Overhyped Products -The Gurus are failing us Or What Do You Think?

That is another problem altogether and why I promote so few products.

In fact, the only big launch I've ever promoted in 7 plus years is Nitro
Marketing Blueprint.

In fact, I'll go as far as to say that anybody who really wants to build
a solid business from the ground up the RIGHT way, don't bother getting
anything of mine. Just go and get Nitro Marketing Blueprint...PERIOD.

As for the marketers who have left their integrity by the curb, same thing.
If they promote a product that really is a load of crap, get off their list.
Don't buy from them anymore.

I review everything I promote, even if it's a 10 page ebook.

If I say it has value, you can bet it has value. And if it's basic info that
seasoned vets will probably know, then I'll state that in my review and
say that it's for newbies.

Please let's not forget that there are new folks out there who NEED this
basic info. And therein lies another problem that I don't even want to get
into in this thread because one man's crap is another man's gold.

But we've beaten that horse to death too.

Just like with drugs, if you just say NO...the problem goes away.

People just don't know how to say NO.

Shaun, therein lies the crux of the problem.

I can almost guarantee you that if I asked anybody here to send me a
product that they thought was overhyped crap, and I went through it, I'd
find something in it that IF applied, would make me money from it.

I absolutely refuse to believe that somebody with any kind of a reputation
who wants to keep it, would release a 2K product or whatever the price
was, that had absolutely NO value and no way to generate anything from
it.

And again, a lot of people bitch and complain NOT because the stuff in
the product doesn't have value, but because they KNOW IT ALL ALREADY.

Well, if you think you're at that point where you know all this stuff, and
every guru launch is giving you more of the same, maybe that should tell
you something that there's no magic bullet out there that's going to let
you sack out at the beach drinking pina coladas.

But these people keep buying product after product hoping for some
miracle.

When did God come down to earth and say, "Hey folks, you can get rich
by just pushing a button?"

If he did, I missed it.

I got to where I am by busting my ass and no miracle product got me
there by allowing me to push a button.

In fact, I can name, on one hand, the products I've purchased in 7 plus
years that have REALLY made a difference in my life, not counting NMB
because that was after I was already successful.

"Insider's Guide To Profits Online" (out of print)
"Secrets Of The Big Dogs" (a book most people laugh at)
"The Original Rich Jerk" (had some cutting edge stuff at the time)

And THAT'S IT!

Now, I've gotten some specialty stuff on copywriting, testing and tracking
and a few other odds and ends that have helped me. But as far as
general marketing books, these are the only 3 that have made any real
difference in my life, and Rich Jerk, marginally.

Learn the basics and there's not much else.

At least I haven't found it.

I asked a friend of mine who got Traffic Secrets 2 if it was good. He
said it was good but it was still basic stuff and not anything ground
breaking.

So I wonder how many people were disappointed with that product
because it didn't include the wonder wheel with it?

So again, whose fault is if John Doe buys 10 guru mega courses and each
one disappoints him?

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Fool me 10 times and I f*****g need to have my head examined.
