OMS Review of Outsourcing And Virtual Assistant Companies and Services

Introduction to Outsourcing And Virtual Assistant Companies And Services

Outsourcing of some of the repetitive, time consuming and highly skilled tasks required for a successful online business can be a massive aid to the website owner and entrepreneur with limited time and tight deadlines to meet, provided that you specify everything which you need correctly and concisely, and are tight regarding allocated budgets, so as to avoid wasting time and money.

What Do You Need From Outsourcing?

An entrepreneur or website owner can decide to outsource almost anything from his task list, but you need to decide what exactly you want to get done by someone else and why that is.

Repetitive Tasks Which Are Time Consuming

There are a miriad of repetitive and time consuming tasks which the online entrepreneur needs to get done. Ideally you carry them out yourself in order to save money expended, but your time may have a higher value carrying out more productive tasks, from which you can get a better Return On Investment.

Virtual Assistant Companies

One of the biggest investments a company can make in Outsourcing is to hire a Virtual Assistant.

There are many potential Virtual Assistant companies who offer such services. One such company is 123employee.com, but there are many others in the marketplace also.

123Employee.com

We do have some imited experience of working with 123Employee.com but it was not a fruitful relationship and did not progress beyond the start up phase. From our side the relationship was not satisfactory.

One of the problems with hiring a Virtual Assistant is that you must precisely describe everything which you expect that employee to carry out, and in which priorities. This means that you must instruct them to do training on the particular software packages which you use, and allow them time to carry out the training as well, before they can productively use it.

Our particular initiative revolved around getting some feedback from the outsourcing company, which was not forthcoming, so we decided to cancel the arrangement before any more time and money was lost.

No matter what your VA carries out on your behalf, you are obliged to pay for their time. This may work out ok if you have a relationship with your VA and they are responsive to your needs. On the other hand, do you really know what your VA has been doing all day, when you are several thousand miles away in another continent.

Our conclusion is that you would be better served hiring a real assistant rather than a Virtual Assistant, and you can then personally instruct them and personally communicate with them about what results they have achieved. If necessary you can personally modify instructions to the Real Assistant. This applies even if the hourly cost of a Real Assistant is higher in theory than that of a Virtual Assistant. It is not about hourly cost, it is about real cost and efficiency ie real value, not virtual value.

Even if the cost of hiring an Assistant in your home country is higher than it may be in a low cost country such as India or The Phillipines, we urge you to strongly consider paying the higher cost as better communication and control could give you a higher value return on your investment.

Other Services Which Can Be Outsourced are the highly skilled and specialised ones for which you may need special software and a higher level of expertise than many people possess:

Logo Design and Preparation

There are many many companies on the internet who can offer logo design services, with a wide range of price structures.

One of the sources of Logo design is Fiverr.com

Fiverr.com

We have used Fiverr.com for logo design services, and chose one of a number of competing logo designers. The logo was delivered within the agreed timescale and was of adequate quality. We paid approximately $12 for the logo, plus a tip, which is an unusual feature of Fiverr.com, which we have not come across on other similar websites.

virtual assistant companies

fiverr-range-of-services

Freelancer.com

Freelancer.com is another website where you can commission many different types of service. Note the price of a mobile website is quoted in bottom right hand corner. Projects can be advertized for pricing alternatively specialist resource can be hired by the hour.

virtual assistant companies

freelancer-home-page

 

Guru.Com

Guru.com is another outsourcing site similar to the two above, which says it has 3 million experts at your disposal.

virtual assistant companies

guru-home-page

.

www.Iwriter.com

www.Iwriter.com is another outsourcing site, more geared towards content creation, writing articles. posts and pages, rather than design.

virtual assistant companies

www-iwriter-com

 

 

Upwork.com

Upwork.com is another large scale general outsourcing service site, with many specialists available.

virtual assistant companies

upwork-home-page

 

 

OMS Conclusion and Recommendation

We conclude that you need to categorise the tasks which you want to procure  from Virtual Assistant Companies.

The first category of tasks is those which are repetitive and time consuming and which can be outsourced and delegated to a cheaper resource.

Our recommendation would be to think very carefully before entering into a contract for Virtual Assistant services. A local assistant may be a better and more efficient arrangement.

You may be better served by hiring an assistant locally rather than employing someone remotely who you do not have first hand visibility of, and have difficulty managing and controlling.

The second category of tasks which may be delegated are usually those which are highly specialised and involve skilled work, for which there are many expert specialists whose services you can buy at very reasonable rates. You can get such expert services from companies like:

  • Fiverr.com
  • Upwork.com
  • Freelancer.com
  • Guru.com
  • Iwriter.com

OMS recommends using such companies because you can get real value for money from buying from the right specialist for the job you need done.

If you are short of money to buy in such services, you could consider signing up to Wealthy Affiliate, which offers a massive amount of FREE training, as well as preparing and hosting 2 websites even if you decide not to join as a Premium Member, for more information click here.

Introduction to Some Passive Streams Of Income Ideas

Introduction to Passive Streams Of Income Ideas

There are many ways in which to create multiple streams of income from your businesses. The following are some passive streams of income ideas:

  • Internet Business
  • Traditional Business (Bricks and Mortar physical premises)
  • Investment Business

Internet Businesses can do all their business online or they could be hybrids with traditional businesses. Many of the traditional retailers are offering more online services since the purchasing trend of consumers is more towards ordering online for home delivery.

passive streams of income ideas

Online Business

The best example of the success of the pure online retailer (with no physical store) is, of course, Amazon, which is growing and plans to enter into market areas which are more associated with the High Street, such as property sales.

Companies such as John Lewis or any of the major retailers have to offer online as an option to their customers, as well as keeping their high street stores open (at great cost). BHS was a casualty of which there have been many on the High Street

Traditional Businesses can also be quite varied and many traditional businesses have online departments as well, so as to offer their customers choices about how and when they can purchase the products which they want. Examples would be Currys PC World, who have physical premises as well as good online ordering and delivery systems for the products which they sell. They also offer installation of some products as well, so are more like a supply and install contractor in some circumstances.

Traditional businesses which have not adapted to the new way of doing business online have suffered and in some cases gone out of business, for example, House of Fraser.

So in terms of passive income, the only role in which you could expect to receive a good return would be as an investor, but the risks for such traditional businesses are high with increased competition in the marketplace.

passive streams of income ideas

Return On Investment

So how to reduce the risk?

Franchises are a business model with less risk than a completely new startup because the model has already been created and proven to be successful. A drawback is that to purchase the proven model and reduce your risk will cost you money paid to the franchisee. MacDonald’s franchises are expensive and you will not see a return on your investment for several years, depending on the location of the business and the level of trading. Some franchises can be run from home and do not necessarily need premises, but you need to carefully check out what you are actually buying with the franchise system which you have chosen.

Remember that for any business to work, you need customers, so no matter how much you spend on the franchise, how will you get sales? From where do you get customers? How to convert prospects into sales? How much effort will that take, ie how much of your time will you need to spend on this? Is this really passive income? Is it what I want to do?

Within the Investment Business category we would include:

  • Stocks and Shares and Options Trading (including commodities)
  • Cryptocurrency Trading
  • Property Investment

Each one of the above categories needs a much more detailed explanation so as to see which one or more may suit your particular circumstances and financial capability.

Internet Business

Here are a few passive streams of income ideas which relate to Internet Business

passive streams of income ideas

passive-income-online

Sale of Digital Products For Which You Own the Private Reselling Rights

Some of them relate to the selling of digital or educational products, either your own or selling e-products produced by others, under Private Reselling Rights.

An example of a system selling digital products is PRIMO3. If you want to see the OMS review of PRIMO3 then go here.

The main other ways of generating passive income online are listed below:

Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate Marketing can produce good passive income streams from different websites selling other people´s products or services. Affiliate marketers usually specialize in a particular niche or niches.

Goods can be sold on Amazon, Etsy, eBay, or Shopify, which are the most popular online stores.

Products can be sourced from such marketplaces as ClickBankCommission Junction, JV Zoo.

passive streams of income ideas

Often Affiliate Marketers use their own website and blogs to write reviews of products with links to those products and similar ones, from which they can earn a commission on each sale.

OMS has done a review of several affiliate marketing systems including Wealthy Affiliate, which is one system which we highly recommend. However, WA is not a get rich quick system, and in order to arrive at a position where you will receive passive income from the websites which you develop, you will have to invest a large amount of time.

If you want to see our review of Wealthy Affiliate, go here.

Small value sales will give relatively small value commissions, but high ticket sales can also produce high-level commissions. Once buyers trust a seller then they can be offered Up-sells which generate higher returns and profitability. You need to decide on your marketing strategy of what products or services to sell, and how to market such products.

E-commerce

passive streams of income ideas

e-commerce

Sale of Own Products Online

Some retailers have their own range of products which they produce or source and then sell to customers online. Sometimes these are traditional retailers who also have high street stores, but also offer online shopping to remain competitive with full online retailers. Examples of online sellers with retail high street presence would be John Lewis, Next, Selfridges or Harrods.

Drop shipping

Drop shipping is a supply chain management method in which the retailer does not keep goods in stock but instead transfers the customer orders and shipment details to either the manufacturer, another retailer, or a wholesaler, who then ships the goods directly to the customer. As in retail business, the majority of retailers make their profit on the difference between the wholesale and retail price, but some retailers earn an agreed percentage of the sales in commission, paid by the wholesaler to the retailer.

Drop shipping involves a Vendor selling products online, which orders are fulfilled by another company.

The seller only orders the product once he has received payment from the customer. The seller places the order with the drop shipping fulfilment company at a lower price, in order to make his margin.

The seller has to keep no stock or inventory, nor premises, so there are big overhead savings over a traditional business.

The dropshipping fulfilment company sends the product to the customer by airmail for quick delivery, or train or sea shipment. Sometimes these dropshipping fulfilment companies are based in China, but they could equally be based in any country including the USA. Examples of Chinese drop shipping companies are Alibaba or AliExpress.

OMS has reviewed a couple of drop shipping companies which are based on the Shopify platform.

If you want to look at the OMS review of ZeroUP, go here.

An example of a USA based drop shipping company would be TREX or Slingly, although there are many other systems out there.

If you want to look at the OMS review of TREX, go here.

If you want to look at the OMS review of Slingly, go here.

Multi-Level Marketing

MLM involves selling of products at different levels within a system or programme. An example of such a system would be The 4%, which OMS, has not yet reviewed.

In most circumstances, OMS would NOT recommend that you invest in an MLM business.

However, there are a few exceptions which we will advise on shortly once we have fully explored and tested them.

Share And OptionTrading

Additionally, there are other forms of business which rely on trading, such as the buying and selling of shares and options.

These systems can be used so as to generate relatively good levels of passive income. It is claimed to be able to start with relatively low levels of capital, although we have yet to fully try this out.

An example of a Share Trading System is Share And Options Trading Education from Sean Allison. For the OMS review of How To Open Your Trading account With Professional Options Trading Education Program using Sean Allison´s training system click here.

For the OMS review of The Wealth Trading Company, from Darren Winters click here.

CryptoCurrency Trading

Another means of achieving passive income is from trading in Cryptocurrency. There are a number of groups specializing in the buying and selling of cryptocurrency, such as Keys To Freedom.

We will shortly be publishing our  OMS review of Keys To Freedom.

Property Investment And Development

Property is a massive subject for consideration in relation to Passive Streams Of Income ideas but does usually demand that you have at least a proportion of the capital available to invest in the development which you are interested in. The Rule Of Thumb is that you need approximately 20% of the development cost, whether you are managing a large development or investing in property on a small scale.

We are aware that some people claim it is possible to use entirely other people´s money, but we are quite sceptical about the effectiveness and risks of such a strategy.

Your role in the Development process could be as:

Owner (of the site and the eventual development), which could be Freehold or leasehold for a fixed term of years.

Investor (in all or part of the development).

Some investors purchase only Freeholds of properties and do not

There are numerous franchises available in the property market, one of which is Platinum Property Partnership. Their financial model is based upon Houses of Multiple Occupation (HMO), and involve identifying properties in certain key locations, which have parking available and also which are near public transport. These properties may also be near such places of intense employment such as factories of large office complexes, Universities, Hospitals etc.

The identified house is purchased at a certain price level, which is factored depending on the anticipated rental income from each individual room available for rental.

The house is then refurbished and extended and upgraded to conform with the required Building Control and Fire Regulations.

Once the refurbishment is complete, the individual rooms are furnished to a suitable high standard and offered to young professionals to whom this standard of accommodation is targeted.

Rental agreements are prepared and signed by the landlord (you) and the tenant, on whom you will have taken up references before agreeing to rent them the room.

Another example of a successful property investor is Kevin Green.

Kevin Green´s success model is based on buying ¨Distressed Sales¨, ie those where the vendor is under some pressure. For example, there may be a charge on the property and the owner may be behind with payments, so is being pressurized by the bank to make all payments, or if the owner is unable to do so promptly the bank may threaten repossession.

Kevin Green specializes in doing deals under such circumstances, then refurbishing or improving the properties and selling them on at a profit.

Property is such a large subject area, we will publish separate reviews about these opportunities in due course.

Conclusion And Recommendation

From all of the passive streams of income ideas which are listed above, it is clear that depending on how closely you wish to be involved in each of the businesses, and in what role, there is potentially a lot of work involved in many of them. They can hardly be described as Passive Income.

So you need to choose carefully the business which suits you best, taking account of the amount of capital which you have available to invest, and also the amount of time which you are personally able to invest.

You need to be aware of how much money and time it will take to develop your business. You need to assess at what stage you will be able to make passive income from the business, and exactly what commitment will be required once that stage of development has been reached.

You also need to look at what options there are in the particular business model which you have chosen for an Exit Strategy. What will you do? Hold the business in perpetuity, and pass it to your heirs, as your legacy? Alternatively, do you plan to build the business up to a certain stage of success, and then sell the business as a going concern, so you bank the proceeds of the sale as your return on the investment which you have made to start and build up the business.

What Is Different About Wealthy Affiliate Compared With Other Systems and Software?

make money online writing

Shiny Object Syndrome

There are plenty of systems and offers of how to get rich quickly using their respective systems, fondly known as ¨Shiny Objects¨, which are available online.

Many of them involve various levels of UPSELLING, meaning that you subscribe at one level of price, but are quickly induced to spend more money on the next level of SHINY OBJECT SYNDROME so that you can ensure your success to the next higher level.

Some examples of other available training systems and software offers are present here on OMS, see our reviews of the following:

Morrison Academy, click here.

Affiliate Marketing Dude, Marcus Campbell, click here.

We do not recommend either of these systems as being superior in any way to Wealthy Affiliate.

There are too many systems out there to mention, but we have come across nothing which is close to the offer from Wealthy Affiliate.

Wealthy Affiliate costs are clearly transparent from the outset, and you can try it out for as long as you want for FREE.

No other system in the marketplace offers this level of FREE usage for trial!  You don´t even need a credit card to sign up!

There is only one level of WA membership other than the FREE membership which provides limited functionality.

So there are NO UPSELLS WITH WA, which is a common feature of much other training and online marketing systems on the marketplace.

OMS Review Of Making Money In Online Business

Introduction To Making Money In Online Business

Making Money In Online Business

The Customer Purchase Lifecycle

The first step in the cycle is to identify a need for something, a product or a service, which will solve a problem for a purchaser, and save them either time or money, or risk. This is a fundamental step to understanding making money in online business.

make money in online business

the-customer-purchase-lifecycle

What Is Your Niche Market?

You need to decide what niche you are in, that is who is your audience, or customers. What demand are you going to try to satisfy?

Some people choose a passion of theirs, such as a hobby or a sport they may be interested in. Whereas other people choose to solve problems such as weight loss for women, or hair loss for either men or women, or both. You need to choose a market segment which is sufficiently narrow that you do not have too much competition. For example, Corgi dogs as a niche, as opposed to the market for dogs as a whole, which would have massive competition. Or maybe fretwork patterns as shown in the image below.

making money in online business

Fretwork Patterns

Products

So recognizing the need or problem to be solved within your niche, or by your target audience, you will need to offer solutions to purchasers in order to achieve success for yourself, ie to conclude sales.

There are many sources of products and services which you can access and use (in addition to making or providing your own products and services) in order to make a good offer to solve the problem of your customers. Some of the sources available for affiliate products are as follows:

  • Amazon Associates
  • ClickBank
  • Commission Junction
  • LinkShare
  • Fiverr (for services)

Affiliate marketing is a popular low-risk type of business model, where the introducer of the buyer receives a commission from the seller or party who fulfils the order.

E-commerce

There are many models involving drop-shipping where the seller of the product does not fulfil the order themselves. The seller places an order with the drop shipper or fulfilment company who may be in a different country, such as China. Alibaba and Ali Express are well known and successful drop shipping companies with a massive range of products available.

The products which you offer will need to satisfy the demands of purchasers, solve their problems, help them in order to be successful.

Therefore you need to choose carefully which products you choose to offer and from where to source them.

You can create your own products and services to suit your niche.

make money in online business

products

Customer Comprehension

There are many known facts about the typical behaviour of customers and the processes which they employ prior to making a purchase, either online or offline.

1) Customers rarely buy upon the first contact with a product or a seller.

2) It typically takes seven times contact from the first encounter to concluding a purchase, including the research phase, familiarity and information gathering, comparison then finally purchase from a trusted seller.

3) Purchasers do not buy from sellers they do not trust.

4) Purchasers exchange money for something which they believe will solve a problem for them.

5) Customers have far greater access to information and reviews and feedback about products that has ever been the case before, so they are better-informed purchasers.

6) Customers see through scammy products and will not buy from sellers who offer these.

Consider your own process for identifying and evaluating a product before purchase and imagine that many people will follow similar processes before they decide to purchase a particular product, and then the process for identifying the supplier from whom to purchase the product.

Traffic

Once you have relevant traffic, you have all the potential in the world to earn money from sales.

You can get traffic from a number of sources:

  • Social Media – eg Facebook ads,
  • YouTube
  • Google Ads
  • Bing Ads
  • Yahoo Ads
  • Pay Per Click
  • Pay Per Transaction

Ideally, you would want Free Traffic, but that may not be sufficient volume to achieve sales quickly enough.

Therefore many providers pay for Ads and drive traffic to their websites.

Amazon has a massive pool of potential buyers who are primed and ready to buy, so in many ways, it is an ideal marketplace, but on the other hand, there is a massive amount of competition, so prices will tend to be lower.

Pricing

Customers have a perceived value about what they are prepared to pay for a product, depending on how they like to receive that product. For example, shoes may be preferred to be bought traditionally from High Street stores by some buyers, because they want to ensure the comfort and fit of the shoes.

Other buyers may be quite happy to receive something through the post by ordering online if they think that there is no risk, and they trust the seller. Especially if they have the right to return the goods if they are not satisfied for any reason.

Some customers may be prepared to pay more if they perceive there is added value from certain sellers, for example, no quibble money back guarantee, or servicing and repairs are provided.

OMS Conclusion And Recommendation

Making money in online business is not as straightforward as many people originally anticipated.

There is a complex process of interaction and understanding between the purchaser and the seller. The purchaser has multiple choices at every stage of the transaction, and can easily be put off from buying from you at any stage of the process between introduction (or visit) and eventual purchase.

You need to establish a relationship with your prospective purchaser in order to build trust so that they would eventually buy from you, even if this may take up to seven visits before a purchaser is satisfied and has an intent to purchase from you.

In order to fully understand the Customer Purchase Lifecycle, and how to make money in online business, you may need further training, if you are not already fully aware of the process and all the variables and complex factors which contribute to it.

Choosing A Niche for Your Blog On Your Website

Introduction

When considering choosing a niche for your blog, you need to consider a Niche which you are interested in and which you know about and enjoy writing about. This is because you will need to write content or articles (posts) about the Niche subject which you choose, as an Affiliate Marketer.

 

How To Choose The Perfect Niche For Your Blog In 2018 | Blogging …

UPDATED: Don’t fall into the trap most bloggers do. Don’t waste time & money. Learn how to choose the perfect niche for your blog.

Sometimes it can be difficult to choose, so it may be better to decide on something which you have a passion for as you will be investing a lot of time developing content about your niche.

What Are Your Choices For A Niche?

See the following reference for more brainstorming ideas for choosing your niche for your blog.

 

Blogging Basics 101: Choosing a Blogging Niche

Finding the Right Niche for Your Blog (Plus 21 Blog Niche Ideas)

Apr 5, 2017 Choosing the right niche for your blog is critical to its popularity and profitability. In this guide, we’ll share how to find the best niche for your blog …

Choosing a niche for your blog could be almost any subject imaginable, provided that it satisfies the following criteria:

1) It must be a subject which is of interest to people, an audience because these are the potential customers for your product or service.

2) It must be legal.

3) The subject must not be too broad, otherwise, the subject will not be of sufficient focus for your audience, and it will be difficult to promote because the audience is potentially too large, and there is too much competition.

choosing a niche for your blog

What Is Your Niche?

For example, Health is a subject which is too broad for a niche. There is too big a potential audience size, so we need to narrow things down to Men´s Health, or Women´s Health, or Healthy Diet, or Exercise for Health, which can be again broken down by gender or category, or by country or area.

Here are some examples of Niches which may help you when trying to find inspiration, but this is by no means a completely exhaustive list, it is just for illustration:

To market your products and services online in 2018 is becoming more and more complex. Purchasers are becoming more and more discerning, and are better informed than ever.

OMS Review of ZeroUp Shopify System- Updated Sep 2019

Introduction to ZeroUp Shopify System

ZeroUp is an online marketing software Shopify System marketed by Fred Lam, and which claims to offer a means to achieve a very profitable online Shopify business. Fred Lam has himself achieved great success with Shopify and as a result of this can offer Zero Up subscribers some Shopify benefits, because of his close relationship with them.

Fred Lam describes his system as follows:

“ZeroUp™ is a powerful and comprehensive all-in-one e-commerce software to help you build, grow, and scale your business online. It is intelligently designed to help anyone, even those with little prior experience or technical skills to create a flow-blown online store and sales funnel with just a few clicks of the mouse.”

Shopify System

Fred Lam Owner ZeroUp

ZeroUp requires a subscriber to have a Shopify store and domain, which it can be imposed upon. It also requires a subscriber to be connected to Ali Express, and also to be connected to Facebook Ads. With all these features installed than ZeroUp should work smoothly.

ZeroUp offers a full training and support Shopify System to subscribers which they must follow in order to achieve success according to Fred Lam´s claims for massive revenue and profits.

 

ZeroUp has introduced (in November 2017) a product line of jewellery called ShineOn which is a line of US manufactured jewellery similar in concept and quality to Department Store range but at more advantageous prices. There is no additional payment or commission payable to ZeroUp for this facility.

Shopify System

ZeroUp Jewellery ShineOn

Main features of ZeroUp Shopify System are as follows:

  •  ZeroUp is a Cloud-Based Software System, which requires No Download Or Installation.
  • ZeroUp is fully Integrated With AliExpress which provides a subscriber access to millions of its products.
  • ZeroUp offers in addition to full integration with AliExpress to automatically fulfil and tracking product orders.
  • ZeroUp is fully integrated with Shopify.
  • ZeroUp includes 10 Pre-Designed Themes & 180 Pre-Built Stores which are suitable for any niche.
  • ZeroUp claims to be able to start within 5 minutes – Just follow our 1, 2, 3 processes and start generating leads from the multi-billion giant.
  •  ZeroUp claims to have a one-click profit multiplier which enables a subscriber to boost their average value per sale.
  • ZeroUp claims to be synchronised with more than 11 email Auto-responders.
  • ZeroUp claims to have a ” Plus List Segmentation” feature designed to promote relevant offers.
  • ZeroUp offers their own built-in Landing Page & Funnel Builder which offers Drag & Drop functionality in order to design your own strategy sales funnel.

How Does ZeroUp Work?

There were some problems with the rollout of the ZeroUp software system, and they had to implement an upgrade which was quite disruptive to users, all now resolved.

The Menu structure is shown in the diagram below, and Product Engine controls Products, advertisements, Orders and Re-stocking.

Training and Support

ZeroUp offers weekly training webinars, which started on 26th October 2017, and subscribers follow each week’s training with Fred Lam personally doing the presentations to his subscribers. Occasionally Fred Lam invites guest speakers to make presentations to his audience.

  7. Exercise and Fitness
  8. Games and Toys

  18. Storage and Organisation
  19. Survival
  20. Travel
  21. Women´s Clothing and Accessories
  22. Women´s Jewellery

OMS Conclusion and Recommendation

From initial testing and usage, OMS has yet to be convinced that ZeroUp provides all of the features and functionality which it claims to offer. Certainly, we are sceptical whether the fast implementation and results which are claimed by Fred Lam are achievable.

Recently we noticed that Fred Lam has teamed up with Robert Kyosaki and is offering a ZeroUp elite training under the company name Lurn. We have not tried this out but are a little apprehensive about the method of selling this product. You are encouraged to give information about yourself and agree to be open for an invitation to join a condensed 4-day training with Fred Lam, but the price is not specified up front. You receive a personal telephone call with your invitation, if you are a ¨chosen one¨then are hit with the cost of the training.

What you are offered is very intensive 4-day training with Fred Lam personally, so maybe that will make all the difference to whether you will be successful or not.
