Everything people ask me
The questions I was actually asked, and my answers.
Including the ones that suit me less. If yours is not here, write to me at contact@aria-imperium.com : I answer within 48 hours, and I add the question here.

I do not hand you the system and leave you sitting there. The setup is guided step by step on video, and if you get stuck we book a call and do it together. I stay for six months.Stéphanie
01
The basics: what is it, who is it for, at what price?
What exactly is Imperium?
A complete business system, delivered as source code: your sales page, your online payment, your members area, your automated emails, your dashboard, your affiliate programme. What makes it different is Aria, a built-in AI that installs it, personalises it and develops it while you talk to her in your own language.
Is it really that simple?
No, and I will not sell it to you that way. The setup is short, 25 minutes once you know it, an hour and a half at most the first time, because it is guided screen by screen and the system arrives already connected. What stays long is what is long for everybody: deciding what you sell, writing your texts, filming your course. No tool shortens that, and anyone who promises you otherwise is selling you a disappointment. What I promise you is no solitude: the tutorial, the coaching sessions, my email address for six months.
How do I know what I can ask Aria for?
This is the question that comes back most once the system is set up: « we do not know what to ask for ». Three answers. First, you have nothing to memorise: describe the result you want in your own words, and if it is not possible, Aria tells you. Second, the page devoted to her lists everything she does by area, your site, your content, your automations, your day-to-day business, the connections to the outside world. Third, you receive a document of ready-made commands to copy and paste, and the group sessions, every week, exist for exactly this: seeing what other people asked for and leaving with ideas.
How is this different from Systeme.io or Kajabi?
On Systeme.io or Kajabi you rent a tool and build it yourself in their editor. With Imperium the system is delivered already built, it belongs to you permanently, and you change it by asking Aria instead of hunting through menus. If you stop paying a platform, you lose everything; Imperium has no subscription, so there is nothing to stop paying and nothing to lose.
Is there a subscription?
No Imperium subscription. You pay 1,497 € once and the system is yours. The only recurring cost is your Claude subscription (~20 $/month), which lets you talk to Aria, and which does not go into my pocket. Your finished site, on the other hand, runs without any AI.
What exactly do I receive on the day I buy?
Access to your members area with the complete system to download, your personal licence key, and the setup guide. Then we set it up together: Aria opens the project and handles the technical side, you guide her in your own words.
How long before my site is online?
Setting up the kit takes 25 minutes once you know it, an hour and a half at most the first time, with support: at the end, your site is online, the pages are linked together, the payment works and the emails are ready to go. For a complete site online, content included, count on around four hours in total, provided you already have your texts and your images. Otherwise it is not the technical side holding you back, it is what you still have to write, and you spread that over as long as you like: you stop, you pick it up again, Aria remembers which step you were on.
And if I do not have an offer to sell yet?
That is actually a good starting point: you build your offer with Aria. She helps you clarify what you sell, to whom and at what price, and by building it with you she learns your project, your audience and your way of speaking, so everything she writes for your site afterwards is truer for it. Many people arrive with an offer they thought was clear and leave with a sharper version. If you want to talk about it before buying, write me your situation in three lines.
02
Aria and Claude: what is the difference, what does it cost, what are the limits?
Aria and Claude, what is the difference?
Imperium is your car. Claude is the driver and the mechanic, the general intelligence. Aria is that driver, given every blueprint for your car: she knows it by heart. You simply say where you want to go.
Is Claude an extra subscription? How much?
Around ~20 $/month. It is probably the one you already pay for elsewhere to write, and Claude can replace it. And it is not only there for Aria: it is also your assistant for your posts, your emails, your slides and your analyses.
And if Claude changes or disappears in three years?
Your system depends on no AI to work: it serves your pages and takes your payments on its own. Aria is a layer of instructions placed on a model that can read code, today Claude, tomorrow another one if it does better. Your code stays self-contained, documented and portable.
Does Aria manage my social media and answer my messages?
Let us separate two things. What the system delivers: your site, your emails, your sales automations. What Claude can do on top if you connect it: help you write your posts, prepare your replies, organise your content. I will not sell you a robot that posts and replies in your place without you seeing anything.
And if Aria makes a mistake or breaks something?
She can undo her own changes: your previous system can be recovered. She also shows you what she is about to change before doing it, and you approve. If it still sticks, a screenshot is enough, she reads the error and fixes it. And I stay reachable.
Will my site « look AI-made »?
This is the fear I hear most, and it is legitimate. Aria starts from your words, your notes, your way of speaking to your clients, she gives them shape, she does not rewrite your identity. You reread everything before it exists anywhere, and you have her start again as many times as it takes.
03
Hardware, mobile, backups, search visibility: how does it work?
Mac or Windows?
Both. Our first non-technical tester set it up on a Windows PC, we deliberately chose the most awkward configuration. It works on Mac too.
I know nothing about computers, can I still sell online?
Yes, and that is precisely the situation Imperium was built for. You open no files, you write no code, you configure no servers: you write to Aria in your own words what you want, and she does it. The clearest proof is a dog trainer who had given up on building his site: his was online in one afternoon, with his prices and a tested payment. What you need to be able to do: read an email, copy and paste some text, click a button. Nothing else. And if a screen blocks you, you send a screenshot, Aria reads the error and fixes it.
I am not technical at all. Is this really for me?
That is exactly what it is made for. You talk to Aria like an assistant and she turns it into actions. Words like « source code » can be intimidating, but you never touch it: that is the backstage she takes care of. What you have to do is answer her questions.
Can I run my business from my phone?
Your site, your dashboard and your members area work perfectly from a phone: you see your sales, your members, your statistics. To talk to Aria and change your system, you need a computer.
And if I lose my computer?
Your site online carries on running: it lives on your hosting, not on your machine. For the code, Aria sets up a backup, you recover everything on a new computer, and you pick up where you left off.
Does it work on more than one computer?
Yes. Your licence is personal, not tied to a machine: you can work from your office computer and from the one in the living room. What is not allowed is sharing or reselling the system to someone else.
Can I keep my domain name and my host?
Your domain name, yes, we point it at your new site and Aria takes care of it. As for hosting, Imperium is designed for modern hosting, free to start with, which runs the automations. If you are attached to your current host, tell me before you buy: we check together that it is compatible.
What about Google search visibility?
Your site is delivered with the foundations Google and the AIs expect: a title and description specific to each page, a readable address per page, a sitemap, a summary file aimed at AI assistants, structured data, and pages that stay readable even without JavaScript. That is already more than most platforms produce. What makes the difference afterwards is your content and your consistency: Aria writes your articles with you and publishes them, and that is where search visibility is won.
Is it secure?
I am not going to answer with a badge or a certificate: here are the facts, you check them yourself. Payments go through Stripe, so no card data passes through your site or is stored there; member accounts live in a professional database with access control on the server, not in the browser; and your secret keys stay on the server, never in the pages your visitors see.
Do I have to buy my own course to get into it?
No, and if it happens to you it is a setting, not a fate. Your members area is reserved for people who have paid: at the start your own account therefore has no access, which is surprising the first time you want to see your work from the inside. You ask Aria to open access for your address, it takes a few seconds, and she offers it herself as soon as the site goes live. You then see exactly what your clients see.
I already have a site on my domain name. Might I overwrite it?
No, that is protected. Before connecting your domain, your system checks whether a site already answers at that address. If it finds one, it stops, tells you which site it saw, and offers you a sub-address to install the new one alongside without touching anything. It only replaces the existing one if you explicitly ask. So you can keep your old site online while you prepare the new one and only switch over on the day you decide.
Can I see where my visitors come from?
Yes, without installing any external measurement tool. Your dashboard counts visitors, page views, conversion rate, your most-read pages and your main traffic sources, with a curve over the last fourteen days. It is at your place, in your database: nobody else collects these figures, and you have no extra account to open.
Is my data backed up?
Your code is backed up away from your computer, and your database, your members and your sales are hosted by a professional service that handles its own backups. If your machine breaks down, your site keeps running and you recover everything.
How much time a week does keeping all this going take?
Once it is online, nothing is compulsory: the system runs on its own. The time you spend is the time you choose to spend, writing an article, launching a campaign, adding a module. There is no maintenance to do for it to keep working.
Will my site be fast and readable on mobile?
Yes. Every page is designed to adapt to phones, and the hosting used serves your pages from a worldwide network. The majority of your visitors will come from mobile: that is planned for from the start.
Can I have several sites with one licence?
Your licence covers your business: you can duplicate your system for a second project of your own. What the licence forbids is installing it for someone else or reselling it.
How do updates work?
You ask Aria for the update, she applies it while protecting what you have personalised: she checks file by file what you have changed and never touches your texts or your colours without showing you first. You own the system, and it keeps evolving.
04
What can you sell with it, and how far does it go?
Can I sell several different offers?
Yes, as many as you want: several courses, coaching, sessions, a physical product. Each offer has its own page and its own payment. You ask Aria to add one, she creates it from the one that already exists.
Does it handle monthly subscriptions and recurring payments?
Yes. Payment goes through Stripe, which handles regular charges, and the system automatically withdraws access on non-payment or cancellation. That is one of the nine automations delivered.
Can I sell individual sessions and manage my appointments?
Yes. A booking page is delivered, connected to your calendar. Your clients book, pay, and receive their confirmation without you writing a single message.
Is there a limit on the number of clients or members?
No limit imposed by Imperium, which is precisely what platforms charge for. The free services your system uses have their own thresholds, far above what you need to start; the day you go past them, you pay a few euros a month, and that means your business is working.
Discount codes, time-limited offers, upsells?
All delivered: discount codes, countdown, extra suggestion at the moment of payment, further offer just after the purchase, abandoned cart follow-up.
Does Aria handle my appointments: calendar, video call, recording, session summary?
Partly, and I would rather be precise. What is delivered: a booking page connected to your calendar, the confirmations and the automatic reminders. What is not: the video call itself, the recording and the session summary. Those three exist, but in outside tools, and Aria can connect them to your system, at the real cost of the service. I do not count them as Imperium features, because they are not.
Does Aria automatically answer my Instagram messages?
Not in what you buy here, and it matters to say so: Imperium delivers your site, your sales and your emails, not the running of your social media. What is possible afterwards: Claude, the AI that powers Aria, can help you write your posts and your replies, and a connection to WhatsApp Business or to a chat can be plugged into your system. An automatic reply speaking in your place on Instagram without you seeing anything is neither delivered nor what I would advise.
Is there a built-in webinar tool?
No, and that is a choice. Building in a webinar tool would force a monthly subscription on everyone, which would contradict the promise of a system with no subscription. Instead, your system handles the registration page, the reminder emails and the replay page; the broadcast happens with the video call tool you already use, and Aria connects it to your registration.
Where are my course videos hosted?
With the video host of your choice, not inside your system, which is what keeps your hosting free and your site fast. The simplest method: you upload your video to a video platform as unlisted, you give the link to Aria, she places it in the right module of your members area. Your videos stay yours, and you can replace them whenever you want.
Can I sell abroad, in another language?
Stripe takes payment in many currencies and international payments work. The system is delivered in French; if you want a version in another language, Aria can translate your pages, it is extra work, but nothing prevents it.
05
Do your emails really arrive, and how many can you send?
Will my emails arrive, or end up in the spam folder?
They are sent through a professional sending service, not from a personal mailbox, which is already the main thing. When the site goes live we configure your domain name to prove to mail providers that these emails really come from you. Aria takes care of it, it is a guided step.
How many emails can I send?
The free tier of the sending service covers the first months very comfortably. Beyond that it is a few euros a month depending on volume. You are never charged by number of contacts, unlike all-in-one platforms where the bill climbs with your list.
Do the emails go out from my own address?
Yes, from an address on your own domain. Your clients reply to you directly, and nobody sees that you are going through a third-party tool.
Can I write my own emails?
Of course, and it is even recommended. The ones delivered are neutral starting points: you ask Aria to rewrite them in your voice, or you give her your own and she puts them in place.
06
Are you compliant: GDPR, invoices, VAT, withdrawal rights?
Are GDPR and cookies taken care of?
The system is delivered with a cookie consent banner (advertising trackers only load after agreement), a consent box on your forms, and the three legal pages: legal notice, terms and conditions of sale and privacy policy. You personalise them with Aria from your own information.
Are the invoices compliant?
An invoice is generated and sent automatically after every sale, with your required legal wording. I am not an accountant: for your precise tax situation, ask yours to confirm, but you are not starting from a blank page.
Do you need a registered business to sell?
Yes, as for any sale: you need a legal status that allows you to take payment (sole trader, company, and so on). Stripe will check this when you open your account. Imperium changes nothing about that obligation.
And VAT?
The system displays and invoices according to what you set. Your situation depends on your status and your turnover: that is a question for your accountant, not for me. Aria adapts the display once you know what applies to you.
What about the right of withdrawal on my own sales?
The terms and conditions delivered provide for waiving the right of withdrawal on a digital product delivered immediately, with the corresponding box at the moment of payment. You remain free to offer a more generous guarantee, as I do.
07
What it costs, how to pay, and what if you change your mind?
What does it really cost in total?
1,497 € once for Imperium. Then around ~20 $/month for your Claude subscription, and about fifteen euros a year if you want your own domain name. The services your system uses (database, emails, hosting) have free tiers that are more than enough to start.
How long does making it yours take?
It depends on what you have already written, not on the technical side. If your content is ready, count on around four hours in total, setup included, for a complete site online. On Aria's side the work is measured in minutes: applying your colours and your typography across the whole site takes a few minutes, writing your sales page from your notes or a recording about ten minutes, laying out a course module a few minutes per module. On the side that really decides, which is you: if your texts and images are ready, one evening is enough for the site to look entirely like you; if you start from messy notes, count on a few evenings; if you have not written anything yet, that is the work that takes days, and it would have had to be done on any tool.
What do I need before starting?
A computer, Mac or Windows, a phone on its own is not enough for the setup. An internet connection. A way to pay for your Claude subscription, around 20 $ a month, which lets you talk to Aria: the other accounts open for free, with no card. And an idea of what you want to sell, and if your offer is not ready yet, you build it with Aria, who learns your project by building it with you. No technical skill, no paid software, no recent computer: the first non-technical tester set it up on an ordinary Windows PC.
Does it work if I am not in France?
Yes. Your system installs from anywhere: the code runs on your computer, then on hosting reachable worldwide. The only real condition is being able to open a Stripe account to take payment, which is possible from France, Belgium, Switzerland and Canada, among other countries. Check Stripe's official list for yours before buying. The system itself is delivered in French.
What will it cost me when I have a lot of clients?
The services your system uses, database, email sending, hosting, all have a free tier, more than enough to start. When your business goes past those thresholds, you move to their paid plans, charged on real usage and not on the number of contacts. That is the structural difference with an all-in-one platform, whose monthly price climbs mechanically with the size of your list, whether you sell or not.
Can I pay in instalments?
Payable in one go, in 3 instalments with Klarna, in 4 interest-free instalments with PayPal, or up to 24 instalments with PayPal (with fees). You receive the entire system from the first instalment, you do not wait for the last one. No extra charge on my side, whichever method you choose.
Is the guarantee really unconditional?
Yes. You write to me at contact@aria-imperium.com within the 7 days following your purchase, without having to justify anything. I confirm I have received your request, and the refund goes back through the payment method you used. In return, your licence key is deactivated: your system stops, no more payments, no more new members, no more admin area or emails. The files stay on your disk but no longer work.
Can I resell or share the system?
No, and that is the only limit on ownership. Your licence is personal and non-transferable: you can use Imperium for your business, change it, duplicate it for your own needs, but you cannot resell it, give it away or share it. If a copy starts circulating, the licence key that goes with it is deactivated and the system stops working, the files stay on the disk without running. That is what protects everyone who paid.
Do you take a commission on my sales?
Never. What you take in is yours. Only Stripe takes its usual banking fee on each transaction, as with any card machine, and that money goes to Stripe, not to me.
Do updates cost anything?
No. As long as your key is active, you get the system's improvements by asking Aria, at no extra charge.
And if I change my mind after the 7 days?
Once the deadline has passed the sale is final, that is the counterpart of a no-questions-asked guarantee. But you keep your system for life and 6 months of support: I am not dropping you for all that.
08
After the purchase: who helps you, and for how long?
What support is there if I get stuck?
You write to me at contact@aria-imperium.com, I answer within 48 hours. For the first 6 months you also have my personal address. And day to day, Aria sorts things out from a simple screenshot.
I do not have my videos or my content yet. Can I build the site and add them later?
Yes, and that is actually the order I recommend. You build your system, you put it online, you write your sales page, then you fill your course module by module as you produce it. Nothing obliges you to have everything ready on day one. You can also open sales with the first modules and release the following ones as you go: step-by-step unlocking is delivered, and that is exactly what it is for.
And if I would rather have a human alongside me?
You are never alone in front of the screen. Included in the price: the video tutorial showing every screen of the setup, the group sessions every week where I answer your setup questions live, six months of email support with my personal address, and Aria available at all times to sort you out from a screenshot. And if you want to go further, three services exist on top: group workshops to build your offer and your positioning, one-to-one coaching on your situation (both on quotation), and the Imperium setup done entirely for you at 1,490 € on top of the system, where I build everything in your place and hand you the finished site, limited to one or two a month.
And if you stop trading, what becomes of my system?
It carries on running. Your site is hosted on your own accounts, your database belongs to you, and the code is on your computer: none of it goes through any server of mine. What you would lose is my support and the updates I publish, not your business, not your clients, not your sales. That is exactly the difference with a subscription platform: if it closes, your funnel and your members area disappear with it.
How much can Imperium earn me?
I will give you no figure, and be wary of anyone who does. Your system captures interested people, follows up with them and takes them all the way to payment without you writing a message; what it does not do is bring the audience. What I can tell you precisely: without a system, an interested person who leaves leaves no trace and does not come back. With one, they leave their email and receive your follow-ups. The rest depends on your offer, your price and how many people discover you.
Imperium is recent. What does that change for me?
It has been on sale since July 2026. Arriving now has a concrete advantage you will not have in a year: my direct attention for six months, a group session every week with only a few of us, and your feedback shaping the product, since several features delivered today came from requests by the first buyers. I will never sell you thousands of imaginary users, and the seven-day guarantee is there so you can check for yourself.
What is the difference between a brochure site and a sales page?
A sales page has one purpose: converting. It presents an offer, answers objections in order and leads to the payment, with no link to distract. A brochure site informs: it answers questions, shows who you are, what you do and for whom, and lets the visitor wander. The picture: the sales page is the shopping list, you go in, you take, you leave. The brochure site is the supermarket you wander around. Both are necessary and neither replaces the other: without a sales page you inform without ever selling, without a brochure site you only sell to people who are already convinced. Imperium delivers both, at two distinct addresses.
Do you have to specialise in one single field to sell online?
You do not niche yourself, you niche your offer. This is the confusion that blocks the most people: they think they have to choose one single trade for life. One person can carry several offers in several fields, each aimed at a precise audience, with a brochure site above it carrying their name and holding it all together. What has to be precise is the promise of each offer, not your identity. Specialising does not mean shrinking.
Can I see Aria working before buying?
Yes. There are the video demonstrations on the page devoted to Aria, the sites built by Christine and Élodie, and the webinar where I build a system live in front of you.

I know the moment when people give up. And I know it is often enough for someone to say « show me, we will do it together » for things to start again.Stéphanie
