There's frustratingly little info online about deal making.

Luckily, Travis and I have done lots of deals over the years so we'll be writing about it.

Your sales experience will give you a leg up.

If I did a "follow along" series where I...

Started with $200 in items

Bartered my way up to $2k+ worth

Gave the money to charity

I'm so glad to see at least one person wanting to talk about this...

Newsletters are one of my favorite biz/hustle types.

They can have so much leverage.

Do you have a newsletter right now Dominus?

I'd like to see something combined with Deal Brokering and the Local service business marketing. A lot of small, local service companies are not keeping track of their leads and when they do, they don't have a simple CRM to automate re-marketing.
