EP 022: Audio Blog: 5 ways to support yourself financially while bootstrapping an online business
Summary: <a style="float: left; margin: 0 15px 0 0;" href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/ecommerce-pulse-ecommerce/id661499303" target="_blank"></a>Today's episode is an audio blog--an audio version of a blog post previously published here on Ecommerce Pulse. This is a bit of an experiment--I'm interested to get the feedback of you, my fantastic listeners, as to whether or not you'd like to hear more episodes like this in the future. The topic is a challenge that faces every bootstrap entrepreneur: how to make a living while starting your business. It's no easy task to keep bringing home the bacon while also building a complicated, delicate, and needy thing like a business. I've experimented with several ways of doing it, and I've talked with other people who have done it other ways, and I'm sure there are others I haven't thought of. I'd love to hear how you're doing it, so leave a comment below, or even better, join the discussion on the original blog post <a title="How to make a living while starting a business" href="http://ecommercepulse.com/2013/10/17/5-ways-to-support-yourself-financially-while-bootstrapping-an-online-business/" target="_blank">here</a>.
