Investors scare me. Bank loans scare me.

They are both potentially risky business startup strategies and I’m not good with risking capital, especially with a wife and two children to support in an economic climate where nothing is certain.

I’ve managed to start two businesses from scratch. I sold the first one and the current one is looking like it’s going to have an exciting future.

I’ve learnt a lot about how to do a startup and also how not to do a startup. I’ve done that by getting stuck in (and there’s no substitute for that) but in addition, I’ve learnt from others.

One of my mentors is a guy called Ed Dale. You may have heard of him – he runs a programme called The Thirty Day Challenge, which teaches you how to make your first $1 online. He is passionate about online marketing but he’s equally as passionate about helping people to start a business with no money. He calls it starting from scratch and has done it himself many times. I’ve enjoyed learning from him because he talks sense.

He has given me (at least) 5 valuable pieces of advice, which I’d like to share when it comes to starting a business with no money in the online space.

#1 Do not give up the day job

Giving up the day job with a plan and a standing start is a surefire way to lose a lot of your savings. Do not do this under any circumstances unless you’ve been guaranteed an income in your new job. Make a decision to spend the bare minimum on your day job, bring in your salary and then spend every other waking hour preparing for whatever you’d like to move into next.

#2 It is possible to start an online business in today’s climate

10 years ago, online marketing was easy. CPC was small and few people were in the business. Today it’s harder to succeed, yet the tools make your life easier if you know how to use them. You need to have laser guided focus and a will to succeed.

#3 You need to build a bank

When you start a business with no money, accept it isn’t going to be straight forward – you need to build a small bank of cash which can then go onto fund the bare essential tools you need to invest in, such as domain names and webhosting. There are a number of strategies for doing this whilst you’re doing #1.

#4 There is no excuse not to research your market

So many people start their business, create a product and then spend months trying to sell it without ever considering if there’s a market for it. With the Google Keyword tool and other tools such as Market Samurai, there is no excuse not to find out about the market place before you start… again making it so much easier to get the business off the ground without funding.

#5 It’s not for everyone

Accept that when you start a business with no money it is far from easy and certainly not for everyone. Unless you’re passionate about what you do, have belief and the support of family and friends, then you’re always going to struggle…

It doesn’t matter if you actually believe in climate change or global warming, because the insurance industry does believe and, as a result, it’s rapidly moving out of insuring against extreme weather events. Regardless of your location, you are going to find it increasingly difficult to buy anything more than cover for basic storm damage. The definitions of “water damage”, particularly resulting from flooding, and “wind damage” are being redefined so the insurer will not have to pay out. While at it, the government is supposedly an insurer of last resort against flood damage. Local insurers offer cover that is provided by the National Flood Insurance Program that is run through FEMA. This is certainly looks like a good idea since private insurers pull out of flood insurance and the taxpayer remains to be the only option left. It’s perhaps the one part of big government that even the opposition might agree with. That is, if it worked like it should.

In a recent hearing of the Insurance Committee in the New York Senate, there was evidence about the aftermath of Tropical Storms Irene and Lee. As it turned out, the majority of people owning property in the New York area did not have proper flood insurance. Not unnaturally, they are struggling to finance the rebuild of their houses. However, there are also people who did have cover under the National Program and they aren’t anywhere ahead of those who didn’t regarding the state of their property. There two major problems in this situation. The first is a shortage of claims adjusters who have enough experience in dealing with flood claims. The result is that the few experts are spread thin and the other claims are dealt with by placeholders who often don’t know how to process such cases. Even worse, only a minority of private insurers has a policy of consistency when the first claims adjuster on the scene deals with the claim to resolution. This leads to situations when claimants may have to deal with an endless sequence of adjusters who have no knowledge of what has gone before. Of course, it’s very frustrating to say the least.

Moreover, there are also speculations on the intentional character of the industry’s tendency to move slow. The longer the delay in paying out on claims, the more investment income the insurer can make. Unfortunately, this applies equally to the private and the national insurers. The Senate Committee learned that about 92,000 claims had been filed and 78,000 have been fully or partially settled. In total some $545 million had been paid out for Irene and Lee of which about $145 had come from the National Program. These figures led the Committee to speculate that the National Program wasn’t as effective of an instrument like it was intended to be. The government policy was designed to deliver sufficient money to the owners as quickly as possible so that rebuilding work can begin. Home insurance should be all about restoring the home with the fewest obstacles in the way. Sure, those who do purchase the National Program should always be better off than those holding a bare homeowners insurance policy. But still, it may take more time than you expect to collect a fair settlement of your claim.

It’s possible to make money blogging online – even a 12 year old boy was able to make $500 per month on Blogger.

A 12 year old boy decided to blog about gadgets, and he involved two friends in the project (one is 12, the other is 11). He was able to make $500 per month at that young age, and he expected that amount to grow, when he knew more about Internet marketing.

This young blogger named David Wilkinson started out on a free blogging platform called Blogger.

Blogger was probably the first site to offer free blogs to the public, and still today it’s among the leading places, both for starters and for professional bloggers.

Why?

For several reasons.

First of all, Blogger.com is free to use, and you’re allowed to put ads on it. This makes it easy to make money from that platform.

Second, Blogger got bought up by Google, and even though nothing has been proved, it seems that Blogger blogs are better ranked in this particular search engine.

Third, it’s very easy to integrate AdSense to a Blogger blog. It’s probably one of the few places, you can use to even get an AdSense account and be allowed to add Google’s advertising to your site, if you don’t have your own domain.

And fourth, it’s very easy to add content, pictures, etc. to a Blogger blog, which is very important. You’ll learn why in a moment.

If you want to make money blogging online, the main thing is persistence.

It’s important to take action, of course, but if you just try something out, and then skip it, you will probably only make next to nothing.

Building a strong foundation takes time. It takes persistence. And if you don’t have to fight with technical issues, but can get right into adding new content, every time you want, you’re much more likely to do it.

Who can use Blogger’s free platform?

Everybody, as long as you put decent, legal content on your blog.

I know several who make money blogging online just by using jokes, they find funny, and share with others that way.

No matter what you have seen or heard, a recession is no match for Law of Attraction. Corporate downsizing, job losses, home foreclosures, and bankruptcies have been occurring at a rate that most of us haven’t seen in our lifetime. However, the Universal Law of Attraction enables you to achieve your dreams without regard to any national or international economic circumstances. In other words, you have the ability to opt-out of what others see as financial turmoil.The recession started with a slight downturn and it seemed to spin out of control as scared consumers replaced spending with worrying. This is a powerful example of people coming together to co-create that which is not desirable. Remember the following pointers the next time you feel uncertain about your financial potential: You are only as vulnerable as you think you are. If you allow yourself to think that you are vulnerable to recession, home foreclosures, job loss, and financial lack, you are indeed vulnerable to these things. By replacing your thoughts of contentment with those of susceptibility to undesired outcomes, you create a recession for your own life. However, you have the power to change this whenever you please. If you choose to see your financial well-being as inevitable, Law of Attraction will send thoughts and circumstances to match that belief. Remember your purpose. You are a completely empowered Being whose purpose is to create the reality that you desire– not to observe and accept whatever others create. Nonetheless, you give up that power if your response to news of financial woes within your environment is a mind-set of fear. You are far too powerful to fall into this trap. Take back the control and remember that you are an unstoppable force.While others are focused on financial pitfalls, you can be busy creating more money than you have ever had. Instead of thinking of the job cuts and foreclosures, you can give your attention to the millions of people who have jobs, homes, and money. There is absolutely no benefit in getting on board with those who have a grim outlook, for you have the power to create your own truth. Your success is not tied to a particular job. Most people worry about losing their jobs because they see it as their connection to financial well-being. They may believe that their livelihood depends on the job and that their fate lies in the employer’s hands. These beliefs, not the economy, hold you apart from your heart’s desires. Why? Because they stem from subconscious thoughts of fear, insecurity, and doubt.While it may be true that you receive money from your job, there is no shortage of opportunity for you to make a living. Once you understand that your success is not contingent upon anything outside of yourself, you will be in a position to attract what you want. If you desire success of any kind, work on ridding yourself of any thoughts to the contrary. You have no limits except those you create in your mind. Financial abundance awaits you. If you want financial abundance, the Law of Attraction has already responded by lining it up for you. You simply need to release any resistance by aligning your thoughts with the vibration of your desire. In other words, figure out how it would feel for you to be wealthy and then practice feeling that way as often as possible.There are people everywhere who are getting richer with each passing day. So, you have a choice. You can continue thinking thoughts of lack and giving your attention to what you do not want. Or you can look around for evidence of the abundance that is available. Opportunity wears many disguises. Law of Attraction manifestations do not always come in the form that you expected them. This is especially true if you haven’t focused your desire specifically. If you have lost your job or home, do not settle in a place of negative thought about this. It may very well be an opportunity for something far greater. However, you will have difficulty manifesting what you truly want if you begin feeling scared, hopeless, or at risk. Consider reading a book such as Lilou Mace’s, “I Lost My Job and I Liked It: 30-Day Law-of-Attraction Diary of a Dream Job Seeker.” This is just one of many inspiring stories about the opportunities that often come disguised as obstacles.The Universal Law of Attraction will manifest great things in your experience if you will simply cease your thoughts of lack, accept that you have the power to attract anything into your experience, and relax into a state of allowing.
