for example if you are an web programmer, here is the break down of my investment,

$10 buy a domain,

$50 buy a hosting service for one year

Total = $60 + applicable taxes

Start programming, if it becomes a hit, u have ur business.

>>the movie "paranormal activity", a Hollywood block buster movie's has a reported budget of $15000 and earned over $100 million.

>>facebook.com started out at a harvard dormroom

>>apple (the corporation with famous gadgets like iphone, ipad and whose annual revenue is $54 billion) started their business by selling a homemade computer for around $600.

>> google.com started out their company from a thesis project

>>the initial investment of digg.com was $1000

there are lots of such example where a company started out with minimal budget and turned out to be a big hit

so yes, its possible to get a company started out with $500, but u need to have a brilliant idea behind it to make it a successful business

if somebody here at sajha starts a thread that he/she want to make a movie for $15000, u guys, I guess, will simply laugh at, am i right?
