I am very confident in the abilities of all those who coached me.There were actually quite a few who helped me and some who were truly outstanding. My first coaches were Joshua and Ryan,and they were both very easy to talk to and both were great when it came to answering my many questions.My two most recent coaches were Andrew and Erika . Andrew is very much oriented to the technical minute that can make or break a site,but is also very human,and not above calling a student personally to make sure they got a concept or task correct. Erika also demonstrated great insight into people and their motivations and desires. I used several of the insights she shared with me on my site. Most of the obstacles I encountered were of a technical nature, such as adding links and repairing some of the pages on my site.Sparkbuilder is a great builder,but they need live chat to answer some of the Questions specific to the builder. Just getting a site that is mine on the internet was an enormous success. Making money with that same site would, however, would also be extremely cool. Work hard and listen to your coaches, they know what they are talking about.

Very Satisfied!
I am very satisfied with Andrews help this evening. Andrew took the time to explain to me how and what I needed to do to to get past the point where I was stuck. I think my experience talking with Andrew this evening has been my biggest success this far because it was the most difficult step for me to this point. Listen to your coach and try to follow directions as closely as possible - ask the right questions.

I am Proud
I thought it was very rewarding learning how to build my own website. I am pleased to say that I am proud of the site myself. The coaches were instrumental in putting it all together with the help of Tech support. There were only a few obstacles to overcome such as nailing down just the right drop shipper, and feeling comfortable with the builder, but even these weren't that bad. Once you begin, devote at least 2-3 hrs/day to your site completion. If you miss a day then make up for it by doing 3-5 hrs the next day. You have to have your site up before you are moved to the reactive phase. There are just to many questions you'll have for "live chat" to be effective.

VERY HELPFUL
The coaches were very helpful. I knew NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING at the beginning of the project - as a result it took me forever to do little steps - at times i found it overwhelming and doubted my decision to work on this. I'm still way behind where i know i should be but each step the coaches were very patient and helped me baby step through it. Learning how to change picture size was a stress to figure out (shows how much i knew)
Time is a problem for us - we don't have all day to donate to the project and some weeks we don't have any time, so I've tried to work at weird hours to just get at it... the new set up is much improved and much easier to self-teach. I feel that if i can figure this out, anyone can - not that I'm done yet or anything! just getting going on the marketing phase next.....

Help and Patience
I had no experience whatsoever when I decided to start on online business, but with the help and patience of the coaches and support team, I have a website I can be proud of and the knowledge to do it again. Thanks so much to you. Starting my own business was scary, with many unknowns, but with the encouragement of the Team, I can now see what success looks like. Stay in close contact with your coach and the support team. If you tell the representatives of any problems you are having, they will help provide solutions. If you don't tell them, the can't help. Communication is the key.

Very Rewarding Experience
Very rewarding experience.With the help and patience of my coaches,I created something of which I am very proud.I am the owner and inventor of a very slick-looking website. The coaches were great,offering insight and encouragement all the time. They goaded me into accomplishing something better than I thought possible and even called me personally when it was needed. The main obstacle I overcame was my lack of computer knowledge.I also learned a great deal about e-mailing back and forth.For myself, these were major obstacles. My advice to future students would be to listen to their coaches and don't be afraid to ask questions, even if they feel dumb when asking them. Never, ever did any of my coaches ever speak down to me or ask why I did not know what I was doing .

Equal to College Education
All of the tutorials and the written information are equal to getting a college education in eBay. There is so much information I'm having go back over all of it multiple times to get it all. My Coach Tyson is making sure I'm understanding what I'm learning and getting the actual steps done on eBay. For me so far, every thing I've learned has been an obstacle overcome. I really didn't know anything about E-bay two weeks ago and honestly didn't care. I've heard many stories of people making money on E-bay but I didn't see it as being something I wanted to pursue. Now two short weeks later I'm selling and buying stuff. I admit it's not rocket science but I wouldn't have done it without taking this course and applying the information I've learned. For which I am very thankful. JUST DO IT. The tutorials and the written information and the fact that you have a person to take you by the hand and get you through it, you can't fail. The only option you have if you take the action is to succeed. It's fun, I've bought one thing on eBay years ago and never really looked at eBay again until I started this course. I'm having fun learning what to do and how to do it. It is so much better to have someone teach what to do than it is to figure it out on your own. I'm planning on spending a lot of time selling on eBay. I've got many more personal things to sell and Tyson has shown me drop shipping sites to find more things to sell. It has been a very good experience to learn how to sell correctly.

Nothing but Positive
Without them pointing me in the right direction I would not have even known where or how to start. They allowed me to view their ads to get a better idea of how to make mine better. They told me where to look for what I need each week to continue. The biggest obstacle of all for me is fear. Not knowing how to do something and therefore doing nothing!!! With the help of my coaches I know I can do this. Just go for it!! The coaches and the material you get with the program make it easier and fun to learn how to build your business. Pay attention, take notes and follow instructions and you can do it. So far my experience has been nothing but positive. I am excited to continue each day knowing if I have any questions or problems I have some one to ask that will have the answers that will really help

Great Coaching!!!
Great coaching. Reviews my things quickly and gives positive feedback on what I have done right and suggestions on what I should fix and work on in future ads. Learning what keywords to use when selling an item and how to put the ads together to make them organized and effective. Stick with it. It gets frustrating at times, but will be worth all of your time and effort. Great so far. Some of the editing of my items should be a little easier but overall very good.

Very Helpful
He has given us encouragement and advice by helping us through the program. His advice and help has been very helpful. The process of selling on eBay is not as difficult as it appears at first. With practice and experience you can be successful. The obstacles I have have been learning the listing process, the shipping and service processes and using PayPal for handling payments. Invoicing and just running a business have been challenging but are being managed at this point. With experience we will be able to increase our volume and our income while keeping excellent customer service. Practice, practice, practice. Keep listing items and going through all of the processes. You will get better at it and it will become automatic after awhile. Also you will later learn how to make some of the processes more automatic through other computer programs and more advanced techniques. I think it has been a very positive experience so far. It appears that with the right motivation and work you can make a good living at this.
