Blogging is a still an option

[ed]

Start-up costs: As little as $10-20 per year for domain name, website template, and hosting, depending on the provider selected.
Tools and equipment: Computer, writing skills

One of the easiest businesses to start for less than $1,000 is a blog, says James Pollard, founder of TheAdvisorCoach.com. “I’ve seen lots of people start blogging about topics they’re passionate about and monetize the content,” Pollard said. “For example, someone who’s interested in travel can start a travel blog and can become an affiliate for various hotels and resorts across the globe. Or that person can create an e-book or video course on how to score cheap flights and hotels. This is the type of thing people are willing to pay money to have.”

Start-up costs include purchasing a domain name for a website and ongoing fees for web hosting services. Sites such as Squarespace and WordPress offer particularly cost-effective ways to get started blogging. Squarespace provides everything from custom domains and website templates to SEO features for visibility, website metrics and customer support — all for as little as $10-20 per year.
