If you are at a point in your life where you need some extra income but do not have any income to invest, it can be tough to get started.  But you need not fear, there are many businesses that can be started with no money. 

Assistant – Many people are looking for someone to help them with a variety of tasks and are willing to pay someone to assist them.  This might be running some errands, small things around the house, sorting out paperwork or maybe just spending some time with them.  This type of job would only cost you your time and the money to get to your destination which would be minimal.

Online Work – If you have education or skills, you likely can advertise your services online and find some work.  This runs the gamut from website design, writing, marketing, personal assistant, accountant and pretty much any other task you can think of that people want to outsource.  It can take some time to get yourself established and find enough work to keep you as busy as you would like.

Cleaning – There are always people who are looking to have someone come in and clean their house for them.  This may not be a glamorous or fun job, but it is one that you can get started in easily.  Quite often the clients purchase their own supplies so you only need to worry about getting to your jobs.  Once you have a few clients you can get referrals to help expand your business.

Pet Sitting – This is becoming more popular with more and more people preferring to leave their pets with someone.  The only issue here is if you have room to have the animals at your home or if you can get to the owners home to check up on them.
