    go for the online survey programs...you can find a lot many of those and they can give you an initial start and later you can shift to affiliate marketing...

    Start offering some kind of service that you are good at - e.g. I started my online business designing logos for $10. Offer something that you are good at - e.g. design, programming, writing, etc.

    You can become an affiliate and resell products or scripts online without financial investments.

    Well they have a saying to make money you need money.

    At least with an online website, it is possible to get it up and running for free or for under 30 euros per year. Just remember that in business you get what you pay for. So if you don't invest much time or money into your website, your user won't have a reason to stay or to click on anything in your site.

    You need to pick a topic and it's best you focus on something you enjoy doing.

    Create your own site, make your ads and after some month when the site will be established a little bit then start affiliate marketing. I think this process is time consuming but If you can stand your site and sell products then you can earn a handsome amount. This is the safest and profitable online business without investment but you'll have to work hard to establish your site.

    With 0 investment, you may struggle.

    With a small investment, then there's a variety of things you can do.

    Money helps, with everything, so don't expect to become a millionaire without spending a dime - unless you've got rich parents.

    Doing something you're good at should always be a number 1. A plus would be if you're REALLY good at it AND it's something people greatly require or request. Web design is a good example. But as I said before, money helps. If you want to advertise it online, yes, you can post in forums etc but there will come a time when you really need to focus your time on getting the work done rather than scrapping in the clients yourself.

    Another option is, something I was never really too keen on but now that I've given it some time of day I'd recommend it - Affiliate Marketing. A good option, but again, SOME investment is need i.e. a domain name, hosting, marketing. If you're determined not to spend any money on these, there are always ways you can get free domains and hosting in which you can spend the money saved there on other things to help out.

    Good luck with it.

    its almost impossible to start a business without spending even a penny but if it is a business with the least investment, try to sell product or services you can do yourself that way you are marketing yourself and your abilities :)

    The easiest, and probably best, way to start with no money is to offer a service, writing, graphic design, website design, anything you are good at

    It is possible to start your business with a product of your own for no money, although I wouldn't recommend it as you do get what you pay for

    Just search on google and you can find free domain registration, free webhosting, free affiliate programs, even free plr products that you can make into your own

    But remember the old adage though, time is money

    If you want to do it with no money, be prepared to put a LOT of time into it

    You can start off using free blog software - and build a quality website, and then move to a real domain.

    When you say 0 you don't really mean 0$?
    The idea is that you will have a minimum of: domain + hosting + site installation?
    I would suggest affiliate marketing ... but the costs above you will need to make them ... because if a potential client doesn't see some investment from your part ... I would buy anything from a blogspot domain.

    There are ways to start making money without investment. For hosting and domain, you can use free blogspot. Then you can try to find a way to monetize it. There are pay per click like adsense, pay per sale like clickbank, pay per download like filesonic and many more.

    Its really hard to find something with $0 investment. Because you would need to spend a lot of time on your site or project, if you are going to do the link building and the SEO yourself. But like they say, time is money.

    Consider one more thing: a product is worth how much it costs.
