Hi Eben,
Your new Ignition program indeed looks like it will be a very efficient & effective program. This course is definitely needed in our present economic environment, since most people right now are wanting to start their own business online right now.
To Your Success,

It sounds like you're trying to cover a lot of material in a matter of only 2-3 days. How in depth are you going to go into each segment considering the time limitation?
Are you going to focus only on business models as general theory? How technical will the seminar be?
Thank you

You've pretty much got it covered, I'd say! Including the wealth creation. And even though I know a fair bit about both the theory and practice of some of the areas you're covering, I would be very interested in signing up to get the full overview. As a Wake Up Productive graduate, I know you're an amazing trainer and this will be an amazing package.

eben, you are the man , i have been through much of altitude , but i need this ignition program so badly. i am so overwhelmed by probably nothing , just the fact that it is all new to me. i soo look foward to going through this program with you , i know you will work and work till we understand everything . just makee sure you cover how to make and get these web sites up and running , or even start your own niche biz that will create the web sites for us beginners , as soon as anyone starts making a few bucks they ofcourse will pay more and more to get this type of work done , p, doug smith

Sounds very thorough, but if I heard you correctly the course would be covered over a single weekend? Sounds like a lot of material to cover in a weekend. Heads could explode!

It's a good initiative... I'm from Romania, and romanian mentality it's a little bit old. We don't have the know-how on online marketing, direct marketing.
If you start this program, you'll have a big success, because many people don't know a lot of things.
I'll wait this!!!

I think this new beginner's program sounds like a wonderful idea. I have always been interested in learning how to operate my own online business. I think that it would be nice if you could include a section on how to find products to sell or how to create a product to sell, what are the steps involved because I am very interested in having an online business but I don't have a product to sell or know how to create one. I think a reasonable price for this program would be 297. The other thing you were talking about on the program about wealth sounds very interesting.
Posted by: Luis | 5:09 PM
Hi Eben,
This sound like a your about to hit a home run. One of the biggest barriers newbies have is the price of these courses. So a reasonably priced course and payment plan via paypal would be a big plus. really like the additional module about the attitudes toward money and wealth building.
Thanks again,
Rich

Eban, there are millions of us that are involved in network (multi-level) marketing. Marketing as it pertains to that would be a valuable thing to add unless you think the affiliate marketing aspects would cover it. Thanks, Tim

hello,
your program outline sounds pretty solid to me which doesn't surprise me for you must have really thought this through obviously.
but i would like to suggest you ad a module which deals with describing which of the so-called guru tools are best in class and best to invest in ie. i'm being bombarded by (often)"one time" offers for 'fabulous'software to do all sorts of things and obviously help you to make a lot of money fast.
stuff like ppc classroom, google cash detective, mass control, the automatic wealth institiute course , butterfly marketing, etc etc
i am sure i'm not the only fairly smart guy getting somewhat (!) confused about what to chose and what to use in what order (so to speak)
as for ignition, I would like to suggest you set up some really smart pricing model so that newbies can afford to join.
thx
best regards

It sounds great i have bean looking for years myself,i have started programs procrastinated i feel i want to do it and then fall off is it my desire i ask my self is it a mind problem,hope you can help,yours faithfully garry.
Posted by: garry | 5:37 PM
Hi Eban,From my own experience,its seems things havn't changed that much over the years. Yes there is a stack more free info. But when you decide its what you want to do, there is no common place in which to go to get the truth, and the truth is far from the masses of hyped up, make a fortune overnight crap that fills the web. You are tempted to buy into so called fully automated programs that you fail through ignorance. Some quit and others flit to others they think will work and quit later. Few will push the mindset it takes to conquer problems. I have noticed a sudden rise in the availability of training. Having a mentor is paramount, finding a good one is tough unless you have money.
It took me months to realize my own way forward and do the right things.
What you offer sounds really good. But I think you need to get people into an earning situation (however small) asap to sweeten the process.
Instilling belief into the majority is always tough. Technical issues are frightening until you find out that they can be overcome.
Good luck with it. I know you will have massive success if you do it right.
Posted by: Fred Raybould | 5:47 PM
Eben, The program looks to be very comprehensive. I would hope you would include lots urls or links to internet sites showing examples of people actually selling successful products and doing what your are talking about. When I check the products I read about in books, often they are out of business.
Posted by: Patricia Kellner | 5:53 PM
This would solve some of my needs as a newbie starting out in the Internet Marketing Industry.
Content seems very intuitive, and teh bonus modules on Wealth is a great idea! Pricing would have to be very reasonable, at least for me to take part in this. I like your approach of giving tons of value, instead of pushing marketing tactics after marketing tactics, once you sign up for a few newsletters on the subject you realize the tricks being used on YOU! And one of the things I like about you and your products is that I don't get that feeling of being pushed, or tricked into anything. Of course you are a great marketer (that's why I want to learn from you) but that would be meaningless if you had NO integrity and sincere desire to help us grow.
Posted by: Cam | 5:57 PM
Right on track Eben.
Agree with wealth creation work and can you make it non-hype and real as you do so well.

Hello Eben,
I absolutely think you are planning a winner course. The usual hallmark quality of your productions should make the course very popular. your treatment of different business plans should make it interesting and unique. Your idea about supplimenting the the course with more training and information on the psychology of building wealth and accumulating and managing money is a phenominal idea and something that is absolutely needed in this country. I will say that most of the products that you have offered in the past are on the high end and out of my range of affordability, although, I do believe that you will be successful and profitable no matter how you price it.
Wishing for you much success,
Tim

Hi, Eben!
I'm not sure that Ignition is for me, since I'm really focused on information product marketing and have 1 year of Guru Mastermind training under my belt, but it sounds like a great product.
You've totally nailed the emotional state of overwhelm, confusion and frustration that we feel at the prospect of embarking on this internet business journey. I see a huge need for this right now.
A few comments:
- I love the idea of adding the psychology of wealth to the training. In my experience it's always the psychological principles and inner game insights that yield the most results long term. Do it!
- My husband has some experience with Ebay and suggests that it might not be the best business model to propose for newbies. The profit margin has been shrinking and it's sort of "played out." This is according to the other half's infinite wisdom, of course. GRAIN OF SALT.
- I am definitely interested in learning more about using social networking and affiliate sales models.
- I'd also suggest that you come up with a segment that helps newbies pick the best model for them.
Take care and good luck with your new venture!

Posted by: Stephanie | 6:14 PM
Sounds like a great program. However, I'm wondering whether it really addresses one of the primary roadblocks for getting started, which is not knowing where to start. After going through the program, you would now know 10+ business models and how they work. However, how do you pick the best model for you and how do you pick the niche/product that you want to start with? This especially applies to those of us that don't have a particular expertise that would be a natural fit.
Posted by: Mike | 6:16 PM
Hi Eben. This sounds excellent and i would very much like to get involved with it, depending on the price, is, how practical this can be. I have already got involved with other business courses and the amount of time you need to set them and learn them is, as i have seen way beyond what most people have.. and you end up knowing lots of things that you can not put to work, with limited mentoring..
I'd like to know your thoughts further. Thank you again. I am located in Orlando, Fl.

Posted by: carlos | 6:17 PM
Sounds great!
I wish yours could have been the first online course I would have started with because it sounds like this sets us up with a good foundation.
I already have an email list and shopping cart and website, but really want to learn more about setting up Ebay and Amazon affiliate business. Would also love to hear your input on running an online ecommerce store and buying whole sale.
If only I could pick and choose the parts of the course that would be most beneficial rather than paying full price for the course to get 25% of it.
Posted by: Chris Marx | 6:20 PM
Hi Eban,
Thanks for the opportunity to learn in a sequential manner. There are so many bits and pieces out there, but no one has done a 1st step, 2nd step, etc. Really needed--appreciate you.
Suzan
Posted by: Suzan | 6:29 PM
Here are some thoughts.
I like many other people am a very visual person. I would love to see colorful process flow charts and checklists. Lists and visuals that I can print out and refer to before, during and after the training.
I want to have the big picture of the process in my mind on autopilot, so I can focus on being creative and relationship building and overall collaborations etc.
Project breakdown that with dates for milestones and things that need to be accomplished before other things etc.

Posted by: Bill | 6:35 PM
I just wanted to say that the program sounds great. I'd love to see you do a course on building wealth.
Posted by: Rocky | 6:35 PM
Hi,
I have been trying for many years to start an online business. I bought a lot of products from the Internet Marketing Center (Corey Rudl & Derek Gehl) and I have learned a lot but uptil now I have created one business that is earning me appr. $ 4000/month but I haven't been able to create the real wealth. Can you help me succeed in this with this course?
Thanks
Jan
Posted by: Jan Metten | 6:43 PM
Hi Eben,
I think you've covered most of the topics that one would need to really get the business from nothing to getting started. I have a concern though, it was almost a sting to me when I missed out on the GuruMastermind Program last year because I'm located outside the U.S. Is there any chance for a person like me?
Posted by: Yatin | 6:57 PM
Hi Eban,
This sounds like a great idea. I have been mulling over how and where to begin for about a year now and overwhelmed with information would be an understatement. What I notice is when I do purchase something, I find ways to be too busy to take time and move along with it. What I was wondering if a training program could be devised where you would have a set contact to go thru lessons or techniques in a very specific fashion that a confused and overwhelmed newbee would have to commit to in order to complete his or her training. Giving the student a deeper sense of accountability. To hear and see your instructor and be able to bounce back and forth with them during the learning process would be something that would work better with me I think. Your content you reviewed is astounding and if you can pull it off it would be a God send. Plaese don't think I am a person who can't commit. When I set my mind to it I am more committed than most. I have been married loayally for 20 years. I went on a health kick and quit drinking 4 years ago then lost 75 pounds in about a year. Started to run and now run about 3 miles 5 times a week. I could not do that unless I dropped the nastuy smoking habit I had for over 30 years so I quit last year. There are many other things I have committed to as well. While people are losing jobs I am working 2 at about 60 hours a week to give my family some security and develop some savings plans. I just need to be able to find something I can trust. Unfortunately I have been screwed a couple of times and am a little jaded when it comes to doing something on the internet, but given the right circumstances I would and could be a success. I just need a good starting point to gain a little confidence and have that followed up with a good swift kick in the butt maybe. LOL
I will check into this and it sounds like I should give the Ignition program some serious thought.
Best regards,
Frank

Hi Eben,
I like the outline of your course so far. My main worry is the technical aspect of setting up a website. I have been studying HTML and CSS on my own, but am having trouble choosing a hosting company and worrying about how to design the website. I'm hoping your course will really help those who are not tech-savvy. Also, I am disabled and on a fixed (low) income, so I'm hoping this course is affordable for me. I want to get out of this low-income rut and make money providing value to people in my career field. Thanks again!
Posted by: Barb | 7:06 PM
If the psychology of wealth program is anything like the call you did with Frank Kern (which I somehow missed the first time and just listened to a couple of nights ago), I'm all for it. (Do we get free absinthe? lol) That was some incredible information that I'm making use of right now.
Thanks,
Brian
Posted by: Brian | 7:06 PM
It does sound interesting and I have appreciated your sincerity in the many videos I've seen. Of course I'm one of those who have been "thinking" about starting for a long time. Hmm. Sounds familiar...
A lot of the transition from thinking to doing really is about psychology (my wife's a therapist and you can see how even I struggle with this). Some of the other comments about being inundated with information being pushed at us, the various methods, what will be the ultimate investment in time and $$ you will have to commit to really be succussful-- these are all fear-based and probably hold 90% of us hostage. So the simpler you can make this and the more linear you can illustrate the progression, the better.
Thanks,
Ed
Posted by: Ed | 7:08 PM
Hey Eban
Dont know if you are reading this, but a REAL IMPORTANT factor that all internet marketing courses are leaving out, is how to manage and run ones internet business, what systems to have in place etc, goal setting, spreadsheets to keep track etc, any info on this would be greatly appreciated and know many others will gain alot from it.
Posted by: Morgan | 7:10 PM
E,
I have much of your DYD material and really appreciate your online sales letters.
I feel some keys/ basics or even sales letter writing templates would be EXTREMELY valuable as we put together our websites.
Your sales letters ROCK! So please share a bit of that for us...
Rome
Posted by: Rome | 7:11 PM
It seems like a very comprehensive program, almost too much for a newbie. However, you did mention that a new person would probably pick one area to start and go from there. I like the idea of showing someone step by step and I would hope that you might provide video as well as pdf because so many learn in different ways. I would also hope that you have a great support system or even a mentoring program. Finally in response to price I would just like to see a guarantee that supports the price.
Posted by: Dan | 7:16 PM
Hello Eben,
Thanks for all you do.
This sounds like a great program. The only thing that concerns me is the fact that the program is going to be done "live". If I miss a portion, will it be made available via recording? I can't see sitting at the computer all weekend and I'm only interested it certain portions. Now I know you well enought to know that you will be recording it, the question is will those recordings be made available to use, either by download or dvd? If so, I'm in. Thanks again Eben, your stuff is great.

This sounds like a very thorough course to get someone well on their way to a profitable internet business.
I have to reiterate what some others have said about making the course affordable. As you are covering a wide range of topics I imagine that it will be a fairly costly course. However, ensuring that their are a variety of payment options would be very helpful.
As can be seen from some other recent internet marketing launches that were "supposed to sell out in minutes or hours" and didn't, people are being cautious with their money and can use a little help with payment options.
I am looking forward to getting started with this program.
Thanks
Thanks
Posted by: Trevor | 7:35 PM
Fantastic! As you mentioned, there is so much out there, it's hard to narrow it down. This sounds like it would be great to help me focus and stay on track. I hope cost won't be a block for me :-)
Posted by: Brenda | 7:40 PM
Eben,
This sounds great man! My only question is: will the training from this live weekend seminar be available to refer back to after the seminar? Or will I have to get all the notes over the weekend seminar?
The course on attracting wealth is a great idea.
As far as attracting and keeping money one must have an understanding about how money works, etc. Kind of like the athletes/entertainers who lose fortunes and go broke. Nobody better than YOU to talk about this area.
Thanks Eben, this is the life vest a lot of people have been looking for. A lot of missing pieces in most of the courses out there.

Posted by: lonnie | 7:44 PM
Hi Eben, I think this course would be excellent. Right now Iam providing a service but would like to sell products. Iam very creative but am overwhelmed. Do not know where to begin and havent much money. My family thinks I am wasting my money and time. I would love to take this course and share my knowledge wth others later.
Posted by: Elvera | 7:47 PM
This is exactly what I've been waiting for you to do for at least the last 3 years! I'm really excited about this - only thing is, did I miss something? At the end of the video, you ask for feedback and you ask, "have i priced the program reasonably?", but I haven't heard or seen a price anywhere - like I said, did I miss something? Good lookin' out Deben DePagano! lol
Posted by: Edgar | 7:52 PM
Forgot to ask you this in my last post.
Do you cover email marketing at all in this course?
You're the best in the business at promoting other people's products as well as your own through email. Would like to learn this from you.
Thanks
Posted by: Anonymous | 7:53 PM
Eben,
This program that you propose has everything in it that I have been trying to learn from various sources. You have encapsulated everything that I need to know to grow my businesses.
I think the idea you have on wealth building & retaining the wealth is a very crucial part of becoming wealthy. And, I mean becoming wealthy in every area of your life. If you are not in harmony with receiving the abundances of life that are there to receive, you may get them, but chances are you won't retain them in the long term. You must have a mindset of knowing exactly what you want & then be ready to receive.
Marilyn
Posted by: Marilyn Imanse | 7:56 PM
This is very exciting! I know from experience that you put out the best programs, probably in the world.
So the thing I think that is missing is a MasterMind component. With the great information you teach, it would be a real shame for it to go unused when people don't have the right motivation.
I am definitely in for the Wealth Creation Part. In fact I would invest in that Program alone. I have started to read recently all kinds of books about this subject, and most of them were book that you recommended. So I would love to learn the bigger ideas and more broad concepts from you experience.
Really excited about the program,
Alex
Posted by: Alex | 8:10 PM
The orientation and psychology of wealth sections sound good.
I need basic knowledge and then I want to go directly to the information relevant to me for studying. There are so many models being offered that it sounds overwhelming. I'd like to know that I don't have to plod through everything to get the stuff I actually need. And I'd like to know that I won't end up missing something I really need, or go out of order to effectively build my business. Will there be a way to confidently map out the necessary components to get to the end goal of my choosing?
Posted by: Gay | 8:15 PM
Hello Eben! I am impressed with all that you are putting into this program! I do think it would be beneficial to have the section about the psychology of money. Our realtionship with money is influenced by so many things and we can even subconsciously prevent ourselves from being successful financially and not understand why. So yes, please add this!!
The other thing that I haven't heard you mention is how a newbie can start making some money RIGHT AWAY. Even while we are in the learning phase. This will make or break some of us who really want to do this business. In today's economy especially we are, now more than ever, limited on funds. Though you can get started without much money it does take some money to access valueable resources such as this learning program. We need one of the easiest business models shown to us from the VERY beginning so we can make money for our business AND to feed that psychological need of being successful.
Success breeds more success and if we can earn while we learn (that would be a good title for that module!!!) then it would lessen the frustration we have being overwhelmed.
I am EXCITED to see what you are bringing to the table and look forward to hearing more from you!
Thanks Eben! Teresa Driggers in South Carolina
Posted by: Teresa Driggers | 8:17 PM
Eben,
This sounds good. I took your Wake Up Productive training which I thought was helpful.
1. In this course, be sure and provide a workbook of sorts. A part physical product, as well as a video course would make the product more valuable. The more channels to learn from the better.
2. Also, knowing who will be teaching the modules before hand would be great.
I guess the main thing I don't want is to feel like I'm being upsold throughout the course. Provide both paid / low cost alternatives to each course of action. The barrier to many of us getting started is the cost involved. If we are going to pay good money for this course, let's make sure that we don't feel nickel and dimed along the way. It's not something that you've ever done before, but it is something that I resent about others. With all of these free offers going around (ie-Stompernet, Butterfly, Mass Control, PPC Classroom, etc.), many of the folks around the forums feel misled when the monthly fee hits later.
The key: price this reasonably + no upsells = customer loyalty
Thanks Eben,
Jim
Posted by: Jim | 8:19 PM
David,
The wealth creation program is GREAT. Also if you can teach us about e-mail marketing (E-newsletters). It would be great if you can give us some ideas about successful internet businesses.
Thanks.
Posted by: Joseph | 8:23 PM
Hey Eben,
Program sounds phenomenal. If you can, can you include OVERCOMING THE FEARS OF TAKING ACTION towards building a successful online business. I feel that's whats holding me back the most.
-Thanks
Posted by: Esteban | 8:34 PM
Hello again, Eben!
After reading some of the comments left by others I thought of a few more things and I wanted to say yes I agree to some of their ideas!
I too, feel the price needs to be low for us and I wanted to ask if you would give special introductory prices that are even lower for those of us that have helped with the ideas for the program? I also agree that having paypal as a payment option would be very beneficial to us.
Someone mentioned that they would like to see the initial live weekend training seminar be available for playback. I think this is an excellent suggestion and that it needs to always be available as there will be the need for many to see it again as well as for those that get started at a later date. So be sure and integrate that into the program itself!
Another thought is our family doesn't always understand why we put so many hours into this and about some of the costs involved - a section for them would be nice! Even if it just teaches us how to help them cope! They may not be able to see the potential in this that we do and having this in your program could help many households live a more peaceful existence during this learning phase before real profits are seen!! (Some of that psychology you were asking about!!!)
One last thought - a lot of newbies don't know how to do even the very basic of things and little training videos throughout would be helpful. Shawn Casey does an EXCELLENT job of sharing these videos on his site.
Thank you for your time and I wish you All The Best with your product launch!

Hello Eben
Thank you for giving information about your Ignition training program. All aspects of the program sound for me very interesting.
I have just set up a blog in WordPress. For this reason I would like to learn about top WordPress plugins. For example, what features they bring to website and how to set them up. Also I would like to know SEO, Page Rank and other this kind of things. How to increase traffic to your blog?
I like your idea to teach psychology of money. I think it is very important to know how to attract money and how to make money from money.
Once more thank you for comprehensive videos.

Posted by: Irina | 8:46 PM
Hi Eben,
Few comments,
1. One of the most important things is SUPPORT - If I have questions I need to address someone that will be able to answer quiet fast.
2. I'm not sure how long you are going to dedicate to each segment, how deep you are going to cover the different topics?
3. It could be nice to get "recommendations" about to what type of person/ what skill do you need in order to be successful in each segment.
4. Be specific about how much "out of pocket" do you need in order to start making money in each of the different venues.
5. It is a very good idea to have the material available on line - I hope that you will grant access any time I want to log on (I am a full time mom...and it is hard to be available in the "usual" time.
6. What is the price? I guess I missed it.
Good Luck!
Posted by: Bosmat | 9:00 PM
Love the ideas. But didn't hear the price. I think for beginners it's a good idea not to have it cost in the thousands.
Will there be recordings of everything if we can't attend the live events/webinars/teleseminars, etc...?
Posted by: RK Castillo | 9:08 PM
I am about to finish WUP and this would be a great next step. I really like your teaching style and inner game perspective on the nuts and bolts of business. Plus.. Focusing on wealth building principles is a must as I don't want more techniques nearly as much as the mindset of a no hype, high integrity internet millionaire.I have a business that has the potential to bring massive value to a lot of people in 30-90 days. I really think I can help them and I want the quality of my product and it's presentation to match yours.No Guru worship, it's just too many of your colleagues are hype monsters that are so full of b.s.
My only feedback/criticism is I think your brand is high value. When I see your email, I want to read it and know it will be high quality, no fluff usable stuff. My internet research burnout is mainly b/c of many gurus over kill of take away selling. I know it is effective, but this whole flow of launches and "your life will be over if you don't buy this on launch day" crap, (only to find it on ebay for less or bit torrent for free)the same day is a real turn off and makes me doubt what they say.. I buy your stuff from DYD (when I was in college) to WUP (as a happily married man, (who partly owes your dyd training to attracting my awesome wife) and now Ignition, because of your high integrity and the real results I get from using your stuff.
So long story short, keep being genuine b/c it totally separates you from the hype monsters and chode gurus.
Posted by: Marcus Gill | 9:18 PM
This program is something I have been searching for. However, what are the "out of pocket" start-up costs? If it is "affordable", it also seems to me that the complete program will take quite a while to learn and go thru; and what do we do in the meantinme when making money is an immediate goal for most of us in view of the economic situation.
Posted by: Jean | 9:20 PM
I love the idea of a wealth program. It might also be nice to do a step by step program for starting a business to developing a sucessful business that will be able to support you. Keep up the good work, I am looking forward to signing up.
Posted by: K | 9:28 PM
Eban, pretty much if you produce it, I will purchase it, every time I listen or watch something from you, I come away with at least a few ideas I had not thought about before.
I wish this program had been around a few years ago, I am glad that you are thinking of the newbie, after all the advanced do not necessarily need as much training, and the advanced material will be of better use after the fundamentals are coverd.
as far as the psychological mind set. I think this is of crucial importance. "thoughts are things" (David Deangelo) and without the correct mind set you can not hope to achieve.
thank you for thinking of the beginner.
Posted by: Michael | 9:31 PM
One thing I'd like to hear more about is WHAT are the MOST IMPORTANT Qualitative and Quantitative METRICS to track at the different stages of an internet business?
Posted by: Tom | 9:45 PM
Eben,
First of all thanks very much for doing what you're doing. I am at the point where I'm ready to create and internet business, but I am pretty much completely out to lunch in terms of all the nuts and bolts of doing it. And, as I'm sure you know, there are plenty of folks out there who claim to have THE course on how to do it. What I've discovered is that you have to be extremely careful about this type of thing.
I first heard you on Steve Little's "Guru Interviews" and was extremely impressed with who you are as an individual, your success habits, etc.
I'm ready to go. I don't think you've left anything out that I can think of. I think the idea of the first few segments of "orientation" is excellent and while I'm not that interested in some of the business models presented, I'd still enjoy learning more about them.
So it all sounds complete and excellent and I'm quite confident that you will do an exemplary job with it.
I think the Money Program would be excellent as well.

I agree with every Idea you mention, and most of all the wealth creation one.
Posted by: Steve | 9:48 PM
Hi Eben,
I am excited about this course...its funny that several times I have said out loud, "I wish there was a program that could teach me...", then you show up in my inbox with what I was looking for.
I'll be honest, I got very excited about Gurumastermind and I joined (you actually coaching me on one of the first Marketing Demolition teleconference calls). It was every bit as powerful as I thought it would be. My challenge was that it was a bit too fast paced and advanced for me from where I was (I felt like I was in over my head, got overwhelmed, and fearful) and I was also way "overextended" financially...so I withdrew (temporarily).
I kept saying, "I wish there was a more basic program that could just help me get up and running and earning income so I can relax and focus on growing and expanding a great business".
This program looks like just what I need to get up and running with the basics to do just that...I am more interested in the last things you mentioned in each category (building websites, eBooks, Webinars, and information product development and marketing) than I am in eBay, Amazon, etc, however, I'm sure understanding all of the different models will be useful...I may discover an opportunity to utilize those things that I am unaware of.
I also LOVE that you are adding in a "Wealth Psychology" component...I need it...at the end of 2008, over a few months, I saw my monthly income go from $13,000 to $10,000 to $8000 and then in January down to $800 per month before disappearing completely in the face of mounting debt and a new baby and I am struggling to transform it. I know marketing information products is the way forward for me if I can just get started and build a little momentum.
I have 10 years of experience and specialized knowledge in "Alkaline Nutritional Science" but I am missing how to package, communicate, and deliver that information in a powerful, consistent, and automated way...I'm sure I am making it WAY harder than it is and my overwhelm leads me to fear that stops me in my tracks.
I just pray I can pull the money together for this program.
Thanks!

Eben,
With all of the recent emphasis on the AIG bonuses, it would seem that individuals should be aware that we all mistrust anyone who stresses nothing but financial gains as many online marketers do. They seem less interested in the persons to whom they are marketing than in earning vast sums of money. All stress the hugh financial gains and mention nothing about the satisfaction which comes from working in a community of peers with integrity and compassion. The large problem with affiliate marketing is that you are branded with the same nature as the persons for whom you are selling products, some fine and some not so good. Most are asking you to begin the affiliation without even examining the initial product. Money is good but a good name is much better. I am intrigued with the course you are proposing and I would like to see the result.

Hi Eben,
I like that you break the big chunk into bite size step by step modules
You mentioned
- Freelancing model
- Niche Retail Wholesale model
- Consulting model
- Info products
What about people like me who already knows what exactly I want:
ie I want to focus on Info products business model ONLY and want to skip the rest.
What I would like is a step by step guide on "Info Product Business" from creation to the "ka ching" of the business.
I dont want to waste time learning about the other models that I am NOT interested in at all.
Do you offer a module selection pricing?
Much like in college, where we can choose the units we want and we pay for the units we take?
My suggestion:
Part 1: Compulsory Module
Orientation where all of us go through the same basic modules like the jargons used and basics of Internet
Part 2: Optional selection of modules
We get to choose the "elective" module on which model we want to focus on
That way we pay for what we want to learn and for those who want to learn it ALL, you can offer a package pricing and those who want to take up specific modules pay just for that modules.
So you cater to
- people who want it ALL
- people who want selected modules
Looking forward to be your student! I can hear the bell ringing..back to Eben's school!

I would suggest adding a compenent that addresses some of the basic legal and tax considerations of starting a business. When doing internet marketing, at what point do you suggest forming a corporation? What liabilities are associated with the different business models? Etc...
Posted by: Mike | 10:15 PM
I really appreciate your advice .as a total confused beginner with a very little expereience as far as internet marketing is concerned ,but with huge desire to make my own business .i would like to know your advice for those who ignore where to start ,is it affiliate marketing ,blogging act.think you so much !
Posted by: omar | 10:29 PM
Hey Eben and team,
i think this is a great idea and probably a winner, considering your track record.
My concern is similar to Sue's; this is very comprehensive but still scattered (like the overwhelm thing). i would much prefer if each course were focused on a certain topic than a broad approach.
I don't want to spend time learning about ebay or wholesaling so that would deter me from the course (weird psychology isn't it, it's not like i have to learn it...but the mind is tricky). I'd rather buy just infomarketing, affiliate marketing etc. that are at least connected and have a similar model.
Pricing - if it's more specified i think $147 would work. kind of helpin the newbie out and provided they are successful, you've got a solid backend set up with GuruMastermind and GetAltitude.
take care,
Nahyan
ps. the psychology of wealth sounds great
Posted by: Nahyan | 10:34 PM
Hallo Eben,
i think this program will be just perfect for someone like me.
I've been looking, thinking and molling over how and where to begin for 1 1/2 year now and i'm still overwhelmed and cant it together. so, yes i think this program could help me build a successful business .and turn my life around. I'm exithin cant wait to get started.thanks very much for what you're doing.
P.S,
what's the prize for this program?
Posted by: Eddy | 10:42 PM
Eben,
Your videos are amazing. I would like to address that everything in the program sounds great. I have two concerns. First, your $10,000 getattitude program was a bit too pricey for me to attend. I am looking for this course to be in the area of $1,000 to $2,000.
As for wealth creation, I would love you to make that!
-Kevin
Posted by: kevin | 10:47 PM
Hi Eben,
It sounds like it's going to be a great course you're about to launch. The only thng I can come up with, that you didn't mention was to make all the webinars and live training downloadable too.
Have a nice day
Lennart Holmin
Posted by: Lennart Holmin | 10:54 PM
Hi Eben,
From reading other posts, I get a bit of a theme of "The cost to join the program should not be to high to be prohibitive" and "I want to learn how to 'boot-strap' it as much as possible".
So this seems to be a list of people who have time, and not money (basically).
Basically, I think the format of the program should be 'Guru Master Mind Lite.' The method of instruction is very good, it's just a different angle on the subject matter.
Now, in my personal process, my sticking point is paid search. I've seen other people out there doing well with it, and some offering a service to teach it -- maybe you could incorporate some medium for newbies to seek out mentorship for specific sticking points -- some way for someone that WANTS to learn to find somebody they can interact with that can teach said skill, but in a way that is much more informal (i.e. the teacher doesn't have to be an internet marketer, just somebody that knows some in's and out's and can answer questions).
There's my thoughts.
Thanks Eben, you are the one Internet Marketer that always leaves me feeling a sense of hope that I can do this stuff.
-J
Posted by: Josh | 10:55 PM
Hi Eben,
The course sounds terrific, and I believe there will be a tremendous amount of value in this for many people - myself included.
I also think that your slant on the Psychology of Wealth will be very welcome indeed.
My best wishes,
Joseph
Posted by: Joseph | 11:01 PM
Sounds like it's got to be sold in modules with a conceptual module as the anchor. Continuity/subscription seems to me attractive also; it to could be modular.
You've always done good stuff, I'm sure it'll be a hit
Posted by: John | 11:08 PM
Hi Eban,
This program sounds excellent and something I can really use. I do own Altitude but didn't get far with it because I found it overwhelming. Doing the basics first in Ignition will put me in the right place to learn in more depth afterward.
Out of all the excellent things you mentioned planning, the one which interests me most, by far, is the nuts and bolts of how to set up web pages, auto responders, etc.
My preference is for this course to really be basic, and cover the basics in depth rather than jump to too many topics.
Like many others who commented, I would need the sessions recorded.
Finally I want to comment on a postscript from one of the previous comments: "What is the prize for this course?" Now I'm pretty sure he meant "price" but I love the question. Of course the prize is the enormous amount of information we are about to own.
Looking forward to learning with you, Eben.
Posted by: Dr. Nili Marcia | 11:26 PM
As new retiree,I have been following you and your launches for about a year. Gruru Mastermind and Altitude were much more than as a newbie I could mentally digest. Crawl before standing, walking and so on.
I have been taking some of your affiliates courses and have spent many,many hours learning this new language and systems.
One weekend? Can you make it a 40 hr. weekend? LOL! No doubt you can deliver the content effortlessly BUT how could a newbie possible grasp all the concepts and elements in such a short time? For me it would have to be a well detailed videos and PDFs that I could review again.
Learning to crawl, Judy
Posted by: Judith | 12:29 AM
Hi Eben,
Would you assign a mentor to provide guidance to the newbies following your ignition course. I will look forward to learning the ins and out about internet marketing.
Posted by: Andre Cartier | 12:30 AM
On the survey one question was how many hours could you devote to learning. From your video you mentioned taking a weekend. With my busy schedule I can't imagine having a whole weekend to devote to this. Will the videos be available for viewing later on?
What you plan to cover is right were I need to start...thanks
Posted by: Alexander | 12:30 AM
Eben,
I'm intrigued by the idea although what you suggest seems very comprehensive for a weekend of training. That's ok - I'd be willing to pay more in fees if I could have a "helpline" of some kind should I have questions while I'm on my own and need some live support. I like the idea and am excited about it...ideas are popping into my head already - count me in.
Posted by: Rob | 12:33 AM
Hello Eben,
I imagine that these modules would be delivered over a membership site, where perhaps a test of competency allows the member to move on to the next module.
It would be an excellent program if you managed it.
If it is a high priced fee it will be a flash in the pan.
Other lecturers could still promote their products within the program but the student or member should have an advantage, like a discount.
And a decent one!
Not a bonus for something they don't need or want.
If the membership fee starts no more than $147 per month, it will be a winner, the first of it's kind and will last forever.
With a self regulated learning system and forum, everyone advances at their own pace.
Throw in a regular ustream, webinair Q & A ( pre-arranged questions) and I would love it.
Forgive me , this is rough but I am running out the door.
This is only my view and I am probably way off beam.
Regards
Lisa Pitcher
Posted by: Lisa | 12:42 AM
This sounds great! I am married to a so called computer guru so I know very little of the basics and want to learn to do it myself.
I love the idea of Psychology of Wealth and think that the psychology of success would be very important if not already covered in the wealth section.
I too am visual and would love to have a print out to follow along with.
I agree for the need for ongoing support, even if via email.
Pricing will always be an issue, there are lots of programs out there for thousands of dollars which are too big a gamble for me and others like me. (Given that I am from Australia and the price almost doubles with the current conversion rate)
Your program sounds honest and your reputation is great so I am looking forward to finding out more about it, particularly the price (hopefully less than $250US)
Cheers
Yvonne
Posted by: Yvonne ralph | 12:46 AM
Thanks for asking and listenting to what we want.
I would only be interested in the information module. I'm not sure what you're planning on doing but beginners to advanced information is helpful for those of us who already have a business in place and are looking to expand on it.
I really need information on getting traffic.
I would love the wealth module as well.
Have you considered any kind of one on one coaching. I like that because I always have questions and nobody to turn to for help.
Thank you Eban
Posted by: Linda | 1:03 AM
Hi Eban
I think this is a fabulous idea and just what is needed.
It sounds like a lot of cramming for one weekend, but I am sure you will make sure it isn't too mind blowing all at once!
Re the pricing, I agree with the other comments, particularly coming from Aus, as everything online is very expensive for us wit the exchange rate. Preferably under $250.00 would be great. I think paying in instalments through Pay Pal is a god idea.
Love your work!
Monica
Posted by: Monica | 1:13 AM
Hi Eban,
Everything sounds great!! I have no idea what I would want to sell, and I am really limited in my knowledge of the computer. This program would be very helpful for me. I hope the price is really reasonable so I can do this. Thanks for wanting to do this.
Posted by: Darlena | 1:21 AM
Hey Eben
As a newbie I relize watching a video instead of reading a PDF file is much easer to understand and you can put live examples which helps even more.
Being bombarded with all the new offers from every direction is more overwelming then trying to start an online business. Keep the cost of the course reasonable and adding payment options will help a lot of people including myself. I bought alot of high priced courses and I'm running low on cash, my returns are in the dumpster
It sounds like it's what the newbie needs, Start from the ground and work your way up. We need a strong foundation. Thanks for looking out :-)
Posted by: Ed | 1:29 AM
This sounds real good. I am hoping to take advantage of this program.
DJ
Posted by: DJ | 2:20 AM
Hi Eben,
As certified new to online business I certainly fit your target market. Here are a few things I am looking for:
* How to identify a good target market: buying habits, trends, profitability, keywords
* How to select, identify or create an ideal product
* How to craft an irresistable offer
* Tactics to generate traffic and listbuilding
* Business model identification & selection
* In depth discussion about membership models, affiliate marketing
* Technical information about video set-up, webinars, teleseminars, podcasts, web site creation, SEO, adwords, shopping carts, database integration for off-line tactics: telemarketing, direct mail
I tend to prefer nuts and bolts tactics over money making psychology, but both are critical to success. How did you create a $20MM business? How can I build a $20MM business?!
Warmly,
JB
Posted by: J | 2:46 AM
yes this program sounds very good for newbies like me. your info is top notch, hope the cost is reasonable
Posted by: Christian Torres | 2:59 AM
Hi Eben
I had to laugh when I heard you say that you took seven years to get around to this and that has been my problem. I have been "fiddling" for years. And yes "overwhelm" is the the problem. Its like being in a candy shop, making a choice of what you want.
The thing I find difficult is the technical side of website setup and transfer to the host, redirection etc. all technical.
Generalization is a waste of time. We need nitty gritty.
Posted by: Moneymaker | 3:11 AM
Hey Eban,
I'd like something advanced. You can still include basic things like basic html, auto-responders etc but it needs to be slip up in the members area. So for people who have a good understanding of internet marketing already we don't have to go over things that we have already seen 100 times before. I'm looking for advanced material which can take me a step at a time whether it's affiliate marketing or your own product. I just need a road map on how to use what I know and how to implement it.
I now know so much about PPC, SEO, Co-Reg, HTML, enough to be dangerous or even talk at a seminar about it, yet I still can't make money because I hope on to something else before it ever really gets going. I'd like a step-by-step method of how if you were me, what would you do first, followed by what, then what, and then what, etc...
Rather than a "this is what you need to do" we need a "this is how you do it" course shown to us.
Something like (coming from you):
1) I choose that I want to start affiliating a product and if it does well then I can do my own product on that same market, but I don't what to put too much time in to it as it may not work and I would have wasted a lot of time and effort before I know that market/product works.
2) I research markets
3) I choose an affiliate product
4) I create a website around it
5) I structure it like this so that it does this.
6) I get traffic by doing this 1st
7) Then I track and test the site's performance using this...
8) now I know it converts I'm going to do these traffic methods
9) now I know this works and this doesn't so I can do this...
10) Now I can expand into this...
11) Now I can do this....
12) Now I know that it's time to create my own product on this and compete
13) I create my product.
14) I hire a copy writer by...
15) I find a JVs by...
16) etc...
17) etc...
Just like a road map to what you would do, exactly as you would. When to stop and choose something else, when to move onto another step, when to expand, when to speed up or slow down, etc...
Something else very important is support which actualy get back to you and help you understand and fix what is going wrong. So if I were to ask them "Eban says to find JVs by doing this, but no one is getting back to me, what do I do?" then they actually help me!
I hope you really do take my comments on board because I've been over so many course and none of them give a map. They just tell you one thing or another such as "here's how you do PPC" - well thanks but what they don't tell you is everything behind it. the tracking, the follow ups, etc...
You can still have PPC training or banner advertising, domain & hosting, html, co-reg course material in there but split it up so the advanced people who already know this don't have to go over it all again, and the people who need it can.
Thanks Eban ;-)
Posted by: Dan | 3:15 AM
Eben,
I have looked forward to this follow-up information since completing the recent survey and cannot wait for the launch of Ignition. During the above video clip, I made a list of the topics you will be covering and it is most thorough. This is just the information for which I am searching. I have ideas for new content but not sure how to develop and bring finished product to market. It seems to take forever to create the content.
Also, we humans tend to become what we think about most of the time. I might encourage you to include material of how to better take control of our thoughts and the focus of our minds (similar to what is presented in The Secret, or Think & Grow Rich, or Earl Nightingale's The Strangest Secret).
Again, I look forward to the launch and enrolling in your program.
Best wishes,
Roger
Posted by: Roger | 3:19 AM
I think this all sounds very good. The only thing I might add to your program would be a "Psychology of Success" to go along with the "Psychology of Wealth" part.
I believe some of us have struggled for so long to get started (I'm going on 5.5 years since I first got the bug to start a business), that our minds are actually becoming wired to expect failure from any and all attempts we make at a business.
Thanks.
Posted by: Ed | 3:19 AM
Hi Eben,
Sounds like a an awesome composition of content for the course. I studied you and many other internet marketers over the last year and the biggest challenge lies in the tech side of things for me. The nuts and bolts preety much. Like picking a domain name, getting a server, setting up a website that looks good, hwo to build up your list, getting traffic and all of that. I am an expert in what I do but to get all the online stuff sorted is a HUGE challenge. I want to go into the direction of consulting, live seminars and information product marketing. I am looking forward to the course and if it is under $500 US with a payment plan I will do it. ( I feel a little embarrased about putting that price up here because the vale you will give is FAR beyond that...) But I think the truth and reality is the people who need it most are probably in that pricing bracket. And a big thank you from Canberra... a lot of my mates here call you their spiritual father in terms of growing up to become a good man. You are a great example of what is possible in one's life with hard work and passionate focus. Thanks for walking your talk and being such an amazing guy!
All the Best,
Matt
Posted by: matt | 3:20 AM
this will be fantastic idea.you got all your midas touch of technique,easy to understand will help lots of people as long as price is not as high and may be some instalment will help.this is really a great idea and i dont have any doubt about your success.
Posted by: suresh | 4:25 AM
Hi Eben,
Thanks for the thought of looking after the beginners and the 'little people' in the internet world..I am one of them
But as some of the comments here have pointed out, that it will be tough just to do a general overview of all the contents that you have described in your video; let alone do any of the 'nuts and bolts" stuffs in details, which beginners really need.Hence, I would suggest that :-
1. Spread out your course over 05 weekends & cover the BASICS in details.
2. 1st weekend - Target ONE niche (e.g.sign up for clickbank), build a website, opt-in page & sign up for a autoresponder.
3. 2nd weekend- Quick review of the 1st week. Set up emails sequences for the selected niche, set up simple traffic gneneration techniques (blogs, articles submissions, forums) & fire away..
4. 3rd weekend- Quick review of the 2nd week results (if any). Fine tune previous set ups (opt-in pages, autoresponders, traffic generation)& include more advanced traffic generation (PPC, web 2.0).
5. 4th weekend - set up of membership sites (basic & advanced). Quick setup of Amazon & ebay
6. 5th weekend - Review of trainee's progress & the setups of their income streams.
I think if anyone has a strong grasp of the basics, one can potentially pick up the 'advanced stuff' alot quicker.
Once people have their income streams properly set up, they will appreciate the tangible value of your course more.
Rick
Posted by: Rick yeo | 5:55 AM
Hey Eban,
First of all, for me personally, the timing of this program couldn't be better. I've just been turned on to internet marketing by a friend/business associate, and I've started to get educated, but it's overwhelming. So thanks. Two comments: as far as the pricing, I think you need to be sensitive to the fact that most likely the people who are gonna get into this have perhaps a little less to spend than some others who are already successful internet marketers. On the other hand, you need to price it at a point where you are getting serious people. So don't make it too expensive, and don't make it too cheap! (How's that for clarifying things!). Secondly, I think you might want to address a process by which people can evaluate just which path in the world of internet marketing is going to work best for them, based on their interests, personality type, etc.
Can't wait to hear more about this.
- John
Posted by: John | 6:00 AM
Hi Eben, this sounds great. Even with experience, I love to start at zero again, learn the points I missed, do things a different way, think in new paths. I like the idea of thinking wealth.
I also think of how to take advantage of the fact that there are many people doing similar things at the same time. There are many ways to work together. Want to ignite this too?
I'm starting my personal development website.
Gerd
Posted by: Gerd | 6:13 AM
Hi Eben,
You know what ? Thousands of newbies would be thanking you for this program. Newbies have the most difficulty with uploading a digital product, setting up a download page, a credit card processor, shopping cart, etc. Moreover, you would get more customers if have both a one time and an instalment payment plans.
All the best and awaiting your launch date.
Posted by: Eric Alexander | 8:12 AM
Eben,
1. Would it be possible to get a Wealth Building part on its own? I am not really a newbie and I wouldn't be interested in basics but your inner game, psychology and mindset side of trainings is always worth getting.
2. You've talked about the information overload that newbie might experience, but you're going to give a lot of different business models in the course. My point here is, it would be worthwhile to include something that would allow newbie to choose their own way.
Thank you,
Egor.
Posted by: Egor | 9:43 AM
I think this program will rock. My personal favorite is definitely info product marketing and affiliate marketing. It would be great if you could focus more on that.
I think a reasonable price for this program should be around $197.
J
Posted by: Jeremy | 10:18 AM
Hi Eben,
Since your course is designed for newbies and since many of us are considering the internet to replace or supplement jobs lost or salary cuts due to the economy, the price needs to be very affordable. Many posts suggest $147 which would be a great introductory price. In the Orientation module, please include the 'jargon' terms with examples of that term on a website. Next module should be the Nuts and Bolts one with examples on websites to show what is being talked about. This module's goal is to have the student be able to create a profitable website right away to get money flowing into one's wallet right away. Since most people are instant gratification oriented, the immediate cashflow produced is the critical goal. That cashflow would act as the funding vehicle for other modules.
Structure the course like a college course by assigning projects to be graded or reviewed with suggestions/criticism for improvement.
I agree with no upsells, gotchas and b/s. This will build the reputation of Eban Pegan "U" as the only place to go for internet training. In other words, treat us with respect and not like gullable idiots who are semantically led by the nose by false or misleading sales letters.
Teach us to be successful and our "word of email" will catapult you into the stratosphere of financial and emotional wealth beyond belief.
Thanks for considering all of our suggestions and input.
Posted by: Deanna | 11:20 AM
Hey Eben!
It's sounds like you've got the complete package covered. Nothing missing that I can think of.
I was really excited to hear that you're putting together a program on the "psychology of wealth"! Since so much of creating wealth for yourself is about your internal states and beliefs, who better to teach it than you?
Looking forward to your launches of both these programs!
D
Posted by: David | 12:03 PM
Sounds good. This is only an assumption. If the content you say you are going to cover is charged for a fee, I believe there are sources out there where I can get relatively the same info for free. What I want from Eben is an ongoing accountability, membership-type program that after I get the basics I can get the coaching. Also, I want to see real case studies of people building solid businesses NOT in the internet marketing space and doing it consistently. Thanks,
GE
Posted by: Gerald E | 12:14 PM
Hi Eben,
thanks 4 taking the time to do this program and i think no price is too much 4 such a program that covers the fundamentals of Internet marketing.I don't know how much the price is , but i was thinking, unlike other Guru marketers who charge big price 4 there products,you should consider a system where you take on students, and they pay as they start making money because there are people who can't afford the high start up cost of these programs.Taking myself as an example ,after making payment for feeding , rentage,my internet connection, and fuel 4 my generator(we have power problems in africa) i have nothing left.Thanks

Wow
Sounds so cool !!
I bought ur altitude program and its amaziiiiiiiiing!
As for this, will it all be online!? No DVDs?! Will it be live?
My comments is about the price, if its fair and low, u ROCK!
Good luck..
Posted by: Mai | 1:41 PM
Hi Eben,
The program sounds amazing. I did started a very, very small company called Codestars(.nl). But I'm also still studying software engineering. Maybe you could tell something about setting up a business while you are still at school and how to time-mange that.
Another thing what blocks me from being succesfull with my new business is the fact that I don't know the economic calculations and tricks but I can't afford an accountant yet. (I'm a programmer not a really a businness man) So I don't even know the exact profit I make!
Anyway I hope this post helps a bit. You added a lot of value to my life as David Deangelo and I'm glad I could do something back :)
Floris
Posted by: Floris | 1:41 PM
The program sounds good, how long does it last and is there any ongoing support? Will there be a privite website and forum?
Posted by: John | 1:59 PM
Hi Eban,
This sounds like a great idea. For me I would need the program to be in bit size peices. I have spent several thousands of dollars to people who claim to want to teach beginners. All these programs have done is brag on how much success they had with very little content. So, I would want to participate in stages, not have to plunk down several thousands of dollars just to get a feel for what internet business is. Also, I would like to hear reality not wishfull thinking like "You can make thousands with just one hour per day.
Given these parameters I would be delighted to learn how to actually recover the money I have burried into attempting to have a viable internet business.

The substance of the program sounds great. However, I really do not see how you are going to be able to teach all this stuff in a weekend and expect students to retain it. It sounds like a big cram session and we all know that repetition is the mother of learning. Will there be written materials to go with live lectures? Will there be follow up for questions, etc.?
Posted by: Mark Geiger | 2:51 PM
You were one of the first marketers I found when I launched my own information hub for beginners last year.
I've been so impressed by the quality and of the information you provide, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your course to anyone considering getting online.
The scope of this program does indeed set it apart from others currently available.
Posted by: Elaine | 3:03 PM
Hey Eban:
Sounds like good stuff, BUT having built a lot of web sites, written a lot of articles, sold stuff on ebay, had affiliate marketing programs, currently have an information product online and on Amazon, and most of the rest of the things you discussed, just doing them isn't the issue. I can make $2 or $3 an hour easily, the big question is how to do these things successfully, and either picking the right one or developing yourt chosen one into a real business, not just a hobby.
Posted by: Jeff | 3:16 PM
So far, so good.. Is this an online mod by mod course? I've bought courses before, had them mailed to me and in some cases I was the thirsty man being fed by a firehose. A modual by Modual idea would be constructive...something we can go back to as needed for refresher or clarity.
Good work Eb

Hey Eben
I don't know if you be covering Cpanel or not. If not I'd really like to be able to figure out how Cpanel works and how to use it.
Thanks David...
Posted by: Dave | 4:16 PM
Hi Eben,
I have a suggestion...
Provide "take home material" so that we can have access to the training and education we are paying for even after the program is finished...
Like a workbook, resource guide, DVD, or something...
Thanks
Posted by: Jason | 4:50 PM
Hello Eban,
Sounds great. When are the specifics available?

Posted by: George | 4:57 PM
Eben,
So many people offer "how to" courses but they NEVER live up to the build. It is always steps like:
STEP 1: "Create a squeeze/capture page"
STEP 2: "Write a killer headline that will stop a reader in their tracks"
Even though that is GREAT advice, it would do me no good if I didnt know HOW to create a capture page OR how to write a headline.
If your program goes into the nitty gritty of the "HOW TO"...then I am IN!.

Eben:
It's fascinating to me how you seem to approach everything you promote as a process or in a systematic approach. No wonder your ventures are so successful. I've also seen some of your testimonials for other programs. This shows me that you are constantly investing in your learning. If this course is properly priced for the value delivered (ROI), I trust that the content will be top quality.
Regards,
Fred

Eben, I've been thinking of starting an on-line business for over 4 years and have maxed out some of my credit cards on programs that totally overwhelmed and confused me. I am sitting here without a single webpage...and not making any money. I can't seem to get started..
I need the step by step program you are talking about. I HOPE YOU WILL INCLUDE THE STEP BY STEP STUFF THAT YOUR FRIEND TAUGHT YOU. I still feel like the person who says...the first step is to "turn on your computer".
I am now unemployed and really really need this to work. I know that if anyone can help me - it
is you ...and I can see myself having a profitable internet business. Again, thank you for offering this program. I hope to be one of your super success stories in the future. Thank You for your brilliant busiess sense...and yet your ability to come down to the level of the novice.
Way to go!!!
Posted by: Betty Harlan | 5:32 PM
Eben,
I don't know how you do it, but I swear, the value you offer is always insane in every field.
I know this course will be packed and good, and will help many.
I look forward to it. I'm sure it will be great.
Nothing like a step-by-step mindmap system to follow the whole way through right?
Posted by: Daniel | 5:49 PM
Eben;
Sounds really great, but all that info for a weekend...! and I'm going to know how to build a web page, graphics and all with no html knowledge - good, because I need it.
Keep the cost reasonable, as some of us are still waiting for the IRS to spit out a refund(or bailout) check.
Thanks for your insight.
Posted by: Jeff | 6:19 PM
Hi Eben,
Would this course be covering beginner info like, setting up a merchant account, payment gateways, and how to accept money in different currencies?
I think it would be helpful.
Thanks!
Posted by: Ricky | 6:41 PM
I look forward to the launch of this Ignition program. I've followed you for a while and am very impressed with your teaching ability. Wake Up Productive sort of flew over me but walked away with some very good info. I've enjoyed all the comments from all those that participated. I see from the comments that your audience are varied in what they want to learn. I understand that you intended it for beginners and that is what I am. I've tried a few other programs before and have found that what was thought to be easy by those instructing was not easy for me. I did'nt have that mindset so was lost very easily. I hope Ignition will be different for me. I've learned so much from all the comments given that I leave so well informed with the needs of so many. Mahalo from Honolulu.
Posted by: Lloyd P. Noland | 7:12 PM
Hi Eben:
the course sounds great, unique in that it also includes other aspects such as the amazon, consulting etc.
The wealth Mindset ABSOLUTELY! Definitely needed and being who you are and how you present, it would be great! Thanks again.

Thanks!

Eben,
If there is anyone I trust to guide me in the information industry, it's you.
I am not going to be able to be a part of this one due to to many doctors bills. I would like to express honest regret and sadness; This seems like one of your best programs yet.
I recently participated in Wake Up Productive after years of newsletter lurking and was not disappointed.
I am very excited for everyone who WILL be involved in this training seminar and encourage anyone reading this to take full advantage of what Eben has to offer, He is truly the best.
Cheers,
Jeff

Hey Eben!
This would be the first message I would of sent you ever..and after listening, reading and watching your stuff I have to say a huge thank you!
You have and you still are changing my life..( yes take a minuite to realise how important that is ..lol)
Seriously dude, I am only 19 years of age and your work, teachings and theories ring true on so many levels its quite unbelievable. I am a Student, going on to University to study sociology and pyschology and i have to say you have been a massive inspiration.
Anyway to the buisness stuff, Look ..i think the idea behind the ignition programme is fantastic, its what im looking for. You've included pretty much everything that i need to learn for my buisness to grow. Although i might be thinking far ahead of my first few steps in the buisness world, What i want to know is how to create seminars and training workshops where it is soled for a reasonable ( meaning quite high) price and still have it fully booked.
Secondly, as i have written above, I am a student, so i was curious ( as you say, it's always good to be curious) ..if you do any student packages (or something where i could pay you back when im rich and successful.. )... No seriously, if you have a way of contacting me personally and hopefully suggest a few ways where i can either attend the course or buy it for a price which i know i can afford.
Thanks.
Your friend Leo.
Posted by: Leonardo | 9:43 PM
Hello Eban. I can't say much more than what other's have already said. I am interested in hearing more about this training. Like Ted Sikkink mentioned, above, I too have spent too much money on several other products. I get totally pumped up, ready to kick buns, work hours to learn the process, and hit a brick wall! Either, I am left with so much "general" information that I don't know how to move forward, or I have to pay much more to "learn the next steps" or have a mentor. I need a mentor/coach/trainer who will hold my hand through the first "deal". Help me make those first $$$$$, so I can afford to learn more and be more!
I wish you much luck. I hope you are the right one for me because I'm about to "burn out"!!

Posted by: Terry Barnes | 10:05 PM
Sound like you hit the nail on the head Eben... I think I have a really hot niche, and I just need some training on how to actually start selling my products and consulting services.
Posted by: Nick Park | 10:09 PM
Eben, I admire the way you absolutely clearly outline what you are considering offering. I have been searching for all the bits and pieces you are putting together into this program and have found incomplete and inaccurate information from people who do not present anywhere near as well as you. And, yes please, include the psychology of making money.
Posted by: Adele Craven | 12:12 AM
I think all of it sounds great!
My only suggestion would be to cover online product licensing (ie: Bob Serling).
The psychology of online marketing sounds very interesting! I am very excited to hear more!
Posted by: Tom | 1:19 AM
The other program about the psychology of wealth would be a much needed addition to your suite of programs.

Hi Eben,
I really would like to take this course. I hope it is within my budget. I liked everything you talked about.
Posted by: Kristy | 4:12 AM
Hi Eben,
This sounds like a great idea, I have done your Wake up producti ve course and I am currently studying your altitude program and have gotten so much out of these. I also attended your LA content seminar. I think you have so much to offer. However being newby at all this the mind has really been in overdrive to work out how to get everything together. I have also purchased other peoples courses to get the detail that was missing in your course as a newby. AS I think I entered woith your Gold memebers, this was a great expereince for me and very inspirational. I left feeling that I was going to keep learning until I got it all together. I also realise that there is soooooo much to learn to really put it all together. From what you say in yout video you are definately delivering and even overdelivering.
My suggestion is maybe you could think about chunking the info down and give people a chance to complete one task, then move into the next task, so they have time to build on each aspect of the course, little like you delivered the Wake up productive program. This gave you the time to ingtegrate one concept at a time which is necessary when you are a newby. The one thing I have had difficulty with in the course I have purchased is that they are all delivered at once and this can be overwhelming. I am however getting used to this process now, but I really have to time manage to cover the info. As a therapist I find that if you overdeliver to the newly converted you will loose them if it is all too overwhelming.I know the big thing at the moment is to overdeliver, but thats probably best for the experienced inet marketer. Again I loved the delivery of the wakup productive course over a set amount of days. One last thing is that I would like to do this as I know the quality of your delivery. I am in Australia and since I have already been to LA in January to your concent summit. My finances are stretched to get there again. So please make this available so students anywhere in the world can take the course.
Cheers

Would like you to do the wealth module. What if you do not have a product or service to sell? Can this program help?
Posted by: JT Bennington | 2:27 PM
Would there be a way to network with other newbies, sharing (combining) products, services, thoughts?
Posted by: Raman | 5:26 PM
Eben, this is exactly what I've been looking for - I'm so overwhelmed. I struggle most with coming up with an idea to get started with, and not having much money to fork out to get training in such an area, so I second the idea that a payment plan would be awesome.
I LOVE that this is going to be accessible from home.
If I'm going to invest any of my money in training, it will be with you Eben because every time I see/hear one of your videos I'm reminded as to how similar your business ethics are to mine. It's like you're reading my mind sometimes! :-)
Anyway, look forward to hearing more details about this soon.
Posted by: Michelle | 5:32 PM
Hi Eben, sounds great, and I'd definitely be interested. My only comment / concern is that it sounds like a LOT of material to cover in a 1 weekend program, so could run the risk of a) not going deep enough on some of the content, and b) being info overload. I think both these 'problems' are easily fixed via recorded content, workbooks etc. Plus, will there be any ongoing support? Thanks Eben, very exciting!
Posted by: Paul | 9:43 PM
Eben,
The program should discuss the costs of having the sight generate income. In other words, besides the cost of your program, what should one expect to have to pay to advertise, on going running costs, etc. Also, will the program help with determining what "business" to go into?
Thanks.

Hi Eben,
I've been following your development for a while now, and been using some of your material, but this sounds like it is just what I need to get some hands-on practical knowledge to get started.
Also, I like the idea that you're going to go through several different business models so us newbies can start doing something that matches our personal interests... which is a major factor in my decisions concerning business.
Can't wait to get my hands on your "Ignition" :P
Kind regards,

Posted by: Janus Guttmann-Fich | 10:47 AM
Hi Eben,
What I would like is a section in which you explain the different tools to use for each thing, a couple of alternatives for each tool and the cost. E.g.: what can you use to host a web page, 2 or 3 alternatives, the cost, the basics and resources to learn more. If you can partner with this companies, you may get a cut for yourself and offer a better deal for your students, everybody wins.
Thanks,
JJ

Hey Eben,
I can't believe you're creating this product. I've been talking to my good friend for about a week now of how there is NO step-by-step product out there on how to start up. I was going to hold the worlds first, live workshop on starting up. I guess you beat me to it.
My hopes for this program are that it is a true step-by-step. If you included material where if you were to take the course, you would leave being able to implement it IMMEDIATELY and see a profit in a few days to weeks.
Sounds great and can't wait.
Posted by: Ben | 12:59 AM
Sounds like a great program. I would like you to add a module on the legal aspects such as-the type of entity, template for disclaimers, compliance etc. You may even have teleseminar with an expert attorney who specializes in internet law. This should not be too overwhelming to scare people from starting internet business, but give simple strategies/solutions.
Posted by: Lalitha Brahma | 2:00 AM
Eben,
Your description of the program sounds great. I have watched many of your videos and bought Wake up productive and I really like the way you deliver information. If you can keep it truly simple and in clear language I can't think of anyone better to learn from.
Posted by: Michele | 6:32 AM
Hi Eben, thanks for launching this course...sounds very very exciting....sometimes I think that is too good to be true. I just hope that the language used is simple and clear because English is not my mother tongue...and that you keep it affordable! thanks again

This is the kind of program I have been crying out for and there are also many more people in my position who are struggling to build a business online who would love to be involved in this program and hopefuly come out with a real vaible business at the end.
Posted by: Bryan Dennehy | 4:01 PM
Hello Eben,
Your video is probably one of the best videos there is on making money online. You used simple terms that could easily be understood by newbies. It was clear and detailed. You covered areas that other teachers sometimes fail to address. I very much agree with you that to earn online we must have a step by step plan. I myself have managed to follow that rule. I myself have tried to narrow down the reasons why other have failed and some have succeeded. Perhaps you could expound on that too. Regarding wealth creation, that a good idea. We should first and foremost have the prosperity mind-set for us to succeed online or not.
I will be looking forward to the ignition program Eben. And yes, step by step strategy is whats going to bring us to earning money online.
More power to you!
Posted by: Amulekone | 6:09 PM
Eben,
As I listened to your Ignition video all I could do was nod my head in agreement as to what every start up & experienced internet entrepreneur needs in their "tool box"!
You definitely should add the wealth mindset/psychology to the mix as this is the only way to have true wealth.
The only things that I would add to this program are 1) to make sure it is reasonably priced with flexible payment options (lots of people like myself are having personal recessions) and 2)Don't have the course go on too 90 days seems to be the benchmark for people maintaining their interest an anything, from dieting to money making opportunities.
Look forward to hearing from you soon.
Until Then.. Live Well,

Posted by: Fee | 6:07 PM
Thanks for the great video!
Maybe you would like to add that the program will be suitable for what group of people, and the program will not be suitable for whom. Or any pre-requisite/any skills required in order to get the most out of the program? Ex. need to already have a business idea.
I think the psychology of wealth would be great since it may be a source of motivation for me to take action.
Thanks again!
Posted by: Han | 3:45 PM
Hi Eben,
I have probably watched one of the best videos ever on how to make money online. It was clear, precise and very basic. You have covered all the areas necessary on how to earn on the internet.
You can maybe include an article with all these internet marketing language and jargons. I think we agree that not everyone actually understands all these specialized language.
Looking forward to Ignition program.
Good Luck.
Posted by: Jason | 5:55 PM
This sounds great! I have tried learning how to do this but all the "components" make it difficult to put together. I'm still in the phase of finding a niche to settle into.
Honestly the 'technical' aspect has slowed me considerably. Slowly I've learned but just enough to get me frustrated! A step by step would be awesome because I feel like I have wasted so much time (money) in trying to make this happen. I have a blog and about to try PPC (but scared of it cause I don't want to waste more $). I really don't want it stretched out over a long period of time (do know continuity is profitable:)I would prefer to be able to pick the area I need the most at any particular time.
Great idea for newbie's, I must need the 'hold my hand and walk me through the paces' type of course that it sounds like you will offer.
Please do make it reasonably priced at first so we can get started. Hurts to have my motor revved & not sure where to steer!
For more profit for you, you could put an additional program @ the end.

adding a "how to drive huge traffic using ppc or seo" part would be great.
thx for the program
Posted by: Saifeddine Haddad | 2:04 PM
This sounds fantastic and I am looking forward to this sooooo much. Your past experiences are almost exactly NOW.
I hope IGNITION also covers one of the beginners' biggest obsticles: FOCUS and TIME MANAGEMENT
No matter how good the business model is, working at home comes with obsticles and interuptions. You know as well as I do that these cause you to lose Focus and send your time management down the drain.
Just some thoughts and what I have personally experienced which has lead to my lack of business online.

Hey Eben, your material and seminars are better and more grounded that any talk I've attended and I go to the best business school in my country.

Hello, Eben How indepth are you going to go in a couple of days. Or is this a series. Also, please address how a person that is working can implement your teachings.

Got cha' beat...9 years "E". 9 YEARS!! I had no clue where to go and who to trust...and sort of, still don't have a clue. LOL.
I discovered I had to learn Marketing and more importantly, Direct Marketing, then Internet Marketing.
Sure wouldn't hurt to learn from a guy who's done it to the tune of $10-$20 Million per year; who's genuine and willing to teach. Wish this was done a few years ago. LOL.
Btw, pls. do the wealth creation training. (Love Kiyosaki's stuff)
I find when I'm enrolling a newbie in my business, they have no sense of a wealthy mentality or perspective. Why would they, right?
I recommend they listen to the audio version of T. Harv Ecker's Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, over and over. It keeps me from burning my battery with that conversation.

It sounds good. I have trouble starting because as you said I am overwhelmed. I don't want to make a bad move especially with money. I am pretty knowledgable about the internet. It's the getting quality traffic to buy my affiliate product that I want to learn. If I had a good chance of spending $100 to make $200 obviously in a heart beat I would jump in. I guess I am still wondering (procrastinating) if that is really possible.
Posted by: Jim Walker | 3:40 PM
This sounds like a lot of information -- maybe too much. You should consider getting Stacy Brice of AssistU to do the session on being a VA (she can really explain what a VA is). If not Stacy, please consider getting a practicing VA. Many assistants aren't ever successful because they don't really understand the business they are starting.
Posted by: Meredith | 3:50 PM
This sounds like a terrific program. I think the psychology and techniques of wealth is definitely something to be included. I'm sure in your program will be the psychology of sales, landing pages, etc.
I'm seriously considering Ignition yet still having trouble choosing what my product will be. My level of commitment to doing the program is low b/c I don't have a full plan from A to Z. Know what I mean?
Looking forward to more.
Posted by: Ian | 4:17 PM
Hi... I've Always think in principles. If you have the principles of the business clear, you can "change" the step by step linear process. I just think that in adition to the step by step program, always have clear the principles behind everything.
Thanks Eben...
Posted by: Marco Mercado | 4:29 PM
Eban, I Think at this particular time in your life, you have accumulated enough wealth and experience to teach the psychology of Success and Wealth Development. Go for it!
Ironically, it just so happens I am building my business and am at the stage of internet marketing. I know with a Definiteness of purpose and strong conviction that I am a HUGE Success. I created a mission statement that states I will earn $100,001.00 in the interim between now and October of this year in direct proportion to the service I intend to render in return. At this time I don't know HOW I will start your program, But I WILL tell you this; We both have faith in your program and we both love an intelligent, dedicated student! If you allow me to take your course for free, Upon faithful Success, I WILL pay more than what is expected in Direct proportion for YOUR service rendered!

Hi Eben,
This looks like a wonderful program and one that could really help newbies knock their new offline and online businesses out of the park!
I work with a lot of newbies and some more experienced online marketers and THE ONE thing that seems to get in the way is finding really good resources that work (Auto responder, web templates, etc) and find help(web master, designer, copy writer, virtual assistant, etc.) that's reasonable reliable and "gets" this type of marketing.
I know this might be a challenge because your name would be on the line for recommending them. Yet having a stable of reliable, economical and savvy resources you could recommend to newbies would be a killer bonus. If you need any help or guidance, am happy to lend a hand.
Posted by: Shannon | 5:09 PM
so psyched to be learning this material from an actual educator and business man...not just a business man. you are a true teacher. wondering where you feel copywriting fits in - how important it is- if it deserves its own set of webinars - does it play a role in creating successful landing pages.
also - wondering if there are ANY other people who have indicated interest in your feedback regarding network marketing

Hi Eben,
Well it sounds like you've covered all the basics here with this. I'm really looking forward to see how the affordable this program it's going to be too. You're an awesome teacher and I like listening to your videos. If Ignition does what I'm expecting for us people just getting started or even like me where I've got some things going and need better direction it will be great. Hopefully this can also help us get up and profiting quickly as well. Thanks for listening to everyones suggestions about what we're looking for instead of the usual survey that actually only seems to serve as nothing more than squeeze page.

Posted by: Rick Nelson | 7:13 PM
Hey, Eben
Sounds FANTASTIC!! Just what I need, desperately.
I can sooo relate to the 4 things you said held you back: confused/overwhelmed; where to start; too many options; needing STEP x STEP training. I read through most of the other posts & concur on the following:
1)the price needs to be within reach - for those who have already spent thou$and$ & are no further along AND for all who are feeling the pinch of the current economy - a choice of payment plan would help with this
2)I, too, am a Wakeup Productive alumni & think that method of stretching the training out over a period of time would be MUCH better than trying to cram all that info into the short span of a weekend
3)also, being able to access/download the sessions later both for review & in case one can't be "on deck" at the specified time(s) or for the entire time, I feel, is a MUST
4)regarding the price/payment, it might be nice to be able to choose only those parts one is interested in (ex: I don't care to learn about eBay). However, that might necessitate the price being higher (like ordering ala carte in a restaurant)
5)Someone mentioned email writing being included ("converting" emails) - that would be good, if it isn't already included
6)As for the mastermind/motivational segment or a legal/tax segment, maybe those could be optional, pay extra for segments - I, for one, will have ALL THE MOTIVATION I need when I have the basic "how to get a website up & working" - getting started info. THEN, I will be off & running! Sounds like those things will be most cover in the Orientation and Nuts & Bolts Bonuses
7)Finally, not real sure about the Wealth Psychology part. Probably valuable - but, depending on the actual content, might be an entire other course (?)
Anyway, I'm definitely in if I can swing the price! I've been looking at doing an online business for 2-3 years & have an Important NEED to get it going NOW, but always stumped by all the things you are offering in "IGNITION" - thanks so much for coming up with this.
Posted by: Sandy | 9:13 PM
I'm really glad the way you describe how this ignition program was organized.
The reasons that you gave why you just start your online biz after 7 years is so true.
I think you're really connect to the newbies.
One thing that you have to consider is the quick results. Because many of the newbies has bombarded with the quick results courses out there.
Maybe when we already know which online business model that fits on us, you will teach us the marketing parts that really works fast and for long terms.
One thing I'm sure, you'll give the best for us as I see how your works before.
Posted by: Daddyc | 11:46 PM
Sounds like a good plan. Let me just expound on what you said about newbies being confused and overwhelmed by it all and suffering from paralysis. You mentioned SO MANY options and choices for someone to enter the Internet business (ebay, teleseminars, amazon, affiliate marketing, etc.) And already, it sounded a bit overwhelming. May I suggest that in addition to covering all the various options, that you also discuss the BEST route for a newbie to take to get started. I realize that one business concept might be better than another for a particular person, but in general there must be a "better" option (to begin) that owuld apply to the majority. In other words, share what's the BEST way to get the feet wet as opposed to just throwing out tons of choices. Thanks for listening.
Posted by: sam | 12:07 AM
Eben,
This sounds great.
Personally, I'm not interested in product marketing, so as far as I'm concerned, you can leave out the Ebay stuff.
I'd like to see you add a section on how you create your marketing materials.
I think the psychology of wealth module would be great.
It wold be great if you had .mp4's of the trainings like you have for WUP in case people can't be available for the entire program live.
Are you covering list building? You may have mentioned it.
Hopefully the price will be affordable!
Posted by: Jeff | 2:20 AM
Hey Eben. Thanks for your "Man Transformation" and "Wake Up Productive," and now "Ignition." I'm pretty much an open book, so whatever you have in mind I'm sure is great. Most people already voiced my concerns about not having a product or knowing what to sell, can we start making money right now?
With the other program about long term wealth, one element I'd like to see is mindset, a la "The Secret." Another is investing and letting your income work for you. I remember you said that if a guy had a million dollars and invested it with even a mediocre strategy, budgeted correctly, he can make enough money from the interest alone to live in a first class lifestyle, probably for the rest of his life. It's in your "Man Transformation" on health and wellness, about 21 minutes in. Anyway, I'm thinking you should integrate elements of the new program into this program so your "sequel" will be the next, next level.

Hey Eban,
I am really interested to see what you come out with. Your stuff it so content rich you would be a fool not to watch it a few times round.
My biggest challenge is automated payment gateways, you will be suprised how much you hold things off if you can't guarantee you will get paid... stupid but true. In many of my sites that sell online products I have to use paypal but when it comes to storing CC details, totally stumped. It also doesnt help that I live in Australia.
Loral Langemeier has the best generational wealth system I have seem with her "Wealth Cycles" system and I would be very interested know what you would have me do with my surplus cash.
Make sure you include something that will keep me interested as a tech savvy guy who knows all the terms, 1.5 years in yet still strugling to make more that low 5 figures a year. Really want to know even how to make 6.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Eben,
I want to take my network marketing to another level and feel that the internet marketing is another channel to generate leads to build my business and would like to know if this course would really help.
Posted by: Eugene | 10:42 AM
Hi Eban,
I really enjoy the format you used in Wake Up Productive...step-by-step education, lessons that build upon one another, exercizes-homework. I am hoping your new program offers the same format.
Warmly,
JB
Posted by: J Bushnell | 9:16 PM
Hey Eben,
Three topics I'd love it if you included.
1. Automation - how to set up a fully automated business system
2. Customer Service - how to set up a customer service system that doesn't suck
3. Legality - how to make LLC's and other corp's and save your ass from a lawsuit
Thanks
Posted by: Blake | 11:50 PM
Great stuff Eben,
Im new at all this, and it would be great to have a program like this to give me a step by step plan. This internet marketing is so overwhelming sometimes, it's hard to know where to really focus. It can take forever to learn and by the time you learn one, there's a new trend coming up.
Looking forward to this. Good luck!
Posted by: Jackie | 6:11 PM
As always it looks great. I got introduced to your products a few years ago and they have been truely inspirational. PLEASE make the course on the psychology of wealth. Your insight into the inner game is always amazing.
Thanks for everything, and I can't wait to see what you make!
Posted by: Dan | 1:00 AM
Things I would like to see covered in this program include:
- What type of software would you use, including examples and perhaps some overview of the best applications out there; software to create webinars, .flv files , how you'd go about embedding them,...
- Perhaps also some information on hosting, domain-linking, etc. - some basic website setup stuff.
- Something on outsourcing and how to find people you can outsource certain activities to such as secretarial/admin work. And how you would go about delegating tasks to these people, i.e. sending information, emails, etc. automatically through to those remote hired employees.
- How to go about choosing (simple and productive) templates from all the 10s of 1000s that are available.
- Perhaps an online forum or something similar through which other program attendees can come into contact with each other - who knows, some of them might have very similar ideas to other attendees and may be looking for a committed partner.
- Tips on where exactly to find information to develop more advanced stuff for each of the items discussed, be it marketing, sales letter creations, specific web/blog design, etc.
Really looking forward and very motivated to join this program :-)
Posted by: Herman | 12:56 PM
Eben- This is exactly what I've been looking for. Its very important to me to spend most of my time in my line of business and as little time as possible 'getting up to speed' with the how to's. Can't wait!
Posted by: Lisa | 10:36 PM
hey Eben,
The thing ver important you are missing i didnt hear in the video that is very important is traffic. How to find good traffic, target , seo, links ,pr like your website i hear you said once your websites get like a million visitors a month. How to convince them to buy you.I would like to learn the psycology.Im also interested in news letter where to get content and what to write.What software do you use? etc I always love your newsletters. would be interesting to know the process you have to make those seminar like dyd> How you organize the information and what?
Best regards

Sounds like an excellent program.
Is there a blueprint for having a good website?
I've heard it's best to find a hot market, then basically give those people what you know they already want. Is this part of your theory as well?
I have what I think is a terrific product/idea but I don't know if it would be a marketable, nor do I know how to market it, and how to protect it from being ripped off. Does your course cover this?
Posted by: Robert Kunces | 11:24 PM
I resonate with this comment:
"What about people like me who already know what exactly I want: i.e. I want to focus on Info products business model ONLY and want to skip the rest.
What I would like is a step by step guide on "Info Product Business" from creation to the "ka ching" of the business."
I'm a professional who has been studying internet marketing for two years and using it to expand my training and consultation business. I already know how to set up a site, do auto-responders, blogging, online store, etc. and have been using these tools successfully for my own company. Now I know I want to expand even more;
two things creating and selling information products and developing membership sites.
Is this the program forme? Or, what would you suggest? If paraticular modules are an option, I'd opt-in for that. ;-)
I loved the work you did for Wake Up Productive (WUP) and it is a great model to me for the types of products (different content of course)I'd like to develop.
So, what I really want to know is how I can grow up to be doing what you're doing and making what you're making (in that range. I'm personally and financially ready to invest in a program that will help me do that. If that is this program, I'm in.
Your concent overview sounds killer. Though, a weekend course seems too much. It'd work if it were in vivo, but that many hours trying to focus on a computer screen, not so sure about that. You have a winning formula with WUP - small segments, or modules, step by step and recursive at the same time. I hope you'll stick with that, even if the modules were available at our own pace. Though, it'd be cool to see you live. I would also rather have just you, than have you bring in other experts. It's disjoining to shift from one style to another and we're all here because we like your style. I'm here at your blog ready to buy your products because of the customer loyalty you've endeared, or earned from me. I've been studying the other guys in your mastermind (where are the women by the way) and haven't purchased from them, for reason, and don't necessarily want to. I want to buy your products and your expertise because of your congruency and humanity. I'd rather learan from a whole person, and a whole person mentality, someone that sparks my sense of becoming more and doing more, not folks who consciously appeal to my selfish side or lower self.
Finally, (whew, if you've made it this far) your welath building training concept, and the psychology of making and managing wealth (including handling those who get jealous or who will use you for your wealth), sounds good. As long as it goes deeper and provides practical tools and systems (along with the inner game) more than something like Rich Dad Poor Dad or Robert Allen's stuff, etc. Something for a sophisticated audience. Something for those of us who are upper middle class, making it professionally with a solid career but who would like to break through into products that can be duplicated. For me, it's how to go from 100 to 200k annually trading time for dollars to selling info products that can build more wealth and have a bigger trade off for the time invested. I'd like something for those of us who aren't average (as per your definition of average in WUP).
Thanks for all the good you're doing in the world. I look forward to future purchasing.

Wow - exactly the kind of course I need right now. I have to find a way to be on this course.
Posted by: Allen Sanders | 12:16 AM
Hi Eben,
Ignition sounds fantastic! You talk about the modules, you talk about training, but you haven't mentioned
support and mindset needed to building a business online from start to finish.
Sincere good wishes

Eben,
Looks like an amazing program! I'm sure a lot of people will benefit from the wealth of information.

Hi Eben,
Sounds really good but I'd like to ask if there will be a section on outsourcing. Why I ask? As the business builds up and grows exponentially one may not be able to do all the work.... so what about outsourcing?
The psychological Training to help have the millionaire mindset is welcomed... that will be absolutely GREAT !
Posted by: Rich | 1:06 AM
One of the things I struggle with as a complete "newbie" are the ethics questions that are posed to me and I ask myself from time to time. The big one being, do I encourage people to buy things they want instead of what they really need. How to explain that to them without losing position to someone less concerned with
the customer than their bank account.
Posted by: Neil Ward | 3:05 AM
I think this program sounds wonderfull. I've been looking for pretty much everything you described in your video for more than a year. This is the first program that sounds complete enough that I would be willing to spend a little bit of money on - hopefully it's affordable. I look forward to your call.
Posted by: Earl | 5:11 AM
hello eben i wanted to congratulate you because you have pointed all the important issues i need to improve: my skils my social porject "adopt a healty smile" need it very urgent. i want to thank you for making my needs in order by listening to your vidio.
Posted by: rachel fridman | 5:45 AM
I think the program sounds wonderful It seems to cover everything I can think of. In fact, I was at first wondering how I could possibly learn ALL of that stuff! I have taken your Wake-Up program and know you teach 'pieces' that can be understood and assimilated so I know it can be learned.
I think a course on the Psychology of Wealth is VERY important. People have a lot of strange ideas regarding money and weather or not it is ok to accumulate it. That alone will cause them to fail.
I am looking forward to your new program. Thank you for thinking of us new people.
Posted by: Andrea Scheib | 6:16 AM
I have been wanting to build an internet business for a couple years or more there's a lot of info out there. I've even started building a website. I think, that having easy to access help, during and after the course,(followup) is crucial to helping us to finish strong and implement the stuff taught properly.
I am very new to this and that would help me.
Posted by: Gordon | 11:59 AM
Sounds like a great idea to me. Would love to be a part of it.

Awesome man.
Im taking the Arbitrage course and getting "suck" on the more techie stuff...
-Also Building Wealth. I think this is a VERY IMPORTANT PART, for people and I who didnt come from much.
Although Im playing bigger, I still ahve the same amount in my Bank Acc from 5 years ago..

Hi Eben: It all sounds great to me, I too have been procrastinating for far to long and need that good impetuous towards action not away from it.

Posted by: Byron Welch | 11:10 AM
Hi Eben,
Sounds very familiar, I have been trying to get something going on line for quite some time now. However frustration, overwhelm, not knowing where or how to start, only to look at training programs that leave it up to you to train yourself. Most give no real one on one direction, guidance or support, this makes it even more frustrating for the novice.It sounds like you have all the bases covered, how to attract and build wealth sounds like an excellent add-on bonus. If this is priced so that it is made affordable I am definitely interested. I look forward to the release of Ignition.

hi Eban I have a great web site for travel called world ventures,where you can book travel,go on dream trips,and or become a rep. its your basic word of mouth network marketing. what is the best way to drive lots of people to my web site. I need help thanks mike d
Posted by: michael douglas | 12:13 AM
Hi Eben !
I can't wait till this course starts. The more I hear you talk , the more I want to be part of this comprehensive course. Some of the areas you will be covering used to be enigmas to me. I am
simply thrilled at the perspective that these
"items" will no longer be enigmas...soon
Thanks awfully.
Zakia
Posted by: zakia | 12:48 AM
Eben,
On building & preserving wealth I think you should include a segment on the six areas of Financial Planning:Financial Position, Protection, Wealth Accumulation, Tax, Retirement and Estate Planning. In the wealth accumulation portion you should cover diversification and the importance of inverse funds or ETF's. Also you should cover the Tax Triangle: Tax Me Now, Tax Me Later and Tax Me Never money. Again, what your doing is very impressive.
Bob K.
Posted by: Robert Kunces | 1:16 AM
Eban I think the program sounds great!
Comments-- Please refer to techie training or outsourcing . It is the thing that has kept me from launching for years...Is still keeping me frozen its like a whole alien world for techno phobics
The wealth development is essential to stop sabotage ...no amount of good training will develop a skewed mind....You cant throw good seeds on to baron ground they wont grow.

Posted by: susie Pitt | 3:41 AM
Eben,
This sounds exciting. One key thing that you might also cover is how "newbies, beginners, and novices" can stay away from all the programs out there that really do not provide the kind of content that is necessary for one to succeed. Maybe call it a "What to watch out for..." segment, or "Don't Get Suckered" segment. Maybe even "Condoms for Contemplation: How to Keep Your Mind and Pocket Book from Getting Infected with ad Copy." There is so much that people that are looking for this kind of guidience could easily get distracted and spend 7 year of their lives following hype. Thanks for the space to share. Rb.
Posted by: Robert B | 6:26 AM
Hi Eben,
I am so glad to here that it took you seven years before you actually started to the learn the basic skills needed to build an online business
It helps me, because it has taken me a minimum of three years to get the courage and belief to be able to learn and figure out all of the basic skills needed to build an online business.
But I still need help and SUPPORT to actually make any money and keep on track etc.
I have applied to see if I can win your Scholarship.
I going by the above video I still have loads to learn to guarantee my online success.
I think it would be a great idea to do something on THE PSYCHOLOGY OF MONEY, WEALTH AND WEALTH ATRACTION
IGNITION looks like a GREAT opportunity for an individual to build an online business, and going by my own personal experiences so far I think You have all the bases covered.
Kindest Regards
Andy

You are right on track with your offering. Please don't underestimate the importance of having someone like yourself not just show us the step by step process, but include a process to keep us accountable as well.
I feel the reason I have not experienced the level of success in my life is two-fold:
1. No mentor to show me the way.
2. No coach to keep me accountable and help me track and confirm progress, and make adjustments if off course.
Thanks!

Hello Eben
I think your ignition program would be of great value. During the alst 4 years or so I have tried several programs being offered by severl experts but it was really painful to convert any of thsoe to income making strategies.
Most of them lacked the primay steps for a person who is not computer savy( like myslef)to ignite the process.
I wish your prgram comes out with some simple easy to follow steps for a beginer to make the first $500 that would give him a moral booster to rise above the limitations.
ALso, sincerely hope that there are not going to be too many things at the same time making it overwhelming for the begineres.
For me and I think for several other, making the first $500 through internet is a challenge.
I work as a certified business coach but I am still stuck in creating an internet presence.
I am really looking forward to your prograsm and I hope you owul have some payment options as well to amke it affordable?
Thanks and best regarsd

Dear Eben,
I believe you have most of the subjects that your program is going to cover well versed.
I would really like to participate but unfortunately the cost is high for me at this time.
There are many things that I have to learn about selling through the Internet.
If you are interested in my worries as a newbie, they would be:
Drop shipping, because of the potential I see of being able to sale somebody else's stock.
Correct diversification of products for my store. That is selling the products that do sell.
How to be able to give the best prices. Getting the best cost would be an answer. But how do I do that?
Making an independent store. That is not getting trapped by the provider of the store to a time frame of service or being unable to sale what I want or to move my store somewhere else if I want.
How to get enough traffic to my sites w/o having to pay per click would be some of my worries.
I am really at the beginning of this business so my understanding might not be ideal.
I hope these ideas help you and of course I would appreciate to hear some answers from you.

dear Eban,
as a brand new newbie looking for training on the most auto-pilot type business, i would not want the other parts of the course i don't need, so it would be great for me to purchase just the part i need as i don't want to be a freelance writer. I wouldn't want that part of the course. Just wondering how you are going to package this so we only get what were interested in.
thanks! Joni Depies
Posted by: Joni | 1:07 AM
Hi Eban,
It sounds to me that in your usual style you have covered all the bases here. The are a few things I would comment on possibly adding, one of which would be a tutorial course in the DreamWeaver application software. This is one of the things that has stopped me from moving on myself, the inability to create a first class, simple, highly functional website. The site I envision is cost prohibitive for me at this time, so I would like to learn how to do it myself without going back to college for that Computer Science degree..lol. Or if you know of a very experienced, talented web designer who would accept payment from profits until paid rather than up front, that would also be a workable solution.
Just another thought along these lines....you could create a space where your students who obviously have varied skills, expertise and interest could barter with each other in exchange for their unique talents and gifts. Either by trading information and know how to offering discounts to them exclusively for their involvement or just for the satisfaction obtained from helping another who is on the same journey. The thing about starting a new business venture is that we have not made the money yet, and things are sooo expensive these days. This way we could all help each other and voice our needs and struggles and may be helped by another who knows the answer or has the experience that one is seeking at the time. This class could be bonded and united by a common goal, and who knows what friendships, partnerships and affiliations could develop. That way at least we will not be left alone after the class to fend and figure out challenges for ourselves which may take very valuable time away. If nothing else, just the emotional support to be involved in a group with a common desire and similar challenges would be very worthwhile when or if one of us get discouraged. You can mentor this first class group of beginners and witness first hand our successes and challenges. We can grow together, bond together, share knowledge and experience and help each other become enormously successful. Everyone wins!!
Also, I would like to know how to get that website on the first or top page of the search engines. I do hope you include that knowledge as well. It matters little how nice your site is if no one knows it exist...lol.
Also,I would just like to suggest after each seminar or course training you could possibly allow for a Q&A time. Will you also be available for questions that come up down the road, after the fact?
Have you ever considered joining in a partnership with those people on this journey you feel will be very successful and are aligned with their thoughts and mission? Basically, a vested interest, an always available partner where you can help the newbie one on one become successful by holding hands with them and walking with them until they are self sufficient and you receive a percentage of the profits generated from such an endeavor for a time frame to be decided between the two of you? How could one lose with you as their partner?? This could be a possible solution for you and another in the future that could produce yet another ongoing income stream for you while giving your student the confidence and security of working intimately with another who can help make that happen because you basically will have that vested interest for more than a weekend. This could also be a good way for a person who can’t afford your services to obtain your services, if you so choose. It’s just a thought and yet another possibility! You have a whole pool of like minded, talented, motivated and inspired group of people to choose from….:)
Other than these thoughts, I am sure that you have been very thorough and the course will be nothing short of excellent!
Best of luck to you Eben, although I can see you don't rely on luck...:) That is what the deciding factor has been in your success, I am quite sure! You do your homework, and it shows. I would be very honored to learn from such a diligent and passionate teacher such as yourself who has studied and mastered the knowledge and expertise that I need to further my own dreams that I do not possess currently. I do hope that that dream will be soon be my reality. God Bless you Eben…

Hi Eben,
Perhaps a way we can discover what we want to sell on-line ? The thought process.... How can we clarify this with ourselves ?
I don't know what to sell on-line. How will I know after I learn Ignition ?
Posted by: Rai | 1:43 PM
Info on the basics of incorporating, DBA etc would be nice.
Posted by: Matt Johnson | 4:09 PM
Hi Eben,
Sounds like a program long overdue. Only two concerns.
#1 That the topics covered will be in enought depth that a person with no knowledge about building an online business will be able to start.
#2 That it will be reasonably priced.
Posted by: Alex Rabinovich | 12:17 AM
I feel your ignition program should also include the following:
sources and recommendations on free and payfor software for web/blog building, auto responders,marketing, monetizing, niche identification, list building and clarify what is Necessary and what is a desireable extra. Cost is important as you are just selling a training program, available elsewhere, eg, Internet Marketing Center, and we need to buy other things. The dreaded budget. Regarding your wealth building program. There are a lot of them around. Why you? What is so special about your approach? What about balanced living? A lot of us get but are ultimately are never satisfied and what are your qualifications to talk about that most important part of our lives. It is not about things and what others think of you is it? So how can you integrate that personal growth in a believable and helpful way? At a reasonable price? We have a country and a world that needs leaders, not those who will re-invent the wheel in yet another clever marketing format. Think on that Eben and I trust that will be useful and supporting of who you really are. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Bob T
Posted by: Bob T | 8:05 AM
I like the idea of the psychology of building wealth. I just hope that part of the package is offered in conjuction with learning how to buy and sell online. I do not want the wealth-building info held until the end. i really want to improve my mindset.
I hope that the things you teach will be actionable and understandable.
I have strong internet skills and my husband has a Ph.D. in psychology so he can be an expert on mental health issue. I am looking to start selling more online. It just seems so out of reach. I hope your program can help bring ecommerce success closer, quickly; looks like there is at least a 2 week lead time before making money is possible. I am thinking of taking a chance on this course. I am just tired of being disappointed.
Posted by: Rene | 4:22 AM
Hi Eben i am pretty green to the internet business concept and am not sure about it as i have been bombarded by all these individuals claiming to know everything, Marlon sanders, Ewen chia,Mike Rassmussen etc and the list goes on. Now i sure don't claim to be the sharpest knife in the drawer but just exactly what education level does one need to make something like this work. First off market what? How do you find something reputable, and how can you be assured of payment its not like you can callthe computer police or take them to small claims which is a joke in itself. I really do want to do this but am basically terrified of flushing more $$$ that is hard to come by down the drain. You appear to be the most sincere person i have come across so far, my friend David Gawain steered me your way.

Hi Eben , it sounds pretty much like you have everything coverd to get people started in the internet buisiness. If the program fits any buisiness type it would be very helpfull . Im thinking of creating a website to sell my electronic dance music( im a producer )instead of other record lables making all the money i can make 100 % of the profit kind of like a digital record lable and i dont know were to start tho. Knowing how to make my site come up when people search in yahoo etc would be great and knowing how to even put all the website together and all those getting started things . Yeh so knowing how to promote the buisiness / myself would be half the battle .
