Trying to start a Small Business

I have been out of work for a while and stumbled onto a group that helps people start online small businesses, selling World of Warcraft Addons. My only problem, right now, is that there are a lot of upfront costs that have put me behind the eightball while working to try and get things up and running. I'm a pretty generous person and usually will try to help others whenever I can, so I am hoping some of that might come back my way. If I can get back on my feet, with this, you can be sure I will pay it forward. Please help me out, if you can.
