How To Make Money if You Don’t Have Money?

September 29, 2025 - Reading time: 2 minutes

When it comes to making money without capital, I have a list of ideas that I can pull from my small brain...

However, those ideas will not make you filthy rich overnight... Maybe, eventually, if you are consistent...

Again, there are many ideas out there, but I will focus on one that is always working for me…

So here's the scenario:

A friend messaged me with pictures of the items that he wants to let go of, and he says, "Marky, help me sell these items," and then I said, "Okay."

Tomorrow comes, I have an interested buyer, I'm the middleman of their conversation, I arrange the information, and I guide the buyer to the meeting place to pick up the item. The buyer ended up buying three items for the amount of 5000, and that very day I got a 1000 peso commission...

Now... How can you apply this?

Before I spill the strategy, I'd like you to have the following:

  • You should have a friend.
  • You should have a Facebook account.
  • You must know how to be a middleman in conversation.
  • You know how to book an ordering service like Maxim.

If all of the above are checked, you are ready to roll.

  1. Message your friends if they have things that they want to let go of and if they want to earn money out of it.
  2. If they agree, ask for the picture of the product (you don't need to have it on hand.)
  3. Post it on Facebook Marketplace.
  4. If you have an interested buyer, be a middleman in communication and transportation.
  5. Once the deal is closed, ask for a commission.

Voilà! That's the way to earn money without capital.

About

When I'm not working, I'm usually writing down ideas, playing with my cats, doing research on the topic of productivity and human advancement, or enjoying a cup of coffee at the local coffee shop...

I created this website as a replacement for my social media consumption, where I can share a more personal side of me, post updates about what I'm currently up to, and, most importantly, express my thoughts with the world...
