Is Business in a Box Worth Your Time?
When I got an email promising me training from an Internet Millionaire Shawn Casey, I was intrigued. In the email it basically said he was giving away this business in a box for free because it is the "right thing to do". Powerful words to a nation of people in dire financial crisis who are looking for miracle ways to stabilize. This guy does know who to target in today's economic climate, that's for sure.
Anyway, reading on he says he was "dared" to give this business in a box away to 250 people on Thanksgiving Day. It makes it seem that he is a true benefactor. Alas, let's look at this "offer" in a more cynical way. The guy didn't make money by giving out stuff without getting something back. Which is the angle with this type of advertising. He gives you the business in a box for free, but you pay about 27.00 for the business system. There is also the bonus, and I'm being sarcastic here, of membership in Easy Profit Strategies Club. That will cost you 39.99 a month. Hmm....and it's billed automatically... but you can cancel anytime easily. Automatically billing you for the privilege of getting expert advice and resources is an easy profit strategy for the maker of the system not for you.
What is this type of business system basically? The same thing you are looking at on the web page. It is digital training videos and audios that you in turn sell online. I don't know about you, but once you've been hooked into the idea, you generally end up trying at making a go of it for a few months before you realize there isn't really any money in it and you've blown a lot more than you initially paid trying to make it work. By that time, unless you have made a special point of noting down exactly what the process is for canceling or getting your money back, you may be hooped.
With most "business systems" online, there is generally one thing you are buying and that is the right to sell the web page ad you are seeing. It is a mirror site, and thousands of other people will have the exact same thing with the exception of the code that identifies individual affiliates.
Although this one is relatively inexpensive to begin with, you will find that costs occur trying to get your site traffic. You will either have to pay to advertise or write quasi info on forums and blogs to get attention to your affiliate site ( these posts are pretty obvious in that the rave "review" of the business and the handy link to your affiliate page can only mean you are selling the system). Add to this that you are competing with many other people with the same exact site and techniques to sell it and your chances of making money go way down. Only a very small percentage of people in business system programs make any money at all. The majority lose money.
Is the extra information and video training worth the money? Not from where I sit. You can find everything you need to know about building a web business by searching Google for web tools and information. There are blogs devoted to improving traffic and SEO knowledge. Check them out and you'll learn a lot.
My opinion: Don't bother with this. There has been some comments on trouble with getting your money back and the product quality. To view these comments go to:
