How to Start an Online Business With Just $100 (Even If You’re Not a Techie)
Think you need thousands of dollars and a computer science degree to start a business? Think again.
Right now, millions of creators, freelancers, and side-hustlers are launching online businesses for less than $100 — all thanks to free tools, smart strategies, and a little courage.
Step 1: Pick a Niche That Solves a Real Problem
Forget about saturated trends. Instead, ask: What do people already pay for that I can do better, cheaper, or smarter?
- Dog training tips? (High-paying audience)
- Freelance copywriting for small businesses?
- Notion templates for productivity?
Tip: Use AnswerThePublic or Reddit to see what people complain about — then solve it.
Step 2: Choose Free or No-Code Tools
Don’t hire developers. Don’t spend $2,000 on branding. Use these instead:
- Website: Carrd.co or Google Sites
- Payments: Gumroad or Payhip
- Design: Canva (Free plan works)
- Email: MailerLite or ConvertKit (free tiers)
With $19 for a Carrd Pro plan and $30 for a domain name, you’ve still got $50+ left.
Step 3: Launch Ugly, Learn Fast
Perfection is a trap. Instead, launch quickly and talk to real users.
Write one blog post. Post a TikTok. Offer your first product or service. See what sticks. Adapt. Iterate. Repeat.
“Done is better than perfect — especially when it costs less than dinner.”
Step 4: Monetize From Day One
You don’t need 10,000 followers. You need one offer. Try:
- A $7 digital guide or checklist
- Freelance service via Fiverr or Upwork
- Template pack sold via Gumroad
Pro Tip: Use social platforms to share real insights, not just ads. Give away value. Trust follows.
Real Talk: What Can You Expect?
This won’t make you rich overnight. But it can get you your first sale — and maybe change your life.
Most million-dollar creators started small. Many started with nothing but a laptop, an idea, and Wi-Fi.
Your $100 might just be enough to join them.
