Well, imagine this: You want to start a business, but someone says, "No, you can't do that with that amount of money; it won't cover the costs."
What do you think after hearing that? Yeah, you will retreat because you are scared of wasting money.
But you forget one thing.
We live in the same sea but use different ships.
The one who says "no, you can't do that" might already hold a silver (or worst, a golden) spoon.
They were already rich since birth, but you are not...
So, if you follow that advice, you will never start a business because you are too scared to lose money and time.
But it's not a real business if you use free classes (or free assets) from the internet... Have you ever felt ashamed?
Yes, you may have heard that once in your life, but our advice is just to ignore it.
Just start it, and make it better later.
How?
There is a solution. How about you just use the free tools you can find on the internet?
Is that legal? Yes.
The internet is full of nice people who share their work for free to make society better.
Just use free tools.
If you open GitHub, you will find someone releasing free LLMs, so you can host them on your own server.
Our blog here uses GitHub to store our code, uses Netlify's free tier for hosting, and uses Eleventy as the base because we love static sites (fast and safe, no server stuff).
Don't have money to hire a graphic designer? Just visit Gumroad, and you will find good people sharing their work for free, really...
Go visit Google Fonts for free typefaces; find whatever font you want to use. Go to Material Design too, and you will find free assets for your design.
Don't have time to make a website template? Just go to Framer.
Even big giant companies have FREE TIERS in their own business models. Yes, they want you to use their products. Try it... start it...
See? It's fine to use free assets from the internet. It's fine to use free tiers (not premium) from companies.
Just start it, then make it premium when you have already earned money.
