Gain control of others' assets (customer list, distribution channel, product) and put in place a simple superior process to cashflow it for a split of rev

Well, I could try to get a loan or try to make a deal to pay it in installments or ask Travis if he could me on this.

Or you could do a deal with the current owner to pay him from the ongoing profits up to a certain amount (or indefinitely), then improve the website's profits over time so both of you benefit. Nothing down deals are everywhere

Tollbooth? Introduce one person’s product to another’s distribution channel. Collect a fee.

I've always loved the idea of royalty payments. Back in the 1980s, I once read that Paul McCartney got paid more every DAY than the Prime Minister did in a year ... even if he never writes another song. With keyword research now so transparent and self publishing about as easy as sending an email, that's my 2 cents, Travis. Work once, get paid for life.

Find a quality product that’s not getting good sales. And find an influencer or content producer who doesn’t have a good product. And design a mutually beneficial relationship for all parties.

Strike up a conversation by showing genuine interest, suggest it may be possible to extract sales from underused or forgotten assets, propose a test or two to see if there's any interest. If there's enough response, work a rev share deal that's in the best interest of both parties. Almost limitless possibilities thanks to Travis Sago

Build local service website and rent it out. Start with easy terms that will rank.

Rinse repeat.

Offer to help someone who has an audience, plenty of products, and more ways to win than they know what to do with. Tell them that you'll take a chance on growing their revenue pie, and if it works out they split the loot with you. The guy that taught me this is genius!

I'm going to recuse myself because I sorta know the answer.

I'll just say that resourceful people are part of the answer, if possible.

But for everyone else, you need to leave a comment and get others to as well. There's some potentially life-changing wisdom here if your mind is open and you can follow some advice.

It is a mystery to me, but it appears that the secret is to position oneself as a liaison between two groups of individuals with a common desire. It may resemble the conventional product and sales model, but it proves to be far more efficacious when all parties involved stand to gain and your in the middle getting paid from both sides.

Example-I done struck gold with that there social media scheme of mine. I hooked them influencers up with them companies what needed a good hawkin' of their wares. And it didn't cost me a red cent, 'cause I used them Facebook groups to do my recruitin'.

'Twas a sweet gig, while it lasted, 'til them vultures got a sniff of what I was up to and started spammin' the ever-lovin' heck out of it. Caused them admins to go and put a stop to it all. Blasted lazy affiliates, always ruinin' it for everybody, like a pack of yowlin' coyotes in a henhouse.

Anyways,we're only at 40 and 100 seems like a far-fetched number to me, like tryin' to hit a bullseye on a flyin' hog.

Please excuse the corny prose, just having a little fun with ChatGPT --- I had it rewrite my answer in the style of Mark Twain, cause I always did admire the resourcfulness of Huck Finn.

you need to do a dream 100 scenario, then cold email them to build repore to inquire about helping them sell more of their products by giving you access to their customer databases and their strategic assets. Work out long term agreements with them to lock in continual profit
