Hello, guys. Glad to have you all here again. 
Today, we are going to be doing something unusual, we are going to be reviewing digital service.
it’s the Teaching Business Catalyst by Kris Amerikos. 
It is a very wide course and it claims to be one of the best of its kind in terms of training inexperienced and even experienced teachers for that matter. 
The training program is meticulously divided into 6 part and even includes action based homework, which is great in face, if we are being objective. 
The program costs $2,000, 
and here’s the best and interesting part- it promises and almost guarantees getting a client within the first month of completing the training. 
However, one needs not be a rocket scientist to know that like every other course which costs a lot and makes juicy promises, 
the Teaching Business Catalyst by Kris Amerikos receives its fair share of backlashing, 
yet still, Kris Amerikos has thousands of good reviews uploaded online by his former students, 
and has amassed followers from all his social media pages, 
he seems really popular which makes everything all the more confusing. 
Is his course as amazing as it sounds? 
Does it deliver on its promises? 
Should you go for it if interested? 
Are the backlashes and the ‘hate’ veritable? 
I’m sure these are the questions roaming our minds. 
Not to worry, I got you. 
Also, you may be wondering why exactly I’m going through all the trouble of doing a review of this course.
Firstly, it would interest you to know I actually took the course myself and I want to share the results, coming from a student of the course, 
this review is veritable, trust me. 
I know several people who want to plunge into the teaching industry as an independent teacher 
and they’ll definitely like to know about my experience.
I have really taken the time to go online and I’ve realized that there aren’t a lot of balanced, in-depth, insightful and unbiased reviews, 
so this is me filling the gap. 
Now, a lot of people may go ‘oh, just tell us if it’s a scam or it’s legit’ ‘just a yes, it is cool’ or a ‘no, it’s a scam will suffice’, 
So, here are the steps I would be taking to properly review this course. 
First, I would give a detailed and breakdown analysis of the course. 
The good, the bad and the ugly of all this course has to offer. 
Secondly, we would be discussing and understanding who this course is actually meant for 
and if it succeeds in that regard. 
And finally, I would be giving an honest account of my experiences taking the course and how it has impacted my life. 
Now, let’s begin. 
First off, to properly ascertain if a product or service is good and effective, 
we have to put a spotlight on all it promises to deliver and judge it based on that. 
Reasonable, right? 
So, let’s take a look at all the Teaching Business Catalyst claims to be and we go from there. 
Quoting verbatim from the programs landing page, it says
‘’How to make $100,000 as a teacher without working 40+ hours a week in a traditional teaching job. 
Exclusive Free Training with Kris Amerikos. 
How to start a teaching business from scratch
How to specialize and find a target audience
The secret weapon all 1% teachers must have
Getting clients made effortlessly simple. ‘’
Sounds juicy, right? Well, now that we know all the course claims to achieve and offer, 
we have a more solid foundation to review it and know if it actually delivers or if it is a waste of time. 
Teaching Business Catalyst: The Good, Bad and Ugly
To provide a more detailed review, I have broken it down to several parts, namely:
So, let’s go into the course’s DESIGN AND PRODUCTION which is rated A by the way. 
What do I think about this? 
In my opinion, I don’t see anything so great in the design of the page I just showed you earlier, 
I mean, I guess it looks okay, but that’s just it, most other pages have one just like that. 
Considering the fact that the course charges $2,000, the design could be a lot better. 
However, when you get into the course proper, 
things look a bit better. 
Everything appears crisp, professional and truly top-notch. 
The videos are in HD and the recordings of Kris are crystal clear, 
easy to understand and follow and truly professionally done. 
The downloads as well are in well-designed PDF’s. 
Now, take my word for it, I have enrolled for course which cost me up to $2,000 or more, 
and I can say confidently that this is one of the best when it comes to design, aesthetics and user-friendliness. 
Of course, this has absolutely nothing to do with the course itself. 
When you pay  whooping $2,000 for a course, 
you couldn’t care less about the aesthetics or design of the pages or PDF’s for that matter but a lot of courses with the same fees have awful looking designs 
and are not professionally created so it is nice to see one where a bit more attention was paid to the design. 
Now, to the CORE CONTENT. 
Of course, this is the most important part of this review or any other review for that matter- the content of the subject matter. 
So does the content deliver?
First, these are the processes of the Kris Amerikos’ teaching
 Attract your target audience using free and paid methods
Get their email and other contact information
Have the schedule a consultation with you
Engage them, train them and close them during the consultation. 
That right there is the core process, the core itself of Kris Amerikos’ teaching. 
I know what you are thinking. You are probably saying to yourself, that’s it? 
Is that all there is? Well, that isn’t so fantastic. 
Well, you are absolutely right! 
In essence, there is nothing so groundbreaking in the teaching model. 
In fact, several other competitors use these same processes to teach their course. 
However, Kris Amerikos’ model is a lot broader and in-depth compared to other courses of its kind. 
He covers all of the steps with more inside knowledge, uniqueness and varying amounts of effectiveness. 
Now, to properly review the content, I cannot just treat it wholly, I need to go one section at a time, so let’s go. 
SECTION 1- GETTING STARTED – RATED B+
Actually, very objectively, this section is very generic as far as courses go. 
Very basic, you can see the contents of this section in a random business or marketing book. Marketing, niches, etc. it’s the same thing. 
However, it is very important to not pass this up as basic. 
To succeed in any industry actually, 
you have to be versed in these stuff, 
no knowledge is ever enough. 
Also as far as the course content goes,
 to understand the later sections, 
you have to have assimilated and understood these first parts well, they are all interrelated. 
You cannot take one in isolation. 
And because I didn’t skip it, it made all the difference which I’ll reveal later on. 
One of the biggest problems with this section is that is tells you what about various niches, 
but doesn’t advice or tell you which exactly to pick and why is this problematic? 
Well, because most people pay the high fees because they rely on Kris’s experience in the field. 
They expect him to tell them which niche works best from his experience but none of that happens and it may leave some students confused.
As for me,  however, I realized that he didn’t have to spell out which niche to go into because his students are from all over the world and as such, 
he can’t spell out what each person needs to do, 
besides, if he did that, it would no longer be YOUR business and this may cause problems. 
However, I still understand why some people may have problems with that, but I personally didn’t. 
SECTION 2- THE MARKET- RATED C
One thing you know instantly from following Kris Amerikos for a while is that he can be incredibly philosophical. 
This sectioned is designed to enlighten students on understanding the market structure around the teaching industry and the big players,
 the who’s who that influences things. Ofcourse, as you may imagine this focuses mainly on ESL/TEFL sphere. 
Now it can actually accurately be said that what Kris teaches here could actually be applied in any other teaching sphere but as usual, 
Kris makes a more in-depth focus,
 gives almost exclusive examples from the ESL/TEFL industry. 
However, if you do not have experience in this sphere, you may be disconnected from the whole thing 
SECTION 3- CREATING YOUR PRODUCT – RATED A
but for me, I found it extremely useful. 
In this section, Kris shows you how to create products, price them and deliver on them with some free tools.
An interesting thing about this section is how Kris sheds light on the fact that you don’t have to create a product before you sell it, 
it can be the other way around. 
This was a refreshing turn of events and very helpful and enlightening. 
Another awesome thing this section entails is differentiating value based products from time based products 
and how to make the transition from teaching one-one one classes on Skype or other platforms, 
for me this particular section was totally worth the admission fee!
This section deals with selling yourself and getting client in itself. 
Kris begins this section by saying it alone is worth the price of admission, 
and I have heard the same statement in countless other courses, webinars, seminars etc., 
but by far, this is one of those instances where it is true. 
Usually, people suck at sales and that is why this section is incredible. 
Although most of the strategies were just pulled of the internet or sales books, 
but Kris owned it and even gives a well detailed sales script. 
Kris’s teaching on sales was on a broader spectrum, very vast, rich and robust. 
He was very successful in coining strategies from other teaching, adding his own and making it his. 
Very rare skill, but it is all for the good of the participants. 
 Trust me, I know. 
I was once in a sales job one time in my life, and through that experience,
 I have come to understand that sales is a very important part of business. 
The great thing about mastering sales is that no matter your business, 
no matter your field or industry, sales comes in handy all the time.  
So is important that your learn it, I really enjoyed this particular section,
 it has been very useful for me in application. 
Ability to make sales is the determining factor between walking away empty handed and walking away with new clients on your belt. 
Kris Amerikos successfully executed this section well, and for that reason, I am giving it a solid A+
