Questions

Before you download

Do I need the book to use these?

No. Each bonus stands on its own. The book explains the thinking behind them, and each bonus ends by pointing you to the section it comes from.

Can I share them with my team?

Yes. Print them, copy them and use them freely in your own business.

How current are they?

Every platform rule, fee and limit in them was checked in November 2026. Platforms change, so check fees and policies against your own statements and partner terms before you rely on them.
