Internet Marketing Gurus Suck!… that’s kind of harsh I’ll admit… But from my experience with them it is true.
Many people’s lives and dreams have been ruined by the false promises of the Internet Marketing Gurus.
Yeah, I know these damaged people made their own choice…but there’s still something very wrong.
Gurus like Frank Kern, Mike Filsaime, Mike Rasmussen, Ewen Chia, Jo Han Mok, The Rich Jerk (Real name: Kelly Felix) are just a few to be wary of… there are many many more.
Words of Wisdom…If you are new to the Internet Marketing or Affiliate scene…. stay clear of them…. and here’s why…
They’re much like used car salesmen… very slick. They can sell sand to a Bedouin and ice to an eskimo.
What do they do that’s so bad?
Many innocent people come to the internet to look for supplemental income or it might represent financial freedom for them… and the lure of making a Thousand dollars a day or 10 thousand their first week or a 7 figure income their first year seems irresistible.
And that’s what the Gurus do that so bad… They dangle their Get rich quick scams in front of the unseasoned newcomer… show them over simplified videos of how easy it is and get the poor guy to commit a good amount of money ranging anywhere from a few thousand to 10 or 12 or 15 thousand to buy their program. Sometimes it will start for as low as $9.95. Of course you find out very quickly that what you got for $9.95 is NOT going to get you where you want to be… so you keep buying into their program deeper and deeper. The money back guarantee is almost always for a ridiculously short amount of time (usually 90 days). Even a seasoned and experienced Marketer could not achieve success in that time frame.
Instead of putting the cause of failure where it properly belongs ( on the Gurus and their programs), The newcomer blames himself… thinking that he did something wrong, or didn’t give it enough time, or didn’t try hard enough, and so he continues trying to do it the Guru’s way. Somewhere down the road after much time and a great deal of money is lost… the newcomer finally figures out… it isn’t going to work. Most turn away with dreams destroyed and feeling very bitter.
So being a “newbie” in the Internet Marketing industry can be potentially dangerous to your financial well-being. Why? Newbie’s do not yet know the ins and outs of the industry, and they cannot always detect misinformation or propaganda when it is staring them in the face. This makes newbie’s especially vulnerable to the machinations and deceptions of the gurus.
Gurus and big name Gurus make the majority of their money duping newbies out of their hard-earned money. This is because the newbie generally does not know enough about Internet Marketing to separate fact from fiction.
You Are Not Welcome To Their Club
The Club is a small group of Internet Marketing gurus who help each other by promoting each other’s products. Sadly, it doesn’t matter whether those products are of value or not. Club members will push and promote products and services sold by other Club members because those Club members sell and promote their products and services. In other words, one hand washes the other.
The most effective way to promote the products of other club members is to use the power of email. Many gurus, once you are on their mailing list, will send you a couple of emails a day, telling you how well these products worked for them and that they made lots of money using them. Again, it doesn’t matter if the product is of value or not because the guru is receiving free advertising from the other guru in exchange and of course a nice commission.
Or do you believe that the Gurus work through every product they pitch you on and test it before they send you an email telling you to buy it? If this was true then you will get an email every 2 months from the Gurus and not a couple of emails a day pitching you on a new product each time. It just takes time to test and see if a product really gets the results it claims to do and most of the time it can’t be done in 3 month sometimes not even a year.
Conclusion
In fact the last thing the gurus want for you and me is to become successful…Why? If you become successful then they’re going to have you as a competition. That means less money in their pockets! That’s why they keep the club membership very limited!
My experience with these gurus is firsthand and I wasted a considerable amount of time and money on these programs.
My bad experience is also one of the driving forces for Best Internet Business… to provide for the Newbie a safe place to learn and gain knowledge and provide trusted links and resources. To recommend honorable services that will help a Newbies business profit and grow.
