I`m just going to put it out there and hope to GOD that there will be understanding and plenty advice. What I`d like to say is I`ve been through the mill and I`m tired of being around those that do nothing more than bring you down. I`m grateful I had the ability to recognize and got out when I did, but now I want to grow, show and prove. I`m ready but I`m starting from day one with damn near no scratch except about.....honestly.....$20. Yes I`m serious! Without telling my while life story let`s just say that I want to do something with my life and I need to hear some ideas, please. How does a brother who realizes that the only real way to make it in this world is to do it the old fashioned way....earn it legally. But to tell you the truth I don`t have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out. What I do have is a dream, or what I should say is I know I want to do something but with only $20 and a dream I have no idea what. I`m open to any and all advice coming my way. I`ve been considering something online since right now all I have is $20 and a laptop.

Hi Ronnell,

You can get a free Blogger Blog and promote affiliate programs for free.  Because you can`t spend the money you are going to have to spend the time to get things going.  It won`t be instant but you can build it up.  I just listened to a podcast by Adsense Annie who goes through how to choose a niche for Adsense. 

Here`s where you can find the podcast:

It`s not easy to build a business on very little investment, but the internet makes it much more possible then it used to be. 

Businesses are born from solving problems.  Yes, it takes money to get things going but you first have to start with an idea.  Fuel it with passion and you`ll be headed in the right direction.  Don`t let that $20 impede you.  Start with a concept you will enjoy succeeding with.
