Those who wish, register for the courses! I repeat. You do not pay anything for registration! The first lesson is free for you! If you want to continue learning and develop areas and increase your passive income while learning, then you pay for training monthly.

One user of the site has already registered, he gets a 90% discount on the full payment for training of $ 100 per month. There are 9 places left with a discount of 90-95%. 95% is a discount for those who are my referrals, for non-referrals the discount is 90%. So, by registering now, you will pay for training only $ 10 per month for non-referrals and $ 5 per month for those who are my referrals.

Additional information!

You can have an even greater discount of 50% of your payment if you bring a friend to the group who registers and then pays for registration. Even more, for each such friend, you get a 50% discount on the amount that you will pay monthly. For example, you have registered now and are my referral, you are given a 95% discount on the cost of the courses, this means that for each month of training you will pay 5 dollars. You brought a friend who registered and paid for training after the first lesson, for this you will have another 50% discount, in total you will pay only 2 dollars and 50 cents per month for training. If you brought another friend of yours and he registered and after the first lesson paid for the next training, you will have another 50% discount, in total you will pay 1 dollar and 25 cents per month. And so on ad infinitum. If your referred friend stops paying for training in the future, your discount is deducted from you monthly. The 50% discount for a referred friend is valid for any amount. You can thus increase your payment for training to 1 cent per month.

In order for you to receive a discount for a friend. Before registering for your friend's courses, you must write to me that this friend of yours will be registered. When your friend registers, he must write to me that he came from you. If these conditions are met, you get a 50% discount.

So, I repeat, there are 9 places left at the maximum discount! Those who wish, register!
