If you're a longtime reader of my emails, you already know I cleaned bathrooms during my freshman year.
Ugh.
All the upperclass dorms had private baths, and students cleaned them.
Some of them were so disgusting that they lowered my view of mankind several notches.
Then, years later (1993), my friends played probably the best and most elaborate practical joke on me I've ever heard of. I'll spare you the details except to say it involved a fake experiment in the college psychology department, a urine sample, and $15.
I told a friend at the Mises Institute that I'd fallen for this trick because I'd wanted the $15 that was advertised. He responded: why are you wasting your time for $15, when you could write a quick article and earn $150?
I'm not kidding: that was literally the beginning of my writing career. My first-ever article was published that very year (1993).
I just needed someone to point out the obvious to me.
Let me be that guy for you.
Yesterday I got some of the best feedback I've ever seen for any of the live presentations I've arranged for my readers.
Rachel Rofe is an expert at using print-on-demand services, coupled with sites like Amazon, to sell simple but in-demand items (like coffee mugs with funny sayings that appeal to particular niches). No design skills necessary -- or believe me, I wouldn't be promoting it.
Here's the replay of that webinar:
Someone wrote to say:
"That was the BEST webinar for this type of stuff that you're always promoting. I've seen many of the others but she was awesome and unbelievably useful!!! I was up for hours last night creating products and marketing ideas on gearbubble, etc.... Thanks to you and her for the webinar!"
Real testimony from a real person.
If you hate it, no harm done. But you won't. You'll say: Woods, maybe there's something to this Internet thing after all -- and this actually seems fun.
Make the time to watch before it's gone forever:
