    Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: How to Be a Capitalist Without Any Capital with Nathan Latka

    [01:06] – Share something interesting about yourself most people don’t know.

    • Nathan has eaten the same four meals for the past three years.

    [03:14] – How did you acquire a company without spending money?

    • Nathan went to the Chrome web store.
    • He looked for an extension that had a hundred thousand users.
    • He looked at the bottom where it tells you the last time it was updated.
    • If the updated extension date is More than 2 – 3 months, then they are not that interested.

    [04:49] – What do you want make sure that people get right before they follow this process?

    • They have to get the script right.

    [06:58] – How do you use your Instagram following to get free hotel stays?

    • Nathan believes you can build your business in two ways: by growing your income, or by decreasing your expenses.
    • He sent some cold emails to some hotels he wanted to stay at, and that was that!

    [09:11] – What else can people do if they don’t have massive followings?

    • Instead of Instagram he added Snapchat and Trip Adviser – adding those two things in can give you extra leverage.
    • When you book a hotel you can ask for a media rate.
    • Media rate is one third the cost of retail.
    • They basically reserve media rate for CAA, UTA booking agents.

    [12:21] – What’s the script you use to get bloggers to replace your competitors back link with yours?

    • He saw that one of the #1 traffic drivers to Short Stack is a place called Guava Box. Tune in to hear what he did next…

    [14:42] – What’s something I could do to bring in multiple new clients per week?

    • Time is money, and once you get a backlink in there it stays there for sometimes a year – it works while you are doing nothing.
    • Just spend a week and get five to ten of them, and the money will grow for you.

    [15:15] – A timeout to thank our sponsors, HubSpot and Thinkific!

    [15:36] – What steps can someone take to launch a $5k side project?

    • Nathan’s new book is called How to be Capitalist Without any Capital.
    • This side project is built off his podcast.
    • He was interviewing software CEOs every single day for fifteen minutes.
    • He gets them to share revenue numbers, equity evaluations.

    [18:26] – Where are places entrepreneurs can go to find cheap help so we can stop doing tasks that are wasting our time and money?

    • Nathan talks about how he found his audio editor on FIVERR.
    • There are other sites he uses, too, like TopTal for developers and Upwork

    [21:02] – Breakdown those copy writing tricks to get 1.2M to watch your Facebook Live videos :)

    • He lets his audience control him physically.
    • Those kind of psychological things – you letting your audience feel your vulnerability – you give them power or control of what you’re doing.
