I have received a ton of douplicate questions about the new FREE 12 week internet marketing program I started last week.   Its been pretty wild and one of the first things I have ever done. So here is a list of frequently asked questions and answers about the program.
Question:Â Why did you make this program?
Answer: I made the program because I felt like there was a HUGE need for a newbie guide to internet marketing. One of the most common questions I always get is “Where do I start”. Now I have some place to point them.
Question:Â Who is this program designed for?
Answer: The program is designed for people completely new to internet marketing. There is a good chance your parents are a better fit for this program then you are ;).
Question: There is some really good stuff in there. Obviously you spent a lot of time on it. Why did you make it free?
Answer: I have always done well giving away good content. This blog is a great example. I wrote it for years without ever making a dime. Now it is a excellent source of revenue for me from advertisers and also a great launching pad for our other ventures. Giving away this course has already increased my RSS readership by about 30% in only the 2nd week.
Question: I am really skeptical about joining your program. I have been burned in the past by other make money online guru’s and its cost me thousands of dollars. How do I know you are legit?
Answer: You are very smart to be skeptical.  I can’t speak for these programs you have been burnt on but I can speak for myself. I have spent over 12 years working on the ShoeMoney brand building successful companies (not being a online guru). I plan on continueing that. I would advise you to do some quick research on any person behind the program, paid or not, before you sign up.
Question: Why do you make people wait 7 days between chapters? I want it all now!
Answer: Internet marketing is not something you can learn over night.  I give out a tremendous amount of information in these chapters and then assign you action items that I want you to do.
Question: Do you have any plans to translate it to other languages?
Answer: YES! So far we have had volunteers translate the course to Mandarin Chinese and Russian. If you would like to translate the course to your native language then use the contact us form and let us know!
Question: I heard some of the “gurus” were really upset that you put this out.
Answer:Â Well…Â I think it was more like people who paid thousands of dollars for many gurus programs were complaining my free course was much better and free.
Question: Why do your banners say 11 week course but its really a 12 week course?
Answer: Originally it was going to be a 7 week course…. then 8 then 9 then 11 and we had banners made… then when we launched I expanded it to 12 weeks. To be honest it could end up being longer then 12 weeks. I have thought of a lot more topics I want to cover.
Question: I heard you are not going to allow signups much longer. Is this true?
Answer: We will keep it open for registration for another week or so.. I really dont want to keep it open much longer. The reason being that people who started at the begining are almost on week 3 and while I can answer emails between weeks 1-3 it will be REALLY hard to do weeks 1-12!
Thanks and please let me know if you have more questions!
If you have not yet signed up for the course go here and signup now!
A 30% increase in RSS subscribers is awesome. You did have alot of help with the promotion of this and free is always good as well.
Im signed up, as even if I pick up 1 new thing it’ll be worth it.
Thanks shoe for the opportunity to take your 12 wk course for FREE. I have been following your blog for awhile now and I learn a lot. I am in week 2 and even got my whole family signed up for your course as well. My dad a Top computer programmer, I even talked him into signing up 🙂 They all think it’s a great program and really surprised it was FREE.
How many issues are out? I got the first one but have not seen the 2nd one yet. Thanks
Thank you for offering the 12 week free course for newbies. Good to see, you gonna teach your skills to guys to pay their bills.
Cool… Didn’t know it was free, awesomness! 🙂
I’ve been in Aff marketing for a while now, and I’m still finding useful tips in the first couple weeks. I’ve been trying to throw as many signups as I can to it.
The first two are pretty good. I can’t wait for the other ones to come out. Keep up the great work. Greg Ellison
Wow! Didn’t even know you had a free product. Going to grab it now!
thanks shoe
Thanks Jeremy – My dad, wife, mother-in-law, cousin… (most people!) still struggle to understand what it is I do after over 10 years in the industry… so solution – got them to sign up to your course – perfect! 🙂 cheers
I look forward to your future lessons with great anticipation.
This course is awesome so far. It really gives a newbie some ground to stand on and motivation to finally get cracking on these things.
Anyone who is skeptical feel free to follow my blog that I started to document my experiences with the program. You might even find my actions/mistakes useful for yourself!
so expect week 3 course.
and it’s the first time to notice jeremy will close the access of free membership. could i sign up some times and sell in the furture?
haha!
Somehow I doubt the free part…
I wouldn’t be surprised if it stays free. Its kind of like addicting people to cigarettes, you gotta give them a bit before they keep coming back. Assuming the guide works for people they will probably in turn join ShoeMoney Tools and potentially sign up as an affiliate under Shoe for various companies. I’m sure he also has some arrangement with the offers later on as to make use of them to generate some dough for all his hard work.
I can understand your doubt. But the most important thing to understand when you are into the internet marketing business is that you don’t always have to shell out hundreds and thousands, if you want quality information. Most of that is available online, if you know how to search for it.
If you are focused to your goal and are not spending lot of time surfing unnecessary things and have joined the right courses (free, of course) then you are on the right path.
As such, no education is a waste. You will learn something at least. The brand “SHOEMONEY” at least would ensure that you do.
Thanks Shoe – I’ve joined your tools program but canceled it because I’m not ready for it. I am following the course all the way to the end (just joined a few of the affiliate networks as stated in week 2) and am determined to become a successful affiliate marketer. I’m ready to invest the time and I’ve prepared several thousand dollars to invest in testing along the way.
The Q&A above is good to give an insight into the course that your are offering for free. I have been on the internet for about 2 years now and am earning well. But my problem is that this online business has only made a new job for me and I have to work on multiple sites to earn what I am earning. Though I am happy at least of the fact that I am not working for anybody else.
Having said that the reason why I joined your course is because I too want to build a brand of mine like you. You have always been a motivation to me and your tips and helping me.
I liked the quote you had made in one of the comments above “Not an online GURU”. There indeed is a difference between a Successful businessman and an Online GURU.
so expect week 3 course.I can understand your doubt. But the most important thing to understand when you are into the internet marketing business is that you don’t always have to shell out hundreds and thousands, if you want quality information

Hey, I think you are doing a great job teaching newbies how to make money online.
From time to time, I receive emails from my subscribers asking me how to start. Perhaps, I can let them know about your 12 week internet marketing program.
Cheers! 😉
Shoe – Very Interactive session i must say that. Yesterday only i finished reading Week 2 PDF talks about affiliate marketing and i want to share with every one that i have learned a lot from the same. Only thing i wanted share with you in open that you should have kept some fees for the same. In today’s world FREE things has no value Shoe, i am sure being such a Professional blogger you should take a note of that.
The first pdf was possibly the best intro’s to internet marketing I’ve ever read. Can’t wait for the second to come.
Second PDF was sent already buddy. I guess you have missed that, Did you checked your SPAM folder ??
One should not miss such a Professional Ebook written my Guru of blogging.
I wonder what kind of people had this doubt. Knowing shoemoney and reading this blog I had no second thoughts before joining this awesome program. I think 7 days is too less, you should give 2 weeks between the .pdfs, gives time to understand and implement.
This is awesome. Such valuable info and for free
I like when you answer our questions Shoe! Good stuff!
I new into blogging and cash making…
I only received the first issue of the X courses. Is it possible the Yahoo! spam filters are blocking new issues? The site could have a login with links to the issues. That would be helpful.
Yes, good for you Jerremy. I really like your program and the things you shared for online marketing. Actually almost no-one shares any information about his researches about this
it a very good course and would help others and i think another person saying that 7days is less yah i think more days r bettre
Yeah.This is really awsome.Need that too!Thnaks!
I love Q and A sessions makes you understand a lot of the things you were looking to understand the pieces sort of come together. Looking forward to more sessions.
Great, always say to my followers, it’s not the internet that will make you rich, it’s your knowledge and education about how to use the internet that will make you wealthy. And you must keep learning week in, week out.
Everyday we learn something new and you never knew that you are learning.
[…] has a new Internet Marketing program out, so today I went to his site to check it out. He has a Q&A about the program on his site. He has also made its own site for sign up along with the headlines of what to expect […]
Certainly this one is going to help a lot and if this is from you than percentage of success is very high as we assume.
I’ll definitely be taking advantage of this free report before you start charging for it. 😛
I liked reading the first chapter. When I first entered internet marketing four years ago, the people who introduced it to me tried to keep it secret and obfuscate much of the lingo. I quickly wrote a coreg site and did the whole LLC thing, spending nearly 3 grand in legal fees and licensing/hosting to get started. By my second year I was making about $500 a month from all organic traffic. I have been stuck ever since at a point of having two sites generating about the same amount every month with no advertising budget at all, and I am hoping the course will give me some insight on how to grow my traffic and revenue. Thank you for this program and I will do my best to complete assignments.
Shoemoney is going to become a REAL BIG BRAND in the future, coz it is working hard while being very honest and rewarding for its subscribers.
I give a 5 star rating ***** to this course. Every newbie must join.
Thanks a lot Shoe — waiting anxiously for your 3rd week’s tutorial.
Keep it UP!
Count me in.I can’t believe it is free.
Hey! unable to download your pdf file for Week 1!
I am glad you make it free Shoe! What a gift for newbies..
I did not believe my brother when he said it is a free course.I am glad he told me about it.One week gap is just perfect for me to digest each one.
I signed up but never recieved any chapters or PDF files. In the confirmation e-mail it said “will send the first chapter tomorrow” which is today. Wondering whats up?
I hope it is still open and also are you still running the affiliate program? I have a couple of lists for new marketers this could be perfect for.
I must agree you are making your points loud and clear. Simple format via question and answers. I would like you to charge a fee because nothing is free these days. People do not value freebies, no not anymore.

I just started your free course and I hope I can learn a lot from it. I already knew some of the stuff in week 1 but I think the information is very well written and organized.
As for the homework, I’m still stuck with the business name, but next week I will try to be up and running!
Thanks for this great opportunity to learn and improve my income.
I need some new shoes to.That why i found this on google!
I now need to network marketing knowledge, thank you!
