That’s ripping off desperate people– and it makes me mad.

// At the end of this post, I’ll tell you what really pisses me off.

But first– two minutes ago, a company with a stockpile of overpriced hand sanitizer messaged me, too.

I get that it’s “just capitalism”, but now is not the time to take advantage of kicking people while they’re down.

Many friends of mine work in restaurants, retail, and professional services– which require physically seeing customers.

But with the quarantines and people being afraid to meet, they are effectively unemployed.

70% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck– meaning that most of us can’t afford to pay rent at the end of this month.

Now is a great time to start a business, build your personal brand, learn how to do client consultations online, connect with customers, and teach what you know.

When the economy comes back after 4-6 months, it always does– it will be stronger than ever.

So anyone who is in digital marketing should drop the price of their $2,000 courses to free for the next 30 days– even though they can profit from selling their version of overpriced hand sanitizer.

Ryan Deiss, CEO of DigitalMarketer made such a generous announcement this morning.

And I’m inspired to do the same.

If you are wanting to start your digital marketing agency…

Or as a local service business want to use this time to strengthen your marketing…

Or you just want to become a pro at Facebook ads…

Send an email to operations@yourcontentfactory.com with LOVE IS KIND as the subject line– and tell me what your goal is.
