Make Money Online
Since making money online can be accomplished with $0 in start-up costs, the money that you make could be considered free money. One of the benefits of making money online is that the selling, delivery of the product and method of payment can all be automated. That's why a lot of internet entrepreneurs say that they "earn money while they sleep" or "earn money while on vacation."
For example, a website that is built and has traffic makes money through advertising. It doesn't matter what the owner of the site is doing at any time of the day. The website is running, people are viewing the pages and because of that the owner makes money. However, there is a lot of work involved in getting to that point. Owning a website is just one example. There are multiple ways of making money online:

So how can all this be done with $0 start-up costs? The statement presumes that you already have a lot of the equipment you need, like a computer with internet access, camera, webcam, etc., depending on what you want to do. If you don't already have the hardware, then there are many ideas offered on this site that explain how you can get those for free (start with The Classified Ads, Reuse and Sharing Sites, Trade and Barter, Free Internet). You can also get a website for free with free web building tools at OfficeLive.com. You can get free software to edit photographs, videos or whatever you choose to do. You can get free material to sell through the public domain.
There are plenty of free resources available to make money online. However, there may be some debate as to whether using free resources exclusively is the best way to make money online. Some would argue that if you can sell more by paying some small fees then it would be worth it. For example, eBay is listed above as one of the resources you can use to make money online. Ebay requires listing fees (ie. it's not free). There are free alternatives to eBay, including resources that charge no fees at all and resources that only take a percentage after a sale is made. However, most resources don't even compare with eBay in website traffic, so you could make more sales and more money with eBay. For more resources see the Make Money Online Directory.
