One of my pet peeves is when I get emails from ‘Internet Marketing Gurus’ who claim that when I buy their course I will get all these ‘bonuses’ at greatly reduced prices.
Here are some recent ones:
Bonus #1: 1 Ticket To “GURU Traffic School”: VALUE: $2,500
Bonus #2: 1 Ticket To Any Live Event In 2010: VALUE: $5,000
You get the idea.
Newsflash
These courses are worth what people will pay for them. So – if you are giving them away for free, they are worth nothing. If you are selling something for $97 then it is worth, oh, I don’t know… $97? Not $2000 and we get 95% off.
And what is even more annoying that people doing this is people believing it! We have arrived at the point where pretty much we cannot believe anything that comes through our email – thanks in large part to idiots who make offers like this.
If you have read other articles by me you know I hate the whole ‘make a million online’ movement. It is – to be blunt – bullshit. Anyone who has done it could probably have made a million anywhere. They had a great business idea and spent thousands of hours perfecting it and their presentation. They did not buy a domain name, set up a wordpress blog, outsource to an article writer and collect a 7 figure sum.
I would challenge any of these gurus to prove
- they have in fact ever made the money they claim. A tax return would be nice proof!
- that any money can be made doing anything except selling the idea of easy money to desperate people
- that anyone who has bought their product went from zero to hero directly because of it
Anyway, rant over.
Welcome to my blog where I will never sell you anything… though if you live in Spain you might want to sign up for FilmAmora.com – the best way to rent movies in Spain!
