08/03/2010 Update: HostIcan refund issue has been resolved with full refund provided by Mr. Denis Motova. He called me in addition to replying to my last email and leaving comment on this blog and has apologized for the “inter department” screw up. According to him problem was within Billing department and he was away during the last leg of communications I have attempted – hence I got no answer and issue quickly escalated. Because full refund provided I’m crossing out statements within this blog post that no longer hold true and providing update and resolution at the end of time line.

I still don’t think that getting a simple refund should be such a frustrating and time consuming process and has to escalate to the point it did

Original Blog Post Content with Edits and Notes:

HostICan VPS and shared hosting provides seemingly great value and since 2008 I was their happy customer, that is until I became a victim of consumer fraud when I have decided to take advantage of their “No Questions Asked Money Back Guarantee”.

I was actually quite surprised to discover that culture of defrauding the customer is something that appears to be encouraged by the company owner Mr. Denis Motova himself (Mr. Motova called me personally and advised me that he was out of town). This blog post will contain detailed information and personal opinion so you can decide for yourself if you decide to give your money to HostICan or perhaps look elsewhere…

In attempt to expand our presence my partner and I have decided to purchase yet one more VPS server for our sites. HostIcan was our hosting provider since 2008 and were quite satisfied with their level of technical support, price and performance. Due to that fact we have decided to simply buy one more new VPS Extreme server.

Here is the recap of everything that transpired this blog post and…

Why I Believe that HostICan is a Hosting Fraud Operator!

• On June 4th I have purchased a 6-Months “VPS Extreme” hosting package.  $519.70 was paid via PayPal. HUGE mistake on my part as I knew that PayPal doesn’t provide buyer protection for any Digital or Service purchases. But at that time I have been a customer with HostICan for over 2 years and opted to go for convenience.
  NOTE: Always use Credit Card for large purchases to be able to fight the charges!
• On June 22, after being dissatisfied with the original purchase I have followed the process for obtaining a refund, according to the “30 Days No Questions Asked Money Back Guarantee“. I submitted a cancellation and a refund request (Ref #THT-759551) via a phone conversation with the customer service representative named Bakarr.  According to an email that I received after this conversation I was to receive my refund within 5 days.
• On June 28 (6 days later) my purchased service has been discontinued and the billing account has been deleted from the system, however the refund has not been processed.  I have sent an email in reply to the original ticket associated with the request for a refund.
• On July 2nd, I have called the billing department since I’ve never received a reply to my June 28th email.  I spoke to the customer service representative Brad and asked for assistance with getting a refund.  Brad said that he will forward the request to the billing manager and I should get the refund within 5 days.
• On July 4th I have sent a second email asking for refund and clarification since the refund still had not been processed and no communication was received. I know… it was a holiday but even later no response was received!
• July 9 – I had made a second phone call and once again spoke to Brad who opened a new ticket (Ref. # DYN-304071) to expedite the refund for the services.  No refund had been provided.
• July 12 – I had opened a PayPal dispute, case #PP-001-016-538-114, to get my money back
• July 14 – PayPal closed my dispute.  I spoke to the PayPal account manager who emailed HostICan with a request to honor their refund policy and advised me to pursue escalation outside of PayPal to following authorities: www.bbbonline.com, www.ftc.gov, www.ic3.gov (operated by the FBI), www.econsumer.gov. I honestly found PayPal stand on this quite interesting since in my opinion this is a direct fraud – company took the money for service and failed to provide, service that is measurable by term! But I guess whatever helps them rake the cash…
• July 16 – Called again and spoke to Bakarr, who promised to call me back with a final resolution.  I waited for the promised call, which never came.  Called back and spoke to Mike, who promised once again to escalate to the  billing manager
• July 19 – Called again and spoke with Bakarr and Brad, both have promised to get with billing manager to honor the refund policy. Never received any replies and have not been credited.
• July 19 – Emailed owner of the company Mr. Denis Motova with the information provided above and received a reply “I will investigate, and my internal team will review to see what is going on and get this sorted.” I did make a mistake with date of initial purchase in email but since it didn’t impact the “Guarantee” period – it is non-essential. See the image below, click to see full image:

• July 23rd – I emailed Mr. Motova again and asked if he has any updates on the case – no reply
• July 29 – I emailed Mr. Motova and also CC-ed their Billing Support email address  billing@hostican.com with a request to address the issue. I wanted to be sure that  if by any chance Mr. Motova is on vacation or out of office – someone has an ample opportunity to respond and avoid escalation through legal channels.  No reply from Mr. Motova but I did receive a notification that yet another support ticket (Ref. # NRI-810414) has been created.
• July 30th – I have followed advise provided by PayPal and submitted complain to every site provided to me as well as writing this blog post.

Post Resolution Facts:

• August 2nd – I have called PayPal and requested escalation and investigation of the HostIcan business practices, since they do business through their merchant account.
• August 2nd – I received full refund as guaranteed by HostICan Policy. Mr. Denis Motova left comment on this blog, called me personally and apologized for the problem in billing department. According to him he was away since our initial communication, which allowed problem to escalate and become public knowledge.

As it stands today, HostIcan took my money for 6 month of service, which had been cancelled after 18 days. I have followed their outlined procedures to get my money back, according to HostICan’s Guarantee. The refund had never been processed regardless of my many attempts, including communicating to the owner of the company.  At this point it is safe to assume that I am a victim of fraud.

Not to mention that it took me and my partner few weeks to migrate all our sites and business to new host. I have mentioned it in my previous post “Blog On The Move“.

Since HostIcan methodically and intentionally ignored all my attempts to resolve this issue via normal means I want to use this blog post as means to warn other consumers by sharing my personal and detailed story!

I withheld nothing and if HostICan choose to reply here – it will not be deleted!

Summary 08/03/2010:

After multiple attempts and escalations I have received full refund! I appreciate direct intervention by Mr. Motova and final resolution of the problem. I do think this issue should have never be allowed to escalate to the point it did and since it became public knowledge – this post will remain online with my edits and final resolution.

Income Fitness by Barbara Ling is one eBook I have read lately that answers one of the biggest questions I get from multiple people:

How does one start with building online business if there are not readily available cash or knowledge?

While it has enough information to keep even a person experienced in many aspects of Internet Marketing interested in finishing reading it – it truly shines if you are totally new to the entire scene and quite frankly lost in all the talk, hype and promises! In fact I think it is directly answers a question submitted by one of my readers:

Sounds like you? Read on than…

My personal favorite quote from question above is:

Many “lack of action” people are confused, don’t know what to ask and feel ashamed, so quit.

That one single line submitted by Lee made me realize that perhaps I’m to blame as well for ignoring this very simple fact – Need For A Complete Guidance! Sometimes we fail to realize that what is taken for granted by us is not necessary something that even makes sense to other person and I want to thank Lee for helping me realize it!

And now that I’m done beating myself up I want to answer a question that you just might have by now…

How Does Income Fitness Can Help You?

While I had a review copy of the eBook Barbara have shared with me, before it was fully completed – it gave me chance to see just how appealing it is in its simplicity!

And no, it is not simplicity of the information but rather delivery, as Barbara is a veteran marketer and webmaster and truly shines in this eBook by delivering information in concise, actionable and simple to follow format.

• Organization of the ebook is one of the aspects I like as I think it will allow anyone to follow the steps outlined in it with ease. No matter what your current experience level is – information is easy to access
• Minimal Technical Knowledge approach within ebook ensure that you don’t need a technical background to implement strategies she shares. I think this one is my personal downfall in many cases as I like technical solution when they are available without taking into account people who might not be able to implement them. Barbara beautifully navigates through this obstacle!
• Exact Steps outlined to you. No more guessing on what your next action should be, just open the ebook where you left off and follow through. As long as you are honest with yourself and actually follow the steps – you have no more excuse for failure
• Resources Filled ebook will also points you in right direction for getting support, assistance or save the time and money by purchasing only what is absolutely needed. Ever been in position where you buy info product only to learn that you need to buy a WHOLE lot more just to be able to follow it? Then you got to give this ebook a look.

There is a lot more to the eBook and the product comes with member forums, in which I also participate although not too often and it contains the information you will need and support you can understand.

I’m sharing this eBook through my affiliate link but I don’t take this promotion lightly. I think this eBook will provide you with answers you are seeking for as long as you are willing to learn and willing to act! So no more excuse to the “lack of action” as a budget priced ebook by Barbara has the answers, if you are willing to ask questions.

This weekend I have finished my reading of Darren Rowse eBook “31 Days To Build a Better Blog“. All 94 pages of it! To say that it contains great information would be unfair understatement! eBook is a great resource for any blogger, no matter which platform you are using as it deals with general concepts that will apply to any platform and action steps that will work for ANY blog. So the question is then – why did I title this post:

When “Good Practice” is Bad Investment?

Right? Excellent point!

So there I was, seating… reading… agreeing…

Right up until I got to Day 27 (yes, entire ebook is a compilation of Blog Posts by Darren that was used in project with same name) – Hunt for Dead Links [Day 27: 31DBBB].

Entire lesson in that day is based on a VERY GOOD and solid “best practice” guideline for webmasters – be sure that you site doesn’t contain any dead links.

And by dead links it simply means – any link that goes to a page that either no longer exist or changed. It is a great advice but quite frankly – EXTREMELY time consuming. I don’t know about you but for me finding a time to create content and maintain other aspects of my online business is a lot more important.

Especially since there is No Known or at least confirmed penalty for having dead links as Darren rightfully states in his lesson and as mentioned by many other blogs around the web.

Problem often comes from using plugins on our blogs, as they create links not designed to be followed and as such give errors, that is in addition to actual links that are dead. On my last scan I had hundreds of “dead links” and it would require me way too much time to address them. Perhaps if you are just starting a new blog and integrate the process into your monthly routine as Darren suggests – it will work but for me…

Bad Investment of my time, considering that I don’t see it helping or punishing me.  So the questions is now – what do I think about eBook overall?

31 Days To Build A Better Blog

As I have stated right before I jumped into the argument on one of the points Darren makes in his eBook – “…I was, seating… reading… agreeing…”

That is because I think that eBook is a superb reference and action steps guide. While it is available for reading on Darren’s blog – I like to have an easy access to information, print is and read at my convenience. Yeah, I like to read printed information, as it also allows me to highlight the points I need to further look into and make the guide truly useful to me!

Oh, yeah – the eBook also includes notes from Darren, references for additional reading  and Action Steps for each Lesson, which I’m sure many will appreciate.

Quite nice features in my opinion!

While you can read the entire Guide on Darren’s Blog – I recommend you purchase the eBook edition as for $14 it is great investment! Even if you don’t follow every lesson I can assure you that you will get a lot of great information and with printed material – you can actually separate it into action steps as YOU are willing to take them!

Advanced Twitter Marketing System cuts through the crap that seem to be flooding the internet and delivers Twitter strategies that actually work! Better yet, they work by using common sense and knowledge that comes from years of experience!

Twitter has become so popular that everyone jumps on band wagon and since there are many new comers – there is demand for knowledge! Knowledge on how to use Twitter effectively for accomplishing whatever goals you have set when you joined it! And when there is a demand – offers didn’t make us wait long!

Problem is – majority of the “Twitter Guides” are pure crap that teaches variations of twitter spamming and shares info any person with common sense should avoid. Advanced Twitter Marketing is different in a way that it actually gives you knowledge that is genuine…

I know my opinion is biased but hey – it’s my blog!

So allow me to discuss Why You Should consider purchasing Advanced Twitter Marketing

Besides the fact that strategies within will work, I think one of the most important factors here is a person behind the guide.

I’m a strong believer that we learn best from someone we can associate with, someone for whom we have respect and become more receptive to learn! Doug Champigny is a man I have a deep respect for and he is the strategies behind the guide!

Coming from years of experience in offline Direct Marketing he managed to successfully migrate that knowledge into Online World and build his own marketing empire. Not only does he have a direct knowledge of how to market – he knows how to do in most effective manner while contributing to the social scene!

One of the major aspects I liked about the guide is that unlike majority of the others – Doug actually teaches you how to not only build a huge following on Twitter but also how to become a central focal point for those who choose to be part of your community and service their needs by providing relevant info, which includes marketing!

If you want to dive into Twitter or perhaps want to use strategies that actually work – Advanced Twitter Marketing guide will get you there FAST, ETHICALLY and EFFICIENTLY!

Effective advertisement management on your blog is one of the more important aspects of earning as you only have limited space to sell. WordPress banner manager plugin I want to discuss today is actually quite a bit more…

• It is a complete Ad Server that gives you full Control and Banner Placement flexibility
• It is a solution that allows you to keep 100% of the income generated via sold ads
• It is a marketplace for your blog, where advertisers can purchase ads on your blog directly

OIO Publisher is a plugin I will talk about AND I will give you a discount coupon to grab all that goodness! Just read on…

I have installed and been using OIO Publisher plugin for last few days and you can see the ads presented by it at the very top of my blog. Interestingly enough it gets more clicks than I expected so I decided to keep it and also share with my readers.

Major Features Of OIO Publisher

When I initially purchase the plugin I was simply looking for 2 things:

1. Ability to offer ad space on my blog for sale in multiple formats that allowed me to keep all the income
2. Tracking and accessibility

What I got with OIO Publisher was quite a bit more as it is a full Ad Server that can be used as stand alone or as a plugin for your WordPress blog. Documentation can be better if I may say so but its not so hard to figure it out!

• Marketplace – unless your blog has a rabbit following and external interest like Darren Rowse does – you need a way to allow potential advertisers see what you have to offer. Plugin comes with an optional marketplace listing by manually reviewing your blog and providing you with API that gives advertisers access to purchase ad directly from marketplace. You still keep 100% of proceeds!

• Templates – If you click on Advertise link you will see the template page generated by plugin that allows me to sell ads on my blog without much intervention from me while still been controlled. You can even place it on complete Autopilot, although I wouldn’t recommend it! While I love automation – I need to have control over what ads displayed on my blog and I have that option.

• Multiple Ad Zones and Banner Types – this plugin supports them all and in some case more then most! You get the standard Banners of multiple sized, Text Ads that can be presented instead of AdSense or using something more custom like you see at the top of this blog but it also comes with couple Unique options:

• • Inline Ads - basically ads auto inserted into WordPress posts and can be images and text with you having complete control over the content
  • Intext Links – ever so popular option to buy a link from your blog post with linking from specific keyword! Well now you have a chance to sell those! HUGE opportunity here! I decided not to use them right now but its available!

• Review Posts – you can also sell review posts directly from your blog. Just be absolutely sure you know what you are doing when using this option to avoid any penalties and legal proceeding as we seen before. I personally don’t use this option but once again – you have it available! One thing here comes to mind – you have an option to make Posts option available for FREE with submitter providing content – can be great option to use for getting Guest Posts! I’m looking into that option!

• Multiple Payment Processing Options provided for you an should satisfy pretty much anyone. You can sell your ads easily and effectively – I do think only PayPal option allows you to set re-occurring purchase (subscription) but not 100% sure.

• Tracking and Stats something you simply must have and this plugin delivers! Not only do you get standard web based stats – you can also set to email stats to your advertisers. This way they know they value they get for a dollar spent!

• Modular Design of the plugin gives i flexibility to expand! It actually have a way for you to offer affiliate commissions for selling ads on your blog! how cool is that?! Not that I plan to use it but I have it available and it can be a great option if your blog is used to promote upcoming product lunch!

Functionality above are just some of the most important and interesting features of the OIO Publisher plugin that I have personally played around with and found to be beneficial.

There are minuses…

OIO Publisher Shortcomings

• Documentation – one thing that can never be provided enough off and its true for any script. No matter how much you document things, you simply can;t cover everything. While plugin comes with guides – there could be more detailed instructions. I do have to add that you are also provided with support forums and in my experience Simon, plugin developer responded very fast to help request!

• Requires Some Knowledge – you have to be able to understand and implement ad zones, perhaps even modify code in your WordPress templates to implement them. In my case I had to define new CSS class to style it properly. On upside to this – Inline Ads come to your rescue and allow auto insert the ads for you!

OIO Publisher May Discount

If I didn’t manage to scare you with complexity yet and you are still interested in OIO Publisher plugin I want to offer you a $10 Off it regular price of $47

OIO Publisher May Discount Coupon: INDIGO-39

Simply go to OIO Publisher sales page – proceed to checkout and when asked – provide the coupon code to get $10 off. That is it – one time purchase will give you access to extremely flexible WordPress banner management plugin!

EasySellerPro was launched yesterday by Kim Standerline and perhaps was missed by many in the noise of many other product launches that currently happen. And yet I personally think that this one can be of direct interest to many Niche Marketers, bloggers and anyone who is trying to sell digital products online.

EasySellerPro Review post is here to help you have a more in depth look at the script and what exactly you can expect from it, perhaps even decide if the script fits your own online marketing needs or not.

What Is EasySellerPro?

In a nutshell EasySellerPro is a shopping cart script that is made extremely simple to setup and use. It is designed to help non-technical people create Online Shopping Portal and sell their digital products. While it goes against many competitors – its simplicity of setup and usage makes it stand shoulders above competition.

To help you understand what you can do with EasySellerPro I provide a set of videos, created by its authors:

Now that you have a better understanding of what you can actually do with EasySellerPro, I think its time to discuss some of its most notable benefits.

EasySellerPro In Detail

Installation: One of the main benefits od the script its simplicity. I have said it before and I will repeat it again. You can install the script on your hosting account in minutes, even if you have no technical knowledge. You get access to video training that will guide you through entire process!

Configuration: Once again – simplicity shines through and entire configuration process is quite painless. You simply add your categories, products and get ready to sell. Navigation of the script is very intuitive and will help you overcome the learning curve, see image below;

Usage: While this is obviously up to you how you will use the script I think it will be most fitting for people who have multiple products within same niche (such as all MRR, PLR info products you have collecting digital dust on your hard drive) or even within multiple niches.

Script comes with unlimited domain installation license which I personally like. You have the ability to use it as many times as you need to without paying extra fees we see often imposed by other shopping cart scripts.

Recommendation

As with anything, this script is Not For Everyone! I know that sales letter of the EasySellerPro is very compelling but before you make a jump I recommend you think about one thing:

• How Does It Fits my current business model?

Super Affiliate Blogger released by Gobala Krishnan managed to generate a few questions from my customers and subscribers and I decided to answer the questions and write a full Review on Super Affiliate Blogger.

In this article I want to share my personal view on what is good and what I have discovered to be a potential issue and you might have to watch out for and I also want to talk about what I personally think is the Greatest Feature of Super Affiliate Blogger product.

You might be surprised to learn what conclusions I came up with after reading, digesting and perhaps most importantly – Testing of the plugins that come with Super Affiliate Blogger product!

So, dig in and see what you will discover for yourself and make a decision if the product is right for you…

But before we even begin talking about the product I think it is important to understand the components included because my personal conclusion will heavily rely on your understanding why I came to it… so in the first part of review we will look at..

What Is Included Into Super Affiliate Blogger?

Gobala has separated products in its own distinctive modules based on functionality they present or information they provide.

Module 1: Super Affiliate Blogger Guide

217 pages eBook that is a unique blend of WordPress guide and Affiliate Marketing. Gobala takes approach that addresses 2 major issues – bloggers get to learn about Affiliate Marketing and Affiliate Marketers get introduced to blogging.

Filled with tried and true information it can be a complete guide or a refresher course if you are not familiar with all the aspects required to be completed to blend the two nicely and to enjoy the profits. I think Super Affiliate Blogger Guide eBook could have easily stood on its own as a product but since Gobala have introduced a twist in form of other modules I will discuss those in details!

Module 2: Super Affiliate Pro WordPress Themes

As it states – a collection of professionally designed Niche themes fro WordPress to help you get started as soon as possible and create a look to the blog that is most appropriate for your specific niche. I will not be talking about this one too much as you simply have to see them for yourself…

Module 3: Affiliate Link Tracking System for WordPress

Now we are getting to the core of what I personally thought was the Best Part of the product! A plugin for WordPress 2.5.* that allows you to integrate Affiliate Masking and cloaking into the blog Admin interface. It makes a process of including affiliate links into your blog so simple – I’ll be migrating All my own links to it, as I go alone.

Right now I use third party solution (script) for affiliate link masking and tracking but starting with this post – my affiliate links are on the plugin provided with SAB. It is a great time saver to have an easy access to that function from within your blog interface.

While it doesn’t have too many features – it has all the basics one would need: tracking, cloaking, custom name AND integration into Editor. See screenshot below:

Make No Mistake – while this plugin is not loaded with huge number of features – I personally think this one could have been a product on its own. From all the modules included in the product I found this one to be the Most Beneficial as it provides me with time savings.

Side Note: I have discovered on one of my blogs used for testing that when Permalinks url and one of the custom links specified in Cute Links have same first word – it defaulted to the permalink URL. For example www.blog.com/likes/wordpress (cute link) would default to www.blog.com/wordpress-article-I-have. Changing custom link fixes the issue but make sure to test your links – ALWAYS!

Module 4: Opt-In List Building System for WordPress

Second plugin included with the Super Affiliate Blogger it also addresses one of the problems encountered by many bloggers – Opt-In form inclusion. I can attest to it as I had to answer quite a few support requests with my customers advising them HOW to add the Subscribe form to Sidebar without breaking the blog layout.

If you know how to work with CSS and HTML this one might not be needed fro you but simplicity it provides can be a HUGE time saver and head ache remover from great many bloggers. Adding a subscription form is as easy as Creating a new form and providing all the necessary details, see image below

And then simply adding a New Widget to Sidebar location most appropriate for your blog.

As I have mentioned – if you know how to work with HTML – you will not need this plugin but if you treasure your time or simply want the simplicity – this one is a great tool and time saver!

Module 5: Super Affiliate Blueprint Handbook

This one as it states – blueprint that outlines what needs to be done n order to benefit the guide to its fullest. Honestly I have only glanced at it as I always tend to rely on my own schedule and designations of what is important and what is not.

7 Days Work Plan provided by this blueprint should force you to actually have a blog ready for affiliate income and earning. I like the way tasks have been outlined but as mentioned before – rely on my own pace…

There are also Bonuses, Support, One Way links and some other goodies included with the system but in my personal opinion…

Summary:

2 Plugins I have described above and the eBook itself make this product a great value if you are not versed in both aspects outlined in it or simply want to save time through the use of plugins that provide access to some very crucial functions of affiliate marketing from within your WordPress Admin interface.

I’m a strong believer that blogging and affiliate marketing are two aspects of online business that not only beneficial to each other but should be blended anytime there is an opportunity. Nothing is more effective right now then this blend simply because it allows you to take advantage of the best of two worlds while still keeping your transparency and integrity in tact! Super Affiliate Blogger will teach you how to get this blend cooking!

Discount: During the initial launch week Gobala is selling this product with a $30 discount so if you are interested – grab the Super Affiliate Blogger now.

As someone who provides an option to get additional training that accompanies my main product using a membership model I know first hand how nice it is to get paid for your work on autopilot. Or to be exact – get paid monthly (or however often you set it to) for a sale made once. Membership sites are a model that many successful Internet Marketers implement and use for one simple reason – recurring profits, assuming that content is worth it.

But running a membership site is not simple if you try to do all the work yourself. In fact it becomes extremely time consuming, as I have learned first hand and requires a lot of effort. After all – to keep people subscribed we have to provide high quality information. There are several solutions to this and in this post I want to share one, created by my friend Anthony Hull that beats anything I have seen before…

Readymade Membership Sites is a project he has launched several month ago and one that has been rewarding its members with monthly recurring income. In fact, due to the scarcity (he only accepts 100 members) it makes a perfect model for someone who is just looking to get started with running their own Membership Site but who has no idea how to get started…

And let me explain why. Running a membership site requires several very important aspects: a high quality script that will be able to accept payments automatically and deliver member’s content automatically, a well-written sales letter and high-quality graphics to attract people and actually entice them to join and last but not least – high quality content provided to customers on monthly basis.

So, to do all of the above, you have a couple of options:

• Assuming you are a very well rounded person and can handle ALL the tasks I have described above with great quality – you can do everything yourself, or perhaps outsource some parts to others. Which is still going to cost you quite a bit as quality work never comes cheap!
• You can outsource everything, just like many of the guru’s do and have someone generate everything for you while you are busy doing promotion and getting new members. Now that option will get very expensive in a hurry!

Want to know the third option?

Yep, you guessed it – Readymade Membership Sites . I think this concept is nothing short of genius:

• You join the private club and secure your spot for a monthly fee
• You get a Fully Setup membership site with domain of your choosing and hosting is included.
• All pages are ready to go (includes professionally written sales page and all internal pages, customized with your site name)
• All content is delivered to your members automatically each month like clock work. The content creation is outsourced and provided to your site members by Anthony but the cost of it is shared by all the site owners of ReadymadeMembership Sites so you get superb quality for a super low investment.

All you have left to do is promote, get members and receive recurring income!

Yeah, you actually do have to work to get paid but now that work is being reduced to just promotional efforts as all technical and content creation aspects have been taken care of for you. As it stands right now – Readymade Membership Sites are the easiest way to tap into the membership marketing model. And once you see the process you can either duplicate it yourself or just continue to enjoy the benefits of the work been done for you!

See if Readymade Membership Sites is for you!
