Rich Sage Underground

Today I setup the Rich Sage Underground Academy. Note that this area will be password protected in the future. The “Underground” as I will call it, will feature a forum area providing the main interaction between my students and the company staff, who will help the students build their business according to the business plan that I’ve setup. In addition to the forum, there is also a blog area where the students can collect the most informative posts, and their own work. There is also an area where projects that the company is working on can be featured.

The purpose of this subscriber only area is to:

• Help students learn how to monetize their part of the online community.
• Participate with our staff, myself and each other to build the community.
• Participate with each other to learn about the tools and services to benefit clients.
• Help make our products, services and tools better.
• Lastly, to help the students build a substantial income from their own home based business.

Software benefits continued…

Using the software, students can present their own blogs, within the forum, where specific information is collected for their benefit and review by other students.

If you are looking at these images and think that are very familiar, you should be. This is vBulletin, which I am finding to be a very versatile program. When I purchased the program for a forum, my FREE Ad Forum, I also found out that the program has two modules –a blog and product setup module that aide much more communication between participants in the forum.

This discovery was rather timely because I was searching for the perfect software to teach my Rich Sage Underground classes. This software, protected by DLGuard which manages the membership, creates the perfect combination for me to create and manage a membership site.

The benefit of having a project management area is to:

• Discuss the benefits of each projects.
• Discuss at length with the students (& future Affiliates) the projects & benefits.
• Get feedback regarding features that need to be added or modified.
• Understand how to improve a product.

I think knowing the above information is key to running a successful company. The name of the game is that we must innovate or die a slow death.

I have to do everything to be able to innovate daily. Having this suite of software running 24/7 will go a long way towards reaching that goal for the benefit of the company, our Affiliates and the Clients we’ll serve.

Carpe Diem,
Rich Sage
