Hmm. Could work. Just have to decide for a kind of service to offer.

Just grow some oysters, it's more than a hundred dollars but basically becomes the price of rye grain and straw, you'll break even in 3 months and then it's all profit, setup a grow room, you won't regret it.

You could bake cookies or cook chocolate-covered pumpkin seeds or beef jerky and other edibles and sell them on sites like Etsy, or around the neighborhood. You can also buy pure supplement powder in bulk, put them in capsules with a $20 capsule filling machine, and sell them online in a similar manner. I do not recommend door to door or selling supplements in public in this way, it looks super sketchy and screams drug dealer, or that you're trying to poison the neighborhood lolz.
You could provide services, such as teaching a musical instrument or tutoring math or a 2nd language, whatever it is you're good at. And that would cost you absolutely no start-up, unless you teach something that requires equipment such as personal fitness training.

Not in such small quantities if it is not processed beyond a certain point.

Could you potentially be held liable though if somebody gets food poisoning or some type of weird parasite from consuming your oysters? That's the only thing that would worry me, since oysters are mostly consumed raw, and tanks are generally breeding grounds for bacteria if you don't know what you're doing.

Yes. Which is why you get insurance. It is very inexpensive though. Mine runs me 310$ a year and has 1,000,000 liability coverage.
"While there really are no average business liability insurance costs for both small and large businesses, we can consider some sample scenarios. A sole proprietor might pay $500 per year for general liability insurance, but a small consulting firm is likely to pay over $3,000 per year.

I'm pretty sure you're talking about oysters as in shellfish, while the others are referring to oyster mushrooms. Hence the rye and straw and there's a vastly less complex production process and reduced risk of food poisoning etc.

If you have a pussy, startup costs are only a oouple of bucks for a pack of rubbers. After the first cock, you can invest in more rubbers.
I guess it would work for guys too, in the right neighborhood.

Ohhhhhhhh…. makes perfect sense now. Yeah, I was talking about the oysters.
I've thought about starting an escargot farm and selling them to every French restaurant. Usually restaurants use canned snails, so preparing escargot from FRESH, LIVE snails would be a very unique selling point.

Sell merchandise you can inventory for 60-70 dollars and use the remaining to enable yourself to sell it and sell said merchandise for slim profits, rinse and repeat.

Buying and re-selling on eBay and similar sites. I'm pretty sure it's free to make an account. But then you'd need to purchase or have stock to sell. I don't think it costs much at all to register a trading name also

Ah, but if OP buys that book, he won't have the full $100 to start the business.
Cheap ass bicycle, cooler, ice, icecream treats. Sell them for more than you pay. Sure you won't have much inventory but maybe, if you are in a good location, climate, you can re-up everyday. Winter months, huhmm, a cooler can keep things warm, just as well as cold.... I am not gonna fucking hold your hand here you figure it out.
http://gen.lib.rus.ec/search.php?req=100+startup&lg_topic=libgen&open=0&view=simple&phrase=1&column=def You can borrow it free (download it) from the internet library.
OP, Can you germinate seeds? You can start a business for a dollar. Go to the supermarket and buy a beefsteak tomato, or get someone to buy a tomato for you. Cut it open and take out the seeds, then eat the tomato. Germinate the seeds and in 30 days you'll have 100 seedlings 4 inches tall that are each worth a dollar to sell. They are a good buy for a dollar because in 55 more days each plant can produce an average of 15-18 pounds of tomatoes. The seedlings you don't sell, just plant them and in another 55 days sell the tomatoes. If it works out well you can turn your $1 investment into a couple grand within 90 days. Imagine if you planted all the seeds from your next crop of tomatoes. The sky's the limit. You are only limited by how hard you can work and how much you can sell. I recommend selling your seedlings and tomatoes on craigslist in the farming and gardening section.

didn't read thread but with a computer you can learn to program pretty much for free. Lots of money in that. A bunch of people lowball people on craigslist then resell the items.
