When it comes to creating and growing an online business and a successful blog, do you feel any of the following?…
If you answered yes to any of those… YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
How do I know that? Well, I’ve been running an online business for 15 years now, and have been helping others do the same for about the last 5 of those years (after successfully building up a technology blog into a six figure business). Needless to say, I’ve been doing this a lot longer than most. And, I’ve seen and heard it all.
Those 15 years have given me the understanding to help others cut through the fluff and hype about running an online business, and for the last 5 years, that’s what I’ve been doing.
You’re at the gateway of a private membership training portal which serves as the center for the ACADEMY community and mastermind.
Inside the Academy, you will find guided training, based around a definite framework that I have created. You will find a community waiting to help you during your pursuit of success online. You will also find a TON of bonus content.
The problem with many other training programs is that you are left with a HUGE body of information, then essentially left to your own devices to figure out how to apply it. Sometimes there are Q&A calls, but they’re not often enough and students don’t feel as if they’re getting enough personal attention.
The Academy is different.
The Academy training is being created around a framework – a blueprint – that was designed by me to lead to a natural progression through the material. Not only that… it is based around the idea of building a real BUSINESS. We’re not just talking about blogging here. We’re talking about building a real business which has the capability of supporting your lifestyle.
The “Training” area is broken down into training segments which are designed to go in the order they’re listed. Each section has clear and concise “action items” in order to put the information to use. And each segment ends off with an assignment where you will be answering several questions designed to have you actually USING the information within.
Now, here’s what happens from there…
Those assignments are submitted to Academy staff (which for now, is mainly me). And you’ll get a reply back with any clarification you might need. This is a true, interactive SERVICE environment. I know, actual customer service seems like a weird thought in the online marketing space, but I’m taking this pretty seriously.
Another thing we’re in the process of implementing is actually tracking your progress through the material. If we don’t see anything happening, guess what… we’re going to get in touch with you and ask what’s going on.
And, in terms of getting help and an external viewpoint to help with doing all this for yourself, we hold personal mastermind calls EVERY TWO WEEKS. We also have a forum and private Facebook group for our members.
When you enroll in the Academy, I’m going to hook you up with a HUGE bonus (quite literally)…
Let me tell you about the Blog Masters Club training program…
Blog Masters Club is essentially a PhD program in professional blogging. It consists of 16 training modules, including everything from choosing your niche, SEO, monetization, video production, list building, marketing and persuasion, etc.
It is about 30 hours of training – obviously quite a bit. But, don’t worry… the entire thing is broken down into action guides which will guide you through everything and provide assignments to have you applying the material to your business. And, we’ve also provided transcripts as well as downloable MP3 files so you can take the material with you and listen on the go.
So, why am I including this as a bonus?
Blog Masters Club was available as a stand-alone product for a few years. It was launched in 2009 and sold for about $500, and I’ve sent hundreds of students through it.
But, things change. Some of the material (mainly around social media) required updates. Plus, I really wanted to change the approach – and that approach is what you’ll be getting with the core training of this Academy. So, I took Blog Masters off the market as a stand-alone product. But, there is no doubt that it is still very valuable to folks, and there are Academy students going through it right now.
People are freakin’ tired of overpaying and feeling under-serviced. People are tired of feeling like buying one product was merely a “gateway drug” to being pitched for higher priced products, or super high priced mastermind groups.
So, I want to keep things simple. I want to build a real community of like-minded people who “get it”. Who are passionate. Who have good hearts and want to truly bring value to the world. And, your Academy membership is never taken for granted. I’m not going to pepper you with promotions. That’s just rude.
Your membership will be a Charter Membership. This means you’re getting in early, while the core training is still being created. You’re in at the “ground level”, so to speak. After all, it wasn’t all that long ago that I decided to change my strategy of teaching online and created this Academy.
As a charter member, you will be securing a rate which is lower than what it will ultimately be. This isn’t some kind of false scarcity tactic on my part. The bi-weekly, interactive calls alone are worth far more than the incredibly small monthly membership fee. So, this price WILL be increasing as the core training becomes more complete and more established.
But, you’ll get a secured rate. There are no long-term commitments, and you can cancel any time you damn well please if you don’t think I’m delivering a lot more value than what I’m charging you.
Plus, you can try out the Academy 100% risk free, with my 60-day money back guarantee. This means you can try it out and see if it works for you. If, after a few weeks or whatever, you don’t think this is your cup of tea, then simply cancel. We’ll refund your first month’s tuition.
No problem, no hassles, its all good.
Like I said before, I’m interested in working with people with the right frame of mind, for the right reasons. So, that’s why those rules are in place.
All the best… and I look forward to seeing you on the first “orientation” message inside the Academy.
