Why didn't we hire an exterminator? I never even thougt of it. Thinking now I don't feel it was our responsibility to exterminate this guy's place, and he said he would refund our money which was airbnb's policy.
We've been in two other places so far and not seen any roaches. All the people around here I talk to say it is not normal to see roaches everywhere. Maybe once in a while.
Our original hypothesis was that we could share a master bedroom in a house. Craigslist has lots of $500 a month rooms for rent. We are trying to keep costs low.
We learned this was a bad idea and have pivoted, and our planning on renting a 1 bedroom for our office as soon as possible.
Also because I know someone is going to say I didn't plan ahead or came on too tight a budget... I know. I'm living on the edge and pushing things but it will turn out ok and I will have had a valuable experience.
I'm just trying to protect someone else from getting screwed over by sharing my experience.
Dude that wouldn't have even worked because the place wasn't properly sealed off from the outside. You could kill all the roaches inside and new ones would just come back.
I sold each copy for $199 and I did it by doing webinars for the target audience. I contacted people that ran webinars (they often want guest speakers) I would do a presentation and then sell copies after.
A lot of people wanted me to do other consulting work for them as well.
