I sell 6 and 12 month leadership development programs to companies. I make 50% of the sale. At $50/mo per employee on the program, I make an extra $1000/mo at 40 employees. http://LIFELeadershipCorporate.com

Do you intend for the text to blink on your site? Because it blinks for me. Latest Safari.

I recorded what it looked like. You can see it here:

Interesting. It is not supposed to do that. I will look into it. Thank you for bringing it to my attention!

Whilst you're on it can you fix the LLR logo roundel not to have floating pixel cruft in the transparent areas (and poor cropping) and maybe provide a properly scaled WP logo - that anti-aliasing gives me the jitters ... just saying ...

Thanks! I have that stuff on my list already. I appreciate the feedback!

Is this your self-made content, or are you essentially an affiliate for someone else's course? Mind sharing a bit more how this works? Very interesting!
Re:Those making $1,000+/month on side projects – what did yo... by ClintFix on Tuesday January 06, 2015 @11:18AM (#8845054)
Affiliate, but I know all of the creators personally. We have a smattering of other leadership/personal development products as well.

Nice! Is this full time and you're making more than stated above - or are you part time and you are making ~1K / month as a side biz? Just curious about order of magnitude?

I am a mechanical engineer full time. I make ~3k/mo on the side with both the products listed on my site above and other leadership products.

I'd be happy to chat further. Hit me up on my website or on Twitter: @clintfix

Hi Clint,

This is an awesome project and it looks like the content you are providing is high quality and impactful! I would love to hear more about how you started gaining the initial content and how/why you structured the Courses (1&2) in the ways that you did.

Thanks,

Judging from what I've been exposed to from HR departments, this is a seriously underdeveloped area...

(I mean the content, not the selling of it.)

My specific content or the content that is normally available by other companies?
Re:Those making $1,000+/month on side projects – what did yo... by johansch on Tuesday January 06, 2015 @02:03PM (#8846253)
Sorry, I meant whatever I've been exposed to. Likely not that same as your content.

Oh ok. What were some of the best ones that you encountered? What do you think were some of the biggest shortcomings in the ones that you saw?
