Give your business a presence on the Internet.

Create your own single web page to promote
your products and services.

Create a full blown website like you see here.

Every business can benefit by having a presence on the Internet.

Why aren't you on the Internet?

Is it too hard, too costly or too time consuming?

Too hard – If you can create a document using a word processor and know how to copy and paste a file, then you already know most of what you need to know to put your business on the Internet.

Too costly – We can show you how you can have a web presence with what you already have and except for the cost of our course there is nothing more to pay. Even our website you see here costs just $5USD a month which is paid for many times over each month by the business it generates.

Too time consuming – It takes less time to do it yourself than it takes to have a meeting to discuss what you want with someone else. It take you less time to change your own web pages than it takes to have someone else do it. You save time and money, often thousands of dollars.

Our online course provides the following

  • Two levels so you only learn what you need to know.

  • How to create a simple web page and make it live on the Internet.

  • How to create a full blown web site like you see here.

  • We use free software so you don't have to pay for any software.

  • We share all details of all our contacts so you are in control.

  • You write you web pages so you are not tied into us for ongoing fees.

  • You update and change your website when it suits you.

  • You could have a live presence on the Internet in just a few hours.

The MyAds course is a Do-It-Yourself course. We provide you the knowledge to create and maintain you own web pages and website.

There two stages so that you only need to learn what you need to complete your objectives.

    Stage 1
    This stage provides the knowledge you need to create simple advertisements or web pages, and to upload those pages to the Internet for everyone to see.

    Stage 2
    Takes continues on from Stage 1 providing the skills to build and manage a larger web site.

By using the D.I.Y. approach you gain knowledge and save money. In fact, we believe that by doing it yourself, you can save thousands of dollars.

This is not a typical hypothetical course, but is based on real experience, using real suppliers. What you need to know, to build a real website. Further more, we do not tie you into us like many consultants. Once you have the knowledge, you are in control. Whilst we hope that you may use us for additional services, that is entirely up to you.

The course is run on a subscription basis. When you enrol in a course, you are provided with access to the course material for three months.

For those of you who are concerned that you might not have the ability or aptitude, we recommend you start with the Stage 1. This will show you if this Internet stuff is simply too hard for you. The knowledge gained in Stage 1 is required for Stage 2.

Some of you may be asking what else besides the cost of the course, do I have to pay for, or purchase.

All courses have been developed using free or Open Source software. The majority of the Online Connections website, all printed advertising material that we produce, word processing, spreadsheets and graphics is done using Open Source or free software. The same software that you can use to build your website and also use in your business for other purposes.

Other costs you may need to consider are the costs associated with having your web pages on the Internet. If you are happy to host your web pages with the same Internet Service Provider that you currently use to connect to the Internet, chances are that you are already paying for everything you need.

If you wish to run your website under your own business name (a domain name in Internet terms), then you will learn about these costs in Stage 2. We even show you a way you can use the .biz domain and host under your own business name for under $30 a year. We think that is great value.

We are excited about offering the MyAds course. Most professionals make an income by keeping their knowledge close to their chest and charging high fees. Our aim is to make an income by sharing our knowledge to a larger base of clients by using the Internet, and reduce the cost for everyone.

Stage 1

This stage provides the skills to transfer files from your computer to the Internet.
