Starting a business on a budget! [Video]

Making more money is a great way to safeguard yourself from an ever looming recession!

But what if you’re already strapped for cash?

It’s a common misconception that you need a ton of money to start a business…

And absolutely- if you’re starting a restaurant, a gym, a hotel- or any other business that requires you to have real estate or inventory right off the bat.

But you don’t need a ton of money to start a coaching, consulting, copywriting, or an online marketing business.

Here’s your low cost guide to get started:

1. You’ll need a computer- and if you don’t have a personal one, and you can’t use your computer from work for your side hustle- then you can get a refurbished computer for cheap from Back Market dot com.

I’m cheap when it comes to technology- so I’ve gotten my last few computers from them.

2. You actually don’t need a website… not when you first start out. Set up a social media account where people can discover you- and have a booking link in your bio.

invest in a website after you’ve made some money doing this and have your niche nailed down

3. You’ll need a booking link! Which is just a way for new clients to book on your calendar- I prefer Acuity- but you can also use something like calendly. $15-$25/mo

4. An email address- free to $250 a year for a custom one.

5. Zoom account $15/month

6. A phone- which I assume you have unless you live in a cave and forage for all your own food- and even then you’d be best served by an iphone to help you ID poisonous mushrooms.

7. LLC setup ~$300

8. Credit card processor- square or stripe are great- and they’re $0 to set up- you just pay 2.9% for processing for each payment you receive.

9. Hire Katie to be your business coach! Just kidding- I’m not cheap, but I get my clients results- and if you’re serious about making $10,000+ a month from this business- then I highly recommend booking a call with me… (DM me for the link)

In summation… You don’t need an expensive email marketing platform, or quickbooks, or any other expensive mishagosh till you get a bit bigger. Save your pennies!

Now, stop being a weenie and start your business already!
