11 tips for starting a small business with little to no money
=> Some businesses need capital to get off the ground.
=> But there are many ways to start your business without having to worry about expenses, as long as you have a great idea.
=>Here are some suggestions, from service businesses to affiliate marketing to reaching customers, from real Quora users with business experience.
Quora users with plenty of business experience were asked the question: "Is it possible to start a business with little to no money? How?"
As these answers prove, it's very possible to start a business with nothing but a great idea and more drive than the competition. There are several methods to implement your drive, like starting a dropshipping business, trying affiliate marketing, and reaching your customers in creative ways. And many of these answers come from people who started their own businesses in the exact same way.
Here are 11 Quora users' answers on starting a business with next to nothing.
1. If you start out with little money, outperform other businesses.
If you start out with little money, outperform other businesses.
Quora user Wade Myers had several examples he had encountered over the years of entrepreneurs building lucrative businesses with next to no money. Here's one:
"An entrepreneur that had lost everything in a previous failed venture, bounced back and with a spirit of humility and cheerful diligence moved to a new city with literally no money, and bought a few pool cleaning supplies. He went on to build a pool cleaning route and sold it for over $50,000 just ten weeks later. He told me he didn't even have enough money for a direct mailing campaign, so he just went door-to-door to build his customer base. He then kept doing that over and over again, realizing that he was really good at building a route of customers and that there were plenty of existing pool cleaning companies that were not that good at growing that would happily buy a route from him. He could build and sell about four routes per year."
If your business works harder than its competitors, profit will find its way into your hands. In every story Myers described, the entrepreneurs had little money to start with, worked harder than their competitors, and didn't wait for customers to come to them.
