    Zero cost no.

    Minimal cost yes.

      Yes I agree with you that without any investment, you can't make money. To start a business online, you need at least a hosting account, domain name and a autoresponder services which is a minimum in my opinion.

      If you do not have those, I do not consider it a business.

    Actually, it can be done with zero cost initially but do not expect to get rich that way ... or even be able to make much of a living.

      No it can't. Your internet connection costs you something...so zero cost no.

    Yep I agree.

    It is almost like hoping that money will fall from the sky.

    I think we need to sow and we will reap something.

    Maybe the next bubble will be finding old blogs, rehabbing them and flipping them for profit!

    I might be on to something, I better go write a how-to guide and start my money making website where I sell it.

    Hehehehehe.

    zero cost...yes you can BUT it will only be a small return. If you use that small return to invest and make more then you can build your fortune slowly.

    The Internet is like any business, the more money you have to start up the easier it is but you can start with nothing...and like with any business only 0.00000001% will make a million instantly which is where most Internet entrepeneurs fail as they have the wrong mindset before they start.

    An example of starting Internet business without money.... www.squidoo.com ..write some lens and promote them, yes you wont get rich but I have a few and make enough to get a small payment every month...or you could sign up at www.rentacoder.com and bid for work writing for others etc.

    u still need some money to get online in the first place unless everything is paid for...

    then how can you online without paying your internet bill

    You can get online for free at many libraries. Writing articles, press releases and other online content is a viable way to earn at least some money. Free blogger account, free affiliate commissions with a few products and it is something ... even if not much. So yes, it is possible.

    Yes you can.. but you will take more time to reach your goal and work harder! Scam people can help you to boost but you can go to jail

      @ johntan I agree, you need these things to at least get started.

      @ Anomaly good ideas there also.

      Another thing that you can do that will give you a free product to start with is get the PLR free ebooks from giveaways. Re-write them...mostly they aren't very good in the first place...so you've improved the quality of your product right off the bat. Of course, this assumes you've spent the time educating yourself on the subject beforehand.

      But while you are writing your product, you will need to continue providing quality content to your blog and promoting it to build up your traffic. It is a bit of a juggling act, but it is possible to learn what works as you go along. Just don't expect it to be quick and easy---there's a tremendous amount of work involved. Therefore---in a sense, a start up even with the suggestions above never is free. Your time is worth money, and a free start up=major amount of effort and time.

    Nope... It is impossible to earn money online without losing some money in it,

    why? Like they said, Internet bill is a must, what you really invest a lot is your time. So use your time wisely. Going for free internet access can really save you money but the Internet take more your time than your money. So for time being, have Internet access and your time is enough to earn money.

    If you discount the cost of Internet connection, you can start small with a free blog, squidoo lens, writing articles, etc. The best starting point is to find a good affiliate programme.
    When you start earning money you can invest that: domain name, hosting, advertising... and earn big if you work smartly.

    I have been selfemployed for 35 years, when you are spending 10 thousand a month on advertising your business is working.. It is almost impossible to make money with a free product..

    The Internet is the most Powerful tool in the World, The World, So the answers Is YES, you can make money online without spending a dime, It's easy. Well It's more simple than easy becasue you will have to put a little time into it.
    If your Not making money online then you must have all the money you need or you found something better to do. I can't think of anything better for my computer to do than to make me money 24 hours a day. I'm not even going to drop a link because if you want FREE money, you'll find it.
