    Personally I am sick of the internet guru telling me I am going to get rich. Have you ever bought a book or listened to someone saying you need a million twitter followers. LOL you are full of bs and you know who I am talking about.

    I started a revolt and looking for people to jump in. Lets make it trend.. #sickoftheguru

    Unless you are buying a get rich scheme that basically just says, "Sell an eBook about how to get rich and figure out a way to trick 1,000,000 people into buying it.", then it's probably not worth a penny.

    Let's me logical for a second... Do you *really* think people who are actually getting rich on the Internet are selling programs/books about how to do it? :)

    Getting rich online is really no different than getting rich offline... you need a unique product/service that people want. If you buy a book that 1,000,000 other people buy, and everyone starts the same type of business... well... talk about market saturation (even if it was a good idea before, it's not now).

    It seems that 99% of the people claiming all of these internet riches are selling some sort of ebook. I understand why they are doing it, but in most cases its dishonest. Business takes hard work, planning and execution. Do not look to others for products, you are creative enough to get this far, why not take another step and be unique.

    All these books can be divided into 2 categories:
    1) paid , offering nothing new.
    2) free, trying to sell their services, or affiliate with others

    In both cases you get 100% junk.

    Don't get me wrong there are people that have good information. I personally have bought countless books from these guru's, but it seems like the books that promise the most produce the least. I am thinking about starting some case studies on some of these products. I would love to hear some success stories if anyone has any.

    If a guru is telling you that you're going to be rich, he's probably right. It's just going to take a very, very long time.

    It's time for you to create something unique and no need to follow your guru.

    You need ur own product or service to get rich.. somehow, the ebook u buy from these gurus can point you on the direction u want. but everything else should be planned and executed properly by you. you need to focus on what you want to offer and if there is a need for it.
