From Donald Brown, Beaumont, TX:
I am a co-founder of a revolutionary Internet marketing
apprenticeship and coaching program for blind and visually
impaired people called the Blind Online Success System, or BOSS
for short. Our program focuses on helping those who are blind or
visually impaired to start and run an online business through
mentorship and coaching. Each participant goes through a core
curriculum of the many aspects of online marketing and business
operation.
We have been in existence since July 2007, and we have a
number of successful people who are still going through our
program. Every individual receives support, both in a group
setting as well as on an individual basis.
Our program is free to join, and we do not require money at
any time during the program. The Blind Online Success System was
developed because so many blind and visually impaired people find
it difficult to obtain employment.
Our program is self-paced, which means that individuals
aren't rushed through the learning process. The program itself
is a well-structured learning experience that rivals those being
offered by other marketers at a premium price. However, our
program is adapted for the blind and visually impaired in that we
test each tool for accessibility, and we make sure that all
techniques and strategies can be used by those who are blind or
visually impaired before we present them to the group.
BOSS is taught by myself, along with Jeff Wark and Lori
Steffen, who are my mentors. They have been in online marketing
for at least four years, and have the experience to educate
individuals on how to assemble and run an online business from
the ground up.
Our program is available to any blind or visually impaired
person who wishes to start an online business. We offer complete
support throughout every step of the learning process.
