Today’s Post: Update on how my social marketing edu-macation is going, and restating my claim on making a thousand bucks from scratch …on a Shoestring . 😎 I recently learned a collection of new zero-cost marketing techniques that I’ll be using to make that happen! The product I’m trying to create from scratch and promote […]

Heh… couldn’t help but add a little tribute to my childhood hero there, Steppers! But, honest to goodness: even His Chuckness would tell you that it takes trial and error to learn a new skill… or RE-learn it. That’s what I’m doing right now with my information product, “How to do 100 Pushups”. I still […]

Key there, Steppers! Okay, so those of you that have been following me know that I’m embarking on a series of “Shoestring101 Challenges”. The first Challenge was to make a thousand dollars in a service bizness in 30 days or less, starting with seed capital of  less than what you might pull in with a […]

Okaaaaaay. So, a few days ago I posted saying, “Ermagerd! I only have 10 days left!” Heh. I had foolishly let time slip by AFTER committing to you and the world that my second 30-day challenge was under way. I’ve got a week left; let’s see how she goes. NO, I still haven’t created a […]

Okay, so my son Pierce and I did well with our first Shoestring101 30 Day Challenge: Start a small “bizness” with less money than you could probably get by selling some junk on eBay… in our case about $67… and turn it into a small bizness project that returns $1,000 or more in profit in […]

I’ve been using the Shoestring101 principles… again… to revamp an existing business: my martial arts school. So we’re getting new Students in the door, left and right. Good times.I got thrown for a loop today because I had a fairly big order to process… three new Students, their registrations, equipment, and tee shirts… and I […]

First off: Apologies for not posting in so great a while. Part of the reason is how successful (and therefore time-consuming) the 30 day challenge turned out. WOW, Ladies and Gents… So, that little experiment with my son kind of BLEW UP. In a good way, that is. My 14-year old son Pierce and I […]
