People Accel.io

“I like the step by step format, it's definitely one of the occasions where I'd just rather get "What" and "How" and not a lot of background on "Why".” - Jason Harmer

“I love the concept and execution of your site. Selling info in a really actionable form is brilliant and the site is clean and pleasant to use.” - Daniel Benamy

“This isn't a miracle solution. I'm sure that you may already know some of the information and can find most of the advice in some form or other on the net. However, what makes this special, is that the information is presented in one location, all on the same page, in the form of many actionable steps, consisting of an explanation, tips and sometimes files and discussion.” - Peter Backx

“Accel.io is like your task list on steroids.” - Jeff Goldenberg

“It's like I stumbled upon someone's secret notebook of spells” - Joey Gaullt
