Well, that’s a tough job — but we surely can at least give you a piece of valuable startup advice to lead you onto the right path.  Here are our 7 recipes — get yourself prepared to make notes. 1. Offer equity instead of money. That’s exactly what Facebook founders did. 2. Hire interns — and start paying them after they get experience and you get more money. 3. Hire part-timers or students. Use freelance platforms like Upwork to find people ready to work for a small price because they need experience. 4. Postpone compensation for the achievement of certain goals and milestones. But be careful with the wording: you don’t need any law problems right from the start.  5. Make things mutual. If you have some services you’re ready to deliver in exchange for the services you urgently need, it can become a promising start of the initially efficient business model. 6. Hire close friends and relatives. Most commonly, these people will want you to succeed and gladly postpone receiving the first compensation. 7. Inspire the desirable employees. Vision is the key to success.
