The answer is yes!

Hi Everybody -

Thanks for stopping by and checking us out.

As you likely know, my name is Steve Strauss, and welcome to my Affordable Online Startup Course. 

You landed on this page because either you watched one of my SCORE webinars or saw one of my follow-up emails.

Not only do I think you will be really happy to discover what I am sharing here today, but I sincerely think it can help you get you from where you are now to the life  you would prefer  to lead . . . that is, 

  • having your own online business
  • being your own boss
  • making good money 
  • having fun, and having more freedom!


(And that is true whether the business you want to start is full-time, part-time, main hustle, side hustle, or whatever fits for you.)

Being your own boss. Doing what you love. Doesn't that sound better?

It sure was (is) for me. I hated having a bad job, working for a jerk boss, making crappy money. Frankly, my life needed a change, big time!

Since then, I have actually started four business, three of them online, and only owns a bust. 

And - important for our discussion - those online businesses were all started with minimal startup funds. 

But that didn't matter - they all still made great money!

For example, as you might have read in one of my emails,  I recently sold my website TheSelfEmployed.com to Mark Cuban  for well into the 6 figures. 



How much did I put up to start it? 

Nothing. 

Zilch. 

Zero. 

Instead, I had major corporations like eHealth and Web.com PAY ME to be part of it.

I tell you this, not to impress you, but to impress upon you that what I did, you can do too.

In fact, what I also know is that as opposed to starting some expensive brick-and-mortar store (been there, done that, sold that), creating an online business or side-hustle is cheaper, easier, faster, better, more fun, more exciting, and – maybe most importantly – more profitable.

My first online business was (is) my digital content company Strauss Syndication, (more info at MrAllBiz.com). It has been rocking it  since 2000. 

My second was the aforementioned TheSelfEmployed.com which, as mentioned, I recently sold for 6-figures. 

My most recent is PlanetSmallBusiness.com. 

I also have my hands in e-commerce and selling services. 



The point is, I know this world and want to share it with you. It is fun, it is lucrative, and truly, it does not have to be all that difficult. 

That said, does it take work? Yes. Sure. Of course it takes work. 

Anything of value takes work. This is not some Get Rich Quick Scheme. 

But, does it pay off? In my experience, yes. In the experience of my students, yes. Big time.

Together, we can do this.

“An excellent and well-thought out small business course that not only walks you through the necessary steps in the facilitation of an online startup business, but its principles can be applied to many different businesses, offline too.”

James G. Lewis, III

“The course was well organized with the topics covered. The guest speakers were right on point and what I needed to hear. Your course has been extremely helpful in motivating me to keep moving every day toward my goal for an ecommerce startup. I appreciate that you posted the videos on the website for the days I was unable to be there for the live course presentation. Thank you Steve!”

Questions & Answers

  • If I already have an idea for an online business, does Steve's program make sense for me?

    You bet. Part of online business is coming up with a great idea, yes. But just as important - How do you implement it (and quickly), and how do you get site visitors? We help with all that!

  • I have never started a business before. OK?

    Very OK. We will walk you through everything you need to know - and do! - in order to get up and running.

  • What if I can't get the business up and running right now, or even in a month?

    Actually, we designed the program with that in mind. All sessions will be recorded, and all material will be available for as long as you need it.

  • What if I am dissatisfied?

    Well, we highly doubt that 😀, but if so, no problem. If, after the 30 days, you are dissatisfied for whatever reason, you get 100% of your money back, 100% guaranteed. It's the 100% guarantee.

  • Is Steve the only expert we will be hearing from?

    Nope! He will be bringing in several online business entrepreneurs for you to learn from - e-commerce pros, selling on Etsy pros, and more!

  • What if I am not very technical?

    No worries. Lots of people get intimidated by the technical aspects of an online business, but here’s the deal: You can get started really easily, even with a single webpage in some circumstances. And if you need more, there are some amazing tools that I will show you that allow you to create a website easily, for free, and in minutes.

  • How do I know this will work for me?

    There are no guarantees in life (well, except for our money back guarantee! 😀 ) but the important thing to consider is that 1. This is a low-risk endeavor, and we designed it that way. Less risk = less pressure and that means, greater chance of success. More importantly, click around the Internet. All of those people had never started websites before and they figured it out. If they did, so can you, and you got something they did not have - Steve by your side, coaching you, advising you, helping you (and only cracking a few dumb jokes!)
