My Three Online Businesses You Can Start Today with $0

When it comes to making money online, it seems like there are so many people giving false information and promoting sc@ms. So, in today's blog, I’m going to share some real, credible information on the best online businesses to start as a beginner.

In this post, I will share three specific online business models. The first one is the easiest, perfect for someone with no skills who wants to start immediately. The second is another easy model that you can also begin right away. Lastly, the third model has the potential to make you the most money the fastest.

For each of these online businesses, I have made full step-by-step tutorials—completely free—that you can check out. This is typically where others fall short. They share business ideas but don’t teach you how to execute them unless you pay for a course or some other upsell. Let’s dive in!

Best Online Businesses to Start as a Beginner

Credibility and Proof

Before jumping into the details, let me establish a bit of credibility. If you’re anything like me, you probably need proof before taking advice from someone on financial or business matters. Over the years, I’ve personally tried and tested all three of these business models, earning approximately $3 million in profit. These models absolutely work. I’ve learned them inside and out and have shared detailed tutorials on how to replicate my success.

Without further ado, let’s get started with the first business model. If you find this post helpful, please share your thoughts in the comments.

Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP)

The first business model, Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP), is the easiest one to start today. If you have no prior experience, this is for you.

KDP allows you to create and sell books on Amazon. But don’t worry—you don’t have to write a full novel. You can create simple items like daily planners, blank journals, or even word search books. Here’s how it works:

• Create the book’s content (like blank pages, templates, or word searches) and design its cover.

• Upload the files to Amazon.

• Amazon then handles the printing, shipping, and customer service easily for you.

Real-Life Example: For instance, search for "Online Businesses You Can Start Today" on Amazon, and you’ll find dozens of results. Most of these are created using Amazon KDP. Sellers design the cover and content, upload the files, and Amazon does the rest. This model requires minimal investment and no marketing budget, making it perfect for beginners.

Print-On-Demand

The second business model is Print-On-Demand (POD). While it’s slightly more challenging than KDP, it’s still beginner-friendly. Instead of books, you create designs for products like t-shirts, mugs, and phone cases.

Here’s how it works:

• Design your product (e.g., a graphic for a t-shirt).

• Upload the design to a POD platform like Amazon Merch or Redbubble.

• When someone orders, the platform prints and ships the product for you.

Real-Life Example: Search for "funny MrBeast t-shirts" on Amazon, and you’ll notice listings with a label that reads “Amazon Merch on Demand.” These are POD products. The seller only uploads the design, and Amazon handles the rest. However, unlike KDP, you need to apply for an Amazon Merch account, which may take up to two weeks for approval.

Affiliate Marketing

The third and final business model is affiliate marketing, which has the highest earning potential but is also the most challenging. Affiliate marketing simply means promoting other peoples or companies’ products and earning a commission for every sale made through your referral link.

How It Works:

• Sign up for affiliate programs (e.g., Amazon Associates or specific company programs).

• Promote products using unique referral links.

• Earn commissions for each successful sale.

Real-Life Example Imagine you’re a beauty enthusiast. You could create a video titled "Best Beauty Products for Beginners," recommending different products. Add your affiliate links to these items in the video description. When viewers click your links and make a purchase, you earn a commission.

Challenges: Affiliate marketing often requires creating content, like blog posts or YouTube videos, to attract an audience. Additionally, you may need access to the products you’re promoting. However, if you already own items you’d like to recommend, you can get started quickly.

Conclusion

These are the best online businesses to start as a beginner, and I can personally vouch for their effectiveness. Whether you’re looking for something low-risk like KDP, slightly more creative like Print-On-Demand, or a high-potential model like affiliate marketing, these options are a great starting point.
