How to Have More Free Time While Making More Money: A Practical Guide for Entrepreneurs

Do you want to grow your business, but struggling with cash flow?

Do you want to advertise and reach wider audiences but are apprehensive about spending money on ads? 

Perhaps you’re relatively new in your business, and you’re not confident paying for a service or advertising.

If any of those describe you, I want to share a powerful way you can get anything you want in your business without having to pay any upfront fees.

This is a concept that I learned from Jay Abraham, the world’s greatest multi-billion-dollar marketing genius.

And the technique I’m about to share with you has been used for LITERALLY thousands of years.

Yes, the ancient Egyptians used it. The Greeks used it. The Romans used it throughout history.

And that technique is BARTERING.

Bartering is where you negotiate an exchange for something you don’t need to exchange in money.

For example, I could offer to help someone with their marketing in exchange for advertising to their audience.

Rather than charge a fee to write a sales page, I would collect the same amount in advertising space.

This is a win-win situation. 

You win because you get what you want, without putting any money down. 

Therefore, there’s no financial risk if things don’t go according to plan.

For you, have a person wins because you solve a specific problem for them.

And in return, they give you something you want and something you value but makes no difference to them or their business.

There are lots of different ways you can implement bartering in your business.

For example: 

1) If you’re a service provider, you could exchange your service for advertising. Or you could exchange your service for the service of the person you’re bartering with.

2) If you’re a coach, you could offer to help coach someone in exchange for receiving a service from them.

3) If you create digital products, you could offer to let someone run your programme as an affiliate and keep 100% of the commission because you then get brand new leads, which you can turn into premium offer clients.

Your options are only really limited by your creativity.

You can come up with different ways to leverage the concept of bartering, to get more of what you want in your business without having to put any money or risk down first. 

Still, if you have a team who executes your service on your behalf, it’s far easier to make bartering a part of your business and marketing growth. 

And the best part turns out that bartering as a marketing tool works best during hard times and recessions.

People are more willing to exchange a higher value of their service or assets for something you can give them.

If you’re smart, strategic, and savvy in this, you can get a HUGE amount of value for your business, such as free advertising space, for very little in return.
