If you're new to the Minecraft server community, and currently make $0/m, but have $0 to invest into a business/community/server, there's only 1 real business model I'd recommend.
Too many people come into the community, and leave really fast because they're trying to do something too complex that ends up wasting their time (and, sometimes even the little bit of money they've made) - They're now back where they started, and that's why they leave.
Here's what I'd recommend..
Selling premade Minecraft servers on websites like BuiltByBit, and PolyMart. But, the difference is, you won't use any premium, paid for, or custom plugin, you'll make everything using free (and open source) resources. For every decently popular premium resource out there, there's 3-4 really good, free alternatives.
You go crazy with every single setup you make, editing every single config as much as you can. What's great about this model is that you can repurpose the configurations of specific (popular) plugins from your server setup, and then sell them as their own entity; that way, people who just need one thing (such as a shop or crates) can easily get it without the need of buying a full setup.
This will also teach you a lot about sales, which I'd also recommend learning/reading up on as much as you can before getting involved here.
Once you have a decent portfolio of projects out there, you can create threads on these web forums (and on various Discords, too) offering your services, where you'd make a fully custom server, or configure a plugin for someone exclusively.
The market isn't saturated, and you can easily make $500 /m from just this, which you can then invest into your own custom Minecraft server, and start making upwards of $2,000/m passively!
