I get a lot of newbie questions.
And probably the most asked question is… how do you get started in business (online) if you’re broke as a joke, with not even enough money to buy a $12 book at the bookstore, much less one of the big “must have!” goo-roo info products that cost $1,997 a pop?
How do you get started?
What should you do?
Lucky you I gots me some experience with this.
It wasn’t all that terribly long ago when The Nerd Girl and I were so broke we were sleeping on one of those blow-up aero beds. And then, a few nights after blowing it up, were sleeping on the floor again after her wedding ring (with the sharp, dinky little stone that was all I could afford) punctured it in the middle of the night.
I’ll never forget it, either.
“Nerd Girl, what’s that hissing noise? You got gas?”
“Shut up Ben! I think it’s the bed!”
And then we started sinking….
Ugh.
Not-so-fun times.
Anyway, we were broke from being in debt up to our eyeballs. And so I had no money to buy a lot of products or even books. Instead I did all I COULD do — keep writing, studying ads, reading free resources (like Gary Halbert’s newsletters), etc.
And each dollar I made was then reinvested.
That’s how I built my info product library.
And why I don’t have any nonsense goo-roo products.
When all you have is a set amount of cash, you gotta discriminate big time and ruthlessly ignore BS.
Anyway, so that’s my advice.
There IS light at the end of the tunnel.
You just gotta keep moving towards it.
Even if just one inch at a time.
And speaking of which…
If you can afford .90 cents per day, then the May Crypto Marketing Newsletter issue is a great “jumping on” point for newbies and pros alike.
There’s no sexy goo-roo “super persuasion” stuff inside.
Just solid fundamentals.
Including things even seasoned pros forget.
Frankly, I go out of my way to re-read the short booklet that comes with this issue on a regular basis so I don’t forget them, and always get fresh new ideas I can actually USE in my business (and not just nod and say, “oh how nice… what’s next?”)
It’s extremely valuable info if you want it to be.
And, it’s only 26 pages long.
Easily read in one sitting.
Maybe that’s why the legendary David Olgivy recommended it to his employees and why Gary Bencivenga told me he keeps a stack of them on hand?
Just a thought.
