4 Cheap Startup Businesses Anyone Can Launch

It’s tough starting a new business.  Lots of people launch businesses out of pure necessity.  They need the cash to keep the bill collectors off their backs, but they need to keep their day job at the same time.  So finding a business opportunity that is easy, flexible, and especially affordable is super important.

But finding cheap startup businesses isn’t as simple as it may sound. 

In my days of looking for opportunities to help keep clothes on my kids’ backs and food in their bellies, I’ve run across a number of cheap startup businesses that you might find advantageous for your unique life situation:

Affiliate Marketing:

Affiliate marketing is the process of using online tools like websites and email to sell products that other people create. 

Many affiliate marketers use a blog, video marketing, and email marketing techniques to create interesting content about a given subject.  They then provide links to different products related to that topic.  When people click on those links and purchase from the selling company, the affiliate marketer receives a percentage of the sale.

E-Learning Course Creation:

E-learning course creation is the process of creating and selling classes that teach things people are dying to know. 

And if you’ve got something you can help people learn, you can make quite a bit of money too.  Unlike affiliate marketers, people who create online courses generally take home 100% of every sale they make. 

Unfortunately for online courses, if you spend the time to build a course in a topic area that no one cares about…you’ll have wasted your time for 0%.  That’s no fun!  So do your homework!

Blogging:

Blogging is writing online articles for the purposes of drawing people to your website. 

Once they’ve arrived on your site, you can make money in a number of ways.  You can get paid for ads you place on your site or you can sell affiliate products or online courses.

Online Network Marketing:

Network marketing isn’t always something people associate with the internet.  Most people picture overeager people trying to convince their mothers, grandmothers, and annoyed friends to “join their downline”. 

But the reality is, if you’re looking for cheap startup businesses, network marketing is a great way to go.

This is especially true if the company you work with sells products that can be marketed online. 

This is why I’ve found Beachbody to be a great company to work with.  It has all the benefits of selling an online course, with few of the drawbacks.

People are hungry to learn how to lose weight and get healthier.  So you know you don’t have to worry about whether the products will sell.

Unlike other business models, you don’t only make money on your customers’ purchases.  You also get paid for customers’, customers’, customers’ purchases too!

It’s possible to bring together the business models I’ve already mentioned above to build your Beachbody business.  You can set up a blog and/or create videos.  Once people are coming to your website, you can encourage them to check out Beachbody’s online courses known as Beachbody on Demand.

And, unlike other cheap startup businesses, the entire network marketing industry is set up to teach you how to have success getting your business off the ground.
