    If you have the right ideas and are determined enough, you can start a business with no money.

    Thanks,
    John

    Realistically?

    No.

    However, it can 'buy' you a lot of frustrations as you will continue to run up against wall after wall in trying to develop and grow your business over the short term. However, there are plenty who will tell you it can be done, and everything you can find on the forums, and millions await.

    Do me a favor. Check back in 3-6 months and tell me how good their 'hot tips' worked out for you.

    do you know any skills such as xhtml/css? If you can develope your own site for free, then sure! All you need is hosting, domain, a plan and patience!

    edit: depends on what you want too! If your looking for an online store to sell products you already own, then sure. You can find free carts that will get you started.

    Yes I believe it is. If you used free hosting and used the $25 to buy a good domain name. There is opportunity to gain enough money to purchase your own hosting and expand from there. It would be hard but not impossible :) Good luck!

    I started about 2 1/2 years ago with a $7.00 Domain and $3.00 per month hosting. Low budget was my game. You have to learn a bunch...but it can be done.

    I started a site for $20. Now I it's worth $10k. You have to work extra hard and have knowledge of what your doing.

    Realistically:

    if you don't want custom design, code, you use free software like WordPress, and you know where and how to advertise for free, even $10 is fine, it will just take more time

    Well if you have better skill like writing, designing or anything to web development then $25 is enough to start your own business with attractive website and build your own portfolio by providing free service for limited time, it will be good for your business.

    Why to invest,when you have hard working nature and talent.if u really want to invest then try to take a domain and hosting for a website.For other work you need not invest just search for a oppurtunity.

    You don't need anything. If you can, start with blogspot and earn some money.

    Online business is like any other business, it needs your time, money and effort. First of all identify your skills and then go after it...Start free, then build up... Otherwise, Overheads consumes money too ...so invest wisely and have patience...Best of Luck!!
