Many online business ideas require some level of financial investment to get them started. The level that you pitch in will be determined by your budget and the potential of your online money making machine.

There are however good and affordable online success methods that can be started up on a shoe string budget. Imagine that you have a budget of $100 (£50) to start your own first online business. Where would you spend this and why?

You need to research a theme or niche that your website will focus on. The internet is full of top quality software and information that we can use to keep our spending as low as possible. I used wordtracker free version to start with but now have the full program. So do your research to find a niche that has people looking for answers.

Now you must come up with a hot product or item to sell to the website visitors. I recommend that you produce your own product in the form of an ebook that speaks to the needs of your niche. You can convert it to a pdf document for downloading using one of the free pdf converters.

Having written or sourced your product you now need to work on a sales page that will convert website visitors into customers. The hosting and website will be taken care of by blogger. The sites are easy to mange and you can set it up in minutes,

To take payments you can use a buy now button from paypal. If you do not have an account it is free to set up and in the merchant services section you can prepare your buy now button. You now have your own internet business

So you have managed to find your niche. You also have a new product to sell. You have put your web page up on the blogger site and you have unstalled your purcahse system. The only problem is that you still haven’t spent your budget of $100. Now what can I spend irt on? thats what I call affordable online success.
