Take money to build an empire.
Times are tight. As my followers are aware, I am unemployed. I don't spend money unless it is absolutely necessary. I'm talking staying home to conserve gas! Which is what makes this empire of mine a little nerve wrecking!
I've whipped out the credit card on several occasions for my empire. For my WA account, my Aweber account and my Jaaxy account.
It was easier to whip it out for the WA and Aweber accounts as the first month was reduced significantly.
If I add all this up (starting with the second month of course) I'm looking at over $100 a month.
That is a tough number to swallow when my monthly "income" is only $3.06.
Yes, I can cancel at anytime, but still.... Spending money makes me nervous. Money I don't have!
For me? Investing all this money is just motivation (as if I needed more). I am the type of person who will pay for a gym membership and use it... just because I don't want to waste money!
So... Failure. Not an option. I am all in.

The only problem to joining WA to make money is that you have to support yourself while you learn how to make money. Since this is not a get rich quick scheme, sometimes other income is necessary to survive the process of learning the process.
Yeah this always seems to be the rub. However you are right it takes money to make money. What we hope for is to get in the black as quickly as possible. That is why we work so hard to make it. I do believe we are absolutely in the right place to make this happen and having that confidence really helps. Try searching on here I made my first sale.
You are so right Beth, and know exactly what you're talking about! It makes it a little tough to build a business on a limited budget and to have to "wait" for the income to start flowing! Especially when there is nothing coming in to begin with! Keep the faith Beth, I'm right here with you, in the same boat! Maybe we could put a motor on this thing! Hehe!
Even without the actual money, you seem to know what you are doing. It does take some to make some! :) Just as long as it doesn't become a gamble, you want this to be a positive venture. If I had $ to spare I'd sponsor you, lol!
I have been frugal with this as well, but I did pop on the annual membership here and for my domain names. I still use the keyword tool here even though it would be so much easier to use Jaaxy. I will continue to take the longer and harder route to conserve on money as well, until I am making enough that I can truly reinvest it into my business. Keep working it!

I would relate to your situation in many ways. Very limited income and watching every penny that you spend/if you must, (including expenditures at WA and all the set up costs). My hope is that it would eventually be beneficial in the mid term/not long term.
