Welcome. My name is Travis Phillips and I've been on the Internet quiet a long time now. I've been into making money online for several years as well. Up until now my biggest success online has been with buying and selling domain names. That has been a lot of fun, but now I've decided to take some time and focus on how to start out with nothing and make some money online.
My goal is to start with nothing, no money, and reach a goal of making $500. This would be $500 after expenses. Now what I plan to do is to record in this blog the details of every step I take and provide a running total of how much money I've made. Besides reaching a goal of $500 profit, I hope that you too can take my steps, apply them yourself, and make your own $500 or more!
Now let me say that I'm not starting out with nothing as I already have a computer and an internet connection that I pay for monthly, however these are not a necessity. If you don't have a computer or internet access then check out your local library. Most libraries have computers with internet access that you can use. Even though it limits your access and may take you a bit longer, you can use this method until you have earned enough money to buy a computer and pay for your own Internet access. If you have a friend that has a laptop computer, then maybe you can borrow that, go to your nearest free WiFi hot spot and get on the Internet there. Many restaurants and coffee shops type places offer free internet access. You just have to find it.
So my first step was to start this blog. I'm using Blogger.com because it is free. I have my own web hosting, etc., but since I already pay for that and the purpose of this project is to start without any costs then I have to use a free blogging site. You could also use a site like wordpress.com as well to host your blog. Both are good choices and have pros and cons. I decided to go with Blogger because they allow you to includes ads on your site which can help jump start your revenue. If this is new to you don't worry, I'll explain everything in the coming blog posts.
I have not set a timeline for reaching the $500 goal so we will see how long it takes plus it will be based on how much time I can dedicate to this each week. Since I have other ongoing projects I cannot put 100% of my time on this one, but if you are doing this yourself and have more time, then you should be able to start earning some money quicker.
So if you have stumbled upon my site please leave me a comment and let me know what you think. I would love to hear your feedback about my project and if you are trying this yourself please let me know how it's going for you.
In my next post I will explain step one which was creating this blog. Watch for it coming soon.
