I love having everything I need to develop my online business right here with the SMART(ER) Business Network. The quizzes, assignments, and discussions are invaluable in helping me apply what I learn in practice rather than just sticking to theory. Plus, I’m excited that they cover AI topics, which is exactly what I’m curious about right now.
I’m eager to know more about the networking and community-building opportunities available for members who are interested in these elective courses. How can we share our experiences and ideas with each other?
Hello, Mia…
Thanks for the positive feedback, it tells us that we are moving in the right direction with all the features and etc, we are adding to the SMART(ER) Business Network for members. We do want to always improve and cater to the needs of the members.
The networking takes place in a few different areas of the network – it can happen in the academy, in the community, or in the resource shop that all members have access to. Additionally, the member offers shop would be a place where networking can take place as buyers and sellers can help one another.
Our courses are largely without quizzes but often have worksheets or other taskings involved as part of the process. There are some that will have questions, no doubt, so the community is the area where we create groups for discussion, sharing of data, and the like.
Additionally, the weekly coaching sessions are opportunities to get information out and discuss between members. These are recorded live sessions that are archived for viewing at any time by members. So there are a lot of ways to generate communication for sure, just as we want it (and how members want it too!).
Cheers!

Hi Dave, I am very pleased to come across your website. The way in which you have explained internet marketing is decidedly different to what I have seen before, and is refreshing.
I know you are doing affiliate marketing but the approach you are using is, in my opinion, unique. I like the fact your focus seems to be on videos or vlogging. (Am I right?) And if I heard correctly you and I can choose a selection of training videos (I guess supported with manuals or other text based materials) designed specifically for me.
To give you a bit of info, I have been doing Affiliate Marketing for just over 2 years and am successful in some areas but definitely need help in other areas. I know the basics and am currently running 4 websites, but need help in how to recruit others to help. Do you cover this as well.
I have a lot more questions but if we could start with these it will steer me in the right direction.
Thanks
Steve
Hi, Steve!
Sorry so long to get back to you, I missed this comment with questions! For some reason, I thought I was caught up and only now see that this is still open. My apologies!
You have accurately laid out what we can and will do for you as a member of the network. We have affiliate training courses that provide materials (depending on the course there are a lot, some, or video only or even sourcebook and some related materials.
Most certainly I would be interested in working with you and actually, your questions come at a very good time for both of us. I can provide you at no cost access to the network for a year right now.
Normally the value we place on platinum membership (which is the access level you will have) runs $1000 a year, and regularly we offer a $350 sale price but during the remainder of the year (2023), it will cost only $96 on an extended Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale …
All the benefits and features will be open to you, and to start you off, there is a bonus package with resources and tools to help you leverage the business it sounds like you already have in place. Growing your affiliate base or getting others to work with you is an area we cover in coaching and mentoring sessions, and there are some materials and video courses as well.
Running 4 websites is not easy, it sounds like you are quite busy. Having access to the AI staff will help you for sure, I know they are becoming indispensable to our operations in the short time we are tapping into their power. In that regard, you will also have access to 70,000 DFY prompts that get you started – they provide a good starting point.
We also have several AI courses to help you maximize the power they provide. You do not need to pay for ChatGPT or similar platforms as our staff members are fully trained in their specialties using ChatGPT 3 and 4, Bard, and several other AI services.
I look forward to hearing back from you and getting you started. As we build the network out, you will have an excellent opportunity to earn some really good commissions as we get the word out. We are just starting so I do not doubt that your experiences will help immensely!
Oh yes, one last point. The commission rate is 25% as a platinum member too, and these commissions are recurring and lifetime. Add in the monthly prizes for the recruiting contests and affiliate recognition programs, and you can see that there is a lot of opportunity.
The lowered membership fees mean more people can afford to access the network. It is an easier sell. The special membership pricing is as follows (getting the marketing campaign together now for this sale) is dropping to $20 a month, $96 a year (cost is $8.00 a month!), or there is a 2-year option that will go for 1 x payment of $156 or 2 x payments of $90 (so $6.50 a month or $7.50 a month).
The bonus packages bring the real value up to $41.80 per month for the monthly $20, $81.50 per month for the 1-year plan, and $93.48 for the 2-year plan. At those sale prices, people will have extra cash and will need additional tools and resources to build out their business.
This is where the resource shop comes in. They can buy through us, save 10% on the purchase, and you as the referrer will again earn commissions of 25%. This is a lifetime deal, so any further purchases will result in the same commission rates.
Ooof I just noticed I may have gone on a bit long with this reply, and gone way beyond the basic questions.
I’ll cut it off and we can talk more once we have you set up…I apologize again for missing the comment and the questions! Mea Culpa!
Cheers!

Starting a business can feel overwhelming for many people. There is so much to learn and do, that many will struggle to know what should be done first. Learning basic skills will be different for many, so having all the core competency courses under one umbrella, is very helpful.
As an experienced coach and business owner, which basic skills do you think are the most important, and should therefore be mastered first? Thank you for your advise.
Good Day, Line!
In the world of online business, I would say that skills in using WordPress are paramount among the many that you will need, I say this because no matter the business model you choose to build your business, there is a need in a short while after starting for a presence online, your piece of digital real estate.
There are so many other essential skills. Planning, organizing, communicating, copywriting, sales copy, graphics, lead generation, using autoresponders, creating sales funnels, lead magnets, and SEO, are just a few. I advocate getting the ones you need first based on the business model and adding in the rest over time.
It does not all have to be done in a week, You can schedule your time so that you dedicate some time for training. Weekly at a minimum, would be my advice. This is why we are open 24/7 so members of the SMART(ER) Business Network can start the ones available within the academy.
We have hundreds more that are being migrated over from our old LMS (learning management system) as we have time. As we do this, we are updating and seeing what new sorts of supporting materials we can add to make the classes that much better for members, too.
Cheers!
Coach Dave : )
