Marlene MaheuCreate Passive Income with Online Self-Help Products
Dr. Marlene M. Maheu
 
The Internet provides worldwide access to 2 billion people interested in self-help, but most online self-help materials aren't developed by us because we lack business training.
 
What about the 5.6 billion people using cell phones? How might we learn to access them, even if they never will come in for counseling, therapy or medication?  

As an online practice-builder as well as stand alone source of passive income, online product development offers us an opportunity of a lifetime -- carpe diem, now!

This fast-moving, get-to-the point workshop will give you the skills and know-how to get started, write a quick business plan, and help you find the help you might need at the most affordable price. Also earn 3-CEUs while learning this information!

Dr. Maheu will draw upon almost 2 decades of online experience to help you get started toward passive financial success
