The course is not about "putting up a site." It's all about building a real business.
Here are three case studies from the first graduating class of September, 2006:
Case 1
This student is a math tutor by day. He admits that his computer skills were very limited. But friends of his had a business and an idea to sell trailer parts. After 10 months his site generates 50 - 100 visitors a day and he is growing www.discount-trailer-parts.com into a budding online business that is already tasting success."I have already sold some hard goods and looking to do some joint ventures with the Far East who have contacted me after finding me in the search engines."
Case 2
This mother of two had no idea what to build a site about. She did not know anything about golf and had only played miniature golf. After brainstorming different concepts www.junior-golf-guide.com was the site she decided to build her online business on.
Today she has over 50 visitors a day and continues to grow. Here are some of her accomplishments only 10 months from the end of the class.
"I had a Joint Venture proposition to sell a golf eBook and keep 60% commission. A retailer of junior golf website made contact with me to see how we can work together. I'm awaiting a written proposition and will see if it's interesting or not. The state of Georgia contacted me also to list their website on mine to promote junior golf in Georgia."
