Zero Cost Start-up- Is That Really Possible?

Is it really possible to start making money without spending a dime? Don't even need your own computer? Absolutely..... yes you can!



As far as a computer goes, you can always use the ones at the Public Library. they can be very limiting as far as where you can go or do. Some are more strict that others. I have even used the ones at The Workforce Center at times, because I could be on it all day if it wasn't busy and had a lot more freedom there than at the Library. Plus, they didn't mind, I helped out when it got busy. When the computer lab filled up, I gave up my spot and started helping those who needed it ( and I taught the Resource Room Monitor a couple things). So, for the most part they left me alone.



So you don't need a computer, Internet connection, website, or even product of your own is necessary to begin (although it is very helpful). The methods I will be covering may not be your ultimate business goal, but it's a way to get there.



Do you know what your ultimate business will even be? It's always good to have an end goal to work towards. It'll be easier if you build a list of prospects in the same area of interest from the beginning than switch later on down the road. So take a few minutes and think about it. It doesn't need to be specific, just a generality will do for now. Mine has changed several times over that last 4 years.



What do you LOVE doing and never get tired of? It can be a hobby, a craft, family, maybe something you have an deep interest in, but not much knowledge or skill in yet? Think of a few years down the road, what can you see youself doing? What do you love to share or talk about? Mine is helping folks, like you find that thing or things and build a business or businesses based on it. I also love sharing what I know with others, and I love being online, so I started teaching when I found a conferencing company that is both affordable and let's me sell rooms. There are free ones out there, but they don't have ALL the features I would like.



You have a couple choices. With thinking of your end goal in mind, do you want to sell products? Or, do you like to write? Don't worry about not being good enough at this point. Our free training will help you there. You'll be doing both, but you'll probably lean more towards one than the other. Many people make money with promoting products, and others make money from mainly writing.



The quickest way to begin is is combining the two. For products, go to
Clickbank, PayDotCom, and Commission Junction . Sign up with them, it's free, and poke around at the products, pick out a few. if you need help setting it up, we'll do that in our traing too.



Sign up at
Paypal, so you can get paid.



You may want to have an
online Clickbank Mall there are several others that I will list next time. Anytime you go to a site & they have a link to a partners or affiliate program which is free- sign-up, couldn't hurt. I suggest you keep your affiliate links in a Notepad file on your desktopwhile you'll be using them. I have sooo many, that I put several files into a folder on my desktop.



For those who like to write. There are several things you can do. Sign up with
Blogger , to get paid to write articles, there's Helium . EzineArticles which will help you gain exposure and establish you as an expert in your field.

I was hoping to give you some free gifts, but the hard drive of my server crashed and I need to set that up again. Sorry about that.

Have to get back to work.

To your success,

Kathy Pop

What Is PP Marketing Anyway?

PPMarketing or Piss Poor Marketing was thought up from a couple of Marketers who don't have a Pot to Piss in. Hence the tips, strategies, training, tools, and even the membership at the website is totally free and created for other Piss Poor Marketers. That's not to say I will not sell things at all. Just that there will only be 1 membership level- FREE and any OTO's offered by PPMarketing - will be FREE of charge as well. I want this site to remain free so that all the other PPMs out there can use the strategies, tools, tips, and training so that they will soon be able to buy a pot to piss in.

There have been a couple times in my life when I have lost absolutely EVERYTHING! Then had to find ways to get back on my feet again. So PPMarketing is about starting w/o investing a single penny of your own- which could also include computer and Internet Service. You may find yourself on Information Overload with all the freebies I give you. There's just soooo much of it out there! I want this blog to be interactive, and invite you to please feel free to share any free resources that you may come across or stories of your own.

The next post will cover these basics and just how do you do it without even a computer??? You'll just have to wait & find out.

The site is still under construction- hey, give me a break, I just thought of this the other night! ;-)

Til next time,

Kathy Pop
