I have been getting asked this question quite a bit from my visitors as well as getting several emails about it. I thought I would blog about it instead of answering the same question over and over. Can you start an online business without a PC or laptop? I will answer this question below and I will also show you a few alternatives that you can use if you don’t own a PC or laptop.
Is it possible to start an online business if you don’t have access to a desktop or a laptop?
Here is my take on this. I would recommend that you have a desktop if you are trying to run a business from your home. I know that there are many of you that don’t, and I am going to show you a few ways that you can get started if you don’t have one right now.
If you have a tablet and you get it setup the right way you can get started with this until you get the funds to buy a computer.
The perfect setup includes the following
- A tablet with enough processing power to be able to run WordPress and a few other applications
- A keyboard for your tablet so that you won’t be trying to type using the touch screen. (This can be a pain in the butt) Especially if you are typing out a 500 word article.
- A mouse for your tablet. This will save you the hassle of having to click with your finger. If you have fat fingers like me this could be a problem.
- A good WiFi connection
- A quiet place for you to concentrate on your work
If you are just getting started and you can’t afford a PC yet, then this would be an alternative until you start raking in the dough.
Here are a few more options that you could use if you are just starting out
If you don’t have a tablet then the next best thing would be to go to your local library or an internet cafe. If you go to the internet cafe or your local library you will get more work done then if you were to do this from home. Reason being is you are going there with the intention of getting some work done and you will have less distractions there.
Before you can do any of this you are going to need the proper training
OK you got the perfect setup. What do you do now? There is only 1 more thing you will need to do after you decide which setup is going to work out the best for you. Sign up for my free training course that will show you how to get rolling. This includes video based learning as well as plenty of text tutorials. There is also live video training every Friday evening where you can ask questions and get help on anything you don’t understand.
I would love to hear about your setup and how you conduct business online. Do you have a mobile setup or do you have a home office? Let me know in the comments below and I will get back to you A.S.A.P

Hi Tejas,
Thanks for chiming in on this post and sharing your online setup with everyone here. I currently use a desktop computer that is almost 8 years old. I need to get a new PC but I feel if it’s not broke why fix it right? I’m glad that you love my website and thanks for keeping up on my blogs. If you ever need a hand with anything let me know.
