What I would do if I was starting over
Often times I get asked what I would do if I were to start over - of course with no money, no list, or anything.
So buckle up because this could get long.
1 - Get a job
Got to keep the bills paid right? What better way to do that then to get a job - more so I would work the night shift so I can take the morning to work on my business (more on that later)
2 - Sell anything that doesn't generate revenue on eBay or Craigslist
I'm talking TVs, computers, laptops, game consoles, cell phone, text books, I would just go around the house selling pretty much everything I don't need.
3 - Garage sale arbitrage
Go to garage sales and buy up stuff with the extra money I'm making from eBay and the new jobbie job and repeat #2.
4 - Once I have about 200 green ones I would start up and learn how to use a WordPress site to build my list and promoting other peoples products
Got to learn how to build a site right?
5 - Start meeting up with local businesses and start offering them website building services.
Start small to get my feet wet, and then start going big with the pricing - outsourcing when I have too many clients.
6 - Leverage my personal site that I originally started (and should by now getting results with) to get bigger clients and charge more - outsourcing the client getting process as well or run a few FB ads.
7 - By the time I get to this step I should have a pretty decent sized email list - where I would have been emailing them daily to other peoples products - eventually getting to the point where I can dump the client work and just do email marketing.
The crazy thing is... I've actually done this.
A few years ago - and let me tell you when you see your income jump from like 400 bucks to about 2k a month in a month - you know you are working your a$$ off.
No excuses at all warriors - just straight to the point get to freakin' work.
