In the 1982 comedy “Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid“, Steve Martin utters these words to Rachel Ward, in a hilarious scene where the coffee he is pouring never seems to end. I laugh every time I see it.

But what does this movie scene have to do with how to make money online, the subject about which this blogger writes?

Well, it got me to thinking about how much it cost to start up a business these days. In a recent article on the “Entrepreneur” website, they wrote about 55 different businesses one could start up for under $5,000. The suggestions range all the way from a professional job as an accountant, to becoming a pet sitter. One of the other jobs listed was as a consultant.

Since being a consultant is what I do for a living, as well as being an internet marketer and trainer, I think I am pretty qualified to comment on this subject. I suppose it depends on what kind of  consultant work one does to determine for sure the startup costs. But trust me. It cost me a lot more than $5,000 to start up a legitimate consultant business.

But the point I want to drive home here is that there are a lot of very affordable internet businesses that one can start. And guess what? They can cost less that a cup of coffee per day.

To make money online with ACME People Search cost about $1.33 a day, and according to this article on Examiner.com, that’s less than what a cup of java costs these days.

Compared to a brick and mortar business like a restaurant, or even starting up a business like an accountant or pet sitter, that is a real bargain!

So check out ACME People Search and GDI. Working from the comfort of your own home sure beats working for someone else. And, you can get a cup of famous java any time you choose to do so.
