Topic: Starting a business without capital. - page 5. (Read 2641 times)

In the past, every time we wanted to open a business, we had to have capital so that we could run the business to meet all the needs we wanted to trade, but now we can run a business without having to spend capital, we only need a cellphone or laptop to do affiliate marketing, there we can sell. without having to spend capital, we just promote it and then we can make money, so everyone has their own way of making money.

I think this post is relevant, because it is impossible to establish any business without capital, any business will stand well, move with capital, whether it is a small or large business, we should hold capital so that the investment lasts before anything else. but I don't know why some people think that you can invest without having enough capital. I don't know where it works, does it work in some civilized countries where they appear then loans from Banks to set up a business so I am confused by this statement because I don't really know what exactly this discussion means because since long time I see business owners and There is No Business in my neighborhood that has nothing to do with money.

Not only that, affiliate marketing is something which one needs a mentor to excel in it. Anyone trying to learn on his own might no get the right approach to be good at it. There must be someone willing to devote the time to guide you on how to go about sales and advertising in the ling run. And we all know that the number of audience the more sales one can have. What annoys me the most it is not an actual skill because what I see most affiliate marketers doing is selling affiliate courses to people who may or may not use the course for anything. There is no skill in doing that rather it's just a means to deceive people into buying their courses.

No depend on situation since you can sell your idea to some potential clients. That's why there's what we called crowd funding and some businessman want to venture on that since they don't have some funds to use to operate their ideas then convert it as a running business.

There's lot of knowledge can be learn on this video or article https://www.shopify.com/ph/blog/start-business-without-money so hopefully those people have unique ideas can learn from this and try to work out all their potential plans.

Sometimes its not all about the money but your idea that can solve certain problems in the world since that can be convert into good sales.

Yes it is true in all cases that the more investment in a business the more profit it will make. However it will not end without increasing investment in all established businesses, maybe the scope of the business will not increase. But since the business is dependent on the demand, the demand will also increase as the scope of the business increases. And if it is not possible to supply with the increased demand it will gradually decline. Again even if it is possible to establish a business without capital it will be like 'eating day in and day out'.

I think it has a greater level of risk, we don't understand it yet and we tell other people to run it, it's a very big risk, such as fraud or corruption or other things that are deliberately utilized by the people we hire to run our business, not to mention the risk of failure, Even though we hire professionals, it doesn't necessarily go according to the expectations we want, because after all business is business, we can't let other people take care of it without us understanding it, it would be very lucky if the people we hire are very honest and can be trusted, but what if it's the other way around, a very big loss might be swallowed if the system is like that.

I think the most powerful capital is a mindset not money, because with a mindset even if we go bankrupt it will easily get up again and again build a business even though it loses money several times.

No matter what people say, money is always needed in business. Some businesses close just because they do not have enough money to operate anymore even if the concept of the business is good. A good business idea does not always mean it will be profitable immediately.

This is why you should partner up with other people who would be invest in your business. Yes you would be splitting up the profit but at least you’ have enough funding.

That's why there are strategies in marketing and someone has to learn that depending on the experience that he's got.

Aside from the quality, you really have to build network and connection to your future and potential customers and prospects.

Someone can start with having nothing to little or big, depending on your capacity as a businessman.

honestly agree with this take,
starting out business without capital is just unrealistic, even starting out affiliate marketing we required to pay electricity and the tools that support the entire work flow.
there's just no free lunch these days, if the term least capital is used it does make a lot more sense as you said earlier.
everything requires money to start up, even how small it is, a starting capital will always be considered to start up a business.
maybe the only thing that won't take capital to start is offering service such as being plumber and so on, you can learn it by self taught.
then you can offer the hard work of yours and the time spent in exchange of money such as plumbing, but even this job needs the right tool to start.

Convincing other people about the products we market is not an easy thing to do and the products we offer must of course be of good quality so that we can offer them to other people. Building a business certainly requires capital and this really depends on the business we are going to build. However, if we are able to start with a little capital, I don't think there's anything wrong with it, because if we can run it well, of course the business we run will develop well.

Capital is not the only thing that should be considered, the same time it is important because without capital I don’t think the business can kick start. Except it is no longer a business but as far it is business involved capital is important. And their is a big difference between between skill and business because if your talking about business you capital to invest, and skill is just for you to earn from and you don’t need money to start the only thing you need to invest is time and dedication to what you are learning. Because it’s just as if you want to invest in bitcoin without money is that even possible. And you must not do business just because everyone wants to invest you can also get a skill and that way you have something to fetch you money because starting up a business is more challenging than previous years the competition is high in the markets, and demand is very important, so when making a decision it is better to choose wisely what you want to do, either business or skill, and if you want to engage in doing the two then it’s not bad.


And like I replied before if it is business there is no way you can side line capital that’s is part of the fundamental in establishing a business. And business comes with a lot of responsibilities. Starting from a business idea then down to plan of implementation and establishment that is were capital comes in because you need capital to develop that stage. Then management follows because every good business needs good management to sustain the business, if not the business might not survive. Their are factors that keeps the business running and earning the trust of your customers also matters a lot. And that is why I said business comes with a lot of responsibility, skill is also a good option to consider since all we are after is money.

That's right, even if it's small, all businesses need money or capital.
I think OP intention to start a business is not always focused on capital. Sometimes there are tools that are around us or that we use to start a business, for example a smartphone which almost everyone now has, that can be capital for us to start a business olnine.
So what the OP said is correct, it can be considered that a business can be started without capital so don't be afraid to start a business, the idea that you have to have capital first to start a business must be changed.

I disagree with that we don't need money totally to Start up a business. I want to tell you that there is no business without money and time invested on it, for example before you start affiliate market, you need the  internet skill and will pay to learn properly. after which you'll buy a new device either laptop or mobile phone including the data you spent online each day to work. So you can see that there is no business you will not at least spend a thangible amount of money. I think the title of this your thread should be "starting up a business with the least capital" I

I really agree, there are many factors that are connected to business, but money is the main thing in business itself, and it cannot be denied. After that, there is an opportunity to do this business supported by credibility that can make people trust, because of good performance and skills in managing whatever will be done in the business.
Once our business is running well and successfully and is trusted by many people, money is no longer the main thing, because investors will come themselves to be able to provide funds or join the business.

Affiliate marketing is a job that takes time to make yourself strong at. Very few keep themselves focused and move forward, whereas the majority leave the market in between and look for better earning opportunities. These days, affiliate marketing is dominated by social media influencers. In this fast-moving world, we've got lots and lots of opportunities, we need to be prepared. This way, it is good to find out one's own interest and move on from it.

Being passionate about the work you do will surely bring you money in the long run. If you have the right vision, there are platforms that can help with funding and turn your plan into a real-time product. This is how businesses are progressing, and we need to be good enough with better understanding and knowledge.

The hardest thing in the world is to convince someone to sell your product to them. so affiliate marketing is not an easy task. you will only get commission from here if you can sell the product. If you can sell other people's products, why can't you start your own business?  Yes business requires capital but here you don't need to use much capital in the beginning. you can start the business on a small scale and then gradually scale it up. I don't think it's a standard plan to earn commission by selling other people's products through marketing

Like I said, when you have money, there will be a lot of people willing to do those jobs for you as long as you can pay them the salary they want. And during the time you let them help you run your business, you have enough time to learn all you need. Let's look at reality and like I said, why do many highly educated people work and become employees? Simply because they don't have money, while you are probably no stranger to the story of many people who do not have expertise in a business field but they are still the owners of that business. Let's take Elon's example, is he running Twitter, does he have experience in social media? No, he just bought it because he loves it but he is the boss and there are a lot of talented people working for him. In business, money is still the most powerful factor.

Currently, affiliate marketing is one way that can be done because nowadays most people definitely use social media for their activities, of course we can market it by spreading or sharing it via social media, but of course, even though this can be said to be easy, there are still Things to pay attention to are skills in speaking, if the marketing is in the form of videos or skills in attracting lots of people, which of course not everyone has, only those who have a high sense of confidence usually have the courage to speak in front of lots of people.

Also, of course the products we market are the same as what other people have done, so there will be competition here, but of course we can excel if we have interesting ideas in marketing and try to keep the price affordable, I mean don't make too much profit. of one product because it will usually be difficult, it is better to take for a little of one product but sales continue to increase.

Do you have a lot of followers on social media, such as TikTok and IG? If not, the affiliate process that you convey will also not work. I think the most important thing is to make ourselves famous first before talking about other skills.

In any business, regarding skill number two, the most important thing is that you are famous or known.

Because I really understand what you are saying, it's not that easy to produce something.

Yeah that is right affiliate marketing is a good way to earn profit that is no capital, the problem there is the trust you need a big community of audiences to make sales and get commissions another thing is there are so many people around that do the same thing they are your rival, so for me still it is not easy to do affiliate marketing it only sounds so easy but in reality its not.
