I was wondering if anyone has seen any solid ideas for bootstrapping in rural areas? I've noticed that location makes a difference in this regards. Are we talking strictly internet? Town of about 16k ridiculously cheap folks; makeup of local economy is mainly low pay retail etc. quite a bit of healthcare, education, and has some manufacturing base. I thought about selling liquidated merch. or something to that nature. Not much to go on on craigslist etc. My side hustle is not doing well so any thoughts? thanks to all
