October 07, 2009, Santa Maria, California -- As anyone whose followed the news knows, unemployment rates in September rose to the highest in 26 years.
In promoting its new work from home study course (The Overnight SEO Consultant, list price $497) a small California-based business author and consultant is taking the radical approach of giving away $4 million worth of their training course-10,000 memberships-to interested people at a price to defray bandwidth expenses ($1 each membership).
"No one's making any money on the front of this giveaway," said author and consultant Andre Bell. "I'm turning my back on trying to earn any money from the sale of this product to celebrate and show support for National Disability Employment Awareness Month."
"More than 7 million people are unemployed right now including many with disabilities. Having seen several family members deal with the unique challenges of disabilities over the years I can imagine how tough things are right now in today's economy.
This course teaches how to work from home in a unique area of consulting to local companies. We're not hiding any overhead in the $1 deal. This is a huge course. The $1 is to cover bandwidth to keep the site live once the site approaches server limits. We see this as primarily a word-of-mouth course, and we're convinced the average person who participates in the course will recommend it to two or three friends. So everyone wins."
The rules of the promotion are straight forward:
- The promotion offer is open to disabled individuals, whether currently employed or unemployed
- Access to the course or course materials may not be shared or given away to others
- Membership is limited to access to course materials. Membership does not include free consulting or one-on-one coaching to individual students.
All proceeds in excess of web hosting expenses and expenses associated with digital delivery from the promotion will be donated to charity.
Enrollment into the course is available through a special link at http://www.
Once enrollment limit has been reached the enrollment link will be disabled.
