  • What changes to make to my products- using the same market tests, to figure out what new directions to explore.

Your initial goal is to test the best and brightest business idea you have—whether it may be footwear accessories, or a tutoring manifesto. Once you test your idea, you’ll get the data you need to either set the green light on scaling up your advertising, and generating a ton of customers (and making money along the way!) or setting up another test to figure out how you can make your idea more marketable.

The only equipment you will need is your laptop. I’ll show you along the way how to purchase your own website name. If you follow the tips in the course, you’ll only need to spend around $15-30 to get this test up and running (and the materials to do many more tests, too!)

I’ll walk you through step-by-step even how to download the software you’ll need. I even have office hours twice a month where you can ask me any questions, live over video chat for an hour. If you can’t make the office hours, you can always shoot me an email, or post a question on the discussion board. Your understanding is my priority.

Whether you already have experience or not, you can quickly begin to make money by testing your ideas until they fit the market … just like me!

I stress that you need no prior experience. But for those of you who do have experience with marketing and landing page design, the wealth of information and tips is well worth the while. Fundamentals are still fundamentals, after all.
