I want to ask you, comrades, who both started their first steps in Internet commerce?
Where did you take an initial capital, as I think, without it still has nothing to do, and money, of course not. Where to get seed money to promote your business or site?

Had heard that people are simply asking for money on their online forums. And the good people helped in the endeavor. You know these people? Could you be the kind of person who do not mind $ 5 on the development of a stranger?

If you have not only thought on this topic, but at least some or the amount of "excess" money, you can help me a lot! Not to mention the fact that you can be my partner. And in the future earn what I started too.

Perhaps this topic may not seem professional, but think of yourself, you also once started with no experience...

I hope for your understanding.

There are plenty of ways to get started online without having a budget. First, you need to know EXACTLY and SPECIFICALLY what you want to accomplish. Do you intend to earn commissions selling an affiliate product using a review-type of web site or blog? Do you intend to sell stuff on eBay? Generate leads to promote a network marketing opportunity?

Once you have decided what you want to accomplish, search for information related to how to product that result online. You'll find plenty of free information available. Then get a FREE blog from wordpress.com or blogger.com or even free hosting from a bazillion places that offer free hosting.

Use the free google keyword tool to do your research. Write content. Use pingler and ping.fm to get free backlinks and submit free classified ads and articles to the free article directories.

LOTS of ways to get going without a bankroll.

But I'am trying to to sell a product that only a certain group of people - it'scalling cards. And posting information on blogs and free ads is not likely buyers ...
For backlinks is probably good, but sales are not affected. I think so. Need targeted ads, but she paid...

I probably tried several methods of making money when I first started in doing online and offline business.
Just by being here on the BN, I've learned to get to know who I am talking to and most importantly to brand myself with my warm market.
Nobody would begin to listen to you if they do not know you or familiar with what you are about.
The best lesson I've learned is to let people get to know you and then they will listen to what you have to say.

This thread is really interesting, what Rob says is right ,I use the same methods as he does, it really is all about people knowing liking and trusting you for what you are doing and promoting.results don't come overnight, BUT they do come, if you stick at it. Don't forget you are your OWN rep, You incorporated.

i started with my warm market first then started engaging others through networking & My list has built from there. I did EXACTLY what Mike Teachers in MS and became a student of Marketing and being a leader. It works VERY effectively

I hope this is of some value & benefit to you.

Get your self a copy of Magnetic Sponsoring and Building on a Budget by Mike Dillard. This would be a great place to start without spending a lot of money and you will learn a lot to help you achieve the things you are trying to do. Your business is You Inc, brand yourself, give freely and expect NOTHING in return, help everyone you possibly can, post in the BN forums, don't criticize others, write articles for Better Networker, listen to all the great teachers on here as most of them have been through what you are now going through.

Remember as you said, everyone had to start somewhere. Stay away from all the negative crap, always be willing to learn new things and never, never, NEVER give up or quit. If you don't think you can do it, then you won't. If you know you can, then you will...even though it may be very hard.

I am a great believer in Boot-Strapping.

Start small and plow back into the business as you earn. Keep a full or part time job if possible so that you don't need the income from the business until you have grown it sufficiently.

You need to show commitment yourself and risk your own funds and time before you can ask anyone else to invest in your business.

Best wishes
