People build their own aircraft for many reasons—some because they want intimate knowledge of every nut and bolt in their aircraft.
Others feel the need to get off the ground and don’t have the cash to spend on a factory-built aircraft and want the least expensive option.

Marketing is a single point of failure in any business. It needs to be done, but it can be done inexpensively and very very well. As the business owner, you know your product or service better than anyone else.
You’ve probably had “consultants” call you. Some offer to get you to the first page of Google results for $1000 per month. Others will help you “buy” a search engine position by purchasing pay per click (PPC) ads or sponsored listings on the search engines.
Some SEO experts use methods that will get you blocked by search engines. Others will get you results only as long as you keep shelling out the cash. We teach you to get search engine traffic the old-fashioned way—accurately indexing good, quality content based on relevance, popularity and competition.
