I get a lot of newbie questions.<\/p>\n
And probably the most asked question is… how do you get started in business (online) if you’re broke as a joke<\/em>, 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?<\/p>\n How do you get started?<\/p>\n What should you do?<\/p>\n Lucky you I gots me some experience with this.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n I’ll never forget it, either.<\/p>\n “Nerd Girl, what’s that hissing noise? You got gas?” <\/p>\n “Shut up Ben! I think it’s the bed!”<\/em><\/p>\n And then we started sinking….<\/p>\n Ugh.<\/p>\n Not-so-fun times.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n And each dollar I made was then reinvested.<\/p>\n That’s how I built my info product library.<\/strong><\/p>\n And why I don’t have any nonsense goo-roo products.<\/p>\n When all you have is a set amount of cash, you gotta discriminate big time and ruthlessly ignore BS.<\/p>\n Anyway, so that’s my advice.<\/p>\n There IS light at the end of the tunnel.<\/p>\n You just gotta keep moving towards it.<\/p>\n Even if just one inch<\/em> at a time.<\/p>\n And speaking of which…<\/p>\n
