In starting a business what is really needed is creativity, because this is very important in building a business, relying on money in my opinion will not help anything if we are not creative enough, and if we have creativity but don't have a lot of capital we can still run it or make use of it, because in building a business creativity is very important and really needed to build the business that we will run.

In an increasingly sophisticated era like now, even though we don't have capital, it is not a barrier for those of us who want to build, utilizing the expertise and skills we have will really help us, and continue to explore the business world and always hone our abilities, one of which is We can do it even though we don't have much capital, by relying on the crafts we make, if we are persistent it will become something, so keep on being creative because this really helps us in running our business.

For TikTok, most of the content people make requires no money, it's just some creators out of millions who might spend some money on their videos by buying props and stuff and making videos that might require some investment, but all other creators do is make some music or voiceover and make a video on that and that doesn't require any money. Even the most famous TikToker in the world, Khaby Lame, made his career out of nothing, he made funny videos using other videos as a reference and got so much fame from it.

You are right though that people who have some social media followers and fans can use that to promote their affiliate links and this might work for them. Those who don't have that might have to look into paid ads because you can't get customers or referrals by just posting the link here and there.

I Saw an acquaintance of mine who was able to establish an independent and profitable business without capital. His journey was such that he used to buy mechanical parts from various shops and deliver them to customers through mobile phone. When the customer received the goods and paid him the value, he kept his profit and gave that money to the shopkeeper. In this way he gradually continued to increase his business scope through promotion and gradually he was able to establish a large parts supplier company. In that case, a man must be strategic and discover profitable areas.

True, it is a difficult thing but that doesn't mean we can't do it, it depends on how well we can see the opportunities that exist and then start working on them. There are many things where we can take advantage of the opportunities that exist in this era, especially since this is an era where life is easy.
Working hard is the key, someone who spends a large amount of capital doesn't mean they don't have to work hard, they will still do it. We can see many examples, for example a company that started from 0. They will work hard to make their company known and trusted by many people.
But maybe if we start without capital, we have to be able to work harder than those who have capital, and we are guaranteed to do everything ourselves, unlike companies that can pay employees for example.

It’s difficult but possible to start a business without capital. Identify a profitable business idea that requires minimal investment such as offering freelance services or creating digital products. Use free marketing platforms & social media to promote your business. Look for partnerships or collaborations to access resources & reach a wider audience. Reinvest profits into the business to gradually expand. Provide excellent customer service to build a loyal customer base. Stay determined, resourceful & persistent to succeed.

Creating content is harder than just hitting "Go Live". The internet's the bare minimum, the table stakes. What separates the wannabes from the ones who make a living? Consistency. Most people underestimate the grind. It's ideas, editing, community, tech troubleshooting...a never-ending cycle. The real battleground's in your head. Top streamers, they make it look like fun, but they've turned themselves into a business. Every interaction, a piece of the bigger strategy. You figure that out, find your audience, and stay relentless? That's where potential turns into paychecks. Roadblocks are gonna happen, but it's whether you adapt or give up that determines where you end up

Yes, of course there are many things to consider apart from the main capital being money. Motivation and willingness to work are also other things that must be started so that activities and goals are focused. There are also cases where if someone has enough capital but is not based on knowledge then what they do often falls apart. So I still recommend that someone who wants to start a business must really be able to master many things about business management.

Because in the end nothing can be done without capital because don't think that capital is only based on money but in the end we also have to be able to take into account other situations such as time and maybe other things such as knowledge is also a capital so that even though we don't spend money but when we spend more time in learning a business it is capital in the end so that nothing can be said to be a business without capital because everything needs careful preparation to do it.

It's just that the stigma that occurs now is not only about doing business but for other things capital is always synonymous with money but in the end it's not wrong, it's just not very appropriate if in the end we only consider only money as capital because in the end there are several factors that can become capital that we don't realise.

 

You can't actually start a business without capital but you can start a business without your capital and I'm not talking about going to borrow money since when you receive the loan it becomes your money so you're technically still using your money because the loans has to be payed back. Starting a business without capital can come in form of using others money as the capital and thast where networking comes in. There are some set of people that re good at convincing others to invest into their Idea ls and they use this people money as starting capital for their businesses. A bet you have seen people becoming successful without investing a dime or not investing a big capital into their business.


You can use others money. There are many people out there with money but they don't know how to use them especially people that just got a large amount of money but they do not have any management abilities to handle the money. I'm talking about those that just won the lottery or a bet (large amount from gambling) and those that received their pension. People too that just inherited a large wealth and do not know how to manage it but have interest investing in Bitcoin. You can help manage their portfolio or teach them how to invest and get a fees that you can use to start your own investment.

People who say they can build a business from zero look like they are spreading lies, and they never think before they speak, they don't even know what they are saying. In all business cycles, everything starts with the support of those closest to you, connections and of course your own motivation to start it. I also agree with you, where I think the statement that you can build a business from zero is a mistake. Maybe some just don't want to admit the help they get from other people, that's why they say that everything started from zero.

It's true, everyone needs capital to build a business, even in the service sector we have to study first, where we have to pay a certain amount of money and spend some time to master a certain skill. Overall, building a business requires consistency and deep understanding, so that we can profit from the capital we have. Risks will always exist in any business, learning from other people experiences is the best way to minimize them.

I read references from several articles that affiliates are included in the business using a commission distribution system to affiliates who have promoted their products on social media or on their personal websites, but I do not agree that they are not really without capital but relatively they only use capital low for product promotion activities.

Affiliate activities are very much in demand for earning online income, for example on the TikTok application (perhaps some countries prohibit the TikTok application) which has released an affiliate feature which is widely used to promote products from online stores, they pay higher commissions than from other affiliate platforms.

I agree with this that starting a business requires capital, it doesn't need to be too big, the point is how the capital is used as well as possible, even if it is small at least it can be used either to build a website or buy something that can be used to support the business. Because I myself don't really agree with the idea that says that a business can be started without capital, that is a mistake, because true business starts with capital - because there is not a single company in this world that is successful without using capital, it all starts with capital, no matter how small.

Your right here! Having a good sum of money in your hand as a capital to start a business is good and it will give you access to things you cannot do when you do not have any money on you. Which you have mentioned earlier. But i think that OP is trying to say that there are people who may have that money but dont know how to start a mange a business and even if they try to implement these things you mentioned they may go about it the wrong way.

That means it is good one have a 0 zero amount at hand and a million dollars amount in the brain. So that when they have such amount or little to start their business they will be successful at the end. It takes a prepared mind to be successful on anything whether with money or not.

Becoming a content creator is not easy, of course there will be its own obstacles and I think this does require capital, even if it is calculated as small as with an internet connection, in my opinion that is already included in the capital. there is no way we can do it without an internet connection. It is true that in this era, technological developments make everything easier, but of course, even though everyone can become a content creator, not everyone can be consistent in doing it because some people may fail to do it because they are not able to cope with the obstacles they have to face.

Many streamers currently play games live and earn money from it, but I don't think it's easy. because as far as I know there are some things that are quite difficult to do, but I agree with what you said regarding the three things you mentioned. However, with the second and third, I think you are conveying essentially the same advice, namely "sure", only the sentence is reversed.

I agree with you, indeed a business that is built using capital takes time to develop to become better. Starting a business from scratch is certainly not easy even if our finances are sufficient. Of course there will be obstacles or unexpected things that can happen, such as risks that we don't think about or obvious problems that can occur with all the businesses we run, there is nothing that can rule out the possibility that problems can occur, even if we run our business as well as possible, we still can. problems or risks are likely to occur.
For business development, of course it obviously takes time, no one starts a business and immediately becomes successful or the business they run runs smoothly, no matter how clever someone is in running a business, of course they will definitely experience problems first, it's just that they are smart in overcoming the problems so that the business is successful. it runs fine.

It is not possible to run a business without making a large capital investment. Affiliate marketing is not a business it is just a way to earn some income by promoting other's business or selling other's products. therefore, it cannot be considered as a business. Business is when you have your own products and sell them. and for this you must invest a lot of money. It is not possible to do business without big capital. i think op don’t know the difference of business and Affiliate marketing

You cannot start a business without capital because I don’t know how you will fund such a business to grow. And I haven’t seen anyone who has done that before. There is no way you will enter a business without any capital. Just imagine entering a bitcoin investment without money. How can you be successful in that business that you are about to start? I don't think there’s a way you will be a successful businessman or investor. Without money, you can’t even promote your business in order to grow.


What’s the hard work then if you don’t have money to fund the business you want to start? However, in this life, if you are really ready to do business, then you need money to support your business, and capital cannot be raised. You must enter business with capital, not until you start the business before you get the capital.

I'm not saying it's dead or outdated, I'm just saying that its heyday is over and things are becoming saturated so making money from it isn't as easy as it used to be. Of course, those who pursue it from the beginning still earn a decent income from it, but beginners will encounter many difficulties and challenges. I still have some friends who are still working in the affiliate marketing industry, they still earn a pretty good income, but earning a huge income like the old days is just a memory.

As for getting rich, it depends on each person's mindset, not on the industry you are working in, any industry can produce billionaires if you know how to take advantage of it.

Someone who's eager to start a business, will definitely start it no matter what and anticipates the possible good and bad result.

They're willing to do it with a capital of course. Someone who doesn't have plans to get into business and does have a capital, they're comfortable and don't want to cause themselves any trouble.

In my opinion, starting a business without capital is not impossible in the current era. The stigma of starting a business with large capital is that people whose average expectations are very high end up feeling afraid or embarrassed to start it.

In fact, every time we start a business, we only need to understand three steps, first understand the knowledge, second be confident in the business we are running, and third run it with full confidence. Especially in the current digital era, many businesses do not require a lot of capital or even no capital at all. One of them is like the example you gave, now even with a smartphone you can make money like being a content creator on social media, of course the key is to only have one desire and don't give up easily.
