Welcome to expomaster, the number one hub of Lifehacks and make money online ideas. You must have asked the question before or been asked by someone else; How to start a business without money?
As ridiculous as it sounds, it is indeed possible to start a business without money or should I say without capital.
Startup money or capital has proven to be a major stumbling block for so many individuals with astounding ideas looking to venture into various businesses.
As a result of the daily increasing question of how to start a business without money, I’ve decided to come up with this article to adequately answer that question and help encourage as many people as possible who stumble on this article to start a business even if the start-up money is not available.
BUSINESSES YOU CAN START WITHOUT MONEY
Obviously, it’s not all kinds of businesses you can start without money as there’re so many that are highly capital intensive.
So I’ll be listing the lucrative businesses you can start without money.
But before that, take a deeply thoughtful look at one of my personal new quotes, it might just help.
“Look for a common but difficult problem, solve it and make yourself some money”
– Expomaster (Chibuzor Lawrence), 2021.
1. GRAPHIC DESIGN
This is the first on my list. You can start graphics design without money as long as you’ve previously acquired the skill and mastered it and probably own a laptop.
Even if you’re yet to master the art of graphic design, you can learn more about it on YouTube by watching helpful videos, or better yet, you can take a free course on Udemy, or Coursera, or check out the trial period of Graphics design training in Shaw Academy.
All these training are totally and completely free of charge. You’ll only be dedicating your time and staid attitude towards it.
Now, after learning and mastering the concept of graphic designing, it is time to turn it into a profitable business.
How do you start graphic design business without money?
All you need do is simply to create awareness for yourself. Let people know you exist solely as a professional and reliable graphic designer.
One who delivers exciting, unique and mouthwatering designs and does so in a relatively shorter period of time.
You can create a gig on as many freelancing platforms as possible, and start making hundreds of dollars every single week.
Like I said there’s no startup money required to do this, just time and seriousness and oh! a laptop.
Freelancing platforms I will suggest for you to create a gig and start earning passive income includes;
- Upwork
- Freelancer
- Fiver
- Truelancer
- Simply hired
- Aquent
- Crowded
- Design hill
- Toptal and
- 99Designs Among others
You can as well utilize the various social media platforms (Twitter, WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram) available to promote yourself.
Promoting yourself on social media platforms has to be something done regularly and relentlessly so as to put yourself (your image/brand/business) at the very top of every viewer’s mind in need of a graphic designer.
2. REPAIRS
As odd as this might sound to you, you can start a repair business without money. All you need do is run a subterranean survey of appliances, materials, or any substance at all that’s so vivacious to everyday human life.
Then weigh the difference in cost of purchasing a brand new material with respect to the cost of repairing.
If the difference is reasonably high then that means that people will opt for repair more instead of choosing to buy a new one.
So take the time to learn how to repair the device and start marketing yourself.
I have a friend (Onwubuariri joseph) who was willing to bend his back and learn wig revamping during the holidays, today he’s gradually crunching it with his wig revamping skill.
3. CONTENT WRITING
This is another business you can start without money, only that it requires a bit of talent and love for the art.
Content writing is perceptibly not as easy as it sounds, most people feel it’s all about brainstorming and writing on a particular topic, but it actually takes more than that.
The choice of word, expression and structure of your sentence is of paramount importance, not to mention the level of uniqueness it demands.
But not to scare you, you can essentially learn the art, and with a certain level of interest in it, you could even become a pro in the writing space.
