Building an online business takes a lot of work and patience. However, if you are committed to making it work, you can start your own business with little money invested. It takes one of two things to build any business. You can put money into your business and build equity by leveraging other peoples talents, or you can do the work yourself, using sweat equity. This means you spend your time doing a lot of the work yourself. This can be slower to build an effective business, but it does work.

Leveraging other peoples skills and talents is critical to running an online business. As soon as you can afford to I highly recommend you start outsourcing as much of your work as possible. You can hire someone to write for you, people to build links for your website, and much more.

Doing all this work yourself is possible. However it will take much longer to build a successful business. You should try to focus on one project so that you can use your time wisely. One of the biggest mistakes I made starting my business was to start multiple websites at once. In some ways this has been better for me. However, overall it took longer to become successful. Having to divide my time between multiple projects meant it took longer to build enough links to get good rankings quickly. It was also difficult to write content for multiple projects at once. You start getting confused by all the different things you are doing.

Another key aspect to building an online business is making sure you are committed to making it work. You will not be successful over nite. It takes time and effort to get enough links, and build enough traffic to your websites. However within a few months you can get descent rankings in the search engines and build a descent business for yourself.
