Start up - how much do you really need?

[timothywcrane]

$600.... Six figures in 36 months or thereabout.

Another actual and positve answer... Many thanks. So far the answer is 0-$600.
That's hopeful.

Let me answer your title question son:
1999: 30k+
2019: 300+

If you have great ideas, venture capitalist will be ready to fund your ideas. Shark tank kind of shows examples of how very basic ideas turn great..

I was planning to associate with VC with financial background, but didn't realize they funded on solely ideas. Basically a flawless powerpoint and a domain.
Other than that, Kevin O'Leary would litigate you to think shark tank would fund ideas.

It all depends on what kind of business you are trying to sart

Most of the successful startups get funded so you need some good idea in my opinion first.

I think more than capital what anyone needs to start up is self motivation and believe in yourself and whatever venture you choose to undertake.

No offense meant or taken. I think we both are here to help. What are the OPs goals and intentions?

There is a large difference between if he seeks long term tech on tech SEO for wide coverage/high income, or if he seeks social>SEO>Human intervention for quick bucks.

As it IS getting tougher... I just want to foster creativity/hope to those who may be looking for a little money, and maybe not a ROI using a tech based infrastructure combined with highly leveraged investment model...

BHW has always kinda been my home block... as I move alot. I only come out to blab occasionally, but I have always supported the new kids on the block (not the band - yeeck). Maybe I'm just ole' fashioned, but I don't believe in unrealistic expectations, but encourage them, for without them we are either stagnant or in decline.

It costs a lot more than it did before, and the areas of production are constantly in flux.

But this is also BHW. What happens when you lose it all, down to the last IP and your last account is a gambling site in Macau?

You head on down to the public library and you break your library cards TOS, pull up referenceUSA, a cell phone on free wifi and sell some B2B clickbank over the telephone.

Laws broken Zero....
TOS broken...... who knows
The knowledge that you never have to spend a more than a few dimes total and none of "your own"...
Priceless.

So please OP... we all seem to be here to help, could you further clarify?

I respect what you are saying... we all can help from different perspectives...the old saying is “there is always another way to skin a cat” that’s the web business in a nutshell.

Quite... Plus I think the OP was referring to what each of our stories was, an what WE started with... not asking to be spoon fed what he might need. If he wanted a spoon fed budget for a campaign or link agency platform out of the box by industry standards he/she would have scoped the question as such... even I started to take up that assumption in the fork debate. A total misunderstanding... which the became fertile fruit for alternative viewpoints (the cat skinning methods in the form of divergent business models).
