Ted wrote to me asking if he can make money without spending money.
In his letter, he wanted to know how he can make money when he has none of of the necessary tools.
He doesn't want to spendmore money before he makes money.
The good news is...
it can be done.
I know, because I've done it.
So let me share what I've learned.
In order to build anything -- including an online income, you'll need to input something.
Only God made stuff out of absolutely nothing.
If you're not ready to create your own product (and that is probably the best option), you can either contribute your time or your money.
When I started, I didn't want to spend money (didn't have much) but I was willing to find the time.
Hopefully you've also got some time.
If so, I have some suggestions to help you get started.
FIND A PRODUCT OR SERVICE TO PROMOTE Sign up as a free affiliate of several related online businesses.
There are many good ones that have good quality products and pay reasonable levels of affiliate commission.
For example, Jimmy Brown's.
Some of Jimmy's ebooks etc are cheap and some are expensive -- that's good because some customers will buy at the cheaper end, and some will want the products with the higher value.
And he provides a range of products that meet a range of needs -- which also is good.
Examine his site and by that I mean read his material.
There's much in it that you can learn from.
Jimmy tends to over-deliver on information.
If you want to find more affiliate programs where you can make money when others buy, Allan Gardyne's site at http://associateprograms.
com is the place to go.
Allan is well respected and has thousands of affiliate programs listed in his database.
That number is a bit overwhelming so you may decide to choose from the ones you see advertised -- with them you know that something is happening.
While you're there, I'd suggest you sign up for Allan's free newsletter...
I've regularly derive value from what Allan writes.
