Hello,

I'm just wondering if anyone has managed to start from scratch to setup their own business online? I know about affiliate marketing, print on demand but you need capital to setup these. Just wondering how people managed to do it and if they have any advice to share?

I've hit a point in life where I'd prefer to work long hours for myself than for doing overtime for someone else. It's like an itch I can't scratch but I don't know where to start.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

You don't need cash to start either of those? As examples: Afflilate marketing you would just start a blog reviewing high ticket sales items on amazon and grab the kickback for the recommended sales, promote through the usual channels and off you go (assuming you have a good niche and are willing to learn).

Print-on-demand is much the same, its just a question of finding the right service that gives you a kickback or you can work nett margins into the customer's purchase cost.

Both of these are very saturated markets though...

Starting an online business can be done super cheap, you just need to solve a decent problem and start with an MVP model...
