    What are you thinking of getting into? $200 is a bit to start with, my gran offered $50,000 if I ever wanted to do something, but that's still a bit moderate in my opinion. You first need to figure out what you want to do, try looking into similar companies and see how they started out. You know, it's not just about buying a domain and hosting, it's more about being able to get someone to develop your product, how do you expect to deliver, how are you going to ship it out, how much are you willing to put into advertising it.

    What kind of business do you want to own? You've got to figure that part out first. Do you have a business plan? A marketing plan? Mapping out what you're going to do and implementing it in an organized way will play a BIG part in determining whether you'll be successful or not. Figure that stuff out first, then put your plan into action.

    Good luck!

    The whole "You have to have money to make money thing" is a myth, when spoken in general anyway. Yes, it does apply to many business (most businesses actually), but anyone who implies you have to have money to start up a business and make money is just setting you up for failure before you begin.

    In fact, starting a business without any significant capital is a good thing for you. It helps you learn you don't have to go spend thousands of dollars to see a profit, and in larger business ventures, you will be successful for it.

    That's the whole concept behind "bootstrapping". OK, say I have $200 dollars. I go buy a cheap lawn mower at a garage sale, enough gas to mow one or two yards, and print up a hundred fliers and hand them out. I get a few jobs, make a profit, and use that money to buy more gas, hand out more fliers, and mow more yards. Eventually I buy a bigger mower so I can do more yards, and switch to more effective advertising. Then using the money I made from that, move on to even more advertising, eventually hiring a crew and owning a large-scale business.

    In fact, that's how most successful businesses were started. Dude, pizza hut was created by two people with $600 cash and a desire to succeed.

    Start by thinking about what you are already good at, or what you know. If you're interested in service jobs, maybe you're good at fixing computers, or detailing cars (you can make $150+ for detailing an SUV!).

    Maybe you can start up a blog or website for little or even no cost and make money from advertisements and affiliates.

    Whatever you choose, if you work harder AND smarter, you will succeed. Map out your plan of action, put a lot of thought into it, and break your back working on it, and I guarantee you it will take off. :)

    I agree. I think it comes down to whether you prefer to invest money or time. For example, online you can market your website by submitting articles, SEO, social bookmarking campaigns, posting on forums, using free classifieds, etc. None of that costs a thing, but it does take TIME, whereas with paid advertising like Pay Per Click, you can invest less time, but you have to spend MONEY. So it really depends on which is more important to you (time is money, afterall):)

    if you're a newcomer to multilevel marketing need to learn the ropes affiliate programs can earn you a large amount of money. Our not talking about had sensor add words or anything else which is talking about a simple sensible human business that people use every day such as pet food.

    Now if you can grasp that has as simple as it sounds is as simple as can be.If you're asking this question in general it sounds like you have entrepreneurship skills and you. Now that says a lot about a kid who's only 17 years old I used to be in your shoes I was a entrepreneur for years I used to pump gas at a gas station to Penny to buy chili cheese fries and get a national launch school.

    I think you hit it to the right place at the right time Internet teaches people a lot about making money online - making money as whole as being entrepreneurs and is highly skill level marketers.


    never be afraid to ask anyone about earning money because multilevel marketing is actually $1 billion business is making people richer than they could ever imagine.

    Hmm that's a tough one. It's not really "which program is the best?" You should be asking "What can I sell and how will I sell it?" Do you know how to research a product to find out if there's a demand for it? Do you know how to drive traffic to a website? Do you know how to lead people to buy once they're on your website? Do you have a business plan? A marketing plan?

    Do you know how to write articles?

    Do you understand Pay-Per-Click advertising?

    Do you understand SEO?

    Social bookmarking?

    Joint Ventures?

    I'm not saying this to discourage you, just to be sure you have realistic expectations about making money online, and a definite PLAN for how you're going to accomplish it. There's a HUGE learning curve that a lot of people take for granted when they get into this stuff. They think they'll be making enough money in a few months to live off of and that rarely happens.

    Would you be willing to work at your affiliate marketing business for a few months without seeing anything in return? If you can do that comfortably, then affiliate marketing might be for you. You CAN make an extremely good living from it. But know what you're getting into beforehand. If you need money NOW, then it might not be the thing for you, and you might be better off assessing what skills you have and going with freelancing or something instead. I really hope that helps.
