Two months ago, in a private Facebook group, I saw a post by a well-known real estate investing guru:
Huge Hack if YOU Sell 5k-250k products or programs.
We found a LEGIT funding company that will finance your customers.
VERY Easy qualifications:
620 credit score
40k in income
They will pay you 100% up front of what ever you charge, and the customers payments to them will be fractional to anything they pay you!
We have literally 3 folded our income with them overnight.
The guru was offering to make an introduction to the company, and he didn’t reveal their name. In fact, I still don’t know.
But just yesterday, I saw that Flippa (the online business marketplace) has partnered with a company called Yardline.
So now, if you’re looking to buy an online business through Flippa, assuming you can jump through a few hoops, then you can get 250k from Yardline to finance your purchase.
I’m not sure what kinds of terms Yardline offers.
All I can say is that if I were looking to buy a business, I’d look for investment partners directly, rather than going through a company like this.
On the other hand, if you do sell a high-ticket offer, and you target people for whom that much money is an issue, then Yardline and similar companies might be something to look into.
If I’m reading the Facebook post above correctly, it sounds like an easy way to grow your income without changing your offer, your marketing, or really anything else inside your company.
Plus I think this is jut a bit of curious industry news. Because a few days ago, I speculated whether the direct response industry is at a “Netflix moment.” In other words, if we’re at a kind of tipping point, where things go mainstream.
I don’t think the emergence of companies like Yardline is any kind of hard proof of this. But it is another data point for you to consider… when you think about which direction you want to take your own career or business.
