Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is this for "newbie" or "experienced" internet marketers?

A Online Business Basics™ membership is perfect for persons of all experience and skill levels. Each week's lesson is broken down into manageable steps for easy application. There are also "advanced" insights that seasoned veterans will find advantageous in putting into practice. While basic webmastering skills are a plus (uploading files, loading autoresponders, etc.) they aren't required as training materials will be provided to anyone who needs assistance in basic setup steps.

2. Does this work for any "niche"?

Absolutely! The Online Business Basics™ model is perfect for virtually every imaginable topic. Obviously, the more individuals who are interested in your "niche", the better profit potential. I.E. While this system WILL work for "Aspiring 80-year-old Pro Football Players", you'd probably have a hard time finding prospects to join! Any profitable "niche" is a perfect candidate for the Online Business Basics™ model.

3. Are there any "hidden costs" in addition to my membership fees?

You will need to register a domain ($8.99+/year), obtain hosting ($5.00+/month), secure an autoresponder ($10.00+/month) and have access to a software program or tool to edit webpages (Free+). Additionally, any budget you want to allot for promotion is at your discretion. (I'll recommend both free and paid methods of marketing ... emphasis on FREE!) As you can see, this is an incredibly affordable business model.

4. Does my membership include personal coaching?

Unfortunately, the answer is "no". While I will always be available to handle support requests (I.E. I can't download this week's lesson) I simply don't have the time to personally coach 1,000 members. Even if every member just asked ONE question (even a simple question) it would be impossible to handle all of the requests.

5. How can I come up with a profitable idea for an Online Business Basics™ site?

I actually answer this in lesson #2 of the training series. So, in order to not offend paying members for letting this information out for free, please join and read that lesson. :-)

6. Do I have to commit to the entire 12 months?

Of course not. While I don't think you'll want to do so, you may cancel anytime you want. You may either email me through the Contact Us link to the above left of this page or Clickbank.com directly for a prompt and courteous cancellation. Like I said, I don't think you'll want to do so after diving in to the training!

7. How quickly can I have one of these sites active and making money?

That will depend entirely upon you. Someone with experience can literally have this up and running in one day after reading the very first lesson. A complete beginner with virtually no history of doing business online can have everything in place after the first five lessons (I explain every step of the process in step-by-step chunks during the introductory month.) Most people are somewhere in the middle. So, the answer is 1 day to 1 month, depending upon your experience.

8. Even though it's only one short blog post each week, can I get someone else to write it?

You bet! In fact, we'll talk a lot about content -- including several different ways to get exclusive content (meaning you're the only one who can sell it!) without writing a single word yourself. Plus, I'll show you some incredible ways to get dozens upon dozens of fresh ideas for your articles that will keep your subscribers happy and satisfied.

9. On what day of the week will I receive my weekly emails?

There isn't a set "day" of the week when lessons will arrive to your inbox. The autoresponder is setup to send out your lesson approximately every 7 days (sometimes there is a 24-48 hour difference in delivery, but you'll always receive a lesson each week).

If you have any other questions that might be benefical to visitors of the site (and yourself, of course!) please email me through the Contact Us button in the above left hand corner.
