started it and after we can run the business well then we can increase capital so that we can get even greater profits from the business we are running.

Capital can be categorized into several types, such as cash and non cash capital, enthusiasm for running a business, basic knowledge and skills. I agree that if you want to get involved in any business you need capital, affiliate marketing business also requires capital such as skills and basic knowledge even though it doesn't depend too much on financial sources. Another capital needed to run this business is the ability to influence other people in making purchasing decisions regarding a product or service being promoted. This business also requires patience and hard work so that the products offered can be successfully accepted by consumers and have broader knowledge or understanding of the products or services offered.

You are wrong, no business can be started without capital, the right thing is to start a business with minimal capital, for example by using the equipment you already have without having to buy a new one.
Affiliate marketing still requires capital, for example an internet connection or a website that has high traffic or if you use social media then you have to have a lot of followers and to get followers you have to take the time to build your account well, and actually affiliate marketing is not easy.
Theories for becoming a successful affiliate marketer are scattered on Google, but the results for each person are different, and becoming an expert in affiliate marketing takes time.

I beg to disagree

If you are promoting someone’s project, where would you do it? Would you do it online or physically? If you are doing it online you need to have a device. That’s money or capital already. If you are going to promote it on public places then traveling towards that place already requires money.

Businesses need money but the key here is to have the least amount of capital possible for the maximum profit.

I want to ask you, are you into one? The reason why I'm asking that affiliate and digital marketing you see people discuss every day, there are more into it and it's not everything especially the success stories you see when you venture inti it, you will mostly likely settle for more or less because if indeed it's a booming place, many people would be there.

Another thing that makes one a successful affiliate digital marketing is the platform favour's your place of jurisdictions, if you are coming from a place that are not allowed to use the platform, you wouldn't be able to have access like others.


It's not all business you can run through a affiliated marketing, for instance you have passion into selling consumable products but you want to start but then the platform only sells books, if you don't have the skill to market books you wouldn't be able to sell anyone.

If you have a business and you don't have the funds to make one, apply for Small and medium enterprises and many venture capitals for money, if your project/business is solid you will go home with a paycheck.

But you have to have something that can help you market it, such as stationery, computers, and others. You may not need to spend any money to get started, but these are the tools you must have before you start. If you try affiliate marketing offline, you need a vehicle to travel and offer it to others.
If you mean by capital that you don't need to spend money, what you say is right. Someone can even create a free site like a blog to market their products online.
You can also tell other people about your product so they want to buy and use the product.

I agree with you, even the skills that we have are considered capital in my opinion, if we don't have any skills at all it can be said without capital, also the same is the case financially. Of course, starting a business with no capital is not right, but the right thing is with minimal capital. There are some people who often say reckless capital, maybe they are a group of people who start a business but without adequate skills and finances so they can say reckless capital. Of course, marketing also requires capital even with an internet connection because it is a small capital not without capital.

Everything requires capital, initial capital as I said with the skills you have and must be honed again as well as what you said by buying a new property that is more adequate or with something else.

Not like that, if you focus on money you will see how you can't afford it, even though you already have it, even though everyone doesn't have the quality of internet and simple facilities that you mentioned in your daily activities.
It can be said that it is also capital and you already have it, don't omit the little things and focus on money alone, if only focused on money they will think being an affiliate is difficult too because to increase insight into the marketing we do in fact require money to do marketing.

If someone realizes that capital is not just about money and he already has it, it is likely that psychologically if the human being has a desire, he will definitely do it. try to change the way you think and value things in your life, sir, to be more valuable and be able to start everything even though you don't have a lot of money.

Too bad, pursuing success doesn't pay the bill and it doesn't pay the manpower and necessary supplies that you're going to need when you build a business, you're definitely going to need some kind of monetary support to start a business, I don't believe that anyone can start a business at this day and age without a capital and any person that says so will not be welcome to me with an open arms because the one thing that comes to my mind when it comes to this kind of thing is Ponzi schemes, you don't need a capital in a Ponzi scheme since you're selling something that doesn't exist which is ungodly returns to your investors.

Affiliate marketing will not be recommended as a business but as a promotion or just an advertisement, and even with that, you can’t jump in without knowledge, a phone, a laptop, and Wi-Fi. Because it is usually based on online practice, if you don’t have those items, you can’t start the job until you are able to purchase all of them. The money you will use to have all of those items is called what? If you say you can start without a capital.
 
Furthermore, if you don’t know the real definition of business, let me break it down for you. Business can be defined in a simple term as a scheme or process in which an individual, a group, or an organisation are capable of investing or grinding up their money to produce a good or to render a service in order to gain a profit. 
 
If I am not mistaken, this definition doesn’t explain business as a source of advertising but as a source of investment. So before you call something a business, you have to confirm first if it is a job or business, but advertisements simply mean helping someone to promote their goods, for which you will be paid for the service you render, and that payment service is the process of paying your employee, so affiliate marketing simply means a job of promoting and advertisement, not a business. 

There's no way a person can starting a business without a capital this is what they call impossibility can never be possible. Because money is used to make money there's no any way that you're going to make money without spending the money first, you most have to invest in yourself first before people's can invest in you. Even this affiliate market you're stated about I don't think you can start it without include some of amount of money, in this life we're living in now nothing good come easy, you most have to make uses of yourself before begin earning online business and even that one is also part of capital.
But to be honest this affiliate market it has helped a lot of people's especially those that graduate and there's no government job for them, with this affiliate market many of youths are survive, since is just legitimate online business that you can only stay at your home or any where the person like and earning a lot of money with peace of mind.

Affiliate marketing indeed is an option but there will still be a capital with the device you will be using in order to make a sale. What's on my mind is consider providing a service to other people which will allow you to earn money and make it as your capital to venture different businesses. Rather than thinking of wht business won't require you capital, think more of why it is needed. No business succeeds without suffering from any failure. On those failures, your capital will allow you to continue or lengthen its existence and of course for improvement in the future. If you really want no capital at al then choose to be an employee 'coz there's nothing wrong being one. If you're really into business and entrepreneurship, it could be made possible afterwards. If business is that easy, then many business owners should be rich by now and that more people will also do the same thing

  One of the ways that business can be done without capital is affiliate marketing. In this aspect, the things you need are your time and using of your brain to talk and convince your customers to buy the product.
Capital is not necessary in this kind of business, you have the products then, describe it so as to influence buyers to buy it. In this aspect of the business, your gains depends on how you work hard.

  Also, you can start a business without a capital by staying in between the seller and the buyer while the negotiations move on.
  Some time even the dealers of land and building behave like that. They will go in search of buyers based on a specific percentage.

Not only affiliate marketing but any service oriented business where you are providing services are a business without capital like freelancing for projects like web designing, SEO/SEM, Affiliate or any form of digital marketing but one should remember here there is no capital invested apart from any charges or fee you have incurred while learning these skill but your experience and time you have spent to master it is the capital here.

It is very possible to build a business without capital by someone who has special skills in this digital era. There are many services you can offer - affiliates may be one of them, but there are many others that can also be profitable rather than just one.

I can imagine YouTubers or content creators as those who earn income with or without capital. Affiliates are one of them that is also profitable - you can even become a dropshipper.

Hmm, I'm not so sure about it... Affiliate marketing is a concept which works more or less when you have money to invest in advertisement, spamming your affiliate links on different websites and niches of the internet. I don't think it's a great kind of business to venture into, because it's risky, as the competition for referrals is huge, so you might end not seeing any returns after all, despite having spent a lot of money and also time on this endeavour.

If you work on this area, but instead of hunting referrals you work with commissions over sales made, it's another complicated deal, because you have to be highly influential over a large public in order to make their purchases revert in profit for you. And to be influential, you have to invest money, although in the end there are serious chances the profit made won't be enough to cover the investment made on ads.

I'm not saying this concept doesn't work. I just think it's not going to work for most people here who are probably by themselves in this life trying to make some money without having to involve the cooperation of other people in the process.

Nowadays, if we have the desire, anything can be done, if we don't have capital, we have to be able to read opportunities and also maintain relationships. With relationships, friends will help with creative ideas so that like now, if you can join a forum with just an ordinary smartphone, you will get unlimited profits, currently almost all media platforms are paid at high prices in dollars, which for basic capital we can have an internet connection to go online, one day and one hour will also make a profit but it must be continuous every day. After getting these profits, use the capital to expand other businesses.

There’s a lot of options now where you can start doing side hustle or business without having any capital as long as you have the tools to start with like for instance the online services which is the current trend. Virtual assistant support can also be consider as your business where you can start by just simply offering services based on your niche. Affiliate market can also be consider, all you have to do is to build your profit and have a client where they can trust you. In crypto as well, being a bounty hunter can be consider as your business especially if you are just doing this as your extra source of income.

The age of the internet made it cheaper than ever to get your business idea out to the whole world with the most basic of computers. You will likely need to raise some small amount of starting capital at the beginning but it depends on your business venture, as you can often get very creative - like drop shipping on ebay or creating logos on fiverr. Competition is fierce online though, so you have to be willing to compete against people who may earn 10% of your wage in a developed economy, unless you can gain the edge with a unique selling point. The cost of living difference around the world can be huge, so creating an established and independent business with a solid reputation is the distinguishing factor you need.

If you are not very good in communicating with people or you are an introvert one, virtual assistant job is indeed one of the options that you can apply for over the net. You only need net, time and some skills to get paid. What I don't like with affiliate marketing is if you can't get people to buy the products or you can't recruit anyone, would be hard to earn money from this route.

Another one is selling your services like if you are a programmer, a researcher or any skills that you think someone is in need. In today's set-up, a lot of businesses find its way to hire people remotely. This is how most of them survived during pandemic period.

Affiliate marketing or that referral or suggesting products and services or whatever you could possibly deal with might really that sound too easy but on the time that you would really be finding yourself
to be on such situation then this is something that a very hard thing for you to deal up with. Getting your first referral would be that so daman hard. Yes, it could really be giving out that kind
opportunity on making money without having that capital but the hard work that you would really be putting up will really be something that you should be considering.
Not all would really be that good when it comes to this.

For those who do have that kind of perseverance and that kind of dedication then you could really be able to deal up with. Then it would really be that an option
for you whether you would proceed further or not.

Without capital, all you can do is work for someone and that's what the affiliate marketing is about. Sure you can do that and make a lot of money but it doesn't comes over night and it's not really suitable for everyone cause you need to be influencing people to buy the products you sell to really get your commission. I would suggest getting a salary is a lot better than working based on commision cause it doesn't guarantee minimum pay so it add extra pressure than being convenient.

I abandoned that belief long ago. My apprehension regarding affiliate marketing lies in Google's dominance over SEO, manipulating algorithms at will. Through insights gained from this forum, I've realized that anyone can thrive in internet business without solely promoting others' products; instead, fostering a community around your own offerings. That is the key.

Many people are like that, they become slaves who are ordered to do things to get money, and there are people who survive in this situation. Maybe this is the same as working, but different from starting your own business. and I don't mind this because I think this is a process, of course I think everyone has the desire to be able to do business for people who are thinking about their future. When they want to have their own business but don't have the capital, they can take steps to work first.

by working they can make money, this is where money management is needed, if they can manage their finances well of course they can save it. By saving the money they earn from working they can collect it and use it to start a business that they really want. After all, no business can be done without capital, I think all businesses that are started need capital.

Even something as simple as affiliate marketing requires you to have some capital, nothing big but something like probably a website would be great and most of them do have that. Aside from that, its called affiliate "marketing" which means that you do end up spending some money on it and you should be considering that as a possibility.

I am not saying that its not going to be possible to make it zero dollars, if you really want to you can try but I am pretty sure that if you end up with zero dollars at the start then you are not going to make much and you should definitely spend every dime you make back to business to have some decent capital.

No business strives well without capital.  Even in affiliate marketing, you still need a device to promote whatever business you are marketing. And that mobile device or computer you are using serves as a startup capital for you. Businesses with low capital people venture into does not make them sole owners of such businesses, rather they keep working for other people while they themselves who do most of the work get only a few penny as commission. Only those who have high demanding skills can boast of high income even with the low startup capital.

No business is easy to startup, they all demand hardwork to see good results. It is better to work for others while putting plans in place to break out and be your own boss instead of staying idle praying for a miracle.

People should not start businesses if they don't have capital. An exception, I'd say, is when a potential entrepreneur participates in some sort of program that gives financial and educational support to prospective businesses, so if you can get some sort of grant (but, crucially, NOT a loan), it can be a good idea.
Affiliate marketing isn't the same as starting your own business. It's often a scam, a pyramid, and a way of spreading it further by recruiting the people you know into it. Of course, there are legit businesses that do affiliate marketing, and it can be a legit strategy, but one has to be very careful with it.

You are right, however, it isn't a necessity because one can do it without having a website but as you said, it is better if one manages to create a website for their affiliate work and then promote that website through social media.

Although a website isn't a necessity, I believe one will at least have to create social media pages and then spend some money to promote them using paid ads so that they can reach their target audience because it's not easy to find customers this way. You can't keep messaging everyone you see or post in every group and hope that you might get a customer.

This is the biggest challenge for an affiliate marketer, they will have a hard time finding people who would use their link in the initial stage.

Becoming an affiliate means being a mouthpiece between producers and consumers. We offer other parties' products, and get the difference if they are successfully sold. And if we are really good at public speaking, humble towards everyone and active on social media and have a lot of followers... then becoming an affiliate can bring benefits to you every day. Where you can take advantage of your popularity on social media to make a profit by selling products...even if they are other people's products. Because in the current digital era, where most people are moving, those who initially shopped in concrete or traditional markets are now moving to abstract markets. and along with this, this can make the affiliate marketing business quite popular and many people are involved in it. However, it should be noted that this kind of business is very susceptible to fraud.

having a social media presence with huge followers will get anyone to success. that's all he needs but it also requires great content which a person has to really be great at something. some influencers don't just do affiliate marketing but also have sponsors already paying them every month and the only capital they did in the past is investing in content that people would love.

there's always capital. even the fisherman who's more skilled in catching first means he does have capital and the fishes are his products to sell.

Communication skill is required to do such business. The better the communication skill is, the more useful one is for this business. Every business needs communication skills but in this business without capital, if there is no communication skill with people, sales will not increase. And as far as I know, sales in this business will not increase.  Commission depends on. Also you need to have basic business idea. Ability to attract customers.

Yes buddy I am aware of affiliate marketing that needs no investment and returns good profit to the user in the form of commission but yes if you run ads by investing your little amount you can generate even more profit from affiliate marketing.... One of my friend makes 400$ per month from affiliate marketing without investing any money. You can generate even more and more money if you are an influencer you can generate many affiliate sales using your social plugins.

Along with this, you can also start dropshipping as a business and this also doesn't need your single investment... I have been doing this as well i have 1.5 years of experience in dropshipping but for now, I have to quit this money-making technique due to some reasons but I also plan to restart it again in the coming future InshaAllah. Until then I am just waiting for the right time to happen the right things InshaAllah.

I've been involved in a business like that, but it's very boring... I regularly post on social media, send messages to everyone but don't respond at all... for the first week maybe I can still wait patiently for people to respond to the items I send offers, in the week secondly, I was still able to remain patient, because even though no one bought the product I was offering, at least someone responded... But in the third week, I couldn't hold my patience any longer, being kind and friendly to anyone who only made an offer but didn't do it. the purchase really made me feel annoyed. so I feel that this is not a suitable job for me, and I have to look for another business or job.

but for those of you who like interacting with lots of people on social media and have quite a lot of followers, maybe this is a business that is suitable for you. Moreover, nowadays, abstract markets are increasingly popular and many people shop there, and if you are skilled enough in offering a product, perhaps becoming an affiliate can give you profits in the long run. But you have to be serious, don't get bored quickly like me. haha

Yes, You are right as one should have good communication skills so that one can make/generate good sales in this field as we know that in this field as our each word matters to generate sales as our words work like an ad so the adoption of good words is very important as if the buyer will notice or feel your used words effective so then the chances of getting big sales will be increase.

There is a famous saying in our country that a marketer/shopkeeper should have good skills so that he can generate sales even if the selling chances of that item are less. This is why I also believe that one should focus on learning his/her communication skills before entering in the marker. Many of the people get flop in their new business because they don't have good communication skills.

in any kind of business that you want to venture into neither a cryptocurrency business or a business that have to do with the offline I think that you really need a capital to establish the business before the business will you flourish so I am against the statement that you can start a business without a capital so from my own perspective and they understanding of business you must to know the foundation or the rudiment of business before you set up a business and there is not business that stand today without a capital to kick off The Business

It doesn't quite work like that. There's only so many people that can do that before whole affiliate business gets saturated by people that are trying to push their links to each other. For example Temu is a recent example how desperate the affiliates are. You can basically do this succefully as a job if you already happen to be famous influencer, and even then you are targeted for taxes, so if you happen to be one, remember to do accurate reports early from your incentives, so you don't have to pay extra as maximum penalties later.

Most jobs you can't just start without any capital. You either need to capitalize your unique talents, or just pay for equipment etc. Or just work for someone and get paid so you have some starting funds for what ever your new business is going to be.

Affiliate marketing is good but it still takes time to build your network and get people to buy from you the truth is capital is my key to any successful business

That's right all along,ordinarily,you'll find it difficult to build an active fanbase or Audience and you'll require some certain skills that'll enable you to develop and converse properly to customers.Normally you would require skills,business options and several other strategic plans together with marketing tactics for a successful business build.

But there's actually what they call DROPSHIPPING these days and i mean that's what most people used to build a strong marketing network,specifically using/exercising the rights tools for promotion and the business upgrade.It's just you advertising someone's else's product,adding your profit to the actual price and whenever you get an order,you act as required and that's it.And thats how some persons have been able to capitalize for thier business initially.

So starting a business without capital truly exists and its that simple.Your're starting a business without capital works when you utilize your unique talents,efforts and your ability to meet up several requirements.

You are right in here. While affiliate marketing becomes a trend right now, but we all know that succeeding in it is not as easy like everyone is expecting to. You can’t attract interested buyers to patronize your items if you weren’t known in the first place, so you have to establish your own name at first so that once it becomes famous, people will easily put their trust on you, and bite whatever interesting offers you have.

Affiliate marketing requires more hardwork and determination so you will end up successful with your goal. And the fact that a lot of people are doing like this, so you need to become more competitive as well and think of special ways on how to attract people so they will end up buying your offers. This may be hard and tiring at first, but I think the amount of profits are certainly worth the time and efforts.

Yes. That's exactly what you said and it's quite relevant. Indeed, for a decent profit too, but for when the competition is quite tight, at this time only for pioneers at the beginning who are always at the forefront with a record of being required to be online and be ranked at the top.

This is closely related to making people interested in coming and buying the products we promote, but one thing that is difficult for many people to do is to be consistent because Building a reputation, trust is the main key in affiliate marketing if you just follow along, I think it only costs time.

its always capital isn't it, affiliate marketing only works if we can build a brand to our name making us have good reputation such as those influencers and celebrities, they got endorsement in the first place because they have good reputation and fame, other than that is building our own community through social media then we can leverage the followers or viewers for the sake of advertisement and affiliate marketing.
for people that just doesn't cut it to work for that kind of activity like just don't have the ability to get famous or building community the best way is always having capital and ideas before hand.
starting business from the very bottom building the brand name by spending capital as well as building product MVP using the capital as well.
even though a business without capital exist such as affiliate marketing there's always something required to compensate for the lack of capital, i don't believe its gonna be just easy to do too.

Becoming an affiliate or becoming a reseller is something that is not easy to do, because even though we can start without capital, it takes us, in my opinion, longer time to get customers, unless we are someone famous or let's say an influencer, maybe it's easier because we already have the main capital, namely followers.
Meanwhile, if we have to start from 0 (we are not an influencer) then it will be more difficult to do, because we have to really move from the bottom without having the privileges I mentioned at the beginning.
Spending capital might help us more, but we still have to have dedication and hard work so that our products are known to many people. Creating promotions and the like are important steps that we have to take and don't forget that we shouldn't just give up, because the process we will go through is not an easy one.

Well, if we talk about building a business without capital, then there are many ways. However, it is not easy, even for affiliate marketing. However, building connections and markets is also very necessary. There are many people who try to do affiliate marketing and become successful, but the journey they go through is not easy. Actually, there are many things we can do to start a business without capital, but the level of difficulty sometimes makes people lazy. However, nowadays almost all businesses have their own path, with capital or without capital, but it all depends on the individual person who wants to start it.

What if the girl influencer also sells girl products? I don't think a man will avail it lol even though they like that streamer so much, same goes if the streamer is a man and the audience are women. It's already a different story if they buy for their partners, siblings, friends... Apart from their own community, videos of influencers can easily go viral and other people can see them or interact on the links that they are posting.

This is the dream of those who want to sell something but we need to take it easy because being one is like winning in a lottery. Many have tried and do their best but they still ended up being a failure. We can only try other opportunities out there and maybe there is that one that will click on us.

You can only be successful with affiliate marketing if you invest in yourself first, making a lot of exposures in the social media so that you can start communicating to the people and build their trust on you. That way, it will be easier then for you to promote your products to the mass since you know already you have a lot of viewers that will gladly trust you based on your reviews on the products.

It’s not really true that this is a free capital investment, of course your capital is yourself that’s why you have to establish trust and positive relationship from the audience so that it will be easier for you to make commissions out from the items you are promoting or selling to them.

Men you need to work a lot with that before you can get a community that will sign up your link shared so for that to happen then I guess you need to step up something and shared something valuable to your audience so that they would follow your tracks. Since if you just randomly shared everything without giving any satisfaction to people then provably they will come to sign up one time because maybe they are curious then leave you and will not sign up again since you didn't do something in return to them. If you really want to succeed on this then became an influencer since from that for sure you will got a lot of people following you and they could always see what's are the new things you are promoting.

Becoming popular in social media can happen over night or never at all and we are not really in control of the fame part, there are many failed youtubers/ content creators even though they deserve million subs for their talent still didn;t get popular. And this will take time for sure and nothing can generate profit from day 1 and it's lot difficult with very little success rate.

affiliate marketing also requires capital, because you need to market your affiliate link to many people, whether it's from your social media, broadcast messages, etc., and it requires money because you need to buy an internet package or pay for a post boost so that it is seen by more people. , or various other things. trust me, affiliate marketing is not as easy as you imagine because we can't just rely on our communication skills, we also need online skills to be able to get a lot of money from it and that requires capital.

Well I don't think you perfectly understand what successful affiliate marketing is all about. Let me remind you that affiliate marketing thrives online than offline and there are practical knowledge you need to know before even starting into it. Most of these secrets to successful affiliate marketing aren't free at all, although it can be obtained at a cheaper price.

You surely need to design your sales funnel to  channel your leads  and  prospects effectively while using the best marketing tools to keep track of purchases. These costs money to acquire unless you're tech savvy which reduces the costs but not eliminate it totally.

In affiliate marketing, you need your goods or services gets to a wider audience and that its achieved by running ads across many social media platforms channeling leads to your site. Funds are needed to run ads, not leaving aside your personal commitment and hardwork before your ads starts converting. Also periodic trauma you've to face when your account is banned without justification and possibly you've paid people to boost those pages for you.

infact, nothing is free and whoever says you can start a business without investing a dime is a big liar unless you've the intention of gathering investors to support your dreams.

It's not as easy as you make it sound because just like any other field, not everyone who ventures into affiliate marketing can gain success in it if it was this easy to earn money without making any investment, everyone who has no capital would have been doing the same thing but because it's not that easy, you won't find a lot of affiliate marketers around you.

One needs a lot of knowledge and understanding about the industry they are going to get into along with skills and knowledge about marketing tactics and practices because you can only get people to buy the products if you can manage to convince them, and most people can't do that. Another big challenge is reaching out to relevant people which isn't easy either.

You can't create fame in one day, it can happen instantly without prior struggle, except for artists who are already famous through social media. Because there are also content creators via YouTube who are successful, although not so many because if we count the ones who are not successful, there are also a lot of them at the moment. So that everyone can make a small conclusion that achieving success or fame through anything always requires a long process and everyone must be able to go through it well enough if they want something beautiful in their future.

In my environment there are many people who have switched from creating content on YouTube to investing and trading in the market which can give them profits even though these profits are not available in the near future. Because currently unofficial content creators have been defeated by the presence of new, simpler ways of creating content so that the things they create are no longer more interesting for many people to watch. Except that the channel is quite official in providing information through the content they create every day.

Business is the sale or purchase of goods or services for the purpose of profit, making use of them through the production and distribution of those goods or services to meet material and immaterial needs and all related legitimate risky and continuous activities are known as business.

Analyzing the definition above does not include affiliate marketing as a business. But affiliate marketing can be chosen as a job as a means of earning money without capital. However in the current age of information technology expansion, even if you want to do affiliate marketing it is necessary to provide some minimum capital. otherwise it becomes a challenging thing to achieve success in affiliate marketing.

As much as a lot of people have been successful in affiliate marketing, but I also believe that there are also tons of people who had never made it to succeed. Simply because their time and efforts are not enough to make it work. Even if we say it’s a free capital investment or I’d rather call it a side job, still it should be given high  focus and determination in order to build connections and do marketing to the people. It’s really not easy as it is, that’s why the profits are big and exceptional.

I agree with you, of course, even though there are a lot of people right now who can become famous by taking advantage of technological developments such as creating content and uploading it via YouTube, it won't be as easy as you think, indeed I also have friends who think about creating content that is currently popular. and they think that by creating content and then publishing it they can immediately make them famous, unfortunately it's not that easy. Of course there is a process that must be gone through, and to create content of course capital is needed such as tools which must be adequate.

Incidents like that still rarely happen, because only certain people really understand investment, most people chase success quickly, therefore many of them want to become YouTubers by creating content, sometimes the content they create is not very useful.

Well you are right affiliate marketing is a good way to earn, but you need to be more skillful because you need to be trusted by the person you work with. It needs time and it needs more effort because people will not directly trust you it needs skills on communication. And this process of earning will not make you a big profit because people now a days is always looking for a low price product.

I agreed about this all with affiliate market has never been easy and solid for all we have lowest ever success rate because its need unique ideas and good patience which is not easy with both parties are also needed to be solid and trustable because we are having good history of the scams about this which are also hurting many and with things like these mostly peoples never try to jump into this way.
No doubt this is free capital with having no good success rate because this is one of the toughest job for me as I watch many peoples those jumps in, but they are having not ideal end of their journey but still few are doing good and enjoy which is also good but still we have to accept this is not for all with creativity and connections are also important.

While you may not need money to start affiliate marketing, you should know that it requires a lot of work. There’s already competition which you need to beat because there many affiliates out there market the same product or service as you are. The work is in you differentiating your self and attracting an audience which you will definitely have to build their trust. So unless you’re a resilient person, you may want to think twice.

In my opinion, it is impossible to run a business without having to spend any capital, affiliate marketing also requires capital to be able to promote an item that we have and I agree with you that this is not easy to do, of course we have to try as hard as possible and also have to be able to compete with them. who have started it first, with the hard work we do and also have to be patient with each process in order to achieve satisfactory results for ourselves.

Technological developments make everything easier and even starting this kind of business will be a little easier if we have good marketing skills. Increasing competition forces people to fight harder because otherwise other people will take the opportunity and now there are many business models like this available on social media platforms that not many people know about so only a few people have tried them.

Marketing skills are really needed and now we just need to explore our own abilities to continue trying our luck in this sector. There are many people who might be successful in a system like that without spending capital, but not everyone can succeed if they don't have skills in that field.

Competition in product marketing nowadays is so big because almost many people do the same thing. But if we have the ability then competition is a stepping stone for us to develop. Doing work like this is unlimited and we can market several products to sell and the more products we successfully sell, the greater the profit we will get.

being a content creator i think is kinda difficult and tough job i know very well that majority of content creator are just making pocket change leveraging their unstable viewer to be famous you need to have unique point that can sell your content, even then people gonna get bored at some point, there's reason why most established content creator trying to create stunt even go as far as making some random dramas.
its because they want to pump that viewer number up to able to leverage the viewers count that they earned and convert it into money.
honestly, the market is so saturated that if we are just the average person with no special capability we can be sure that our effort in being a content creator might go to drain.
like the case of what you just described, creating content won't make us suddenly famous and have higher self worth.
it requires massive effort even to get adequate stable content viewer where it can be taken advantage for affiliate marketing.

We have to think broadly, it doesn't mean that without capital we can't do business, there are many areas that we can use to do business without capital, especially in the digital era like now, we just need to become an affiliate marketer and get a little profit from selling products that we have published. it could be a starting point for building your own business.

This doesn't mean that you can run a business without any capital, but the business will run if there is a big desire from us to start it even without capital and in the end we can get capital to develop our own business from various methods and affiliate marketing is one of them.

When you don’t have the capital to start a trade, your skill set because what you could rely on to aid you get into that trade and persist. Even so, you don’t just start affiliate market with just your voice, to archive this you need to go out there and not just out there, go to a place where you could find your prospective customers. You don’t go to a place where you’ve got low income earners and advertise a Ferrari for sale, of course you wouldn’t make any sales there but, obviously those that can afford such luxury aren’t found hanging on the streets.

This is where certain gadgets come into play and even those needs capital to acquire. Perhaps your not having to purchase and resell the product but, you need certain gadgets to properly package and capture sides to your product and the right platform to display them. These things are cost inclusive and could count as your capital too. You would still need some money to push forward in a line.

Someone who's got the will power to start a business can do whatever he can with or without a capital. If he's got no capital, he'll find a way to have his own capital.

And when he's able to figure out the first problem, he'd be able to turn that money into his capital. So, in short, most of the businessmen are real problem solvers.

But some are just definitely for the profit but I am in the impression that majority of them are into provision of real world solutions.

The fancy gear and beautiful website seem important, right? However, those are tools, not the basis. Separate need from good to have. So, no cash? That stinks, but your skills and passion are valuable. Tools important, though. Show up ready to win, not simply show up. Think smart. Every money you spend, big or small, must work for you. It's not about the most costly gear, but what works. Don't chase luxury clientele if your offering is simple. Match your product to the market, then expand. A marathon, not a sprint. You need early wins to fuel later ones

Without capital we can start any kind of business. How to do business without capital where we do not get business success even with enough capital or it is difficult to survive in this competition. Whatever business we do small to big but we definitely need money and without money no one will take our business partner or we cannot do any business on our own. There are some works that are done only through labor and if I work for someone else through my own labor, he gives me some money in return as salary. We definitely need capital because without capital a business or business idea may never be successful.

Starting a business without capital is almost impossible no matter how big or small, capital is needed. It is possible to rise through labor but it will require capital. It is not possible to do anything with empty hands by making more profit by using little capital. Without money the foundation of business is not built or the thought of doing business without cost is a sign of foolishness. If you have skills knowledge talent or special knowledge as capital then don't stop because you don't have money. Go into business with small capital and try to provide your services for money.

Matters related to affiliates or marketing are more focused on the marketplace or global markets which we can use to collaborate with distributors or companies directly in marketing their goods. But this certainly won't be easy to do because there needs to be a special race on the amount of marketing that is our target as workers who don't have capital such as money.

If we talk about capital in general, it is not only related to money, but also related to our time, energy, thoughts and also our expertise in marketing more products owned by the company. Because without money we have to have more things like I mentioned so that we can be more reliable in marketing any product, even though the person who has it also has to have all these things so that the journey can be a little easier for him.

Maybe that popularity can grow by itself depending on the content that is created, but what you say is true, of course other people who might like the content that has been created can feel bored and at that time they will no longer see our content. and there content creators have to think about creating new, more interesting things. Therefore, it is not easy to do this. Of course, everything that can make money has its own difficulties. Sometimes there are people who create reckless content that can harm other people and even endanger themselves just to get a lot of viewers and followers.

I myself have uploaded several of my videos to YouTube, but I'm a shy person so I didn't continue. Then I got a job that really made my body move every day, namely working in a coffee shop, it made me comfortable even though occasionally I had to chat with new people, because that had become a necessity too. I think maybe only confident people can face the camera.

It is possible to earn money without investment by affiliate marketing but it is very difficult and if you are doing it, you are selling other people's products, you are working hard to help other people's company to grow. Earning money through affiliate marketing is a very bad plan. It may bring you some earning for temporary or long term but you cannot become rich in life by earning from them. So it's a bad plan.  If you can grow a business it will give you income as well as increase its market value which will increase your wealth. so always try to make something yourself

I don't know how we could start a business without capital, but if we are not having anything as a start up capital, we can device a means to earn money and then uses that as a start up capital or investment asset for what we intended to do, if we really understand how we can go about it, it's very possible for us to start something with an idea even when we have no start up capital.

Many opportunities are available if we are able to utilize social media and now promotions using several social media platforms have become more favorite. There are no restrictions on promoting products there so there are many opportunities that we can take advantage of to generate profits. The fundamental problem is how people understand technology because if someone is unfamiliar with it then there is no chance for them to achieve success there.

I see that there are many products being sold on social media platforms now and there are many people who find it easy to shop. All that is needed is expertise in marketing and if we are able to carry it out then the greatest opportunity to achieve success there is very large.

Starting a business without capital is something that is rather hard to achieve but to achieve this, the materials to be used in the business has to be something that is easily accessible, more like something that u can get without spending so much, after selling the first set of products, you can use the money from the sales as your capital and grow the business.
Most businesses that start without capital start initially as trying something new or something you do just to pass time and eventually turns to a business. Most times our hobbies can also serve as a source of income.

True that, even with affiliate marketing, we still need to have a small capital to do things we need to do.  If we are engage in online affiliate system, we need money to maintain our internet connection, to pay for the electric bill and money to buy our gadgets and equipment.  It is that with an affiliate marketing, we only need a small amount of capital.

There is no such thing as business without capital IMO, little/small capital maybe is a more appropriate word.

It is not impossible to start a business without capital, but it is very difficult. Instead, it makes more sense to find resources that can generate capital and then start a business with the capital you have collected. Working on methods to create capital may be a better way to start.

It is very difficult to plan without capital. When starting many businesses, things can become easier depending on the size of the capital. Lack of capital can cause things to become difficult and not become reality.

I guess capital does not only stick to money but even your stock knowledge and skills can also be good assets or capital in your business. However, if you start a business without sufficient amount of money, that will certainly require a lot of work to do, since you still need to come up with money first from your skills or experience and I know it will definitely takes a longer time. But if you have both, the money and your skills and experience in making your business work, that is already a big advantage on your part.

This is right but you don’t expect everyone to start affiliate marketing although the example is understandable and perfect. The problem here is most people don’t have what we call communicating skills and besides without being interactive and lacking the idea of passing out useful information about the product you’ll definitely not earn the money you desire, when I read the topic I thought op will list common business with zero capital for start but then every little and common business need capital big or little for start but I guess op is referring to online business and idea. Not everyone can go along with different business ideas coming from the internet so I guess aside the internet every business must start with a capital also including online business, I don’t know about affiliate marketing cause I haven’t gotten into the system but we still have different business ideas online starting with capital

I think you missed the point. Op refers to having an opportunity to at least start your own small business even without a capital. Just like affiliate marketing, there no need to produce any amount of money, the only thing you need to do is to do the market and every product you successfully sold, you will receive a certain amount of commission.

For your suggestion of going to small businesses and offerring services for money, that considers as applying for a job.
Unless you are talking about selling your services, providing equipments for your needs and doing marketing (through your social media account or any means) by yourself. This is also a type of business that you can start without capital.

For affiliate marketing being started without a capital, I can agree with the OP on that. People who are on TikTok and instagram trying to get more audience are not all spending money. Some of the content are things that don’t require money. So some people may choose to use their social account for the affiliate marketing while some may want to spend money paying for ads.

Coming to today's modern era if you say I will do business without capital I think it is possible no way. No matter how hard you work, how much time you give, money you will need to do business. You will need a small amount of capital to enter the business. Nowadays it is seen in various places that people who do not have capital, start a small business with minimum initial capital even after taking loan. Either way you will need money as well as patience, time and skill to manage the business and you will find success future.

Yes, bro, nowadays if you say opening a business without capital is a bit impossible, in my opinion, every time we want to start a business we must have a little capital, how will our business run if we don't have capital, even in an overnight business, before we start, we must have money. registration, money comes in and then members' money, let alone opening a business like a small kiosk, that alone requires capital to start a business, now where there are jobs that don't require capital, even if we enter the office sector, we have to have capital to get us into office work, let alone in the business sector where capital is clearly needed before opening a business that we want to open and develop, in a trading business the more capital we spend the more profits we get, as long as the business we are starting is serious about developing it and we are confident in a successful business we have started it from the start.

Though your first sentence contradict me but I fall inline with your ideas, the truth remain that any body going into a business consider it be a capital intensive or not all business don't have the same amount of capital , capital in a business is the first amount of money used in opening the business, I saw many saying about affiliate marketing having no capital I don't agree with that saying, but can concur that it required less capital. before if  you said there is no capital the garget to be used in the business is it not money that will afford it, what of some training that will make you more proficient no matter how small any business is capital is required even the least wheelbarrow pushier need capital to afford the barrow just that it's not capital intensive.

That's why in today's competitive business environment, thinking of doing any business without capital is nothing but fantasy. The thing earning money that is being thought about is actually a job. At present, even with only financing, it is not possible to do business without proper skills and foresight. Therefore, by reviewing the business movement, considering nature, environment, demand, financial resources manpower and failures business activities should be started with suitable products or services and be patient.

Yeah really it is proven to take time to make gains with affiliate marketing not unless you are already having huge and established community or popularity on social media platforms which is for me the most common way to advertise or promote links. It also needs more effortsa and skills for you to be able to attract the attentions of potential costumers that might avail what we are promoting. I am an affiliate marketer as well but it doesn't work for me since I don't put a lot of effort on it due to having a very hectic schedule.

I don't know about others but to me affiliate marketing is a big headache for me and thats why it is very hard to see a successful person who is based on affiliate marketing, all people I knew that are into this have all quit, it is a long term struggle and you might not even get the results you desire.

To cut this story short it is not for everyone, many people would prefer to get a job even if its paying a low amount and start from there, i even think that starting as a airdrop hunter is way better, if done in a bull market you will get positive results after many trials.

There is no need for spending money and finding traffics or similar, just some access to the internet and do every possible airdrops available, using the right airdrop source you will come out with something to show for it, if you are not lazy, you can also start testnet too, I know a guy who made over $6000 in testnets, this money is life changing in my country. 

Not everyone's built for the long haul, the grind, the uncertainty. You gotta have thick skin to play that game. And yeah, a lot of folks get discouraged, tap out. Anything worth fighting for ain't gonna be easy. Some people crush it, some don't. That's true for any high-stakes game. Crypto, startups, whatever. Is switching to airdrops or testnets the answer? Maybe for some. But those have their own risks too. Timing, luck; it all plays a role. Six grand ain't the norm out there, even with a lucky break

The deal is finding your own path, a smart path. Don't chase one shiny thing. This whole digital world, finance, marketing... is wild . You have to stay sharp, diversify, and above all, keep that fighting spirit. It ain't just about the dollar signs at the end of the day. It's about making the right calls for yourself, and riding the waves as best you can

As I said before, it all comes back to the initial planning, if someone wants to do business then there is no reason for them to start even without capital, because now there are quite a lot of things that are done at the start of starting a business to be able to develop your own business.

However for those who want to do something just to make a profit without wanting to develop or build their own business, of course there are those who do that, but they are very disadvantaged because currently doing business is the most profitable job, especially when there are many light businesses without capital that can be run.

If you do business in the usual way, you automatically need capital because it is impossible for people to open a shop without using capital to put goods into it. Except for the business model like the OP is talking about where we only act as people who promote. Doing business on social media platforms also requires capital to purchase equipment for promotions, such as domains costs, because if you rely on free promotions on available social media, it will not reach a wide audience of buyers.

But if you want your business to grow then capital should be the main need because we are the ones who provide goods for those who promote it through social media. Influencers only take advantage of other people's businesses to generate profits and owners must be able to take advantage of opportunities from them to achieve success.

Every industry will have its glory days and if we talk about affiliate marketing, its glory days are over, making money from it is no longer as easy as before. That's why we no longer see this business model as popular as other forms of online business.
Affiliate marketing will not require capital or too much capital, but instead we will spend a lot of time on it and there is no guarantee that it will be highly effective.

I agree with you, if someone wants to start making money online, they should learn about airdrops, testnets, retroactive... much better than affiliate marketing, a model that is quite old and no longer has potential.

I knew of affiliate marketing years back, not online tho but in a town not far from where I stay, the place is very big market and it deals mainly on livestock. So how I knew about this market is through my friends elder brother. It all started like this, I had issue with my parent at home so I decide to stay with my friend for some time, During this period I noticed my friend elder brother always go out in the morning and comes back at night. Staying in a place that is not mine I was beginning to feel somehow, I was feeling I need to provide something too, at least to contribute something too since they where staying alone and providing for themselves. So one day I asked him which work he was into maybe I could follow him and he said if he is going the next day he will take me with him.

I was curious before the next day and couldn’t wait to atleast start something for myself, the next was here and I was set, we enter a bus to the town and within 30-40 min we were there. We started by greeting some of his friends and colleagues. After that I couldn’t believe what happened next. A man drop from a bike with a goat and my friend brother ask him if it for sell and the man said yes,  and he said how much and the man said #15,000(naira) after much bargain they later agreed on #12,000(naira) so he asked the man to sit with his friends and he is coming to withdraw the money from the nearest POS. He asked me to come with him and with the goat, we left there and after like 20min we were able to sell the same goat to another man for #18,000(naira) like I was just amazed. I realize we made #6,000(naira) profit without investing or even needing capital to start something. After everything that day I remember we came home with 12,0000(naira) and I asked him is it always like this and he said some days he come home with less and some days even more. It one experience I will never forget because I actually enjoyed every bit of it.

Affiliate marketing is certainly alive and kicking! While it has changed over the years, there's still good money to be made for those willing to put in the effort.  Building a loyal following and carefully vetting products takes time, but the rewards can be worth it.

Of course affiliate marketing alone may not make you rich quick.  But exploring new options like airdrops could complement an affiliate approach nicely.  Diversifying efforts seems prudent in such a fast-moving industry.  At the end of the day, easy money is often illusory.  But with some grit and smarts affiliate marketing still presents a viable path.  It may look different today than in years past.  But where there are audiences looking for recommendations and products hungry for promotion, ther will always be room for affiliates to prosper.

The good thing about life now is that starting anything without capital is easier, because the choices are much wider, from affiliate marketing, service-based businesses, products on demand, to drop service. However, we must have strong determination and the will to succeed because without that, everything will be in vain.

We also have to understand that this type of capital is not just money, it can be skills, networks, time. The majority of generation Z can definitely relate to current technological developments, because I think this applies to everyone, from those who are still in college, to being employees, or married (up to which one suits you best) according to your skills and desires. Because of course digital world business is very interesting, it doesn't require capital or even a lot of capital, the time is flexible, and the market is wider.

When it comes to business, having a sufficient amount of capital is very essential. Even if you say you have all the knowledge and skills needed, still working on your business won’t be easier. It’s much better to start with a business if you have both, capital and the experience to make it work and grow.

Now talking about affiliate marketing, that’s actually not your own business but you are working for that business to grow. And obviously the strategy you need here is on how to attract your future customers so they will end up patronizing the items you are promoting.

A business is not easy to start and anybody that is ready to start a busy must be prepared for the worse care eventually. I have seen so many businesses that was started with huge amount of money but finally ended in nothing. We we need to understand that before we ever think of doing a business, there are so many questions we needed to ask ourselves so that we don't become novice when everything has finally started. We can make money from the business that was created even though it was a month ago. Dedication is another question one need to ask so that we don't start what we can not finish.

You make affiliate marketing sound so easy a d simple to go with because a newbie reading this op that's the perspective they will have about affiliate marketing not until they go into it and see the challenges there embedded. You fail to emphasize about the importance of growing a community which is what affiliate marketer success lies on, and this community takes time to build and you'll have to gain their attention and trust. In doing all of these you will need preferably a phone at least, burning of data,  and this requires financial capital to keep rolling even when the community has not been made.

And you don't just wake up one morning to become an affiliate marketer, you will have to undergo some training to have good communication skills about what you do in order to be able to attract audience within a competitive market. All of these demands capital to get enrolled into a training, right?

     It can happen that you can start a business without taking out any investment. For example, in the traditional business of consignments, you will drop products, then remit the goods when they are sold. You will only be given a day until you sell them.

     And when you are online, there are more opportunities for businesses that you can get profit from without capital, such as affiliate marketing number one on YouTube and Facebook accounts, which you can earn as long as you monetize your account or page. Here in crypto through airdrop's.

Even most businesses you establish with a capital would still take time for you to build a good and strong customer and audience base since it's still relatively new. Time is one of the essential qualities of a good a thriving business, as you'll need time to nurture and expand the business so can actually know about it.

If you've got the bravado and the confidence to be able to talk to people and sell them something without making them feel irritated of you, you're probably going to make money with affiliate marketing, the only problem with this one is that not everyone can do this even those that want to become a businessman, they will have a hard time and affiliate marketing isn't for everybody anyway. Also, why would you want to start at something when it's much more easier to have the basic requirements, not everything in life is about taking the difficult path, if the easy path that will make your success more likely shows up, shouldn't you grab that opportunity? I think that there's been an epidemic of being allured that hard work equals success, that's not going to be the case in this economy and current state of the world.

This is true though profit making in any business will take time at last but any business we start most likely to bring in the cash flow from the day one which could be very low but still the cash flow will help to run it while you are doing all these. Anyway I said that isn't even a business, it's same as some sales executive who work commission basis unless we are talking about someone who is already a celebrity and brands are waiting in queue because they know it's gonna be a sure shot.

I suggest starting with not zero, because I know that a lot of people will look for zero, but the reality is that if you have even a small amount, you should be able to actually start a business a lot better.

The difference between zero dollars and even something small like a thousand dollars is HUGE in the online world, for a thousand dollars you could probably get the social media posts handled, get like 200 posts with great mock-ups ready for the images and posts itself, and you could get a template website ready, nothing too fancy but at least something that explains what your business does, a logo, a great business offer on paper to everyone, and you could just go around and could collect a lot more money after that, all within budget. With zero? You can't do any of that.

In my opinion, starting a business without capital is not impossible in the current era. The stigma of starting a business with large capital is that people whose average expectations are very high end up feeling afraid or embarrassed to start it.

In fact, every time we start a business, we only need to understand three steps, first understand the knowledge, second be confident in the business we are running, and third run it with full confidence. Especially in the current digital era, many businesses do not require a lot of capital or even no capital at all. One of them is like the example you gave, now even with a smartphone you can make money like being a content creator on social media, of course the key is to only have one desire and don't give up easily.

Someone who's eager to start a business, will definitely start it no matter what and anticipates the possible good and bad result.

They're willing to do it with a capital of course. Someone who doesn't have plans to get into business and does have a capital, they're comfortable and don't want to cause themselves any trouble.

I'm not saying it's dead or outdated, I'm just saying that its heyday is over and things are becoming saturated so making money from it isn't as easy as it used to be. Of course, those who pursue it from the beginning still earn a decent income from it, but beginners will encounter many difficulties and challenges. I still have some friends who are still working in the affiliate marketing industry, they still earn a pretty good income, but earning a huge income like the old days is just a memory.

As for getting rich, it depends on each person's mindset, not on the industry you are working in, any industry can produce billionaires if you know how to take advantage of it.

You cannot start a business without capital because I don’t know how you will fund such a business to grow. And I haven’t seen anyone who has done that before. There is no way you will enter a business without any capital. Just imagine entering a bitcoin investment without money. How can you be successful in that business that you are about to start? I don't think there’s a way you will be a successful businessman or investor. Without money, you can’t even promote your business in order to grow.


What’s the hard work then if you don’t have money to fund the business you want to start? However, in this life, if you are really ready to do business, then you need money to support your business, and capital cannot be raised. You must enter business with capital, not until you start the business before you get the capital.

It is not possible to run a business without making a large capital investment. Affiliate marketing is not a business it is just a way to earn some income by promoting other's business or selling other's products. therefore, it cannot be considered as a business. Business is when you have your own products and sell them. and for this you must invest a lot of money. It is not possible to do business without big capital. i think op don’t know the difference of business and Affiliate marketing

I agree with you, indeed a business that is built using capital takes time to develop to become better. Starting a business from scratch is certainly not easy even if our finances are sufficient. Of course there will be obstacles or unexpected things that can happen, such as risks that we don't think about or obvious problems that can occur with all the businesses we run, there is nothing that can rule out the possibility that problems can occur, even if we run our business as well as possible, we still can. problems or risks are likely to occur.
For business development, of course it obviously takes time, no one starts a business and immediately becomes successful or the business they run runs smoothly, no matter how clever someone is in running a business, of course they will definitely experience problems first, it's just that they are smart in overcoming the problems so that the business is successful. it runs fine.

Becoming a content creator is not easy, of course there will be its own obstacles and I think this does require capital, even if it is calculated as small as with an internet connection, in my opinion that is already included in the capital. there is no way we can do it without an internet connection. It is true that in this era, technological developments make everything easier, but of course, even though everyone can become a content creator, not everyone can be consistent in doing it because some people may fail to do it because they are not able to cope with the obstacles they have to face.

Many streamers currently play games live and earn money from it, but I don't think it's easy. because as far as I know there are some things that are quite difficult to do, but I agree with what you said regarding the three things you mentioned. However, with the second and third, I think you are conveying essentially the same advice, namely "sure", only the sentence is reversed.

Your right here! Having a good sum of money in your hand as a capital to start a business is good and it will give you access to things you cannot do when you do not have any money on you. Which you have mentioned earlier. But i think that OP is trying to say that there are people who may have that money but dont know how to start a mange a business and even if they try to implement these things you mentioned they may go about it the wrong way.

That means it is good one have a 0 zero amount at hand and a million dollars amount in the brain. So that when they have such amount or little to start their business they will be successful at the end. It takes a prepared mind to be successful on anything whether with money or not.

I agree with this that starting a business requires capital, it doesn't need to be too big, the point is how the capital is used as well as possible, even if it is small at least it can be used either to build a website or buy something that can be used to support the business. Because I myself don't really agree with the idea that says that a business can be started without capital, that is a mistake, because true business starts with capital - because there is not a single company in this world that is successful without using capital, it all starts with capital, no matter how small.

I read references from several articles that affiliates are included in the business using a commission distribution system to affiliates who have promoted their products on social media or on their personal websites, but I do not agree that they are not really without capital but relatively they only use capital low for product promotion activities.

Affiliate activities are very much in demand for earning online income, for example on the TikTok application (perhaps some countries prohibit the TikTok application) which has released an affiliate feature which is widely used to promote products from online stores, they pay higher commissions than from other affiliate platforms.

People who say they can build a business from zero look like they are spreading lies, and they never think before they speak, they don't even know what they are saying. In all business cycles, everything starts with the support of those closest to you, connections and of course your own motivation to start it. I also agree with you, where I think the statement that you can build a business from zero is a mistake. Maybe some just don't want to admit the help they get from other people, that's why they say that everything started from zero.

It's true, everyone needs capital to build a business, even in the service sector we have to study first, where we have to pay a certain amount of money and spend some time to master a certain skill. Overall, building a business requires consistency and deep understanding, so that we can profit from the capital we have. Risks will always exist in any business, learning from other people experiences is the best way to minimize them.

You can't actually start a business without capital but you can start a business without your capital and I'm not talking about going to borrow money since when you receive the loan it becomes your money so you're technically still using your money because the loans has to be payed back. Starting a business without capital can come in form of using others money as the capital and thast where networking comes in. There are some set of people that re good at convincing others to invest into their Idea ls and they use this people money as starting capital for their businesses. A bet you have seen people becoming successful without investing a dime or not investing a big capital into their business.


You can use others money. There are many people out there with money but they don't know how to use them especially people that just got a large amount of money but they do not have any management abilities to handle the money. I'm talking about those that just won the lottery or a bet (large amount from gambling) and those that received their pension. People too that just inherited a large wealth and do not know how to manage it but have interest investing in Bitcoin. You can help manage their portfolio or teach them how to invest and get a fees that you can use to start your own investment.

Because in the end nothing can be done without capital because don't think that capital is only based on money but in the end we also have to be able to take into account other situations such as time and maybe other things such as knowledge is also a capital so that even though we don't spend money but when we spend more time in learning a business it is capital in the end so that nothing can be said to be a business without capital because everything needs careful preparation to do it.

It's just that the stigma that occurs now is not only about doing business but for other things capital is always synonymous with money but in the end it's not wrong, it's just not very appropriate if in the end we only consider only money as capital because in the end there are several factors that can become capital that we don't realise.

 

Yes, of course there are many things to consider apart from the main capital being money. Motivation and willingness to work are also other things that must be started so that activities and goals are focused. There are also cases where if someone has enough capital but is not based on knowledge then what they do often falls apart. So I still recommend that someone who wants to start a business must really be able to master many things about business management.

Creating content is harder than just hitting "Go Live". The internet's the bare minimum, the table stakes. What separates the wannabes from the ones who make a living? Consistency. Most people underestimate the grind. It's ideas, editing, community, tech troubleshooting...a never-ending cycle. The real battleground's in your head. Top streamers, they make it look like fun, but they've turned themselves into a business. Every interaction, a piece of the bigger strategy. You figure that out, find your audience, and stay relentless? That's where potential turns into paychecks. Roadblocks are gonna happen, but it's whether you adapt or give up that determines where you end up

It’s difficult but possible to start a business without capital. Identify a profitable business idea that requires minimal investment such as offering freelance services or creating digital products. Use free marketing platforms & social media to promote your business. Look for partnerships or collaborations to access resources & reach a wider audience. Reinvest profits into the business to gradually expand. Provide excellent customer service to build a loyal customer base. Stay determined, resourceful & persistent to succeed.

True, it is a difficult thing but that doesn't mean we can't do it, it depends on how well we can see the opportunities that exist and then start working on them. There are many things where we can take advantage of the opportunities that exist in this era, especially since this is an era where life is easy.
Working hard is the key, someone who spends a large amount of capital doesn't mean they don't have to work hard, they will still do it. We can see many examples, for example a company that started from 0. They will work hard to make their company known and trusted by many people.
But maybe if we start without capital, we have to be able to work harder than those who have capital, and we are guaranteed to do everything ourselves, unlike companies that can pay employees for example.

I Saw an acquaintance of mine who was able to establish an independent and profitable business without capital. His journey was such that he used to buy mechanical parts from various shops and deliver them to customers through mobile phone. When the customer received the goods and paid him the value, he kept his profit and gave that money to the shopkeeper. In this way he gradually continued to increase his business scope through promotion and gradually he was able to establish a large parts supplier company. In that case, a man must be strategic and discover profitable areas.

For TikTok, most of the content people make requires no money, it's just some creators out of millions who might spend some money on their videos by buying props and stuff and making videos that might require some investment, but all other creators do is make some music or voiceover and make a video on that and that doesn't require any money. Even the most famous TikToker in the world, Khaby Lame, made his career out of nothing, he made funny videos using other videos as a reference and got so much fame from it.

You are right though that people who have some social media followers and fans can use that to promote their affiliate links and this might work for them. Those who don't have that might have to look into paid ads because you can't get customers or referrals by just posting the link here and there.

In starting a business what is really needed is creativity, because this is very important in building a business, relying on money in my opinion will not help anything if we are not creative enough, and if we have creativity but don't have a lot of capital we can still run it or make use of it, because in building a business creativity is very important and really needed to build the business that we will run.

In an increasingly sophisticated era like now, even though we don't have capital, it is not a barrier for those of us who want to build, utilizing the expertise and skills we have will really help us, and continue to explore the business world and always hone our abilities, one of which is We can do it even though we don't have much capital, by relying on the crafts we make, if we are persistent it will become something, so keep on being creative because this really helps us in running our business.

having creative idea in building product is good, but what usually causes people to fail their business is the execution a person can have the best idea there is and become the most creative person ever if they just can't really execute their idea it won't turn into profit, same thing with solving an actual problem and starting business out of it you can easily get success with building a business that actually has some use and solving a real problem.
if its just creating business just for the sake of creating business and thats it, i think thats where the fate of the entreprenurship is doomed to fail.
business overall is not an easy thing to do, every factor affect the way your business could works also determine whether your business gonna become a real business or just an empty shell.
overall, even mentorship thats truly helpful and connection affect a lot in business.
therefore never underestimate business difficulties.

You have some points but let face reality. You shouldn't expect much from any business you start without a capital. Making a decent profit is only possible in theory especially for the beginners. I know there are a few successful businesses that started without capital or with just a little capital and they are now famous. However, the truth is that it's not easy to get to that point.

Affiliate marketing is a good option but it takes effort and dedication to start making little to nothing from it. As a starter, you can not solely rely on affiliate marketing for your survival because you won't be able to make enough money to fully support yourself. The fact is, even people who are successful today in affiliate marketing did not start making significant income from it until after several months or even years depending on how well people trust you and how you are able to convince them. I know a few people who attempted but gave up in the long run due to their inability to make a sell. If one is willing to make sacrifice and remain committed, they will probably reach certain stage of start making a profit from it. It's a very a gradual process that requires patience.

Starting a business without capital. Yeah you can do it nothing is impossible but starting business without capital would be hard and takes time because no matter what we need capital even tho is small take example build affiliate marketing or dropship you still need an internet and laptop so yeah

You can work first and earn some money and then buy laptop and internet and then you can start business

I agree with your sentence, it is possible but difficult, starting a business without capital must have skills and expertise in the field of business that we want to run. Talking about capital is not only the money we have to spend. for example affiliate marketing we must have good skills and communication in addition to most affiliators now successful capitalize a beautiful and handsome face to lure buyers to buy the products he offers, it is also a capital that every affiliate marketing must have.

It all starts that you still need money no matter what happens. Yes, you can start from nothing but you need to work for it and still earn some money.
Those jobs that don't require you to be that much formal and you're only going to take time until you have your first sale and commission and from there, you already have your beginnings.

In the traditional way of setting up a business, you really need to have money to release; you can't have any money to release. Then you also need to be hardworking, patient, determined, and strong. We need to rotate our capital correctly.

Now, if you do business online, it's a bit less of a hustle compared to the traditional way of business. Because there are many ways to get earnings without spending any money, you just need to be patient in your search. It can't be true.

In the end, there is still basic capital where you use a laptop and the internet which is capital so that nothing can be called a business without capital because in the end even if you become an affiliator in the end it is certain that there is initial capital that we must pay attention to such as the duration of time you need to work on, how we invite, the internet we use and the laptop or gadget that is used as a suggestion is also initial capital in the end so that in business matters this also needs to be considered which makes no business that cannot be done without capital.

Using the minimum possible capital is still possible but if there is no capital at all I doubt it will work because as i said earlier nothing can really be done if you don't have anything so when talking about business all forms must be considered and taken into account because it is your initial capital in the end.

I think this is possible, I've seen a lot of people with really awesome ideas either selling their product/service ideas to those who have the power to make it happen, or they ask funding from those who already made it in the business world, as well as mentorship. Shows like Shark Tank are a really good example of this happening.

But even then, sometimes depending on the product you're trying to sell you could just cut the middleman and start your venture even without money, Facebook, Microsoft, and the biggest tech giants in the past have been able to start their success stories in the blistering heat and discomfort of their garages and bunkbeds inside dorms, if you're trying to create a similar product, you might just be able to, but always remember that whatever you don't pay with money, you're paying with something else of equal importance to you. Time, Health, relationships with the people around you, these will be tested  as you try to make it out of the ladder. it will be up to you if those are more important than the success you're seeing for yourself.

 In my opinion, every business that is started certainly requires capital, and this capital is not just money, but there is capital in the form of knowledge, skills, will, courage and honesty to start it, then the doors of opportunity will slowly open for us.
 This is very important so that the business to be carried out can be carried out well. The business world will always offer opportunities to those of us who don't have the capital to start one.

While Khaby Lame went from a nobody to a famous celebrity, I’d like to emphasize how difficult and rare that is. But it’s one interesting thing about social media algorithms. Some times it picks you and you get lucky to trend. But what does it cost anyway, which I think is why people should throw their dice anyway. You never know if the algorithm will pick you and maybe massively promote your product for free.

Post that is in relevant because you cannot establish any business without a capital any business that will stand well move to come with the capital even though the business is small or large they must be a capital that we hold the the investment to stand before any other thing but I don't know why some people thinking that you can establish investment to without having a sufficient capital I don't know where it work whether it work in some countries that is civilized whereby they come up then loan from Bank to establish a business so I do get confused in this statement because I don't really know what is the point of this discussion exactly because right from time I've been seeing a business owners and the There's No Business around my environment that doesn't do with the money

I agree with this, even in affiliate marketing, you need something to start up and to sustain it.
Mobile phones, laptop , computer or any device and of course internet connection should also be considered as your capital, for me capital isn't just money it could be your skills or connection even time or dedication, anything that you could use to produce profit.

Creativity is important but guess what, after launching your business and you have alot of funds at your disposal, you can hire a creative team and they'll be incharge of the creativity for your business. If you pay them well and give them a good reason to grow with you, they'll deliver an excellent job that your business will become a successful one without you having any creativity in you. Money solves alot of problems that comes for a new business, with massive marketing you can be able to realize gains that those that have the creativity can't generate. The more people's you reach the more your businesses gets known and the more sales you generate. Having passion, creativity and the rest quality is good but having an unlimited access to resources that you need to push your business is the ultimate boost any business can need in today's world.


If you don't have capital, your business will be buried among the similar business that will be launched with yours. How will you buy or patronize what you do not know. There are many businesses that are better than the popular ones that's known of yet they can't do numbers more than the popular brands. Apple don't have the best phones yet they have one of the most profitable businesses. Same thing can be said about other brands because branding is the best way to sell a business and to have a good brand, you need money first to sponsor your creativity.

Starting a Business without Capital can be seen as like Starting a Currency.

Make a Logo.

Make a Name.

Make a Facebook Group and Page.

Make a Twitter Account.

Make a Blog.

Take a Series of Pictures or Upload Images of something.

Make a Hashtag.

Be Part of Real Life. Go to Events. Go to Festivals, etc. With Business Cards, etc.

Guerilla Marketing.

Make a Profile on Every Social Media and Every Video Sharing Platform. Go find all the Random Streaming Apps, and Chat Group Apps, and use the same Username in all of them. That includes Forums like Bitcointalk.

Well, affiliate marketing could only be possible if you have the device and a good internet connection. But even so, I can’t still see it as a free capital because your time and efforts alone will be considered as your capital so you can convince your customers to purchase the products that you promote.

In addition, this is not actually an investment, but most likely a part time job. So you can’t still rely on this 100% and 24/7, you would still need a real and stable job that will cater to all your basic needs and even wants in life.

If anyone wants to do business without any capital at all, one can start the business by providing minimum capital through a job or work. Moreover, one can start a business without capital by simply advertising the products with different needs to different traders through mobile phones taking orders collecting them from different places and delivering them. In that case also some money is required to cover travel and communication expenses. Those minimum resources he must arrange.

That's the lie they feed you, have you done affiliate marketing before yourself?, I've did affiliate marketing for two years and yeah while it was productive for me I knew many others that quite by the way, affiliate marketing costs money cause to get more reach you might need to run ads and it also cost you to meet influencers to promote your page or profile for you.

Unless you want to go the hard way of spending years building up an Affiliate portfolio and audience, money is speed bro.

It's difficult if you ask, pretty sure that in any successful business, you need to have some funds that would make your business afloat for a little while, it's not going to be enough that you would be doing anything without any capital, that's what's going to make your business successful, after all, you need to keep and eye out on customers and you need to take care of each of them and the only way that you can take care of them to eventually become a patron of your business is if you've got the money to take care of them, people don't really want to be set aside in a business and without money, you'd likely never see a returning customer, which is a bad thing for the business so I disagree that you can build a business without a capital.

Yes, affiliate marketing, the 21st-century business. It's really good for people who are good at MARKETING and want to make money on the side. But Affiliate Marketing isn't ' your ' business. So, you can't really say a way to start a business without capital is through affiliate marketing. In Affiliate Marketing, you sell to people for commission, it doesn't belong to you.

But, that doesn't mean there aren't really ways to start businesses without capital. There are a number of ways to start a business without capital. One way is using the customer's money to fund the business. This usually works for small enterprises like a catering business, where one can use the customer's money to buy the ingredients, make it, and take the rest as the pay. People usually continue this until they have their own money or save enough to have their own Capital. You Can research other ways one can start businesses without capital on the internet.

Every step in the world has a price, be it small or big. To establish a business he has to raise a minimum amount of money in any other way. For example suppose market research finds that there is a substantial demand for mangoes in the market during the mango season. Then he made a contract with the owner of the mango orchard to pay 1000 dollars for the price of the mango orchard and I would pay the price by selling the mangoes.
Here it may appear temporarily that this business is without capital. Finally the minimum capital of this business is 1000 dollars. So needless to say business is impossible without minimum capital.

Time is also a currency. How many people waste months in trying to create a shop or a website, or they concentrate on Instagram and Whatsapp? The very creation of a digital presence cost a lot of time and some money. That time is often just wasted.

People spend 30 US$ a day eating out, coffee, taxi, plus plus and plus.
You go austere and have after one year some 10.950 US. In some countries it's harder to save but hardest is the desperation people feel, and more so when hearing: "you cannot teach an old bird to learn new tricks", or "you can't save". Or "you have no future" and and and.  

There is a reason behind successful CEO reading more than before becoming successful.  
 

First of all I want to say that there is no business what can start without any capital. They are must have to the capital, And capital means not only money all time some time it also means skills some it can be anything where you are expert you can start selling them as a service. Like as you said that in todays world affiliate marketing is one them and those peoples who have do it properly they can made huge profit without any money involved.
But one thing is very important thing in affiliate marketing and that is you have also have a community who followed you in this case affiliate marketing is profitable otherwise I think it will be nothing but only time waste.

To make a profit from the sale of any product, you need to spend a huge amount of time, effort and patience. As a rule, you need to start with your friends and invite them to buy this product. In turn, your friends will help you with marketing, recommend you to their friends, etc. Thus, you will already have your first sales experience. If you succeed the first time and you are sure that people like your product, you can start advertising! But it is impossible to open a business without capital; in order to earn something, you need to spend something, this is the law of trade!

Trying this usually doesn't really end up being the only problem one would have. Its the "team" that you end up having trouble with. Yes there will need to be a founder, but the real problem is finding a team with zero capital because you will need people.

Just to give one example, lets assume starting a token business, you start a new token that will "change the world", even if you can, you won't be able to do that with zero dollars, because you need a coder to code all of that, you need a few of them if you want website, front end , back end (or single one who is full stack) and some token coder as well, you will need marketing people, you will need mods on every channel, you will of course need graphic designer more than anything. See all of this? How are you going to do that for free? If you can somehow convince a good team of these for free, then why not, you can.

Before the trading chain is carried out, as you say in full, the main point is the CAPITAL that must be prepared and also what plans will be carried out apart from what you have stated in detail. Everyone definitely wants to make a profit, but have you thought about what happens if things don't go according to what you previously thought, such as, eventually, there is no more capital. of course, if there is no more capital prepared, then you will definitely have to borrow.
what is the impact, will it be continued if it has failed? so it's not easy to start but it will look easy when it goes well.

Before you attain everything from affiliation and other venturing without capital you will take some time building it so indeed that this is possible but with time spending and before you get there you also need to have some funds , while when you have capital there is a small time you need to spend and the next is gaining.
am a business person also  and i know how hard to establish a business from scratch .
what a complete list of what we need in having a business .

There is no business a person can start without a capital my friend, and I think it would be nice if you come to the understanding that capital isn't always about having money to start a business, anything of value can act as a capital to starting any business.
For example, using the example you gave above about the possibility of a person starting an affiliate marketing business without capital, and you went ahead to say that if the person has a good communication skills, he or she will do well..
In this sense, it is important for us to understand that a good skill in communication is a capital to starting affiliate marketing, why? Because, good skill in communication is a thing of value, a good gift that those without it can't do well if they ever venture into affiliate marketing.

So, capital isn't always about having money, our gift can act as a capital in starting some businesses.

No money but still want to put together a strong team? Hard as nails, especially when it comes to something as complicated as crypto tokens. It's a lot; you need coders, marketing, designers, community managers, and so on. And getting smart people to do free work? Now that's a whole new level of hard. Of course, money isn't the only answer. Just think about it: some of the best ideas came from a strong desire, not money. If your small idea has the power to make the world a better place, someone will want to be a part of it. Because they'll know how much it will be worth in the future, they'll be able to put in the work now

Yes, this business is almost the same as bounty or airdrop. However this business requires excellent marketing and communication skills so that consumers are interested in buying your product. The advantage is that even if the product offered doesn't sell, you don't have the risk of incurring a loss. In this day and age we can start a business without capital and can even start a business just from the smartphone we have. all we have to do is dare to start and don't be afraid of failure.

Time is money if it can be used and utilized. So if one wants to convert time into wealth, he should not go to other ways of making money until he finds a good way to make money. So rather than thinking of doing business without capital, it would be better to invest in Cryptocurrency or Bitcoin which will give him better results than other means.

Sometimes all you need is perseverance and some skills to start your own business. These days, internet will be your bestfriend as you can basically run your business at the comfort of your home.
You can start offering your expertise by creating an online account. In today's job market, you can already find a lot working remotely and at the comfort of your home, without having a capital. Well, net and computer at least. You need to think what you can offer to others and possibly your edge over your competitors. You need to start at some point, right?

I am very interested in the idea you said in terms of building your own business to be more independent in improving our finances and family of course. Well, in this case, can you exemplify a little bit of what light business can be done without capital and that can be run and profitable, my masud besides working online.

Why do I ask there are many people out there who still lack understanding about building an online business especially the level of online navigation skills is weak. If anyone else gave this idea I thought it would be helpful.

agreed nowaday people can just run business from the comfort of home its unlike back then when starting business need to rent a place but it also means far greater competition starting out business not as easy as it is depicted by many people there's a lot of struggle not to mention the strategy needed nowadays are more advanced than before utilizing social media and many more.
so there's an additional layer of challenge here knowing the fact that competition is greater and much more people want to turn their life around through various means such as starting out these online business.
also, capital is still a necessity at the end of the day with the online business.

most of the light business you mentioned proably are affiliator and marketers, yes it can be done online, just building your own online presence could attract many brands to take advantage of your follower base.
it does require special effort though also not all people could do this.

It's true that everything requires capital, even if it's said to be small, but it's still capital if that's one of the things that is included in the aspect of the business that will be run, such as the knowledge or skills that you have, of course that's capital to be able to start a business. . Capital is not only in the form of money, there are many things that can be said about capital, so no business can be started without capital.

even with affiliate marketing it requires natural capital as we have to be good at speaking in order to attract lots of people and buy what we are marketing, of course this is not easy because I think there are some people who can't do this because they don't have the confidence to be there. in front of many people and also with those who are not good at speaking, because there are also people who prefer to work behind the scenes. Everyone needs capital to be able to move forward. Capital will still be there in any case.

Yes, of course there are many aspects that can be assessed as capital, meaning you don't just focus on the funding. Insight and management are capital that must be combined so that every activity can run well. Of course, it is not easy when there is a narrative that says that starting something with no capital, I think a narrative like that will be difficult to digest and it is even impossible to make a decision without being accompanied by some capital as I mentioned.

I believe there's no business that can truly run without capital. Even if you don't have money, you still need the will and determination to succeed, which can be considered a form of capital.

In my opinion, starting affiliate marketing without money, skills, or connections would be extremely difficult and time-consuming. You lack the funds for advertising, the ability to effectively sell products, and the network to reach potential customers. Therefore, it's better to treat affiliate marketing as a side hustle while maintaining a stable main job until the income from affiliate marketing becomes consistent and surpasses your primary income.

I agree that once you become an expert in affiliate marketing, you can generate daily profits due to your developed sales skills, which are invaluable.

Yes. It fits and that's perfectly logicalwhare all require basic funds in developing any type of business. Previously, of course, we came from an idea that resulted in the potential type of activity to be developed had clear prospects and the rotation was fast.

If it is known, continued and estimated correctly, then we will review how much initial funding needs we need to run it, if there is a turnover, just enlarge the scope. Users also like quality goods and affordable prices for them.

Well that's true, even if we don't use actual money to run a simple business, but the means and things that we needed to do that business is considered as a capital already, like what you've said, affiliate marketing needs a good quality of devices, the internet and some subscriptions that helps you to have a good quality content for your affiliated items, sometimes you just have to buy the exact item that you will be needed to advertise because some shops doesn't give samplers. Affiliate marketing is one of the best way to become a side hustle especially if you have a limited amount of money, It will gives you a continous profit even if it's a small amount at first but once you get some clients or target costumers, it will grow eventually.

In business, capital is not just money, and money alone will not be enough as capital. If we can be trusted, have good credibility, have a good name, have skills, and have a good network then even in conditions without money we can pursue success. Moreover, many people are successful by acting as agents or intermediaries between sellers and buyers even though they don't have any capital.

But without capital, how can we build relationships, how can we create a good reputation...? It can be said that everything is closely related to each other and to be successful we need to combine it all. I have not seen anyone succeed without capital, or anyone have relationships without capital in these days.

I'm not saying what you said is wrong, there are still some people who become rich from nothing but such stories are not many and we can't even see someone who can do that in today's society. Those stories were stories of last decade, they are no longer true in today's society. That's why people often say the poor get poorer, while the rich get richer.

In my opinion, money capital is not the main capital for starting a business, I have even done this by building a business without capital. We need to know that money is not always the main capital in starting a business. If you really intend to earn income, as long as you want to be tired and don't complain too much, even though at first the income is still small, if you persevere seriously and follow the process, then you can definitely make a lot of money. and achieve success.

Indeed, everything requires initial capital to be able to run the planned business, of course capital is not only in the form of money, even with skills and knowledge, in my opinion, that is the initial capital that must be had. It's true that what you say is all closely related to each other, of course to be successful we don't just have to have capital, we have to master the skills and knowledge. no one is successful without using capital at the start.

To be able to start a business requires hard work with the aim of success, with those who are willing to work hard and never give up doing what they want, I think they have the opportunity to be successful, in fact everyone has the right and opportunity to be successful, but it all depends on them. themselves whether they themselves will fight for it or not.

That's right, skill capital is more important than financial capital to get a job in the current technological era, the internet has offered 1001 types of jobs that you can choose according to your skills, even though the OP explained about affiliates, there are still many other jobs that we can get online jobs without capital, one option is to become a blog creator on TikTok and many of my friends earn income from endorsements or affiliations with online shops promoted in TikTok videos. So improve your skills and use the internet to earn additional income.

If it is said that building a business does not require capital, of course you must be able to have someone who can guarantee the funds you need for the business you are going to run because in my opinion it is impossible to run a business without having and if you are just looking for income Of course this will really depend on the person, if someone is not lazy it will definitely be difficult for that person to do work and they will not be able to earn income but if that person has needs that they must fulfill of course they will do the work whatever they can to be able to have an income that can meet their needs.

It is true that to be able to run a good business, of course, there are many things or aspects that must be considered. Funding is certainly important, but insight is no less important, even though we don't have good experience but there must already be good insight when starting a business. Business is certainly closely tied to profits and losses, to avoid losses of course insight will be one of the things that can be done to avoid losses, including money management is also important. Those who are eager to start a business sometimes do not pay attention to this right, where they still start a business in the absence of good insight or good money management, usually people like this do not think about the future, they only think at that time.

Of course, making decisions must also be considered properly. When going to do a determined thing we must consider it first, whether the thing decided will or does use some money to run it or not, also with the risks that must be considered. If the risk is great and we are not sure we can handle it, it is not advisable to make that decision.

I have read this topic before from a different OP, the comments of other people described affiliate marketing as no easy task. Before you can start monetizing your affiliate network, you need to learn from other successful markets, learn how to and where to search for customer, you will also learn how to run ads for yourself and you will also pay people to run ads for you based on the traffic they get on their content. It is not an easy task and you can not start monetizing as soon as you start.

that is why I say that in every business that you want to go into so how to make a necessary inquiring concerning the business to know if the business will be successful to you or not because there is something that will lack willack the knowledge of making a research before we go into business so for you to go into a business that you don't mind you need to investigate properly ask questions so that you know if the business will flourish to you or not

It is normal these days that only capital can make us meet the right people who will help our business grow to the standard we want. I don't think one can start a business without capital and if we look at the way businesses are growing they grow with people who have generated some good sales at first or enough statistics with good records before any potential investors can come in and support the business. Nobody wants to invest in a business where there is no growth at all.

It can be seen that in this era, no one can start a business without knowledge, skills, technological equipment... and to own all of those things we also need money. Like the job the OP mentioned is affiliate marketing, it's true that we don't need to spend capital to import goods, rent warehouses, hire employees... but need the internet, phone, laptop and these things are related money. So as I said everything is closely related, no one can do business without money and the factors we mentioned.

Money is not one of the main capital to bring a business to success and development, because money is only a complementary tool for the business owner to buy some of the needs he wants in his business. Because the main thing that a business owner must have in advancing his business is expertise in reading the market and also expertise in marketing the products he will sell later or the services he will open later. Because without expertise and perseverance and not complaining too much, it will be difficult for him to make his business more advanced because a lot of money can run out quickly if it is managed by people who do not have the skills to run a new business.

Capital is actually a very general thing and is not only limited to money or funds as you mean, because time, energy, thoughts and the best methods that can be used by each person must also be considered as very valuable capital for those who wants to build a business in his life. But because currently there are almost no free things to get, it is clear that funds or money are still a more important factor in opening a business independently after the person who wants to open the business has the skills to run it. And this does not apply to people who work for other people, because people who work for other people only rely on their energy and thoughts to sell other people's products on the market.

That's right, affiliate marketing is hard. If you have already a brand or you have established already your social media presence, everything is easy. But if you're starting from zero, having no influence and you don't know where to start, it will take you a year or more but things can be lessen if you work hard and you've got a strategy to become famous easily. That's how social media works nowadays, you can be a star overnight and be successful.

And that is why you need to build your contents, blogs, vlogs, social media presence, network and as much as anything that you can. Because if you're going to do it on your own, you need to strategize it or get some tips from the established ones. And don't be surprised with the same thing that they're going to say.

It is about not going to be an easy thing and they all started from the bottom. But with that, they'll tell you to enjoy the process as that's the sweetest hardship that you can ever be.

Capital seems to be the most important problem faced by prospective entrepreneurs. Many of them take out loans from banks to get capital, and I think that is good as long as we have clear knowledge and strategy for the business we are going to run. Don't let us just speculate high in doing business, because that will actually deepen our suffering, especially when we only imagine rewards without considering the risks.

Talking about this capital will be ambiguous in my opinion, because you also don't know how much capital you use to start a business and what you will try to do if you have that capital, many people have capital but can't maximize it to build a business, in fact if you do business it will fail because you don't understand what business is, in business it takes a strong soul to live it and it's rare for people to be able to do it.

If your soul is a businessman, do not have initial capital, but when you have the opportunity to get capital, you will definitely work on it, whether it can be from investors or from other sources, but speaking investors will first see the ability we have in running a business to be able to trust us to manage their money, so dedication to ability is much better than focusing on capital, because capital will come according to our abilities in any field of business.

If you are just waiting for the capital to be there and you don't have any understanding, I strongly believe that when you have the capital, you will be confused to start.

“don't get hung up on capital”

There needs to be a combination if you want to become the boss of a business, but if you have money, you can hire people to work for you, you can hire experts to teach you how to do business, open a company...Meanwhile, you are passionate about business and knowledgeable about business but do not have capital. You need to accumulate capital but there is no guarantee that you can accumulate or call for investment capital from someone. That's why many people have high levels of education, knowledge, skills, experience...but still only work for others.

I see many people emphasize skills and knowledge and think that money is not a top priority. That's not completely wrong but don't judge and look down on people who have money but no experience in business. Think about it, if they are a useless person with no talent, how can they make a lot of money?

In my opinion, the opinion expressed by our friend is quite correct. Starting a business without capital is not impossible. Capital is not just money, but also involves credibility, good name, skills and a good network. We can take advantage of the trust, credibility and good name we have to start a business when we have no money. Customers will trust and prefer to transact with us because of our good reputation.
However, you need to remember that even though cash capital is not needed, effort and hard work are still needed to run a business. In business, there is no guarantee of success without maximum effort. Maintain integrity in every business action we carry out. Don't disappoint customers or business partners by doing things that are detrimental or unethical. By adhering to integrity we will build strong credibility in the eyes of others.

How do we know how to run a business without having knowledge in it, how can we be the boss but we know the business we run like and how to run it if we only know based on the theory in the book we have read.

How can you have money? Maybe it's inherited from your parents, it's possible, and a lot of people lose their wealth because they can't manage their money even though they used to get a lot of money from their parents, or the results of cheating, the results of work collected or whatever can happen if it's about money ownership, I don't underestimate people who have money from their hard work, I just want to emphasize, having capital for the first step in making money again is not something that must exist first, but the will.

One can do online business with low or no money. If someone has expertise in something, he can sell his skill in dollars and he can get good money from that .  If someone has expertise in cake making skill , he can market his business because there are thousands of opportunities for a person who want to become rich  early in life.

Marketing strategies can help any person business from zero to the peak because for every business marketing is important and marketing is backbone of business.There are many social media platforms like  facebook , Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok ,where you can chat with his or her followers and you can sell your product or service.

Working in affiliate marketing is not as easy as it sounds, because you have to use the traffic of different sites and pay them. If you don't pay them, you won't get access and your project may slow down. Online platforms that offer free services to take products to your customers often do not work or fail to reach customers at the desired time. Capital is definitely needed to start a business, but starting with talent requires a lot of hard work.

You are right because I'm even surprised that some people have the mindset that every successful men started with zero capital because that's totally not true although there people who were able to establish themselves through some online jobs without paying anything but that doesn't mean that it could work out for everyone so for me I believe that to become a successful person you will always ues money to get more money.

However in as much as most people sees affiliate marketing as a place of making money without spending any money but they should know that is also not easy making money through the affiliate marketing because it could take the person a very long time before getting the number of audience they need and funny enough is not even everyone that venture into affiliate marketing that would become successful, so perhaps the best way is just to establish themselves using there money to start up a business instead of expecting to become successful without investing for there future.

Yeah that is right affiliate marketing is a good way to earn profit that is no capital, the problem there is the trust you need a big community of audiences to make sales and get commissions another thing is there are so many people around that do the same thing they are your rival, so for me still it is not easy to do affiliate marketing it only sounds so easy but in reality its not.

Do you have a lot of followers on social media, such as TikTok and IG? If not, the affiliate process that you convey will also not work. I think the most important thing is to make ourselves famous first before talking about other skills.

In any business, regarding skill number two, the most important thing is that you are famous or known.

Because I really understand what you are saying, it's not that easy to produce something.

Currently, affiliate marketing is one way that can be done because nowadays most people definitely use social media for their activities, of course we can market it by spreading or sharing it via social media, but of course, even though this can be said to be easy, there are still Things to pay attention to are skills in speaking, if the marketing is in the form of videos or skills in attracting lots of people, which of course not everyone has, only those who have a high sense of confidence usually have the courage to speak in front of lots of people.

Also, of course the products we market are the same as what other people have done, so there will be competition here, but of course we can excel if we have interesting ideas in marketing and try to keep the price affordable, I mean don't make too much profit. of one product because it will usually be difficult, it is better to take for a little of one product but sales continue to increase.

Like I said, when you have money, there will be a lot of people willing to do those jobs for you as long as you can pay them the salary they want. And during the time you let them help you run your business, you have enough time to learn all you need. Let's look at reality and like I said, why do many highly educated people work and become employees? Simply because they don't have money, while you are probably no stranger to the story of many people who do not have expertise in a business field but they are still the owners of that business. Let's take Elon's example, is he running Twitter, does he have experience in social media? No, he just bought it because he loves it but he is the boss and there are a lot of talented people working for him. In business, money is still the most powerful factor.

The hardest thing in the world is to convince someone to sell your product to them. so affiliate marketing is not an easy task. you will only get commission from here if you can sell the product. If you can sell other people's products, why can't you start your own business?  Yes business requires capital but here you don't need to use much capital in the beginning. you can start the business on a small scale and then gradually scale it up. I don't think it's a standard plan to earn commission by selling other people's products through marketing

Affiliate marketing is a job that takes time to make yourself strong at. Very few keep themselves focused and move forward, whereas the majority leave the market in between and look for better earning opportunities. These days, affiliate marketing is dominated by social media influencers. In this fast-moving world, we've got lots and lots of opportunities, we need to be prepared. This way, it is good to find out one's own interest and move on from it.

Being passionate about the work you do will surely bring you money in the long run. If you have the right vision, there are platforms that can help with funding and turn your plan into a real-time product. This is how businesses are progressing, and we need to be good enough with better understanding and knowledge.

I really agree, there are many factors that are connected to business, but money is the main thing in business itself, and it cannot be denied. After that, there is an opportunity to do this business supported by credibility that can make people trust, because of good performance and skills in managing whatever will be done in the business.
Once our business is running well and successfully and is trusted by many people, money is no longer the main thing, because investors will come themselves to be able to provide funds or join the business.

I disagree with that we don't need money totally to Start up a business. I want to tell you that there is no business without money and time invested on it, for example before you start affiliate market, you need the  internet skill and will pay to learn properly. after which you'll buy a new device either laptop or mobile phone including the data you spent online each day to work. So you can see that there is no business you will not at least spend a thangible amount of money. I think the title of this your thread should be "starting up a business with the least capital" I

That's right, even if it's small, all businesses need money or capital.
I think OP intention to start a business is not always focused on capital. Sometimes there are tools that are around us or that we use to start a business, for example a smartphone which almost everyone now has, that can be capital for us to start a business olnine.
So what the OP said is correct, it can be considered that a business can be started without capital so don't be afraid to start a business, the idea that you have to have capital first to start a business must be changed.

Capital is not the only thing that should be considered, the same time it is important because without capital I don’t think the business can kick start. Except it is no longer a business but as far it is business involved capital is important. And their is a big difference between between skill and business because if your talking about business you capital to invest, and skill is just for you to earn from and you don’t need money to start the only thing you need to invest is time and dedication to what you are learning. Because it’s just as if you want to invest in bitcoin without money is that even possible. And you must not do business just because everyone wants to invest you can also get a skill and that way you have something to fetch you money because starting up a business is more challenging than previous years the competition is high in the markets, and demand is very important, so when making a decision it is better to choose wisely what you want to do, either business or skill, and if you want to engage in doing the two then it’s not bad.


And like I replied before if it is business there is no way you can side line capital that’s is part of the fundamental in establishing a business. And business comes with a lot of responsibilities. Starting from a business idea then down to plan of implementation and establishment that is were capital comes in because you need capital to develop that stage. Then management follows because every good business needs good management to sustain the business, if not the business might not survive. Their are factors that keeps the business running and earning the trust of your customers also matters a lot. And that is why I said business comes with a lot of responsibility, skill is also a good option to consider since all we are after is money.

Convincing other people about the products we market is not an easy thing to do and the products we offer must of course be of good quality so that we can offer them to other people. Building a business certainly requires capital and this really depends on the business we are going to build. However, if we are able to start with a little capital, I don't think there's anything wrong with it, because if we can run it well, of course the business we run will develop well.

honestly agree with this take,
starting out business without capital is just unrealistic, even starting out affiliate marketing we required to pay electricity and the tools that support the entire work flow.
there's just no free lunch these days, if the term least capital is used it does make a lot more sense as you said earlier.
everything requires money to start up, even how small it is, a starting capital will always be considered to start up a business.
maybe the only thing that won't take capital to start is offering service such as being plumber and so on, you can learn it by self taught.
then you can offer the hard work of yours and the time spent in exchange of money such as plumbing, but even this job needs the right tool to start.

That's why there are strategies in marketing and someone has to learn that depending on the experience that he's got.

Aside from the quality, you really have to build network and connection to your future and potential customers and prospects.

Someone can start with having nothing to little or big, depending on your capacity as a businessman.

No matter what people say, money is always needed in business. Some businesses close just because they do not have enough money to operate anymore even if the concept of the business is good. A good business idea does not always mean it will be profitable immediately.

This is why you should partner up with other people who would be invest in your business. Yes you would be splitting up the profit but at least you’ have enough funding.

I think it has a greater level of risk, we don't understand it yet and we tell other people to run it, it's a very big risk, such as fraud or corruption or other things that are deliberately utilized by the people we hire to run our business, not to mention the risk of failure, Even though we hire professionals, it doesn't necessarily go according to the expectations we want, because after all business is business, we can't let other people take care of it without us understanding it, it would be very lucky if the people we hire are very honest and can be trusted, but what if it's the other way around, a very big loss might be swallowed if the system is like that.

I think the most powerful capital is a mindset not money, because with a mindset even if we go bankrupt it will easily get up again and again build a business even though it loses money several times.

Running affiliate marketing not only requires communication skills, but also requires solid skills in marketing, sales, and understanding products so that they can influence other people's purchases. Moreover, competition in the affiliate market can be very fierce, therefore you need good creativity to be able to compete to be successful.

Yes it is true in all cases that the more investment in a business the more profit it will make. However it will not end without increasing investment in all established businesses, maybe the scope of the business will not increase. But since the business is dependent on the demand, the demand will also increase as the scope of the business increases. And if it is not possible to supply with the increased demand it will gradually decline. Again even if it is possible to establish a business without capital it will be like 'eating day in and day out'.

No depend on situation since you can sell your idea to some potential clients. That's why there's what we called crowd funding and some businessman want to venture on that since they don't have some funds to use to operate their ideas then convert it as a running business.

There's lot of knowledge can be learn on this video or article https://www.shopify.com/ph/blog/start-business-without-money so hopefully those people have unique ideas can learn from this and try to work out all their potential plans.

Sometimes its not all about the money but your idea that can solve certain problems in the world since that can be convert into good sales.

Not only that, affiliate marketing is something which one needs a mentor to excel in it. Anyone trying to learn on his own might no get the right approach to be good at it. There must be someone willing to devote the time to guide you on how to go about sales and advertising in the ling run. And we all know that the number of audience the more sales one can have. What annoys me the most it is not an actual skill because what I see most affiliate marketers doing is selling affiliate courses to people who may or may not use the course for anything. There is no skill in doing that rather it's just a means to deceive people into buying their courses.

I think this post is relevant, because it is impossible to establish any business without capital, any business will stand well, move with capital, whether it is a small or large business, we should hold capital so that the investment lasts before anything else. but I don't know why some people think that you can invest without having enough capital. I don't know where it works, does it work in some civilized countries where they appear then loans from Banks to set up a business so I am confused by this statement because I don't really know what exactly this discussion means because since long time I see business owners and There is No Business in my neighborhood that has nothing to do with money. :)

In the past, every time we wanted to open a business, we had to have capital so that we could run the business to meet all the needs we wanted to trade, but now we can run a business without having to spend capital, we only need a cellphone or laptop to do affiliate marketing, there we can sell. without having to spend capital, we just promote it and then we can make money, so everyone has their own way of making money.

I think there is no business that does not have capital. We cannot define capital as money alone. Capital is the same as the preparations we already have to start a business. I agree with what you said. Affiliate business is not as easy as it seems. To become a successful affiliate you need extensive connections and engagement. To get engagement you have to attract people's attention. You have to become a content creator and create social media that can become an ecosystem where you spread your referral link. It's not as easy as it seems. What you need here is how to get lots of followers on your social media. It requires "capital" in the form of connections that have been obtained from parents or money to start creating content.

Capital can be in many forms.  The time that you will spend to learn and grow your business is one of your main capital, even though no monetary capital but you need to invest human capital in your business.  Each individual's time is precious, including you.  The time that you will spend on growing your business is the time that you will spend less on other things such as leisure, family, academics.

Indeed, all businesses require capital. It's just that we always think that capital must be in the form of money, even though apart from money, we can also start a business, at least have capital to be able to speak fluently, logically, realistically, easily understood if we really want to become an affiliate so that people are easily interested in the product what we convey.

Capital is also needed, but not as much as other businesses which require a lot of capital. I understand what you mean, any business requires capital to buy this or that, if you talk like that it's not wrong, but we can run a business from the bottom with small capital and there are lots of businesses that can be done in the digital era like now. All it takes is persistence, hard work and consistency. In this era of technology, there are businesses that only need smartphones and the internet to make money.

I totally agree with you capital as we always look at shouldn't be only on monetary perspective most of the business that one don't put in money as capital take more energy time all a man need to even generate, there is saying that what deprived you of other things may be equivalent or even greater than those other things your deprived I think the effort made us another dimension of capital.

If you want to start a business in the trading sector, of course this requires capital that can be used to buy an item that we will trade, and the business you mentioned, I think, has also done this in the past, but what is different is that I think Nowadays, with advances in technology, we will be able to sell without having to go directly to potential buyers because everyone can see the items we are selling on their cellphones and from that we will get buyers.

I think what he means is capital in the form of money. Even though we have in-depth knowledge in a field, we cannot run it and develop it without capital. However, I think all of that can be done, even without capital. There are many things to do when we don't have capital, but want to run a business. Well, the first suggestion is to get a job, and that's a common thing. Another is looking for capital by selling skills, this can happen at the same time when you run a business without capital, but by selling the skills you have. And the other is looking for investors. Yes, there are many people out there who want to grow their money into more, but they don't have ideas, or are lazy about running a business. So, you just need to look for and come to them, bring a proposal, and pray that your request is accepted.

So many people today never believed that it is possible to start a business without capital. Some people today only think about having a thousands or millions worth of business without thinking about how to start. There is one thing about business either capital or non capital base business which is " experience ". I remembered during my secondary school days when my mom was supplying water leaf, vegetable, orange, and lots more to elf presently known as total now. Then my mom was buying four bunch of water leaf 100. When I think about it, I realized the people bringing this water leaf to her was making money. And then water leaf was every where. Water leaf was never hard or scarce to get. One day I called my mom, I told her I want to be supplying her water leaf too and she was very happy. I started it first all alone. My first supply to her was two bags of 25kg which gave me about a thousand five hundred. I was so happy. I took it as a point of duty everyday. Before you know I took it as a business that I even have to bring in two of my friends. Even when my mom stop supplying I was still doing water leaf business. All the water leaf then I never spent a Kobo to start with the business because I have to discover the source were I was getting it for free without anyone interference. My friend and I went to extent of going to our various farm land after school just to get the water leaf to enable us remain in business. So it is very possible to start a business without capital. It most not be that multi million business, at least we can start from someone where. It is very important to have that basic knowledge of business which is managing it before we can aim higher.

Like freelancing business? It's possible to sell goods or products that you are not really the rightful owners but you are just advertising with your referral link but if someone buys the product you will get paid for it. That's a business one can start without capital.

Yes, that's right, because current technological developments are very significant, the average young person today doesn't have a job because they don't know how to take advantage of this very open technology, maybe they think they have to have a lot of capital, even though it's just because of limited social interactions.

Most people keep talking about affiliate marketing as though its a piece of cake. The truth remains and that is it comes with its own set of challenges. Patience is required as it takes time for one to excel in it just like every other business. It involves lots of dedication, data and regular power supply (i.e. in areas where constant power supply is a challenge) to ensure your gadget are always charged. To be fair, anyone thinking of venturing into affiliate marketing will have to first of all, find an alternative source of income to compliment it in other for such a person to be able to afford the little expenses that goes along with it. Data, they say is life and in many part of the world, especially developing and under developed nations, getting good and lasting data requires money . Indeed, Nothing is free in free town.   

This assumption that you need a million-dollar launch to start a business is nonsense. Social pressure is holding back a generation of entrepreneurs. Yes, I understand. We're often shown overnight success stories, people who go from zero to hero in an instant. But let's be honest—those are exceptions. The majority of successful enterprises started small. Amazon sold books from his garage. Google began as a dorm room experiment. They had an idea and a lot of hustle, not millions

However, we've built a culture of celebrating huge wins. We honor the great winners but overlook the underdogs who are working hard and constructing something from nothing. This false narrative that you need to have it all worked out before starting is a problem. It makes people unwilling to start, risk, and fail

It is practically difficult to start a business without capital. Even the small businesses that people think can be started with nothing require some forms of financial commitment. Take for instance, to start an affiliate marketing, a good phone or laptop is needed, internet subscription is needed and cost electricity is another important factor. Without these, it becomes impossible to venture into such businesses. I don't know if there are countries where some or all these are made available to the citizens free of church but in my country, you have to provide and pay for everything yourself without any help from anybody, not even the government.

Actually technology have created new ways of making money but unfortunately, many people are yet to see the opportunities. Although there is growing awareness now as many people are now coming to understand that conventional jobs are not the way to go because they just keep you within a limit. To achieve anything significant, the individual have to go extra miles in exploring other areas and Agriculture and the digital space are two booming areas people are printing money from, leveraging on technology.

Buyer-consumer relationships can come to a standstill, so it's important for companies to handle complaints correctly or to share the problem in the right way, and for companies to respond to consumer issues (https://help-center.pissedconsumer.com/consumer-issues-step-by-step-guide/) correctly to avoid further escalation of problems and negative experiences.

Yes, that's the kind of business that doesn't need any capital. You sell the product of others and this can be done through dropshipping too.

Also, about advertising. If you don't like to get into sales then learn how to advertise products on different platforms. There are jobs that are requiring someone's expertise through it.

So, if you're a skilled guy in marketing and ads campaigns even if it's a kind of job. You can treat it as a business without capital too. You sell your service as a business.

I agree with your way of thinking and indeed it can be done for business without capital. Just suggest to our colleagues be able to buy from us being with other people's products, and we will get a % according to what we promote can be sold, so there is no need for capital to buy the product at the beginning but only by going live, later when we have collected enough funds then we can do the work ourselves without promoting other people, agree this is a business without capital.
