by Leslie Truex, Demand Media
It's possible to start a business with little or no money.
There is an adage that states, "It takes money to make money." While money is required to start a business, one doesn't necessarily need a lot of it. With careful planning and budgeting, a person with little income can build a successful business.
Step 1
Make a list of skills and experience you have that can be applied to a business. Utilize what you know, and don't waste time or money learning something new. Consider offering a service based on a skill you can offer. Get up and running quicker by offering services such as child care, tutoring, administrative support or coaching, which tend to cost less to start than products.
Step 2
Make use of what you own to start and run a business. Don't buy a new computer or expensive software, even if the ones you own don't quite meet your needs. Apply this same principle for other tools and resources you may want. Make do with what you've got before investing in something new.

Step 3
Find free or borrow resources you need. Get free advice on creating a business or marketing plan through your local Small Business Administration or SCORE office. Network with people you know to see if you can use or borrow a computer, or visit a local library, most of which offer free access to computers. Obtain free business tools such as e-mail, Web hosting, blogs, fax services, conference lines and document creation software, if you can afford Internet services or have access to a free computer with Internet access.
Step 4
Employ low-cost marketing tactics such as business cards, social networking, e-mail and press releases.
Step 5
Don't spend your profit. Invest as much of your profits back into the business until its got momentum and generating a steady income.

it's ok to admit your mistake.
So you're not getting a job from a welfare recipient,but a past welfare recipient.
Two different things.
Oh really? So you see no difference between a welfare recipient and a business owner?
That begs the question...do you know the difference between male and female?
Just trying to set a baseline on your ignorance.

Know your income limits for the various types of welfare you may be receiving (food stamps, state health plans, SNAP, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, etc). Welfare programs are regulated by state governments, and each state has different income limitations for eligibility to the programs. If you're unsure what your income limitations are to continue receiving welfare, contact the local Human Service Department located in the government pages of the phone book. If your business exceeds the income limitations, you will need to stop receiving welfare benefits.

Consider your skills and experience. What can you offer individuals or business owners that they need? If you have experience with graphic design, writing or web design skills, you have an opportunity to start a business with very little or no investment.

Operate the business as a sole proprietor using your own legal name to begin with, since you can do so without filing paperwork in most states, and without paying to start a Limited Liability Company or a Corporation. If after you've been operating your business for awhile it becomes profitable, you might decide to set up a separate entity and file appropriate paperwork for an LLC or Corporation.

Maintain detailed and accurate financial records for your business. Record each payment received and all business-related expenses. When applying for welfare benefits or re-determining eligibility, you will need to show your business records to ensure you are still within the income limitations to remain eligible for your welfare benefits.

Set up a website to showcase your work examples. You can use free web design or blog tools until you've earned enough money from your business activities to have a more professional website designed.
- 6
Advertise your business. Word of mouth is the most effective form of advertising, and best of all, it's free. Provide a couple of businesses or individuals with your services at no charge in exchange for testimonials you can use in your marketing, and for samples for your website.
