UncleHarry.com went live in 1997 selling appliance repair training programs. Since then, we have assisted many satisfied customers. Listen to two hours of on-line audio testimonials. We have focused our product line on the Platinum Program and Repair Wizard products - see my online catalog. At present, we’re generating an average sale of $1000 every 500 targeted views or approximately $2.00 per view. Obviously, this is a niche market. There are a great number of people looking for new careers. Present them with this opportunity and you can make money.

We have been using 1ShoppingCart.com for several years as our checkout system and our affiliate campaign manager. Their tutorials are very helpful and the 1ShoppingCart system is very stable and well-designed.

To date, we have discovered two primary and successful marketing areas for our programs:

• The first group is those striving to start a new career and search words like “appliance repair technician training”.
• The second group is more interested in starting their own business and search keywords like “appliance repair business opportunity”.
• Consequently, we have an affiliate campaign and landing page specific to each group. The media needed for each affiliate program is different. You’re welcome to join both our Technician Training Program and our Business Opportunity Program and promote both.

• I feel that the appliance repair business opportunity world is an untapped gold mine. Appliance repair is truly an unappreciated, but highly profitable, low capital start-up area.

The obvious keywords “appliance repair” are very general and generate a great amount of unqualified activity. A second very large group of tire kickers are those searching for free appliance repair help like “Kenmore washer repair”. I have wasted a fair amount of money playing in both those areas. Only a tiny percentage within these groups is interested in spending money for training or business opportunity. So be careful and don’t waste a lot of money here. Since starting a business or learning to become an appliance repair tech requires a lot of help from us, most potential buyers test our customer support system before buying. They like to be assured that we really do answer the phone. After fielding their various questions, we direct them back into the Shopping Cart System for purchase to ensure correct affiliate tracking. We don’t believe in playing games with your efforts. We treat our affiliates with the same care that we treat our new appliance repair technicians. (To familiarize yourself with typical technician questions, See FAQ.

• Predominantly male.
• 30 to 55 years old.
• Mechanical ability, hands-on, handyman, do-it-yourself type.
• A spouse is often involved in the program purchasing process.
• Often worried about money needed for advertising, inventory, new truck, and length of the start-up period.
• Worried about getting laid off or has been laid off.
• Few sales are impulsive. Generally the customer mulls over the decision for a few days.

In recent months we have begun posting repair videos on YouTube.com. See YouTube.com/UncleHarryTech . The videos have been generating a sizeable number of views. Interestingly, YouTube’s Insight demographics agree with what we have found. We have preliminary indications that redirects from these videos are creating a slight increase in traffic. This may be another great area for affiliate activity.

Overall, the bulk of our efforts are focused on assisting new appliance technicians and updating our online materials rather than putting our efforts into website marketing. Consequently, we feel that our affiliate campaign is key to our success. Successfully partnering with you and utilizing your efforts and expertise will generate targeted traffic to our website and income for both of us. If like most of my potential students, you would like to find out if we really answer the telephone, call me at 800-958-4430. I am looking forward to working with you.
