Get Your Business Questions Answered

I’m proud to announce the launch of my brand new site called Instant Business Answers.

It’s been a project that has been underway for quite some time and I couldn’t be more excited now that it’s launched.

The target market is small business owners and solo entrepreneurs who are looking for some personal guidance in the area of marketing, specifically online marketing.

The real “hook” is the fact that although you get a lot of personal consulting, you won’t have the expense that this type of consulting usually brings.

Here is the back story on how this came to be…


Three years ago, Alex Mandossian asked me to support all of his Teleseminar Secrets students by providing them personal consulting (his students paid $1997 for his course so he wanted to provide a lot of support).  We did this in the form of weekly group calls.

During those calls I went back and forth with each of the students helping them implement his material as well as providing them insights regarding their online strategy and tactics.

Inevitably people always encountered some “technical” questions and I would help answer those as well.

Long-story short, these strategy and support sessions became wildly popular and it wasn’t unusual for me to be on the phone for upwards of 3 hours helping people make massive progress in their business.

Sometimes it’s just easier to get answers on the phone - you know what I mean?

Anyway, it didn’t occur to me until this year when one of Alex’s students suggested that I turn these group consultations into a monthly service and make it available to the general public.

That’s when the idea for Instant Business Answers was born, and now many months later it’s ready to launch!

I’ll admit, I struggled with the price point for this because my consulting fees are probably out of reach for most small business owners.  In fact, I have two clients on retainer and each of them are paying $3,000/month and $4,500/month respectively.

So after a lot of thought I decided to price it at $97/month and I was going to do a special price for the first 100 people at $47/month.

However, since this is my anniversary week, I decided to kick this off with a bang and I’m going to offer it for $27/month until the end of the week.

The cool part is, when I do raise the price to $97/month, everyone who purchased during the anniversary sale will be grandfathered in at the $27/month for as long as they are a member :)

So even though others will be paying $97/month, your price will remain at $27/month.

Pretty nice eh?

There are a lot of other benefits as well and I recommend you take a look at the full letter.  You can find it here:

Looking forward to supporting you in your business growth!

Stu just signed up for the IBA membership, like I’ve said before, yourself and Russ have a follower for life after that Dallas Incubator. All the information that the IBA provides is outstanding and the $27 dollar a month anniversary was a steal, appreciate you being married! Have a good one.

That’s an excellent idea and a great price! I just started my own VA business earlier this year and while there’s a ton of information out there, its always hard to decide which ones are worth paying for and finding programs or tools that are reasonably priced. I’ve been relying on free resources like VANetworking.com (http://www.vanetworking.com) which has a free membership, and blogs like Lynn Terry’s and Alice Seba’s to get the support and information to help me market my business on a very small budget.

@April - glad to hear you are building a successful business. I like Alice a lot and she always produces very good content.

Building a business can be tough in the beginning - just because there is such a learning curve. However, the good news is, most people are a lot closer to “making it” than they realize. Sometimes all you need is a nudge in the right direction and someone to answer those naggy questions that hold you back. That’s exactly why I created Instant Business Answers - hopefully I’ll hear you on the next IBA call.

Take care.
