The Roadmap 3.0 is Dead. Long Live The Roadmap Exclusive
Well, The Roadmap Exclusive has launched, but is it worth it? Since the Roadmap series of business development courses launched a little under 2 years ago, it has taken the internet by storm. It began as The Roadmap to Riches and quickly evolved into Roadmap 2.0 and 3.0, rising to become the number one online business course available. Yes, it heavily emphasizes online marketing, but anyone can use it to develop any form of business.
Why did it take off so fast? In my opinion, its uniqueness contributed to that rapid success. Straightforward and honest, it guided you step by step through the process in a very careful way. It made no assumptions about your level of knowledge and walked you through the entire process. However, it had one major flaw that played a part in both its success and downfall: Master Resell Rights.
Master Resell Rights and the Roadmap.
When Zach and Hannah Pippins launched it, they wanted to be open and fair, giving customers Master Resell Rights to sell the course. Amazing you would think and it was. The course was hosted on the Kajabi platform which Zach and Hannah took care of. All of the behind the scenes tech stuff that goes along with hosting a major player in the online course space was down to them. All the reseller had to do was promote the course. Then collect the $497 and pass the customer over to the platform.
The big problem with hosting a product for anyone who has the MRR licence is cost and time. The only income Zach and Hannah made from the Roadmap was from their own customers. They received nothing from other resellers. This was fine for them, Roadmap was never about the money, it was about changing lives.
Things Start to Get Murky.
The Roadmap soared when 2024 arrived, with many people earning significant money from this amazing course. They released Version 3.0, featuring new content and numerous revisions. Social media overflowed with exaggerated income claims, some true and some clearly false, from people promoting it. This led to many accusations of it being a scam, pyramid selling, or Multi-Level Marketing. Although none of these accusations were true, it didn’t matter; the integrity of their intellectual property suffered damage. They had to make some tough decisions.
Enter Roadmap Exclusive.
In late spring it was announced that the Roadmap 3.0 with MRR was coming to the end of it’s life. Changing Courses 11 had to regain full control over their product. They took the brave and massive step to completely rework the course adding new content and replacing MRR with a unique Affiliate program. Welcome Roadmap Exclusive selling at $597. With this affiliate system, the reseller keeps the client, but payments etc goes through Changing Courses 11 with an 80/20 commission split. Now, they get a small but fair share of each sale to run the back-end and keep full control over who sells it and at what price. The perfect solution.
First Impressions of Roadmap Exclusive Business Deveoplment Course.
Firstly, as a user of Roadmap 3.0, I was grandfathered into the new course for free. To me, this say’s so much about the business integrity of Zach and Hannah. Exclusive is very much based around the training offered in 3.0 but with mostly re-vamped and updated modules or buckets as they’re now called. Because the task of creating a whole new course was enourmous there are still some parts that are the same as 3.0, but these will be updated over the comming months.
I like the new layout and actually prefer it to the Kajabi site. For me, it’s way easier to navigate around and the search function is brilliant. Yes, we promoted 3.0, it would be stupid not too, but my main reason for investing in it was the education. Although completing it as everyone who promotes it should, I also use it almost daily to refresh my knowledge and simply look up and fine tune things. It is much easier to do this in Exclusive which is a big advantage.
It goes without saying that the course provides a standard and quality of training that is still second to none. Anyone who posts on TikTok claiming that it’s just a course to teach you to sell a course shows their ignorance. This is a fully-fledged business development course that teaches skills applicable in any business environment, not just online.
What Roadmap Exclusive isn’t.
If you’re looking for information on how to do 2 hour a day side hustles, save your money. Go to YouTube and get them for free. However, if you want to build a long term business with a firm foundation, you are exactly Exclusives target audience. I can’t overemphasize it enough, this is an in-depth business course, not a get rich quick scheme.
Is it Worth the Investment?
$597 is a big investment for most people, I understand that, especially in the current climate. But, a course of this quality is worth 10’s of thousands. Imagine taking a college course on business development, how much would that cost. And yes, there is the opportunity of recouping your investment by recommending the course, and your skills for support, to new interested like minded people through the affiliate scheme.
The 80/20 split is more than generous, but allows for some money to go back to Changing Courses 11 to run the back end and work on future improvements. We do not, nor does The Roadmap Exclusive, make any wild claims about how much money you can make with your investment. That is simply down to you. What we can say is The Roadmap Exclusive is a giant recipe book to potential business success. It tells you what ingredients you need and teaches the techniques needed, thus rest is up to you.
