I surveyed a good number of Infusionsoft users on their concerns about building an online course, offering a membership program and, the big questions, how do select a qualified, competent membership site builder that’s going to get me the results I need?

In this mini-course called, “Building and Selling Your Online Course PROFITABLY,” I give a high level walk through of the issues you and your provider need to address. It gives you an approach, a road map, a checklist for getting your project moving forward successfully.
This adventure may not be as bad as you think.
