The age of the internet made it cheaper than ever to get your business idea out to the whole world with the most basic of computers. You will likely need to raise some small amount of starting capital at the beginning but it depends on your business venture, as you can often get very creative - like drop shipping on ebay or creating logos on fiverr. Competition is fierce online though, so you have to be willing to compete against people who may earn 10% of your wage in a developed economy, unless you can gain the edge with a unique selling point. The cost of living difference around the world can be huge, so creating an established and independent business with a solid reputation is the distinguishing factor you need.

There’s a lot of options now where you can start doing side hustle or business without having any capital as long as you have the tools to start with like for instance the online services which is the current trend. Virtual assistant support can also be consider as your business where you can start by just simply offering services based on your niche. Affiliate market can also be consider, all you have to do is to build your profit and have a client where they can trust you. In crypto as well, being a bounty hunter can be consider as your business especially if you are just doing this as your extra source of income.

Nowadays, if we have the desire, anything can be done, if we don't have capital, we have to be able to read opportunities and also maintain relationships. With relationships, friends will help with creative ideas so that like now, if you can join a forum with just an ordinary smartphone, you will get unlimited profits, currently almost all media platforms are paid at high prices in dollars, which for basic capital we can have an internet connection to go online, one day and one hour will also make a profit but it must be continuous every day. After getting these profits, use the capital to expand other businesses.

Hmm, I'm not so sure about it... Affiliate marketing is a concept which works more or less when you have money to invest in advertisement, spamming your affiliate links on different websites and niches of the internet. I don't think it's a great kind of business to venture into, because it's risky, as the competition for referrals is huge, so you might end not seeing any returns after all, despite having spent a lot of money and also time on this endeavour.

If you work on this area, but instead of hunting referrals you work with commissions over sales made, it's another complicated deal, because you have to be highly influential over a large public in order to make their purchases revert in profit for you. And to be influential, you have to invest money, although in the end there are serious chances the profit made won't be enough to cover the investment made on ads.

I'm not saying this concept doesn't work. I just think it's not going to work for most people here who are probably by themselves in this life trying to make some money without having to involve the cooperation of other people in the process.

It is very possible to build a business without capital by someone who has special skills in this digital era. There are many services you can offer - affiliates may be one of them, but there are many others that can also be profitable rather than just one.

I can imagine YouTubers or content creators as those who earn income with or without capital. Affiliates are one of them that is also profitable - you can even become a dropshipper.

Not only affiliate marketing but any service oriented business where you are providing services are a business without capital like freelancing for projects like web designing, SEO/SEM, Affiliate or any form of digital marketing but one should remember here there is no capital invested apart from any charges or fee you have incurred while learning these skill but your experience and time you have spent to master it is the capital here.

  One of the ways that business can be done without capital is affiliate marketing. In this aspect, the things you need are your time and using of your brain to talk and convince your customers to buy the product.
Capital is not necessary in this kind of business, you have the products then, describe it so as to influence buyers to buy it. In this aspect of the business, your gains depends on how you work hard.

  Also, you can start a business without a capital by staying in between the seller and the buyer while the negotiations move on.
  Some time even the dealers of land and building behave like that. They will go in search of buyers based on a specific percentage.

Affiliate marketing indeed is an option but there will still be a capital with the device you will be using in order to make a sale. What's on my mind is consider providing a service to other people which will allow you to earn money and make it as your capital to venture different businesses. Rather than thinking of wht business won't require you capital, think more of why it is needed. No business succeeds without suffering from any failure. On those failures, your capital will allow you to continue or lengthen its existence and of course for improvement in the future. If you really want no capital at al then choose to be an employee 'coz there's nothing wrong being one. If you're really into business and entrepreneurship, it could be made possible afterwards. If business is that easy, then many business owners should be rich by now and that more people will also do the same thing

There's no way a person can starting a business without a capital this is what they call impossibility can never be possible. Because money is used to make money there's no any way that you're going to make money without spending the money first, you most have to invest in yourself first before people's can invest in you. Even this affiliate market you're stated about I don't think you can start it without include some of amount of money, in this life we're living in now nothing good come easy, you most have to make uses of yourself before begin earning online business and even that one is also part of capital.
But to be honest this affiliate market it has helped a lot of people's especially those that graduate and there's no government job for them, with this affiliate market many of youths are survive, since is just legitimate online business that you can only stay at your home or any where the person like and earning a lot of money with peace of mind.

Affiliate marketing will not be recommended as a business but as a promotion or just an advertisement, and even with that, you can’t jump in without knowledge, a phone, a laptop, and Wi-Fi. Because it is usually based on online practice, if you don’t have those items, you can’t start the job until you are able to purchase all of them. The money you will use to have all of those items is called what? If you say you can start without a capital.
 
Furthermore, if you don’t know the real definition of business, let me break it down for you. Business can be defined in a simple term as a scheme or process in which an individual, a group, or an organisation are capable of investing or grinding up their money to produce a good or to render a service in order to gain a profit. 
 
If I am not mistaken, this definition doesn’t explain business as a source of advertising but as a source of investment. So before you call something a business, you have to confirm first if it is a job or business, but advertisements simply mean helping someone to promote their goods, for which you will be paid for the service you render, and that payment service is the process of paying your employee, so affiliate marketing simply means a job of promoting and advertisement, not a business. 

Too bad, pursuing success doesn't pay the bill and it doesn't pay the manpower and necessary supplies that you're going to need when you build a business, you're definitely going to need some kind of monetary support to start a business, I don't believe that anyone can start a business at this day and age without a capital and any person that says so will not be welcome to me with an open arms because the one thing that comes to my mind when it comes to this kind of thing is Ponzi schemes, you don't need a capital in a Ponzi scheme since you're selling something that doesn't exist which is ungodly returns to your investors.

Not like that, if you focus on money you will see how you can't afford it, even though you already have it, even though everyone doesn't have the quality of internet and simple facilities that you mentioned in your daily activities.
It can be said that it is also capital and you already have it, don't omit the little things and focus on money alone, if only focused on money they will think being an affiliate is difficult too because to increase insight into the marketing we do in fact require money to do marketing.

If someone realizes that capital is not just about money and he already has it, it is likely that psychologically if the human being has a desire, he will definitely do it. try to change the way you think and value things in your life, sir, to be more valuable and be able to start everything even though you don't have a lot of money.

I agree with you, even the skills that we have are considered capital in my opinion, if we don't have any skills at all it can be said without capital, also the same is the case financially. Of course, starting a business with no capital is not right, but the right thing is with minimal capital. There are some people who often say reckless capital, maybe they are a group of people who start a business but without adequate skills and finances so they can say reckless capital. Of course, marketing also requires capital even with an internet connection because it is a small capital not without capital.

Everything requires capital, initial capital as I said with the skills you have and must be honed again as well as what you said by buying a new property that is more adequate or with something else.

But you have to have something that can help you market it, such as stationery, computers, and others. You may not need to spend any money to get started, but these are the tools you must have before you start. If you try affiliate marketing offline, you need a vehicle to travel and offer it to others.
If you mean by capital that you don't need to spend money, what you say is right. Someone can even create a free site like a blog to market their products online.
You can also tell other people about your product so they want to buy and use the product.

I want to ask you, are you into one? The reason why I'm asking that affiliate and digital marketing you see people discuss every day, there are more into it and it's not everything especially the success stories you see when you venture inti it, you will mostly likely settle for more or less because if indeed it's a booming place, many people would be there.

Another thing that makes one a successful affiliate digital marketing is the platform favour's your place of jurisdictions, if you are coming from a place that are not allowed to use the platform, you wouldn't be able to have access like others.


It's not all business you can run through a affiliated marketing, for instance you have passion into selling consumable products but you want to start but then the platform only sells books, if you don't have the skill to market books you wouldn't be able to sell anyone.

If you have a business and you don't have the funds to make one, apply for Small and medium enterprises and many venture capitals for money, if your project/business is solid you will go home with a paycheck.

I beg to disagree

If you are promoting someone’s project, where would you do it? Would you do it online or physically? If you are doing it online you need to have a device. That’s money or capital already. If you are going to promote it on public places then traveling towards that place already requires money.

Businesses need money but the key here is to have the least amount of capital possible for the maximum profit.

You are wrong, no business can be started without capital, the right thing is to start a business with minimal capital, for example by using the equipment you already have without having to buy a new one.
Affiliate marketing still requires capital, for example an internet connection or a website that has high traffic or if you use social media then you have to have a lot of followers and to get followers you have to take the time to build your account well, and actually affiliate marketing is not easy.
Theories for becoming a successful affiliate marketer are scattered on Google, but the results for each person are different, and becoming an expert in affiliate marketing takes time.

Capital can be categorized into several types, such as cash and non cash capital, enthusiasm for running a business, basic knowledge and skills. I agree that if you want to get involved in any business you need capital, affiliate marketing business also requires capital such as skills and basic knowledge even though it doesn't depend too much on financial sources. Another capital needed to run this business is the ability to influence other people in making purchasing decisions regarding a product or service being promoted. This business also requires patience and hard work so that the products offered can be successfully accepted by consumers and have broader knowledge or understanding of the products or services offered.

I agree with you, of course everyone who wants to run a business or any program still needs capital to run it well, because without capital it is certainly impossible for a program to run well and if someone says it doesn't need capital or whatever, I think they have lied to those who want to start a program like the one you mentioned, starting a business with little capital. I think this will help us to be able to monitor it easily because we have just started it and after we can run the business well then we can increase capital so that we can get even greater profits from the business we are running.

Well that's right, I think it's too easy to conclude that anyone can achieve success by making a lot of money if in the early stages they don't sacrifice money at all first, I'm not saying that it's impossible but what is certain is that if we talk about success in any field then obviously we can't or have difficulty if it doesn't involve money at all as capital besides dedication spending time and energy. Ok yes maybe you are smart enough to think of building plans and strategies but however money will always be involved at least in small amounts. As you pointed out that there is a possibility for them to study or seek lessons in some places that require them to spend money to get the knowledge.

If we are just talking about the field that we are in which is affiliate then yes maybe at first glance we think that it only requires dedication of time and mind but doesn't it require an unusual strategy to generate more audience who are interested in what you are marketing? of course, like in terms of advertising where usually big companies promote their products on social media by using advertisements because advertisements can make it easier for you to get consumers and obviously you need some money to pay for the advertisement so that you can reach more people through services which means doesn't it require money? of course.
