Really great class!

“I've been wanting to start a chick hatching rental for years now. I'm so happy you created this course. It was very well put together!! The layout, delivery, esthetics, everything is wonderful and it's very user friendly. I didn't know what to expect and I was impressed. ”

FAQs

  • How soon can I earn back what I spend on this course?

    We set the price of the course so that you could earn your investment back in your first two kit rentals. There are other costs involved (kit items, business license, etc.), which will determine how soon you will break even and start making a profit. The Profits section of the course will walk you through your costs and pricing so you can estimate how soon you will start seeing a profit.

  • Are there any licensing fees or commissions to pay?

    Nope. This is a one-time course with ongoing support. We don't ask for licensing fees or commissions on your sales. Your business is YOUR business and you are not legally associated with or obligated to Hatching At Home in any way.

  • Can I set my own kit rental prices?

    Yes! You can choose the pricing, policies, and program length that best fits you and your community. We offer suggestions for what has worked best for us, but you are completely free to design your own program.

  • How much money do I need to start?

    We help you answer that in the Profits section of the course. You'll get access to a spreadsheet where you can choose how many kits you want to start with, input your costs and rental pricing, and estimate your profits for the first two years of your business.

  • How long can I access the course?

    You will have permanent, unlimited access to the course, the resources, the community, and any new content we add. And you can join the monthly live support sessions anytime you need to!
