Unit 4 - FAQs

How long will it take me to complete this course?

I have designed this course so you can get results FAST. How long it will take will depend on how much you prioritize this course, how fast you work and how much time you are willing to give it per day. But to give you an idea, if you were to do 1 hour per day of this course, it should take about 2 weeks to finish (including doing all the assignments).

If, on the other hand, you were to make this course your top priority and do nothing but this course, you could probably complete it in about 3-4 days (including doing all the assignments).


Do I have to have a blog to do this course?

I have carefully designed this course with the specific needs of bloggers and online business owners in mind. It's perfect for anyone who is running an online business of any type. That could be a blog, but it could also be a digital product based business, an online course based business, a service based business, a membership based business... really anyone who owns a small to medium-sized digital business.

A lot of the lessons and principles in this course would also benefit other types of business owners - for example, brick-and-mortar business owners or founders of much larger companies, but I haven't designed this course with the specific needs of those groups in mind.


I've really struggled with productivity in the past, will this course work for me?

That depends. Are you willing to trust in the process and do the work?

If you are willing to trust in the process and do the work, then there is absolutely no reason why this course won't work for you. But if you are looking for a course that will somehow magically make you more productive with no effort, then I can guarantee this course won't work for you.

Ultimately, whether this course will work for you or not comes down to an choice... are you willing to make it work? If you are, then you really cannot fail!


Will there be any additional costs or hidden charges?

No! This course is all you need... and a willingness to to the work.

There's nothing else you need to buy.


Can I do this course in any order?

Absolutely NOT! I have deliberately created this course in a specific order, as I strongly believe it's the best order. I also assume knowledge from previous units as you progress through the course and I assume that you have done the assignments in the previous units too! 

One of the strengths of this course is that it is a SYSTEM - a step by step guided approach to helping you to become more productive and your business to become more profitable. And that's why it's so important to do the course in the right order.


Is there any benefit to doing this course but not doing the assignments?

Nope - you will only see results from this course if you do the assignments too!


Is this course just a rehash of all the advice on your website?

Absolutely not! This course is so much more than I could ever give in my blog posts…

The real beauty of this course (and indeed any good course) is it’s not just a bunch of useful tips, but rather it’s a step by step system that takes you on a complete journey from where you are today to where you truly want to be, via a mix of videos, worksheets, assignments and a dedicated support group.

There is just no way I could achieve even one tenth of all of that in blog posts, but a course allows me to do so much more!


Is the course suitable for beginners / experienced online business owners?

Yes! The course is designed to help bloggers and online business owners at all levels of experience. The course guides you through creating your own personalized roadmap to greater profitability and productivity, based on your own unique situation, goals and personality. So, whether you're just starting out or have been in business for years, the strategies taught in the course can help you achieve greater productivity and success.


Will I receive any one-on-one coaching or support?

While the course DOES NOT include one-on-one coaching, as a Profitable Productivity student you will have access to my private students-only support group where you can ask questions, share successes, and connect with other like-minded online business owners.

I’m in the group most days (apart from when I am on vacation) to offer personalized guidance and support on all aspects of the course: answering your questions, giving feedback on your assignments, sharing additional tips and strategies, and celebrating your wins.


What if I have a question that isn't covered in the course materials?

That’s what the students-only support group is for! Any time you have a question, you can hop into the group and get a personal reply from me.


Does this course push a particular monetization strategy?

No, Profitable Productivity isn’t about pushing any specific monetization method… the whole course is about you creating your own personal plan that works for you and your unique situation.

That said, if you want my advice regarding which monetization strategy to pursue, I’m more than happy to give you personalized advice on that via the students-only support group!


Is this course video lessons or just text?

It’s both! Every core lesson has a video version AND a complete (and nicely formatted!) transcript, so no matter what your preferred learning style is, I’ve got you covered!


Can I take the course on my mobile device?

Yes, the course is fully optimized for mobile devices, so you can access it on your phone or tablet. This makes it easy to learn and implement the strategies even when you're on the go.


When does the course start and finish?

The course starts now and never ends! It is a completely self-paced online course - you decide when you start and when you finish.

However, the sooner you do the course, the sooner you'll get the results... so I recommend you start ASAP!


How long do I have access to the course?

How does lifetime access sound? After enrolling, you have unlimited access to this course for as long as you like - across any and all devices you own.
