 Rave Reviews
Here are some of our rave reviews from our members ... .

------------------

"Donna Gunter is THE expert for online marketing. Her OnlineBizU website has so many meaty resources for the online entrepreneur that there's no way you won't find what you need there. Her blog posts are filled with useful information that I don't have the time to ferret out for myself, and her classes and products are clear and useful. I'm glad that Donna dedicates herself to serving her customers so well, and


Sue Painter, Marketing Coach and Consultant

------------------

"I recently joined Donna Gunter - OnlineBizU.com membership and from day one have found simply loads of useful and valuable information to support my online business. What a generous lady to share so many 'trade secrets.' Thank you so much and keep the great information coming."


Caroline Nelson, Business Coach for Salons
NelsonBeautyBusinessManagement.com

------------------

"Look at the spring facelift your site got! I am loving the new, softer, rounder look and the colors do POP! Your care about keeping content fresh and your attention for detail is indicative of how you run your business."


Kathy Dannel Vitcak, Entrepreneur
KathyDV.com

------------------

"Thanks for hosting such a great OnlineBizU.com member call on Internet traffic for local business. One of the questions asked was whether this would be a business model for a consultant. You said it was, and I'm here to say it is, too! The list of directories you gave that provide listings for local business was invaluable. I didn't know about most of them! I never would have thought of Craigslist.com as a place to advertise. Also, the tip you gave about setting up a 'throw away' email address was pure gold. Not only will that prevent spam in my 'real' business mailbox, but I can set up email addresses for either different types of inquiries or from different sources. Not only can I help my clients with laser-targeted advertising, this is another way I can track the sources of my own traffic!"


Georgann McCrosson, Marketing Consultant

------------------

"I just finished listening to the members-only teleclass, Repurposing Profit Machine.  I soooo appreciate the value, content and clarity you put into everything you do!  The content was well worth paying for and you gave it away to OnlineBizU.com members for FREEEEEE!!!!  Your class was just as clear and to the point as your many articles and your handout was PHENOMENAL -- not one of those weak 1-page fill-in the blank sheets that some hosts use for their teleclasses -- yours is CHOCK FULL of the totally valuable content you shared within the call.  The whole topic of REPURPOSING work so we don't have to re-create the wheel is just so useful in and of itself and you broke it down into over 15 ways we can do it!!  HOORAY!!!  Thanks, as always, for being such an awesome resource!  You totally deserve your title as Queen of Online Biz Resources!  : ) 

 Stephanie Bell, Spirit Coach, Speaker, Author
GrowYourDivineSpirit.com

------------------

"Just wanted to thank you for a great teleclass. I dialed in because I needed help to structure my own teleclasses and your method of turning a previously written article into a teleseminar was especially appealing. You led us through some easy-to-follow steps - and I'm looking forward to trying them out for myself!  My membership at OnlineBizU is proving invaluable as I build my own business online - you're very generous with all the articles and resources you share - thank you!"  

Louise Barnes-Johnston, Business Accelerator & Coach
Frontline-Results.com

------------------

"Just wanted to let you know that you are brilliant! I'm fairly new here and have found so much helpful information already! I became a member of OBU and within a few days cancelled my memberships I was already a part of on other site(s). OBU offers SO much information and helpful products! You are so quick to answer any questions I post on the forums and you always give up to date information and guidance. I am so happy to be a part of OBU and am looking forward to seeing where my business goes from here! Thanks a million!!!"

------------------

"The uniqueness of what Donna offers is what is most impressive. She'll either have an idea or lead you to a source that no one else who might have a similar product is talking about. I LOVE having that kind of unrivaled information. I rate it as one of the top return's on investments for people who want to get more clients online." 

Pat Weber, America's #1 Coach for Introverts, Shy and Reluctant Who Sell,
