How to make some start up capital?

Discussion in 'General Business' started by highrider21, Oct 22, 2008.

    Does anyone know of any good ways to make some start-up capital to re-invest in an online business. I only want to make like $100 or so that I can use to buy hosting and domains. Does any one know how I can do this without investing any money or very little money and that is relatively quick? I thought about selling some of my stuff on ebay, but I realized I don't have anything that I could sell on ebay. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    $100 is very low, try asking family members for a loan.

    If you are still schooling, you could save some pocket money or do some odd-jobs or work part-time in say McDonalds or the likes. If you are working, you could keep some money at the side each time you get your salary. Basically, if you are not in the habit of saving, you could take this as the motivation to do so. Just cut down on some of the unnecessaries and you will get there quite fast.

    You should have at least around $20 lying around somewhere, that is enough to buy a few domains and quickly reselling them for small profit. You could be at $100 before you know it, and remember more money = more profit

    What are your skills? Depending on your skill set, you can do freelance work as a coder, designer, content writer at the BST section of DP. You'll earn what you need in a week's time, considering that you are still building a client base.

    Keep going! Good luck to you!

    I don't mean to be audacious but if you aren't aware of methods to obtain a minimal amount of money such as $100 for "start up capital", then you really shouldn't be jumping into investing.

    Regardless of my opinion, you can submit articles to Associated Content for profit, you can sign up on one of those cheesy survey websites and score a few bucks, or my personal favorite - get a job and earn guaranteed cold hard cash

    Get a job mate. Or as someone said above, hit your family up for it. It is only $100.

    If you are serious about your business and you only require $100 you could borrow the money but you have to be sure your business will be able to make a profit so you can pay back. It is very important to believe in something you put your money in. Get a part time job so you can invest larger amount. More money you invest more money you make if you play the game smart.

    The best way to make some money to invest back into your business, is to provide some services to raise the money. You can write articles, post offers to submit websites to directories for others, offer to do social bookmarking, make a squidoo lens - any of the things that many people outsource every day.

    You can always register and post to provide these services on some of the freelance sites - you could likely make $100 fairly easily. Provide good service, do a good job and you can keep getting work like that to keep putting back into building your business.
