Turning Your Passion Into Profit

– Together

Our weekly interactive program enables part-time entrepreneurs with limited digital skills
to go from idea to launch in less than 3 months, all with the support of a collaborative community.

Do you dream of owning a business but you lack the know-how, step by step direction, and accountability to take action?

Do you have years of professional experience but taking these skills to the digital world seems overwhelming?

Do you have a business idea (or many) but don’t feel there’s enough time in the week to really give it a go?

Are you willing to learn, work hard, and take action 3 to 10 hours each week to make owning a business a reality?

Then SideStartupClub Is For You

Our club is a collection of individuals just like you who are determined to escape the time for money trap and finally capitalize on their overdue business dreams. Our members only program helps you achieve owning a profitable business by providing six essential benefits.

Collaborative with your peers in endless ways:
What do think of this logo?
Which revenue model makes more sense?
How does my website look? Do you like my tag line?
Which facebook ad best appeals to my market?
What other ways could I market this?
If you help me write my copy, I will help you design your website.

Personalized Consultation
Following your venture every step of the way, we offer our personalized advice on strategy, build, and next steps. Those willing to openly workshop their venture stand to receive loads of free support.

We don’t want our members to launch failed business, so we will be brutally honest when the business model is not making sense. Expect to be sent back to the drawing board or at least pivot your idea more than once!

We will even do some of your work for you as a demonstration to the class including business model development and build outs!

Build and Marketing Resources

Having the right digital tools and skills can save hundreds of hours of time and achieve truly professional results. Acquire the most essential resources for the lean entrepreneur.

From marketing membership services to the best wordpress plugins, there are digital tools and services to make each task a breeze. Here are a few different catagories or functions we will cover:

  • Different outsourcing platforms
  • See competitors’ facebook ads
  • Host and build a website for non-techies
  • Design templates for ads, websites, and email campaigns
  • Keyword research tools
  • SEO, Fb ads, content marketing, copy, Google ad words, Google analytics videos, articles, courses, and live training
Step by Step Structure
There is a method behind the madness of launching a business. Week by week we will take you through a proper sequence that will SIGNIFICANTLY reduce the risk of a failed product.

It can be overwhelming figuring out which task should be your focus at a given time. Should I start building a website or talking to friends about it? Do I work on my SEO or perfect the landing page?

Too often people want to jump ahead into a product launch without thoroughly researching and testing their business model. Simultaneously, there are several perfectionists out there that will never launch due to their endless attention to every last detail. Sidestartupclub is revolved around an agile startup approach. This means we quickly launch your product in small iterations in order to gain rapid direct market feedback on specific elements of the business model before working too far ahead in the wrong direction. This agile approach is how we find a balance between lack of due diligence and pointless perfectionism.

In this program, we will go through the steps week by week and you will know exactly what to be working on and why.

The instructor attended a graduate school that boasts an eight out of 10 startup success rate. Using this systematic approach, Trivago and Mr. Spex are just two notable companies that came out of this school.

Accountability
Let's face it, we love short term results. Launching an online business will take several consistent weeks of action, perseverance, and commitment. We provide accountability in various forms to battle even the best procrastinators.

Join our independent accountability program where we will message you to send us the results of each week’s task to be reviewed in class.

Or join our accountability team program in which you will be assigned to three other members in which you intimately collaborate and hold each other accountable.

Plus, the club itself and keeping up with the process is incentive by itself. Those who perform a given step of the launch process will only have the opportunity to get peer and instructor feedback.

The Core Live Session

(7:30 – 8:50 Central)

Each week, we'll move through a given step of the business model development process and then workshop it live as we apply it to your current business ventures.

Often a pre-recorded video will be sent before the session introducing the topic and providing some examples.

The opening of class will revolve around reviewing each other’s progress on the previous step. Then a discussion around the new topic, and then demonstrations/brainstorming sessions to apply it to various members’ ventures.

Each session will end with a detailed description of what the deliverable is for this step of the process and how to properly achieve it.

The Bonus Live Session

(7:30 – 8:30 Central)

For each step, we will dive in deeper, do more detailed live workshopping, explore the tools you need to perform a task, and bring in experts to give you deeper insights on a given topic.

For instance, if we are working on marketing strategies and various members need to learn how to systematically approach a facebook ad campaign, we will hold a specialized session for this topic to suppliment those members.

In this session, you will get the tools, skills,  and insights you need to move past theory and discussion and into practice and action.

When we aren’t busy learning to build websites, sales funnels, and practicing copy, we will bring in marketing experts and guest entrepreneurs as well as perform case studies to give you a more well rounded CEO outlook.

Any Other Day

(2 plus hrs)

Any other day, we strongly encourage p2p collaboration of a given task. Watch our session replays any time and utilize the resources we give you to dive in deeper where applicable.

We provide the forums and online meeting rooms for members to interact and collaborate.

We highly advise smaller group accountability programs and forming partnerships and exchange of services where ever practical.

We’ll mention this again… launching a business part time is much easier when you don’t go at it alone!

So what online business do you want to pursue?

Not sure yet? That’s OK!

We have a monthly workshop on idea generation and opportunity recognition. This workshop combined with the inspiration of current projects and discussions is bound to trigger your next big vision sooner than later. Plus check out this amazing limited time offer below!

Check out some of these testimonials from the instructor’s idea generation course:

I am a current business student myself, and even though some of the concepts of the course were familiar to me, the course remained highly valuable. Dalton is a great coach, he cuts through all the BS and delivers everything on point. He promised me at least three ideas before the course and delivered!

As of now I am developing one of the ideas of the course further. We had lots of fun during the classes, developing and brainstorming ideas together, applying concepts and giving feedback to each other. I recommend this course to everyone who wants to be an entrepreneur but struggles to come up with pursuable ideas.

Philip Düker, 28

HHL Graduate Student - Leipzig, Germany

Enrolling in 23 Startups was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It gave me the confidence and inspiration I needed to push my boundaries and realize there’s other options to life than spending 8 hours a day in a cubicle.

I left the class with countless great ideas, 2 of which I am actively pursuing. The course was fun, energetic and really eye opening. Dalton is a great instructor and made sure everyone fully grasped the concepts we learned over the weeks. I would recommend this course to anyone who has ever questioned the career path they’re on.

Regardless of where you’re at in life, having more options never hurts.

Alex Pas, 28

Sales Manager - Chicago

This course provides you with the tools and methodology to develop an innovative business idea and is the perfect precursor to building a team to successfully execute a business plan. I recommend 23startups for anyone lacking great business ideas and could use some general guidance from an experienced instructor. Regardless of your background or career aspirations, this course will be the catalyst that you need to put your startup ambitions in motion and teach you how to develop and present a compelling proposal.

It is not just a lecture spewing information at you, but an interactive atmosphere that provides constant feedback and direction. You can tell the instructor is very passionate about developing not only your ideas but you as an entrepreneur. 23startups has set me on a course for achieving my dreams of owning my own business and I will continue to use this resource as I maneuver through my career and creative endeavors.

Cam Bohorquez, 28

HR Specialist: Talent Acquisition - San Jose

The business ideas I used to come up with before joining this course were for one of two things – service related businesses like coaching or teaching, or what I now understand to be inventions. I was very limited in the scope of businesses I thought I could actually pursue.

After taking this course, I understand that an invention is an invention, and when it comes to startups there are infinite possibilities beyond teaching or coaching. It’s really amazing how many opportunities there are when you have these techniques in your back pocket. I’m now coming up with at least one new business idea every week. Not only that but identifying the different elements that other businesses are using has become almost like a game – it’s so fun to actually put what Dalton teaches into practice. Seriously it’s like coming up with a viable business option is no longer a problem – the new problem is which business is worth pursuing.

I work with hundreds of entrepreneurs and small business owners who are building their own online courses and I have to say this course was unique to others I’ve seen because Dalton adjusts every lecture to be relevant to the group of students he has and shows them examples specific to each individual in the class. It’s extremely personalized and when you see that he took the time to come up with a viable startup for you, you’re like wow, ok if he could do that I can probably come up with one too. He makes the classes fun and keeps all his examples current.

Hanna Woodside, 26

Education Coach - Traveler

(Consulting customer) – Dalton was incredibly helpful in formulating a business plan. He asked questions that helped me define what was once a vague idea, he invited pushback and counter-arguments to shifting the business model in a certain direction. Dalton also shared several resources and links relevant to my questions. Overall Dalton was friendly, encouraging, and I would strongly recommend his services to anyone considering entrepreneurship. Jack McCarthy, 21

Economics Student - Minnesota

I came into tonight thinking “This is great and all, but not really sure I can come up with an idea that I would be able to jump all in on” and left thinking “holy shit, this is so doable if you go about it the right way.” Student comment after week 2, "Copy Cat Method"

February 21, 2017

Before this course, I had no earthly idea about what it meant to start a business. I figured if you wanted to start one you had to invent something. I’m an English grad who works in logistics and entered the course with the mindset “I don’t love my job, but I can’t afford to drop everything and go to grad school. Why not check this out?” I had no idea what it meant to be an entrepreneur and even less of an idea about how to run a business.

This class completely 180’d my expectations of actually starting a business. As cheesy as it sounds, it’s the real deal. If you want to make the move from being a wantrapaneur to an entrepreneur, this course is the key. I now not only can recognize opportunities, but I know where to turn when it comes to execution and the next steps. I won the final competition for best innovative business idea and although I’m not at a point in my life to pursue it, I know that when the timing is right, there are plenty of opportunities out there to capitalize on and how to find them.

Will Conlon, 28

Logisitics Manager - Chicago

I was so inspired by our first meeting on Sunday, I posted my first ad on craigslist for my resume, interview, and negotiation coaching. I got my first client yesterday. I gotta thank you and the course cus I’ve been thinking of doing it for months but that night i was like quit thinking you jabroni and start DOING. Student comment after week 1, "Reframing mindset"
