Artificial intelligence (AI) is a competitive tool that many of your colleagues will be utilizing in their online business. This technology has created a deep divide among those who are all in on it versus those who abhor it and won’t touch it.
Both of these extremes are wrong, and you should strive to fall somewhere in the middle – being open to the use of AI tools, yet cautious about how (and when) you leverage them.

As a business owner, one of your main tasks is managing customers. You have to take care of their needs and problems, answer their questions, and make sure you maintain the relationship you have with them.
Treat your customers right and they’ll return to you time and time again. This is something you can systematize. Create checklists for yourself so you can be sure you’ve covered all of your bases.
As part of managing your customers, you’ll personally connect with customers via email, possibly set up a help desk, connect on social media, pay attention to their needs and desires, create products that help them, promote products that help them, and more.
Depending on your business model, you might handle all of this yourself. I try to do as much of this myself as I possibly can. Or, you might hire someone to help you do some or all of these tasks.
Reddit user ShogunSpirit4 (we’ll call them SS4) reports they lost $90,000 because of a developer they found on Fiverr.
SS4 hired a developer to create a website that could accept payments via QR code or by entering their credit card number.
As far as SS4 knew, everything was fine and dandy. That is, until they did an audit and realized funds were missing.
It seems the developer swapped out the QR code for his own. Customers who used a QR code were paying the developer, not the site owner. And the developer was savvy enough to install a backdoor through which he sent payment confirmation and access codes to the customers, making everything appear legitimate.
The total amount of money lost was $90,000 and the developer is nowhere to be found.
How might you prevent this from happening to you?
Your first answer might be to never hire strangers, but you can quickly see the problem with this. Everyone is a stranger until you get to know them, and if you never get to know anyone new then you’re going to be quite limited in business and in life.
A few suggestions:
Being just a little bit paranoid at all times is a good thing. This is your mode of income we’re talking about, the very money that allows you to have a roof over your head and food on your table.
Be vigilant and keep tabs on the numbers like your livelihood depends upon it, because frankly, it does.
If you’re not at the stage with your online business where you’re selling anything yet, don’t worry because you can build this into what you’re planning to do.
It’s simple, I use it in my own business and since I’ve been doing it my average sale value has risen significantly.

So, let’s take a quick look at how I set up my training program using this model, which is the exact checklist of steps that I recommend you use as well.

Hour-By-Hour Breakdown For 72 Hours Or Less Completion
Before we begin, let me explain what I mean by “72 hours or less”. I mean, you can have your training program created and ready to take orders in 3 days of working approximately 8 hours each day.
You aren’t literally going to work “72 hours”. J It’s more like “24 hours or less.” J
