Please note: Buying, building and renovating websites is a technical process and although we are very experienced, no one can guarantee that there will be an absolutely trouble free buy, build or renovation. We also cannot make any guarantees that your website will rank highly in search engines, generate traffic or generate income (no-one can guarantee search engine rankings). We will provide assistance to the best of our ability, but please make careful note of the following:

You will need to create the content and images and you will need to provide your own domain name and hosting
You are responsible for doing your own website due diligence when buying websites – you will need to do your own due diligence, we cannot do it for you. We can offer experienced guidance and education on website due diligence but we are not responsible for any success or failure you may have as a result of website due diligence.
You need to build the site on WordPress and you should ideally use one of the themes we recommend in the Champions Program

Please note that results and earnings mentioned in The Champions Program are not typical. Where specific income figures are used and attributed to an individual or business, those persons or business have earned that amount and those figures are used as illustration and example only. There is no assurance you’ll do as well. If you rely upon figures, you must accept the risk of not doing as well.
