Setting up a home based business is not without its problems. I have read many stories online about people spending several thousand dollars before they eventually found a way to make money online. With so many scams online it is hard to know which opportunities are genuine and which ones have been set up for short term gain for the owners. There are too many people ready to take our money so that they might get rich and in return they have very little to offer us. We lose our money and then move on to the next exciting opportunity. Eventually we realise like those who have gone before us that there is no such thing as a get rich quick opportunity and that if we are to make regular money online we have to start at the beginning and learn our trade.

So how can we ensure that we have the best chance of making money online without spending a fortune? There are some gurus who say it is possible to start a home based business without spending any money at all. There are lots of sites where you can start blogs, write adverts, create web pages, write articles all of which are free. It is also possible to find free training that will take you easily to intermediate level. Many successful entrepreneurs will share their secrets through their blogs and their articles. If you sign up to a newsletter you will often find that you have signed up to a mini course that will give you the basics you need to get you started.

Once you have mastered the basics you may decide that you need a little more help and may choose to sign up to a paid course or maybe to buy an eBook that is in itself a teaching aid. All of these things are readily available online. If you want to shorten the time it takes to find this sort of information then it is worth signing up for one or two web 2.0 sites such as Facebook and Twitter so that you can find out from other people what they are doing and you can ask for recommendations of sites and courses that may help to take your home based business to the next level.

Whatever you decide decide to do to get your home based business up and running you can be sure that there will be lots of opportunities that will pop up to grab your attention and encourage you to part with your cash. Just remember the chances are you can manage without that opportunity and there are many people online who have started successful businesses without spending a fortune.
