Before you attain everything from affiliation and other venturing without capital you will take some time building it so indeed that this is possible but with time spending and before you get there you also need to have some funds , while when you have capital there is a small time you need to spend and the next is gaining.
am a business person also  and i know how hard to establish a business from scratch .
what a complete list of what we need in having a business .

Well, affiliate marketing could only be possible if you have the device and a good internet connection. But even so, I can’t still see it as a free capital because your time and efforts alone will be considered as your capital so you can convince your customers to purchase the products that you promote.

In addition, this is not actually an investment, but most likely a part time job. So you can’t still rely on this 100% and 24/7, you would still need a real and stable job that will cater to all your basic needs and even wants in life.

Starting a Business without Capital can be seen as like Starting a Currency.

Creativity is important but guess what, after launching your business and you have alot of funds at your disposal, you can hire a creative team and they'll be incharge of the creativity for your business. If you pay them well and give them a good reason to grow with you, they'll deliver an excellent job that your business will become a successful one without you having any creativity in you. Money solves alot of problems that comes for a new business, with massive marketing you can be able to realize gains that those that have the creativity can't generate. The more people's you reach the more your businesses gets known and the more sales you generate. Having passion, creativity and the rest quality is good but having an unlimited access to resources that you need to push your business is the ultimate boost any business can need in today's world.


If you don't have capital, your business will be buried among the similar business that will be launched with yours. How will you buy or patronize what you do not know. There are many businesses that are better than the popular ones that's known of yet they can't do numbers more than the popular brands. Apple don't have the best phones yet they have one of the most profitable businesses. Same thing can be said about other brands because branding is the best way to sell a business and to have a good brand, you need money first to sponsor your creativity.

I agree with this, even in affiliate marketing, you need something to start up and to sustain it.
Mobile phones, laptop , computer or any device and of course internet connection should also be considered as your capital, for me capital isn't just money it could be your skills or connection even time or dedication, anything that you could use to produce profit.

Post that is in relevant because you cannot establish any business without a capital any business that will stand well move to come with the capital even though the business is small or large they must be a capital that we hold the the investment to stand before any other thing but I don't know why some people thinking that you can establish investment to without having a sufficient capital I don't know where it work whether it work in some countries that is civilized whereby they come up then loan from Bank to establish a business so I do get confused in this statement because I don't really know what is the point of this discussion exactly because right from time I've been seeing a business owners and the There's No Business around my environment that doesn't do with the money

While Khaby Lame went from a nobody to a famous celebrity, I’d like to emphasize how difficult and rare that is. But it’s one interesting thing about social media algorithms. Some times it picks you and you get lucky to trend. But what does it cost anyway, which I think is why people should throw their dice anyway. You never know if the algorithm will pick you and maybe massively promote your product for free.

 In my opinion, every business that is started certainly requires capital, and this capital is not just money, but there is capital in the form of knowledge, skills, will, courage and honesty to start it, then the doors of opportunity will slowly open for us.
 This is very important so that the business to be carried out can be carried out well. The business world will always offer opportunities to those of us who don't have the capital to start one.

I think this is possible, I've seen a lot of people with really awesome ideas either selling their product/service ideas to those who have the power to make it happen, or they ask funding from those who already made it in the business world, as well as mentorship. Shows like Shark Tank are a really good example of this happening.

But even then, sometimes depending on the product you're trying to sell you could just cut the middleman and start your venture even without money, Facebook, Microsoft, and the biggest tech giants in the past have been able to start their success stories in the blistering heat and discomfort of their garages and bunkbeds inside dorms, if you're trying to create a similar product, you might just be able to, but always remember that whatever you don't pay with money, you're paying with something else of equal importance to you. Time, Health, relationships with the people around you, these will be tested  as you try to make it out of the ladder. it will be up to you if those are more important than the success you're seeing for yourself.

In the end, there is still basic capital where you use a laptop and the internet which is capital so that nothing can be called a business without capital because in the end even if you become an affiliator in the end it is certain that there is initial capital that we must pay attention to such as the duration of time you need to work on, how we invite, the internet we use and the laptop or gadget that is used as a suggestion is also initial capital in the end so that in business matters this also needs to be considered which makes no business that cannot be done without capital.

Using the minimum possible capital is still possible but if there is no capital at all I doubt it will work because as i said earlier nothing can really be done if you don't have anything so when talking about business all forms must be considered and taken into account because it is your initial capital in the end.

In the traditional way of setting up a business, you really need to have money to release; you can't have any money to release. Then you also need to be hardworking, patient, determined, and strong. We need to rotate our capital correctly.

Now, if you do business online, it's a bit less of a hustle compared to the traditional way of business. Because there are many ways to get earnings without spending any money, you just need to be patient in your search. It can't be true.

It all starts that you still need money no matter what happens. Yes, you can start from nothing but you need to work for it and still earn some money.
Those jobs that don't require you to be that much formal and you're only going to take time until you have your first sale and commission and from there, you already have your beginnings.

I agree with your sentence, it is possible but difficult, starting a business without capital must have skills and expertise in the field of business that we want to run. Talking about capital is not only the money we have to spend. for example affiliate marketing we must have good skills and communication in addition to most affiliators now successful capitalize a beautiful and handsome face to lure buyers to buy the products he offers, it is also a capital that every affiliate marketing must have.

Starting a business without capital. Yeah you can do it nothing is impossible but starting business without capital would be hard and takes time because no matter what we need capital even tho is small take example build affiliate marketing or dropship you still need an internet and laptop so yeah

You can work first and earn some money and then buy laptop and internet and then you can start business

You have some points but let face reality. You shouldn't expect much from any business you start without a capital. Making a decent profit is only possible in theory especially for the beginners. I know there are a few successful businesses that started without capital or with just a little capital and they are now famous. However, the truth is that it's not easy to get to that point.

Affiliate marketing is a good option but it takes effort and dedication to start making little to nothing from it. As a starter, you can not solely rely on affiliate marketing for your survival because you won't be able to make enough money to fully support yourself. The fact is, even people who are successful today in affiliate marketing did not start making significant income from it until after several months or even years depending on how well people trust you and how you are able to convince them. I know a few people who attempted but gave up in the long run due to their inability to make a sell. If one is willing to make sacrifice and remain committed, they will probably reach certain stage of start making a profit from it. It's a very a gradual process that requires patience.

having creative idea in building product is good, but what usually causes people to fail their business is the execution a person can have the best idea there is and become the most creative person ever if they just can't really execute their idea it won't turn into profit, same thing with solving an actual problem and starting business out of it you can easily get success with building a business that actually has some use and solving a real problem.
if its just creating business just for the sake of creating business and thats it, i think thats where the fate of the entreprenurship is doomed to fail.
business overall is not an easy thing to do, every factor affect the way your business could works also determine whether your business gonna become a real business or just an empty shell.
overall, even mentorship thats truly helpful and connection affect a lot in business.
therefore never underestimate business difficulties.

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.
