And the inevitable question rears its head...



"Ben, I'm in trouble, I just got laid off

and I need to make an income like

yesterday. Advice???"



Y'all must think I'm Miracle Max or something.



Look, you basically have 3 choices:





1. You can bend over, put your head firmly between your legs and

kiss your ass goodbye.



This is what a lot of people are doing.



(And it's kind of a pity...)





2. Get a time machine and go back a few years when you KNEW you

should have been preparing for something like this to happen.



Hey, the ancients knew this.



Think the 7 years of famine story in the Bible.



Or the grasshopper & ant fable.



Or... or... you get the idea.



What?



Can't find a time machine?



Not even on eBay?



Then, here's the 3rd option I'd recommend:





3. Start building an email list and mailing it.



Yeah, like yesterday.



Don't SPURN this advice.



Do it!



And what I would suggest is figuring out a service you can offer

and sell for quick cash flow, while building your own product line

on the side.



What kind of service?



That's entirely up to you, my fledgling.



But think of what skillz you have, build a list of people

interested in that service (either for hiring or learning it

themselves) and start mailing it every day using the Settle system

of email marketing -- http://www.EmailPlayers.com -- and never let

up.



Relentless follow up is KEY, babycakes.



And also, stay away from distractions.



Turn off the TV.



And quit listening to hype.



Time to focus.



Build a list... mail it every day... and get to work.



And next time...



Dig your well BEFORE you're thirsty.

P.S. This is a timely topic, too.



Why?



Because in the April "Email Players" issue, I'm showing you how to

structure your business and marketing so you can make a pretty

decent living writing just an email or two per day.



BUT...



Goo-roo fanboyz beware:



It takes work to get to that point.



What I teach is NOT a magic pill.



I show you all the "leg work" you have to do, too.



And it could be a lot.



(Depending on where you're at now with your business.)



I only mention this because some people start slobbering all over

their keyboards when they hear claims like this. But realize it

takes WORK to get to the point where you can wake up, bang out an

email or two, then be done with your day.
