Many online business ideas require some level of financial investment to get them started. If you have plenty of money you can manage a project and outsource all the work but otherwise you will need to roll your sleeves up and do it yourself.

There are however good and affordable online success methods that can be started up on a shoe string budget. Let set an initial set up cost for this enterprise at $100. Where would you spend this and why?

Look at your own interests and hobbies and pick a topic you know a lot about and can write easily 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. You must look into what people are looking for. What answers to their problems do they have.

You have to source a good and relevant item to sell from your webpage. I recommend that you produce your own product in the form of an ebook that speaks to the needs of your niche. I always send my ebooks out as pdf's. You can convert a word document to a pdf using one of the many free pdf converters available.

Once you have your product you can create a sales page that sells your newly produced ebook. To host I would use the free blogging tool at 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. Paypal do not charge up front for using their banking. they make their money from commisons on your sales. 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. What to do eh? thats what I call affordable online success.
