Many years ago, I came to a place in my life where I realized that I was broke a lot. I always worked and I usually had some type of job that paid me enough to keep a roof over my head and buy food. But when I started examining my relationship with money, I recognized that money “flowed through my hands like water.”

That meant that I had a spending problem more than a not enough money problem. I had never learned how to budget, and I never gave saving money any serious thought. I simply spent what was left after rent and bills however I wanted. Realizing this, I gradually got better at paying attention to what I was spending money on, and I understood that I needed to do some kind of budgeting to prevent losing too much money each month.

By changing my mindset about spending money, I discovered that I was able to avoid doing a lot of impulse buying. This made it much easier to make sure that I had enough money in the bank to cover expenses and a few extras. These days I can be patient about making certain purchases, preferring only to buy extras when I know I have enough money in the bank to afford them.

From personal experience, I know that this is the best mindset to have when it comes to managing personal finances.

I’m saying all of this because you may be looking for methods that show you how to start affiliate marketing with no money. It may be that at this time in your life, finding money to start an online business is hard to come by. But I can’t in good conscience let you think that you can be successful at affiliate marketing without making some kind of monetary investment. Most businesses require funding to get started and this one is no exception.

You need to have some kind of income from a job, or other source, that can provide you with seed money to get off to a good start. The good news is that you can get started for less than $100. And when you think about it, that’s only a tiny fraction of what you’d need if you were starting a brick-and-mortar business or even a food cart.

So, while you may have very limited funds right now to put towards your dream of being an affiliate marketer, you don’t really need much money at all to make that dream a reality.

When the opportunity came to start her dream business there was only one problem. She only had $5 to put towards fulfilling her first customer order.
