Episode 1857
Welcome! Today’s episode is part of a new feature we’re doing in 2022 called ‘Your First $1,000.’ As you might surmise from the title, this is all about how someone made their first $1,000. How did they get to that point? Not their first $100,000—that’s cool, but it would probably be a long story. One thing I’ve learned is that once you begin to earn real money, the steps required to go to the next level—whether it’s $1,000 to $2,000, or even to $5,000 or $10,000 are often easier than that first real paycheck. With that in mind, today’s feature comes from Jacob Ratliff. We first featured him back on Episode #1184: Digital Marketer Makes Money Marketing Himself. He now has a book out and is doing really well. But what about his first $1,000—how did he make that happen, what did it feel like, and what did he learn?
