I'm receiving emails from a reputable online marketer and in his emails, he's selling a product that is supposed to have generated $x,xxx income in just a month. In the sales pitch, he goes on about how he has tried it himself and then proceed at showing screenshots of his revenue summary. By purchasing the product, I will be privy towards the system on how to do the same and earn. I'm sure you know what I'm at. My question is, have you tried purchasing/trying such products and did you really earn from them?
I have friends who did try them with no success. I dunno what to say... I prefer not to invest in this kind of "businesses"..
I like to screw with these blowhards now and then. I'll send them an e-mail aswking for a few tips, samples from their e-book / CD's before buying. Then I ask how much traffic they get at their site. They either don't reply back, or they don't tell much.
Dont believe them. Its better you should try yourself by different ways to get visitors, these books only tells you that we did this and this and got this and this. just like overview not any details. These are just fools books
In my opinion most of the so called "guru's" make most of there money by selling products to teach you the same things you can find on forums like this for zero or very little cost.. they don't actually do anything.. they out source the job just like the rest of us, they have an idea about something and market the hell out it getting the other "guru's" to promote it in their mailing list and such. Frankly, now days most anybody can make a screen shot of 'earnings' save your money and learn from those who teach because they want to, like many here! And besides in a week someone will sell you a knockoff at at 1/10 the price or even less in order to re-coup some of what they paid. Just an opinion from a DP noob, but not a noob to IM, 7 years to be an 'overnight' success mostly because I was greedy, cocky and wouldn't listen.
99% of the time they sell something that may have made them money in the past. By the time they sell it, it has began to drop and in most cases become completely useless. If you do buy anything from the "gurus" (I recommend you don't) Don't follow what they say verbatim, you need to put your own twist on it.
I once saw a video that was dedicated to launching a NEW money making ebook and all this Guru did was take a popular clickbank ebook and then had it re-written by some Guy he found on elance.com Then he repackaged it and launched it as the latest great money making ebook These Gurus are scammers... Big Time!
That is part of the 'guru' deal. They build a platform and then try to sell you stuff. If they have used the product or not is debatable. Most of the info they have in their ebooks and products you can find free online. Yet some people like an anthology and have all the info in one place. As for myself I buy online products but I am not falling for the hype that I too will be a 'guru' or will make x amount of dollars in x amount of time following their easy step-by-step process to Internet guru-dom and guru-riches.
Any guru book can earn you that money, if you know how to do it right. The key to any guru book is that they don't mention the time it takes to make such money Or any of the dirty little tricks to minimize the work such as outsourcing.
Some of the "guru's" ideas will help you get a foundational start. It's not that their ideas are wrong, but a lot of them are every where you look. I have a friend who signs up for all of the "guru's" newsletters because he says if you want to learn how the "guru's" are actually marketing then read their newsletters I thought it was pretty good advice. Now I have a junk email folder that gets all of those newsletters that I will go through to figure what they are trying to do.
Those "guru" things mainly waste your time. Chances of you becoming rich are very slim from those scams. The best way to get rich from the internet is to do it like everyone else. Not take a 'short-cut'.
That just made my day. You do it like "everyone else", and you'll fail. It's about putting your own twist on it. If you do it like 95% of the people do, you'll share the available profits among the 95%. The smart marketers share their profits with the 5%, which means a lot more money in their banks.
