1. Six Ways to Make Money as a Certified Online Business Manager® Guide - Now more than ever, professionals from a wide variety of industries are taking control of their career paths, and their financial futures, through online business. This is how our Certified OBMs are making great money!

"This book helped launch my successful career as an Online Business Manager many years ago. Tina's wisdom and experience in the industry have served as my North Star for delivering an exceptional experience for my clients. This is a Must Read for anyone interested in exploring the many opportunities in this growing field."

"Returning to the workforce after 10 years at home to raise my kids was a very daunting prospect. I felt my resume was disjointed. I’d worked across 11 different industries and had just as many role descriptions – there was no clear career path let alone industry loyalty. Add to that I still want to be around for my kids outside of school hours. Who was I and what would I do?
Then I read "Becoming an Online Business Manager" Wowsers! All roads did lead somewhere after all. Every part of the book made sense. It was an easy read and very clearly expressed the opportunities and foundation in how to perform as an OBM.
My diverse experience all came together perfectly.
I launched my business and saved my first client’s fees to pay for the OBM Certification Training. Now I know I’m serving my clients how they need it while honouring their business. Now I have a career that I love, is challenging me in all the right ways, supports my family and allows me to be around for my kids."

"I was very happy to find you! My number one reason for buying your book is this: I just left a job where I was a senior operations analyst. I was good at my job but deeply unhappy and longed for the autonomy of working for myself.
I was trying to articulate what I wanted to do - it was something like a VA but broader and more strategic than that....I felt like I had more to offer and wanted long-term partnerships with companies wanting to grow.
Your book put that desire into words and gave it structure - this already exists and I can do it! I'm excited - REALLY excited. I can't wait to learn more."
