We Know You Need Money To Start And We Have Solutions
We’re very excited to have you start your business and though there are no guarantee of success we know that you will have the best chance available to own your own business. We want you to be successful and also wants you to take these options seriously as you are going to be fully responsible for any financing options that you decide to use.
There are many options for financing that you can use to fund your business and hit the ground running.
1. Credit Cards
Call each creditor and request a credit line increase. This option works best if you have a credit history with the credit card bank of making regular payments on time. Another option is to take a cash advance on the card. Taking a cash advance on a credit card is going to cost less than using the payment financing option with us and likely will be a better interest rate than the Financing Partners in section B.
2. Personal Loans
If you have been banking with a given bank for at least 6 months and have a FICO score of 620 or better, you can typically get a personal loan from your bank. The terms wil vary by bank but the payments are usually very manageable. In some cases, you may need collateral (i.e. clear title to a vehicle) to supply to the bank until the loan is repaid. To take find out what options your bank offers, visit your local bank branch and see a banker about getting a personal loan.
3. Personal Merchants
If you have your own merchant account via STRIPE, SQUARE or PAYPAL you can run a payment transaction with your OWN credit card. This will result in the funds being deposited into whatever account is linked to that particular payment account. The left over balance will include the total after the transaction fees have been deducted from those providers. You can then use those funds to finance your DA business.
4. Get creative!
Borrow from a 401k (see Retire Happy PDF), IRA or savings account. Borrowing from a friend. Loan against a clear car or motor bike title. Home equity loans and home equity lines of credit (these processes typically take 30 – 45 days to close). Any of these options are also things you can use to finance your DA business.
Robust Financing Options
1. Fund Wise [For any credit score]
Go to the website at fundwisecapital.com/digital-altitude and follow the instructions. A financing expert will be there to guide you every step of the way.
2. Oak Tree Financing [670 score or better they fund up to $50k]
i) Apply at their website: www.oaktreefinancing.
ii) Contact Charity via Skype (charitygodfrey) and let her know if your name and the amount you are looking to finance.
iii) If your credit score is less than 670, there are other options that could be available as well through Oak Tree.
3. Retire Happy (PDF) – Watch the Retire Happy Video

STEP 4: CREATE PRESENCE IN SOCIAL MEDIA
Before Receiving Something You Have To Give Something
Before you Start Promoting Your Business You Need To Provide Value And Useful Content. In This Way People Will Trust You
Why are you reading this? That’s right! Because I created it for you and I’m giving it to you for FREE. Now you get my point?
Creating content is not that hard. Just do it, write an article, take your smartphone and take some photos for your Instagram or record a video while you are in a nice place. Talk about whatever you want to share with your audience and be yourself.
If you are good writing, your performance on camera is amazing or you have extraordinary skills with a photocamera, you can start using the social platform that works better for you according to your skills.
If you don’t have time to create content, remember you can also delegate. Now I will show you how you can hire experts to create the content for you easily and with very affordable prices.[/text_block]
Your Audience Is People Who Trust And Believe In You
Social Profiles Are Nothing If There Is No People On Them, Right? That’s Why They Are Called Social Networks
Social networks are called like that because it’s all about socializing. Imagine you are in the street and you want people to start following you and walking behind you. How would you do that? In my case, I would go with a small group of people (2 or 3 persons), ask them how are they, how do they feel, what are they doing, make them laugh and then I would explain that I’m making a movement and I need some followers; at the end I would invite them to join me.
If they like me, they will come and follow, but if they don’t like me they won’t come. And if I want to make one million people to follow me… well, that’s going to take me forever. It’s exactly the same on internet; but fortunately much faster.
If you want to make people to follow you, you should go to their profile, check what they are posting, like in their content or post, leave a comment about your thoughts or maybe a question; when you do that, people will notice, they will get a notification that YOU visited their profile, gave a couple of likes and a comment.
Then, they will be wondering “who is this person and why is in my profile?” (curiosity); then they will visit your profile to know more about you, they will see your amazing content, they will realize that your content is useful for them, they will like it and follow you because they are interested in what you are providing. Taaaadaaaaaaaaa! You have a new follower. The magic of internet.
Then, you have to repeat that 100 thousands times if you want to have thousands of followers. Sounds exhausting and slow, right?
But, thanks to the amazing work of many developers, we have tools that make all those tasks faster and easier. Yeah, you can automatize the “socializing”. I know you might be thinking “that is not right”.
But, the way I see it, you are placing some big speakers on the street, with some music, some beautiful models and grabbing a microphone to grab the attention of all the people and ask them to follow you. Is that bad? No. Is that personalized? No. But, your mission is to help a lot of people and this is the fastest way to do it.
Now, I will share with you three tools that will help you to automatize the socializing tasks and get followers as fast as possible. So, you can focus on the other steps.[/text_block]
This is a very fast way but still it is necessary your action and your time in the website in order to do it. It’s a good option if you don’t want to allow a software to make the hard work for you.[/text_block]
STEP 6: CREATE A WEBSITE OR BLOG
Recommended For Promotion And To Connect With Customers
As I Said Before, Providing Good Content And Value Is Essential To Earn People’s Trust.

There are so many places where you can find freelance people to create your website. Just pay attention to the reviews and ask for a quote from 3 or 4 different sources because some freelancers can have very expensive rates.

Plugin Profit Site is a platform developed by Stone Evans that allows you to have your own website completely ready for FREE. I could explain all by myself but I think it is way better for you to watch the video explanation.
As I said before, just choose this option if you are going to work with one or more of the businesses I mentioned in the Step 2. Definitely not a good option if you want to create your own business.
I HIGHLY recommend to invest in having your website because it is your brand, your image, your name and your personality. That website you can make it grow and do whatever you want with it; but the Plugin Profit Site is a good option to start if you don0t have time or money to create your own site.[/text_block]

So, what’s content marketing?
“…… a strategic marketing approach focused on creating and distributing valuable, relevant and consistent content to attract and retain a clearly-defined audience — and, ultimately, to drive profitable customer action.” According to the CMI (Content Marketing Institute).
What does that mean? It means content marketing is a strategy used to build a strong relationship with a defined targeted audience; by providing them high quality content that is useful and relevant; this strategy is effective in the long-term.
With this strategy, you earn the loyalty and trust of your audience. Since you have been giving them useful content for free, they are completely open to try or buy your product without any hesitation.
How to do content marketing? It’s very simple. If you are smart (I know you are smart), you already realized that this guide you are reading now is a content marketing strategy to earn your loyalty and trust; if you didn’t realize that before I’m sorry, I don’t want to break your heart but hey! Take the positive side. I’m giving you something super cool that will change your life for free. Imagine if one day I want to sell you something… it must be 10 times better right? Win-win my friend.
So, let’s back on track. The main ways to make content marketing are:
- Blogging: At some point you need to start a blog in your website, it’s a good way to provide valuable information to your audience and keep it updated of what’s going on with your business and the industry.
- Video Marketing: The power of Youtube is immense and I think you know that. Create a channel in Youtube with your brand on it, start making useful videos related to your product or service, not promotional videos, you are not selling in content marketing you are providing value. Give your audience something relevant and useful. Your video can become viral and attract millions of users to your website.
- Helping People: I know this sounds crazy but what is a better way to get the gratitude and loyalty of someone than helping them. I do it every day, I help people every time I can and I do it for free. Why? First, because it is very rewarding; second, because they will trust you and they will be interested in what you do. Quora is a very famous platform, similar to Yahoo Answers but with questions and answers more serious and professional. This is a very good website to start positioning yourself as an expert, guru or influencer. It’s super easy. Just visit Quora.com, open your free account, fill your profile and talk about you and what you do, upload a picture of you (this will take you 10 mins.). After that try to answer one question per day related to your niche, industry or topic. But, don’t make the mistake of writing 10 words as an answer, remember: storytelling, relevant content, photos and your website at the end. Don’t make it promotional, focus on the question and provide a real answer. Quora is visited for millions of users and if you answer is good it could be potentially seen by thousands of users every day. Check this guide about How To Write Drive Traffic From Quora
- Articles: This is similar to blogs, except that you will publish this articles anywhere else but not in your blog, distribute them around internet using social networks, digital magazines, other blogs, forums, whatever. Use LinkedIn, Facebook, Pinterest, Stumbleupon, Reddit to publish your articles where thousands of readers can find them. Remember the power of outsourcing, if you don’t have time to write, you can hire someone: iWriter.
- Ebooks: Why not create a summary of the book you are selling, you could mention just the main points but you don’t give them the whole information, in this way you are helping them but if they want to know more about it they have to buy your book or product. You can check this cool guide about How To Create An Ebook
- Photos: People love photos, especially when those photos are selling dreams. For example, if you upload a post on Instagram of yourself enjoying a glass of champagne in a private jet, you are selling a dream, people will want to know what did you do to be in that situation.
However, summarizing what I mentioned before…
The first thing you have to do is to create a profile in each one of the following social networks, not only because you can drive traffic to your website with them but also because by having a profile on these platforms you are helping your website to increase the rank on search engines (search engine optimization) and that will help you in the long term.
Another important thing when publishing in these platforms is to provide relevant and valuable content (Content Marketing), if you do that it is very likely your posts can go viral and that means hundreds of thousands of users visiting your website for free.
Steps:
- Open an account on Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter and Youtube.
- Use your main photo or professional picture as main profile picture.
- Publish at least 5 to 10 posts (photos, articles or videos)
- Write in your description who you are or what you do (people want to know from you before following)
- Share your website in your profiles so people can see your link and click on it
- Make your social media account look like something you would like to follow or subscribe.
- Grow your audience by interacting with other accounts, liking and commenting.
- Use Hootsuite or FollowLiker to do these tasks faster, or hire someone to do it for you. (My team can do this for you, contact us for more info).
- Buy Shoutouts from BIG social media accounts. For a fee, accounts with hundreds of thousands or even millions of followers can promote you and your business with their audience. Visit ShoutoutIG for more info
- Keep posting valuable content and invite your audience to visit your website or check your business.
There are more email addresses in the world than social media profiles and because of that you need to start building your email list and send newsletters to your subscribers.
To build your email list you need to:
- Open a free account on GetResponse
- Set it up with your Opt-In Page (do you remember we talked about this in the Step 6)
- Attract traffic to your opt-in page and make people to subscribe.
- Your list will grow with people who is interested in what you do and offer. Then you can send them emails (called newsletters) to tell them about news in your business, offers and more.
At the beginning, your email list will have ZERO subscribers. That’s obviously normal because you are starting. But there are some websites who have very big email lists and you can send your offer to any of them to promote your business or website. Below, you will find a list of these websites. All of them allow you to send one email every week, you can upgrade your plan by paying a small fee and then you can send more emails to more people. It’s entirely opt to you.
Let me just warn you that this traffic is not the best or the most targeted but it’s FREE and it allows you to put your business in the eyes of a lot of people, some of them will be interested but not all of them. Send an email every week for FREE and that’s a good start specially if you can afford paying for traffic at this point.
Steps:
- Open a new email account on Gmail to use it specifically for this traffic purpose.
- Open a free account in each one of the websites below.
- Write a nice email inviting people to visit your website, be nice and share with them what you offer. (If you don’t know how to write an email to promote your business, just copy and paste one of the emails below).
- Send your first FREE email from every site. (You would be reaching more than 10,000 people). If at least 5% click on the link, it means 500 people will visit your website.
- Repeat this every week.

SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION (SEO)
Another option is to make your own SEO, it’s not hard, but it takes time and knowledge. I would suggest to take this course if you are interested in making by your own: SEOexperts.com and the last option is to hire a freelancer with expertise in SEO, search on Fiverr or PeoplePerHour for the best option. Now pay attention because I will mention some sources to work in your SEO as soon as possible.
a) Press Release
This is best and most effective traffic when you just launched a product or started a company. In fact, it is not directly a SEO strategy but it helps a lot due to the big amount of distribution that your website gets when you launch a press release.
A press release is a written or recorded communication directed at members of the news media for the purpose of announcing something ostensibly newsworthy. Typically, they are mailed, faxed, or e-mailed to assignment editors and journalists at newspapers, magazines, radio stations, online media, television stations or television networks.
The benefits of a Press Release is that an article about your product or company is distributed all over internet in thousands of news websites and it has a high probability of being published by a famous and well-known website like New York Times, Business Insider, The Washington Post, etc. and even if it’s not publish for any famous news media, the amount of backlinks will help you a lot to rank and increase your SEO (search engine optimization).
In order to get your Press Release distributed you need two things:
- A properly well written press release
- A press release distribution service.
Usually, press release distribution companies offer also the writing service so you don’t have to worry about that (in any case, you can always find a writer on Fiverr or iWriter).
My favorite PR distribution company is eReleases because it’s a company where you can get your PR written and distributed for a very good price and it works with thousands of journalists. Besides their press releases are shown on Google News and Yahoo News; so you get a lot of exposure.
I would like to mention other companies but the only one I could mention is PR Newswire, however eReleases works with the same network of publicists than PR Newswire the only difference is that eReleases doesn’t have crazy high prices as PR Newswire. If you want to know more about eReleases, you can check the website here. I also recommend you to check this powerful article about How To Write A Powerful Press Release or just rely totally on eReleases team, they know what they do.
b) Influencer on Social Media
As I said before, SEO is about distributing your content along the web. The work you are doing in your social media is already helping to improve your ranking in the search engines. An influencer is someone who people listen to online. When it comes to search engine optimization, having an influencer in your corner will mean more people link to your website, share your blog posts and trust your content.
c) Relevant Content Marketing
If you have a blog, publish articles, upload videos, post pictures, share content; all these activities are constantly helping to boost you’re your SEO. Don’t stop doing it, soon you will see the results.
d) Mobile Version Ready
Nowadays, pretty much every template for WordPress websites is mobile friendly. What does that mean? It means that if a user wants to visit your website from a mobile phone or tablet, they will be able to see a nice, professional and friendly version of your website on those devices.
Just make sure your website has a good look if you access from your mobile phone. You can also check this website and check how your website is displayed in every device: MobileTest
d) Secure Your Website (HTTPS)
This is a little bit more complicated but it’s very important. In the last months, Google decided to help to have a more secure and safe internet. Thanks to this responsible decision, Google decided to boost the ranks of website with additional security and low the rank of those less secure.
If you notice, there are some websites with a GREEN LOCK in the browser tab, just next to the URL. This green lock is telling the visitor that the website is secure.
YOU NEED THAT GREEN LOCK IN YOUR WEBSITE ASAP.
How to get it? Very simple. Just visit your hosting company and buy a SSL certificate. If your hosting company is Hostgator, you can visit their website, log in to your account and order a SSL. Contact the support team if you have problems. After you pay for it, they should install it for you and your website should show the green lock in the next 24 to 48 hours.[/text_block]

What You Focus on Expands!
When you are working your ass off to become successful, there are two things you must focus on: your money management and your net worth.
[/text_block]
What is Net Worth?
Net worth is the value of all the non-financial and financial assets owned by an institutional unit or sector minus the value of all its outstanding liabilities. This applies to companies, individuals or governments.
For individuals, the net worth is the individual’s net economic position, the value of the individual’s assets minus liabilities. In other words, it is the total value of what you own minus what you owe.
It is important that you start registering the growth of your net worth because if you focus on making your “net worth” grow, then it will grow. To make this task easier for you I have created a document that you can download, so you can register your assets and liabilities every month and track your advance.

Let’s talk about money; people constantly wish more money. However, they can’t prove that they can really manage what they’re getting already. At the end of the month they are broken and waiting desperately for payday.
Money management is a concept that applies for every level, homeless people and billionaire people. If you show you can manage what you have, even if it’s 10 cents, the Universe will send you more to manage.
“The habit of managing your money is more important than the amount.”
People usually says: “If I have more money I will manage it but how I’m going to manage just $10 dollars”.
Universe says: “Show me you can manage any amount of money and I will send you more”.
I encourage you to start managing your money whatever the amount is and you will start to see miracles happening in your financial life.
- Open 6 bank accounts (or get 6 jars), it’s up to you
- Name or tag every bank account (or jar) as follows:
- Basic Needs: With this you will pay food, mortgage payments, bills, gas, oil, insurance, etc. If the 50% of your income is not enough to cover all your expenses, then you need to do one (or both) of these things:
- Simplify your life – figure out how you can spend less
- Earn more – figure out how you can earn more
- Financial Freedom: You won’t touch this money. This money can only be used on investments (with returns of profit) With this money you will build wealth for your future financial freedom.
- Long-Term Savings: The money of this account is to save money for future expenses (e.g. a house, a vacation, a new car, gifts, furniture, repaying debts…).
- Education: Successful people is constantly investing in themselves and growing constantly. The more skills and knowledge you get the bigger your earnings will be. And at the same time, the more you earn the more you need to learn (it’s a cycle). Invest in some personal and professional development: books, training courses, seminars, etc. Use this money for that.
- Donations: It’ doesn’t matter how bad you think your situation is, there will always be someone who is in a worse scenery. Besides the great satisfaction you will get by helping others; by giving away part of your income to less fortunate people you will subconsciously develop the wealth mentality of always having more than enough to give away.
- Play & Entertainment: Pampering yourself is vital; especially when you are working hard to reach your goals. With this money, you can indulge yourself with a fancy dinner, a party with friends, a nice massage, a trip to Bahamas or maybe just new clothes.
- Basic Needs: With this you will pay food, mortgage payments, bills, gas, oil, insurance, etc. If the 50% of your income is not enough to cover all your expenses, then you need to do one (or both) of these things:
- It doesn’t matter if you get 10 cents or 10,000 dollars. Every time you get money or any kind of income you will split it in your bank accounts (or jars) as follows:
- 50% on Basic Needs account
- 10% on Financial Freedom account
- 10% on Long-Term Savings account
- 10% on Education account
- 10% on Donations account
- 10% on Entertainment account
- You can adjust the percentages according to your needs, but I suggest you keep it like this. This system is not about restricting your freedom, but all the other way around, it’s about giving you more freedom.
- Follow the rules, don’t take money from your Financial freedom to go traveling or to pay the rent. Use the money of every account for what it is designated.
- If at any time you feel stuck, feel free to contact us using the support blue button in the right-down corner of this website.
INVEST AND MAKE YOUR MONEY WORK FOR YOU
You can buy a property and rent it. You can invest in stocks, on startups or in big companies. You can create a new business, etc.
Here I will share with you some options I personally use to grow my money.
How many times you have heard that investing in real estate in the best thing to do. Even after the crisis in 2008, this is still a good option in many parts of the world if you know how to do it. The best part is that, nowadays, you don’t need hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars to invest in real estate, you can do it from U$1,000 thanks to the crowdfunding scheme and the risk is always minimum.
If you want to learn more about this option I suggest you to visit Realty Mogul, open a free account and make all the questions you have about how to start.
Another good options is to invest in the growth of big corporations, new innovations or even currencies.
If you would have invested just U$5 in Bitcoin 7 years ago, you would be $4.4 million richer.
You can do this easily from home but I advice you to tal with a financial advisor or you can use ETORO website and copy the investments of people who is more experienced in the stock market.
This is not a financial advice. I am just giving you two options I personally use to invest my money but I strongly suggest you to talk with a financial advisor to minimize the risk of your investments.[/text_block]
