Online Business School Review

I just wanted to post an update about Naomi Dunford’s Online Business School, now that I’ve finished going through most of it. I just sold another one this morning, so I know some of you want to learn about Naomi’s six types of online income streams:

  • Coaching/consulting
  • Services
  • Selling physical stuff
  • Ebooks/downloads
  • Niche sites
  • Affiliate marketing

Plus these bonuses:

  • Two sections of Dave Navarro’s 30 Hours A Day program to help you get more time, money, and freedom.
  • Two audios from Havi Brooks to help you find a peaceful place in the midst of all this financial uncertainty, worry and fear.
  • James Chartrand and Harrison McLeod’s Write For The Web so you can write good website copy, niche sites, or become a freelance writer.
  • Michael Martine’s SEO-Nomicon: SEO Magic for WordPress to get serious traffic to your site.
  • Josh Hohman’s Fool-Proof Niche Control Using Silos, which Naomi says is kind of like her niche websites module on steroids.
  • Naomi’s own personal Rolodex of the products and services and websites that make IttyBiz run smoothly.
  • And Naomi’s favorite, the Emergency Money Plan, for when you have no start-up capital and you need to pay rent by the first and you don’t have a clue what to do.

I haven’t gotten to any of the bonuses yet, but I’ve gone through the six modules, each consisting of text, audio, and video. It’s good, really good.

I see it mainly as a great high-level view. There are lots of different ways you can go about making money online, and you don’t want to waste time chasing the wrong thing while missing opportunities that would be better suited for you. So you want to know what your options are, and what they really entail, so you can have a plan to keep you focused.

It doesn’t cover every little question you could possibly have about everything, but it does contain a lot of information that you really don’t want to miss. For example, in the ebooks module, I learned that when you launch an ebook, you’re not supposed to just tell everyone it’s ready. You’re supposed to have an actual launch process, a well-planned and executed strategy, just like when they launch the Space Shuttle. (And since an ebook launch is a full topic by itself, Naomi will try to upsell you on her and Dave Navarro’s How to Launch the **** Out Of Your Ebook. That’s the only upsell, and I bought it because, well, I write ebooks.)

It occurs to me that bundling products is a great deal for everyone. It’s good for the customers because all these things would add up to way more than $397 separately (one hour of Naomi’s consulting time alone is $500), but it’s a great deal when you buy them together. And it’s good for the seller because by selling one big product instead of a bunch of little products, you scare away the most price-sensitive people, who Naomi says are very demanding customers. (As in, they ask you why you have the gall to charge $9 for your ebook when someone else is selling one on the same topic for $8.97. But someone who can afford an $897 product wouldn’t think twice about paying $900 for something that’s a lot better.)

Oh, and I make a brief cameo appearance in the video for the services module. For just a few seconds, my name is visible on Akemi’s Akashic Record reading page. Ironically, I saw this just half an hour after meeting another one of my spirit guides. :)

So, if you were interested in Online Business School but putting it off, now would be a good time to snag it. Naomi offers a knock-your-socks-off guarantee if you don’t love it: your money back, or personal coaching to make it work for you.

    You are on the video? Where?? Oh, my Akashic Record Reading site!

    @ Akemi, yeah, I got my 3 seconds of fame because of your site!

    OMG!!!!

    I missed the On-Line Business School discounted price! :-o

    Serves me right, though.

    (I guess there were no more cheap electrons left on the Internet to transmit the course material at $197…).

    That’s probably why the price suddenly went up.

    Yeah, that’s it. ;-)

    @ Friar, this just in from Naomi:

    “In other news, because I couldn’t warn you about the price hike, Online Business School is staying $197 until Monday at midnight EST. Then it’s $397. So if you haven’t already gotten in on this craziness, do so now and blow your info product budget for the year. (Then write your own killer ebook and I’ll pimp it out on my blog.)”

    Hey, there’s one other thing that could make a *big* difference in terms of online entrepreneurship: translation.

    Since only about 30% of the web is English-reading, every product you’re offering only in English, every blog post and e-book, could more than double its scope if it had a little button offering it in Spanish – Russian – German – French – Dutch – Portuguese – to name some of the languages I handle.

    I’m just in the process of expanding my translation company from old media to new. And I’m somewhat perplexed at finding that no one else has targeted the globalization of blogs before I did. In any event, feel free to add that to the list of things that can really add to an online income stream: redoing what you’ve already done, for the 450 million readers of Spanish, 410 million readers of French (and yes, we’d keep it sensitive to Canadian vs. France-style French), the mere 95 million readers of German, and the 360 million readers of Arabic. Not to mention Chinese.

    Let me know if you want an article about this subject.
