Many people think about starting a free online business but very few will actually do anything about it.
It is the starting that is most difficult.
There is so much inertia in individuals that they never get off their backside and take action to earn or make money online.
If you are reading this you have probably started to take action which is brilliant.
There are important things to get right when you start an online business and in particular a free online business.
Most of these have to do with your mindset.
If you expect to get rich quick and easily then you will be disappointed.
You might do but for most internet business owners their business is one of hard work and application.
The main thing when you want to do business at little or no cost is to stick to that decision.
Create a budget for your online spending and keep to it.
My budget is $50 a month.
This focuses your efforts on doing activities that are cheap and effective.
Free money making website.
Blogger.
com is the best way to set up a free website in my opinion because it is easy to set up and use.
Squidoo comes in a close section but the sites often look busy and cluttered to my eye.
Decide what your website is about and keep the theme very focussed.
Start writing blog posts of 300 - 400 words daily to start getting traffic.
What to sell on a free website You can find over 10,000 products to sell online at clickbank.
com.
These are all digital products that are downloadable.
Select a good product in your niche and put the affiliate links on the website.
Getting free traffic to your website The best way to do this is to post daily on your blog.
A second way is to sign up to EzineArticles.
com and write articles about your niche.
The links at the bottom of your article will point visitors to your website.
I write many articles per day for lots of websites and the traffic I get is huge.
If you have done a good job of the blog you will get people clinking through to the sales page of the clickbank product you are promoting.
