College students: If classes are remote in the fall, don’t go.

Save your money. Use your time to start an online business. Keep your burn rate low and work a side job if you need to.

The goal: Build a profitable business by spring semester.

Don’t pay $50,000 for Zoom classes.

Writing online will help, no matter what kind of business you start.

My favorite writing strategies:

• The Netflix Principle
• Writing in small chunks
• Building a Personal Monopoly

You’ll learn about all them in this 9-day email course.

Here’s what I recommend.

Build your skills, identify a problem, and find a software-based solution for it. If you don’t know how to start, pick one of the following skills:

1) Writing
2) Speaking
3) Coding
4) Design

Then, start selling what you build.
