    If I had to start a businesses without investments, I would find it impossible. So the best thing to do if you don't have enough money is to go out and panhandle till you get enough! Those panhandlers make a good living!

    Hi, antonymathew20!

    What sort of education, skills, training and job experience do you presently have, please? Also, are you going to limit yourself only to that which you might be able to do via the Internet?

    Thanks!

    Honestly, before you ask about how to start a business, you have to first find the type of business that you're willing to go into.

    I would do some heavy research, look into what you want to start, and figure out the costs/profit margin, the time you're going to have to put into it on a daily basis, and if this is worth it to you.

    Hello:

    The only way I know for somebody who has NO capital, to start a business, and have a good chance at success, is to buy a distributorship in a successful direct sales business...

    No, selling soap or vitamins, or makeup isn't exciting... But it's DOABLE.

    Companies like Amway, Mary Kay, Tupperware, Shaklee and others have produced lots of millionaires.

    I think they use all of that stuff in Asia.

    In this case, I would like to say that selling AmWAY products is not what I am looking for, the main thing is I don't have time, becoz I work, secondly I would like to put up some business that would be easy, like selling some products on internet or becoming an agent for companies in this country were there products are unlnown, or something else. I hope U undrstnd what I mean. Thnk you for your valuable time to reply.

    Hi again, antonymathew20!

    Once a thread has been started, then the information needs to stay on the thread. So, it was necessary for me to remove your contact information.

    Any business that you start is going to take time and maintenance for it to truly be successful.

    I had asked you the following question that was toward the beginning of this thread.

    Also, are you going to limit yourself only to that which you might be able to do via the Internet?
    Would you please answer that question?

    Also, you gave me your background in education and the jobs that you have and have had.

    What sort of skills and interests do you have beyond that which you learned in school, please?

    For many years, I was a teacher of various types of fine art courses in schools. Having my college degree enabled me to get the jobs. However, nearly everything that I do now in order to make a living were not things that I learned in school.

    Thanks!

    If you've had experience playing for church services, then how about looking around for a job doing that? I've been a leader in church music for over 36 years.

    I would also be interested in knowing what instrument or instruments it is that you play and if you sing.

    Another way that I make a living is that I'm also a professional instrumentalist, vocalist and also tune and repair pianos.

    Thanks!

    I'm sorry that I misunderstood what it is that you did for your church! Perhaps there might be some coaching opportunities in sports that pay?

    Also, are you interested in tutoring students who might be younger than you where the parents would be interested in paying you to do that?

    Just a couple of thoughts for you...

    Thanks!
