There's a constant sort of fib that circulates around the business opportunity world.
Unfortunately people fall for it much too often.
That fib is that you can start a business with no "start-up" capital.
I'm here to tell ya it's just not true.
There's always going to be some expense to get your business off of the ground.
Most likely, that's going to be marketing expenses.
However there's nothing to say that it must be ultra difficult to get this money.
One of the best things that I think is available to people is freelancing.
It's likely that you have some sort of skill that you can offer to other online marketers, or offline for that matter, that you can get paid to do.
People will pay good money for everything from web design, to writing content, to graphic design...
all the way to bookmarking sites, getting backlinks, and even making comments on other people's blogs.
How simple is that? So how do you get started? It's fairly easy actually.
The first thing is to obviously figure out what service you're going to offer.
After that you're going to go to where the people are who will need your services.
Sounds simple but you'd never believe how many people just don't get that simple concept.
There are various freelancers' sites that you can become a member of, and be allowed to bid for jobs that are being offered.
Elance is definitely the best known but there are plenty of others.
Some are actually better for certain skills than others, so it's important to keep this mind.
If you're a writer, then Elance is probably best for you...
but don't forget the forums where marketers and web developers hang out.
Also, Craigslist is free to post at, or better yet to search for people looking for a writer.
If you're tech savvy, then you'll want to consider both Elance as well as Scriptlance.
These are the two places that people generally go to look for service providers in this area.
If you're an expert in a field, and you want to quickly get paid for that expertise, then you can always head over to Guru.
com and offer your expertise up.
Marketers are constantly looking for an expert to interview, and they'll pay you for that interview pretty well...
especially if they know that they'll be getting a good ROI from your knowledge.
So then once you provide your services, and get paid, you then have money to start up your business, or add to the funds to grow your business.
Not only that but you'll likely learn something very useful in the process.
