can it be done? you hear about it all the time on the tv and radio that this person grew up with no carpets,no money and now they are rolling in it. i think that these things happen by chance, you have to be in the right place at the right time and meet the right person. there are not many people out there that would give you the time of day unless there was something in it for themselves. ok, back to the question..... what kind of things do people do for money that dont cost anything, or if it does its a matter of a few bucks. i know there are no get rich schemes and you have to gain respect and find your market, that is all hard work i know, but how do people do it?

Granted some people get lucky. Others just have a natural ability and do well in school and managed to get a good job, enabling them later to set up their own business. And for that to be successul you usually need more than luck.

There is no such thing as "something for nothing". Even in Free to join sites online, you need to give your time and effort into it to make money. I don't subscribe to the idea of something for nothing. But if you're serious about making money, then educate yourself about it and learn as quick as you can. There are lots of scammers out there. In order for you to be at the right place at the right time, you need to create your own luck.

Hello snoopypoos! What an interesting topic you got here!I for one, is in constant search of ways to make money with little or a few bucks of money as capital. I'm not the type who takes the risk of spending a lot on a scheme or investment that I'm not sure will work. I take losses very seriously so I guard my money well. Anyways, I also think it's more realistic that we need to spend even a few bucks first, to make some more. The ones who get rich without capital are the lucky ones who, as you say, happen to be at the right place at the right time. There are actually ways to make money if you don't have much to start with. First, you can borrow from someone and then do buy and sell. You can pay back your capital in staggard payment until all that's left is the money that you earned from the business. Next, you can capitalize on your innate talent. Just like me, I'm a self-taught graphic designer who accepts job orders in the comfort of my home. I do business over the phone, email my finished work and then accept payment through my bank account. All I need is a computer and internet connection. I must say that when you bank in your talent, you tend to profit more because you know and love what you do. You can also do other things that people find hard to do or not have the time to do. But as for getting rich this way, I have yet to prove to myself that it can be done, but I'm on my way there! =) Hope others can share more insight on this topic. Thanks and goodluck!
