Frequently asked questions
- Is the Get 50 Google Reviews in 30 Days course really free?
- Yes. The full course — every lesson, every template, every script — is delivered free to your inbox. There is no payment step, ever. We hope you eventually try Social Perks, but the course is the course either way.
- How long does each lesson take to read?
- Each of the 5 lessons is a 5-8 minute read. You get one lesson per day, so the whole course takes about 30-50 minutes spread across 5 days.
- What if I miss a day?
- Nothing bad happens. The lessons live in your inbox and are also published on this site under each course page. You can catch up in your own time.
- Will you spam me with marketing emails afterward?
- No. After the course ends, you get one optional email from us inviting you to try Social Perks. After that, you only hear from us if you opt into our weekly newsletter. One-click unsubscribe is in every email.
- Who is this course for?
- This course is written for restaurant owners. If you operate a different type of business, the principles still apply, but the examples may not be a perfect match.
