I've even had a few mortgage brokers tell me that they've spent $65,000 on print advertising so my consulting fees are a drop in the bucket to them. Most people don't have a CLUE to the strategies of list building and even using Facebook to the max. I'm talking to them every day and I'm amazed at how little people really know. I think the key is finding the people that value that time is money. I much rather pay people that have more extensive knowledge in a subject matter than trying to figure things out on my own especially when I want results NOW.
