How To Make Money On The Internet Without Spending One Cent

By Jason Fladlien

It doesn't take money to make money on the internet. If you have little investment capital (or even none) then you can substitute time for money. Internet marketing and running your own online business are attractive options because you can literally start your own business without a single penny and be making money by the end of the week. In this article, I'll show you how to do just that.

First, realize that you must invest something. If you're really good at the fundamentals of marketing, then it will be a huge advantage to have a lot of money to play with. This allows you to buy your leads and prospects quickly, and then you let your marketing savvy do the rest.

The problem is that if you're not good at marketing, then having a lot of money to invest is actually a bad thing. Chances are you'll make some huge mistakes, and end up losing it all anyway. So in essence, it's almost smart to start with a budget of $500 or less. But even if you don't have a buck, the situation isn't hopeless. You can still get rich.

The first thing you need to do is come up with a simple plan. When I first started running my own business online, I had a very simple plan. First, I would write a ton of articles and submit them to every free article directory I could find.

Writing articles is great for a number of reasons. First, it demonstrates your expertise, making people more likely to trust you and take you up on your recommendations. Second, it offers your readers valuable information that they are searching for. You don't have to persuade them to do anything. They've already sold themselves.

So how can article writing make you money? Well, after you submit your article to an article directory, at the end of the article you can place a link back to your website. It can be as simple as saying "for more information, as well as some free bonuses, visit my website". And then, of course, you just put a link to your website.

But wait - doesn't having a website cost money? Not always. If you are broke, sign up for a free blog. Either blogger or wordpress will work. But wait - how will it make me money? This is the simplest of all.

In any niche there are people who have created products that offer a percentage of their profits to people who help them sell those products. These are called affiliate products. All you have to do is go to a site like clickbank that allows you search for affiliate products that are related to the topics you write on.

Then you'll be given a unique website address that will track which visitors you send to that website were the product is being sold. Whenever you send a visitor that ends up buying something, you make money.

I know many people who have worked this exact business model and have made hundreds of thousands of dollars - all without having to spend a cent!
