Malan Darras Laughs Out Loud Watching Make Money Online "Gurus"
This is just too funny.
There are so many Make Money Online "Gurus" out there who are such noobs that they not only don't know the first thing about affiliate marketing, they don't even know the first thing on how run a long con.
Some of them are stupid enough to try to push themselves on STM under a bunch of obvious fake usernames, LOL.
All you can do is just laugh at them, like Malan D
Reacting To Make Money Online Gurus

"One of the hardest parts about learning affiliate marketing is that you have to wade through the oceans of fake “Gurus” that are out there who are 100% full of crap ...
Yesterday, I tried to watch a “Guru” webinar but had to ditch it after 30 minutes ... Later that day – I was on Youtube and saw a video called “Affiliate Marketing – The Real Truth” (or something like that) and I decided to watch it too.
It was more of the same.
“Blah blah blah buy my secret system…”
“you’re gonna make MILLIONS just like me with this push-button…”
All that kind of stuff.
Instead of getting annoyed, I started laughing. And the more videos I watched the worse it got."

This is in parts great and infuriating- the amount of time wasted by 5-years ago me reading/listening to these YouTube/WF 'gurus' is what kept me from properly committing to AM for the best part of half a decade! 
lol Malan!
I see ya @cmdeal lol.
This was definitely the most fun i've had on Youtube in ages.
Yesterday a guy named Bill Darr or something along those lines tried to sell me a 3 month mentorship course for 500 bucks, it was funny because I asked him what his membership site was so I could at least preview what the content was and he answered me that he had no membership website, but a simple secret facebook group. how stupid he thinks newbies are?
If any newbie reading this and wonering what to do in this minefield of Affiliate Marketing full of wrong advice:
- To get a fundamental knowledge base - go through Zeno's program 6WAMC. Totally worth the money.
- Follow people who know their stuff, their blogs, youtube channels etc - Charles Ngo, I am Atilla, Malan, Finch Sells blog, John Crestani too.
- Read follow alongs.
- Spy and deconstruct others campaigns.
- Launch as much as you can, learn by experience.
There is no SINGLE mysterious secret.
Not in sports.
Not in business.
Not in academia.
And not in affiliate marketing.
Every field worth pursuing requires 4 things: 1) a solid understanding of the fundamentals of the discipline, 2) hard work, 3) an ability to spot opportunities, and then, yeah, 4) some luck.
Can you imagine a guru promising to reveal to you THE 1 secret to become an Olympic gold medal swimmer?
You would just laugh.
The only course worth taking are the ones that teach you fundamentals of marketing.
And if you are a self motivated individual, you don't have to pay a penny for this. You can just follow this curriculum and engage in self study here http://stmforum.com/forum/showthread...-and-Learn!-**.
After that, it is just a lot of testing.
Holy smokes cmdeal, that thread is phenomenal.
LOL
its started slow but then when the Google sniper and the blackops came i started to laugh.
thing is that i want to believe the guys and girls here on STM have already transcended from these crappy instant success bullshit secrets. after all they are here 
i have been involved in numerous courses and "schools" for new affiliates, and from my experience if its worth something its going to cost more than $500.00
thanks for this great post CMDEAL, always good to have a good laugh.
P.S
what is the rules of conduct with these guys here on STM? -
