Frugalpreneur: How to Launch, Manage and Market Your Online Business For Under $100 Per Month: Preneur Series, #1

By Sarah St John

Are you looking for a way to...

• Make some extra money on the side?
• Build up your savings and/or pay down debt to achieve financial freedom?
• Work from home to avoid rush hour traffic and spend more time with family?
• Escape the rat race climbing the corporate ladder and work for yourself instead?
• Build passive, residual, and scalable income streams?

Perhaps you are like me and ALL of the above apply.

But, there's just one little problem (ok, BIG problem): Money. After all, you are wanting to start a new venture to MAKE money, not SPEND money.

We've all heard the phrase: "You have to spend money to make money". That is true...to a certain extent.

I have spent years researching ways to be able to run online businesses on a tight budget, and I want to share with you the tools, resources, and processes I find most useful and provide the most bang for your buck (some are even free!)

In this book, you will learn not only the various options when it comes to making money online such as:

• Affiliate Marketing
• Drop Shipping and E-Commerce
• Content and Product Creation
• White (Private) Label Reselling
• ...and more

But, you'll also learn how to start, manage, and market your online business for under $100/mo.

Let's get started. Time is money.

Those student loans kicked in right on schedule. But before long, week after week with little sleep — and even littler to show for it monetarily — caught up with me. And one ordinary Wednesday afternoon in March, two hours before I’d drive twenty miles to the little bookstore where I made minimum wage as the music buyer, I daydreamed what life would look like if I was copywriting, concert promoting, and booking concerts without those pesky outside-the-home gigs.
