    I'll start...

    I'd probably buy Mark Andrews van and tour the world.

    In all reality...I'd probably do a booklet and have 200 copies printed. I'd get about a 1000% return on my investment.

      You couldn't afford my van with a bloody hundred bucks ya cheeky sod!

      I'll tell you what Marcus, if you truly want it, if you really desire my van - I'll sell it to you.

      How much are you willing to put down on the table?

      Here she is the lil beauty up on the Isle of Skye...



      ...a fine specimen if I may say so myself.

          Ahhh there's the condescending Marcus we've all come to love to hate.

          Alas I see Yorkshire dry humour is lost on you.

            Mark, it is a nice van, as far as vans go.

            Thought you went solar with this baby. I actually thought you had solar panels on the roof. I'm starting to think this whole thing is a photoshop of some other smucks van. I'd like to think it's yours...

              Are you barkin'?

              Nice? It's the dogs bollocks of vans in the UK. They've got a dreadful name. The cheapest bone rattling vans on the market. Quirkiness is second nature - natural to them. Like an old Seagull outboard, they start up when they feel like it - why do you think the ruddy post office buys them up in droves for?

              Don't you know 'nuthin' lad?

              A nice van! The only thing that's 'nice' about it is completely eccentric batty oddballs like me taking a fancy to them, showering them with lots of love, care and attention to keep the old classics on the road. They're a part of our institution. Got to be looked after.

              Are you blind btw? What do you think those silver things are up on top of the roof? Seagull scarers or sommit? :rolleyes:

              Blimey! And you have the sheer chutzpah to knock people from the United Kingdom!

                Yes Mark...this all sounds normal.

                  LMFAO, I'll jump past van commentary and go to the $100 deal.

                  With $100, if I wanted to make some quick money now, I'd go to Alibaba and buy something wholesale that a lot of people want (6 months ago, that was Dr. Dre Beats). Exact replicas sold perfectly.

                  Then I'd sell them for a big ol profit. Repeat until satisfied.


                  If I wanted to focus on long term stuff, I'd wouldn't spend a nickle on anything but food. That would hold me over for about two months of ramen.

                  Then I'd focus all my effort on learning the basics of a profitable skills (like copywriting), and contacting potential clients until I some clients.

                  Guess it all comes down to how down to earth you are Marcus.

                  I'm guessing you're not exactly made of much - grit that is. Could be quite an experience for you if I was to say to you, you're more than welcome to fly over anytime in your Citation jet to enjoy a weeks hospitality at my expense?

                  You ever slept in a hammock strung up in the trees above a beautiful river bank, with the light of the full moon glistening on the water below? Sipping a glass of wine, listening to some beautiful music watching the fish jump out of the water before skinny dipping in golden phosphorescence at two in the morning?

                  You never know, you might just enjoy it if you let your hair down once in a while.

                  The offers there my friend the offers there.

                  With my warmest compliments,


                  Mark Andrews

        That picture's DEFINITELY photoshopped. No way we have weather like that here in the UK.

          here's what I did when I had nothing...and it cost me a total of $20 plus some time (which obviously has a value, but when I started out, I wasn't aware of this)

          I went to vistaprint and got some free business cards printed (you only pay shipping and I upgraded to a better 'gloss' finish, with the vistaprint logo removed, so total investment was $20)

          Created a free website with weebly.com

          stuck some samples on there and testimonials...

          then I went OUT and actively spoke to EVERYONE who would listen. Like REALLY. Wherever I met people and struck up a conversation, I told them what I did (my elevator pitch) and passed them a card...

          A couple of weeks in and I landed an $800 client for around 6 hours work. And they paid for travel expenses and childcare. I got referred to the client when I visited the local IT shop...

          Now if you want to get smart, do what I do and find yourself a printer who you can partner with. Design, print and copy go hand in hand...it costs you nothing to do and as long as you have good samples and a website where clients can refer to, you're good to go.

          Oh and local web design companies are also good to work with

    ...if you're down to your last $100.00. Here's what to do.

    Put $50.00 aside for food and coffee because there's no point starving to death.

    Write a phenomenal flyer proclaiming your copywriting skills.

    Print them on black and white. And knock them out to your chosen prospects.

    Wait for the phone to go ring ring (it will if your Flyer is ace).

    Leg it to see the clients. Thrill them with your expertise.

    Sign them up with a 50% deposit.

    And get back to work. And this time don't blow all your money on booze, gambling and loose women.

    Just promise yourself that you'll never go back to Vegas ever again.

    I'd write one heck of a WSO sales letter offering my copywriting services at a cut-price rate.

    Keep in mind I'd make sure the copy is so good that anyone reading it will realise $1500 is literally nothing for quality like that.

    Or...

    I'd just offer the same to my list.

    Either way, it's really a no-brainer.

    I'd use all my time to start connecting with new clients again. I don't think I'd sweat the $100, it would be a none issue. Our energy and our time are more important.
