Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Innovative Business Model:
- Embrace the reality of a genuine business! Our strategy involves orchestrating a group purchase, wherein we collectively distribute costs among members. Utilizing these pooled funds, we acquire in-demand courses from sales pages and make them accessible to individuals facing financial constraints. Despite potential reservations from the original authors, our customers value the affordability and accessibility we offer.
2. The Legal Landscape: Yes and No:
- The legality of our operations resides in a gray area. While we lack explicit approval from course authors for resale, a legal nuance comes into play. During the course acquisition, the author did not specify any restrictions on resale. This legal intricacy presents both an opportunity for us and a benefit for those seeking budget-friendly access.
3. Quality Assurance: Revealing the Real Deal:
- Delving into the core of the matter – quality. Procuring the course directly from the sales page ensures that all documents and materials are identical to those obtained through conventional means. However, our differentiator lies in going beyond individual study; we take an extra step by facilitating resale. It’s crucial to note that we are not the official course providers, which means certain premium services are not included in our package:
- No coaching calls or scheduled sessions with the author.
- No access to the author’s private Facebook group or web portal.
- No entry to the author’s exclusive membership forum.
- No direct email support from the author or their team.
We operate independently, aiming to bridge the affordability gap without the additional services offered by official course channels. We greatly appreciate your understanding of our unique approach.
