New to starting a business. I used to have no money when I first tried it and figured I needed money. So I worked IRL for awhile and it took me a long time just to make 150 cuz yk like bad conditions for me.

What should I invest in and how should i use this money as a startup seed? the investment should be recouped 100% only if i put enough time and efforts into my work.

TLDR; Looking for Tips/Ideas on money making method basically(with 150USD).

there are many business online to invest with include crypto stake and importation business from other locations that sells/manufacture at low pricing to resell at other countries/locations for profit trade.
 
$150 won't take you too far. I suggest you work for someone else, like doing VA work and other things according to your skills and build something on the side. If you go all in with your money right now, you'll burn it in no time.
 
With $150 I’d avoid risky investments and start a service business instead

Pick one skill you can sell such as SEO content editing or social media work and use the money for basic tools and outreach

Your time and skill will be the main investment
 
You could get a domain name and year worth of shared hosting but won't be left with much to scale anything.

My suggestion would be look into reselling digital products, provided you can find a cheap or free source of traffic.
 
Instead of putting the $150 into a risky investment start with a service based skill like video editing graphic design or social media management. Use free tools find clients and only invest in paid tools once you start earning. Your first investment should be time + skill not money.
 
There are thousands of ways to earn money online. You can't do that all at once, so you need to pick a way based on your time and skills. It's not possible for anyone to give you a method without knowing anything about you.

The best strategy is a service-based business, where your $150 is used exclusively for software tools, outreach, or learning skills, while your time and effort generate the actual profit.
 
with 150 bucks i wouldnt even bother with hosting or domains yet. grab a couple of aged reddit or twitter accounts from a marketplace and use them to soft-promote affiliate offers in niche communities. use free trials for keyword research and just grind out the manual outreach... its kinda tedious but it actually works to flip that 150 into something you can actually build a real site with.
 
You want to start a business with $150 and expect a 100% return? Usually, that's very difficult and unlikely to go far. You could suggest a new investment or becoming a virtual assistant for someone.
 
$150 is enough to start, but I’d focus more on a skill than an investment. Pick one service you can actually sell, use free tools at first, and reinvest the first earnings into better tools and outreach.

Nice joke he has got only 150$ of his own money. Even the day traders of Goldman Sachs and jp Morgan don't do day trading with their own money.
No one does day trading with their own money. If you do you are the sucker.

With that amount of money, it's very difficult to recoup your investment or invest in a crucial skill like sales skills, or to find a product where you can both learn and earn extra income and capital
 
In the age of ai accessing information is incredibly easy, try to serve people as much as possible and develop your skills without focusing too much on money
 
don't waste your 150 bucks please, it's nothing to get started and although you could make a small ROI on that, it's so unncertain to do it. Don't waste money you're not sure you can get back.

work as a Va, as someone else suggested, find little jobs etc

May be a blog but be ready to work very hard on it. This is a very small capital and thus you have to balance it with lot of work. Good luck.
