I'm writing this on a plane, on my way back from the island of St. John, in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Population:
under 5000.
What a wonderful and beautiful vacation spot -- but I have no idea how these folks survive.
The cost of living is insane. Want a gallon of milk? That will be nearly $10. Some cashews at a convenience store ran me $9. Even the ingredients for a simple pasta dinner came to about three times what we'd pay in the continental U.S.
I wanted something mindless to read at the beach -- no nonfiction for just one day, please -- so I scanned the paperbacks at the local Medicine Shoppe. Not many to choose from, so I went for a hardcover.
Nobody pays the cover price for a hardcover book. It's always discounted. Well, not only was this one not discounted, but they'd placed their own price tag over the part of the cover where the original price was. Once I purchased it (I needed something, anything) I peeled off that sticker -- and discovered that the original retail price had been $6.50 lower than what I had just paid at the store.
Add to the high cost of living the devastation they're feeling with the virtually complete cessation of cruise ship traffic, and these folks are struggling.
(Tourists get hit, too: the tax rate on hotels in the U.S. Virgin Islands is 12.5%.)
So we tipped well, and often.
A taxi driver took us halfway across the island and wanted a mere $6 per person. We handed him a fistful of cash instead, and in addition to words of thanks he gave us a look of gratitude I'll never forget.
Well, here's how you can have the opposite of my experience.
Instead of paying much, much more than normal, you're going to get something highly valuable for practically nothing.
Advertising on my podcast will normally run you around 500 smackers.
Here's how you can get it for about $488 less than that -- and you don't even have to take me up on it for 20 years if you're not ready right now. As long as I'm still alive, I'll honor our deal.
And here's the deal.
A brand new training program called Unbeatable teaches you how to create and make sales of online courses -- from conception to execution and marketing.
Pick up Unbeatable before midnight tonight, and if you should ever create a course of your own between now and when I drop dead, I'll promote it for you on my show as a bonus at no extra cost to you.
If there's even a slight chance you might want to take me up on this someday (just forward me your receipt whenever you're ready), then throwing down around $12ish today to pick up Unbeatable doesn't exactly seem like a crazy thing to do.
You have until midnight Eastern:
