Confess your 'Guru' shame and shine a light on those truly worthy (26)

Confess your 'Guru' shame and shine a light on those truly worthy

So, you bought a 'Guru' product. Yeah you did. 'Fess up. Was it truly worthy of the hype? Tell all and lighten your karma load.

Always willing to juggle fire for the entertainment of the crowd, I'll kick off.

1) The Shoemoney System from Jeremy (the world in a tee shirt) Shoemaker.

As a newbie, at time of purchase, I actually found this to be well presented and contain useful information. Physical product was also mailed to my home which was of top quality printing and glass-mastered DVDs. The course was complete (no 'coming soon' shit) and I felt that I received value for money.

2) Traffic Dojo from 'PPC Ninja' Christian Weselak.

EXCELLENT value (probably several times what he charged for it) from a guy who says what he does and does what he says. No crap, all solid useful and profitable content. The course petered out somewhat due to an issue which Christian explained to me offline, and was of no fault of his own making. I learned a lot from it, expecially how to think about AM which was GOLD. Later on he was good enough to help me several times and I really appreciated his time and trouble. Grab anything this guy puts out and don't let go. It will reward you many times over.

3) 'MrFBX' by Nick Peall. fb pages course.

Good idea. Rubbish content. Overpriced, weak and always 'coming soon'. Still he did give me a full refund after I complained how bad it was. So fair play to him for that. Guru? No - dreamer believing his own publicity. Couldn't beleive some thought it good. They need a bucket of cold water over them to wake up.

There, I feel cleansed from sharing.

ouch but not as bad as me



1st and last clickbank product



Good PoF course - available now for free i think for an optin



1st and last guru product

Still the best "concept" for a campaign manager/tracker but poorly executed full of bugs. Training ok but poorly structured.

Guru Product #1: PPC Classroom 2 (Jeremy Palmer delivered fantastic content but screw Anik Singal)

Guru Product #2: Private Coaching by Matt Harward (got scammed)

For those of you who don't know or didn't buy it Christian now gives this course away free when you subscribe to his email list... its a must have for those trying to learn POF and there is some ninja spy shit too. http://ppcninjablog.com

My first, don't say you don't remember it

Than I discovered TV.

In order of best to worst:

Total Product Blueprint (Brendon Burchard) - If you want to create your own products, this is worth 10x the price. Major over-delivery on what you pay for. He is a master of surprising you with bonuses. (Actual dialogue in my house: "Who ordered this book from Amazon? No one will own up to it? Must be a mistake, I'll send it back. <looks at packaging label> Holy crap. It's another gift from Brendon.")

Digital Marketer (Ryan Deiss) - Another solid purchase. The real deal. Unlike many internet marketers who are just selling to other IMs, Ryan actually makes more money on products he sells to 30+ niches. All of the stuff is kept up-to-date, and covers everything from designing a conversion funnel to Google PPC.

Six Figure Program - It was Ben Moskel's talk at the 2010 System Seminar that got me serious about affiliate marketing. He and Dave Clabeaux are good guys and very real. Their training is good for beginners, but they're a bit rough around the edges, and not as hard core as I would like. Their products are reasonably priced and a good value.

System Club - I've gone to the last two System Seminars. They are very inspiring and worth the trip. I took a year of the System Club Coaching, but found it way too basic for me. (Solid coaching, but more for people who needed hand holding.) I stayed with it for an entire year since it provided free System Seminar attendance. I would only recommend the Club to absolute beginners.

Dominating Video (Alex Goad) - The idea is great. The message is great. Their back end is a mess, with broken links, missing documents, and overall dis-organization. A poor investment.

There are a number more, but it might depress me to go any further.

True Fact - I've spent more on my internet/affiliate marketing education than I did getting my Ph.D. in chemical engineering.

Thanks for the info. I didn't know you could get Traffic Dojo for free.

I didn't seen an opt-in on that site, but I did a search and found this site: http://payperclickninja.com/ and opted in. After confirming my subscription I received an email with the user name and password for the members area.

Anik Singal - lol

Is he still a free man?

He should have been arrested for fraud a long time ago.

He steals from innocent people.

i'm actually really surprised at the production quality of that preview.

i was suckered into ppc classroom 2.0 as well. pretty trash.

my first purchase ever was rich jerk. subsequent ones have been random ebooks that were mostly trash (i think a couple by alok jain?).

and then i got into thevault.bz and haven't looked back.
