Since a couple of weeks, I was looking at all the internet marketing course that I’ve bought across my internet marketing career. I was surprise to see all the useless stuff that I had on my shelf.
So today I decide to give you some advices and some warning about what’s out there on the market. I won’t drop names and or destroy specific courses or software. Instead, I will give you some advises to find what you really need to succeed online. If you follow those, you will be able to avoid scammy stuff and find your way to success through this journey online!
But before I want to make a little disclaimer here just to make sure that we understand each other. In this post I will talk about internet marketing course only, not about plugins, not about free e-book. I’m going to talk about the real courses, the one that can guide you through the strategies and tactics for success online. So all the price that I talk about, the quality of the product, or anything else, it’s all related to “courses” and this only!
Alright so this said, let’s start! Since the month of May, I and some friends have declared WAR to all those fake Gurus that are claiming themselves pros and top earners. So if you hear about the NO BULLSHIT PRODUCTIONS campaigns, well it’s us. See, we love our profession and a lot of stuff out there is killing it. Remember, and you will hear me say it often, there is no magic button “Don’t Work and Get Rich” stuff. That does not exist! Those are myths to try to sell you things. In any good courses that I know, you will at least need to implement something by yourself, I talk about this later on but, it’s always good to say those kinds of thing twice 😉
FIND A GOOD INTERNET MARKETING COURSE
Here’s are my 5 top advises to segregate good a internet marketing course from a pour valued one. I hope they will help you to find what you need and avoid traps.
Advice # 1: Where Are You At?
The first very good advice that I can give you is this one: Where Are You At? There is different level in this profession. So to buy a good internet marketing course, you first need to know which level you are. There is some tactics and strategies out there that a perfect newcomer to this industry will fail. And if he fail he quit. So to make sure that you won’t quit you really need to make the point about what you know, what you want to achieve, and what are your initial skills.
If you ask yourself those questions and that you say: “Mmmmm I know nothing, I don’t know what skills I have, but I want to achieve XYZ” you need a consultation with a pro that will guide you through the first step to take toward your success. And by the way, me or my partner Seb Assaf, will give you a 30 minute free consultation to help you start in your journey. If you want one, just leave name, phone and email in the opt-in box to the right and one of us will call you to look at what you need and where to go to start!
Advice # 2: Do You Know Which Review To Read?
You should always look about reviews of products. But, if you look at them, make sure they are objectives. If you see someone saying “this product suck…. blablabla…..but I have something better to sell you” that’s might not be a good review to look at. Try to find those that might suggest the same product that you want but that also give some inconvenient about the product itself. Like: “This product is awesome, I’ve really enjoy (working with, learning, etc..) but I think that this and that should be better”. If you read and you don’t feel sold about it, it might be a good one 😉
Advice #3: It’s All About BRAGGING
If a video presentation starts by someone with a nice car, driving through his city, and that you look at the keys on the contact and there is a red tag on the key holder (like if you go somewhere to rent a car) That might be a fake product. I’ve seen a lot of video starting with this thing, the guy drive a nice luxury car and he arrive in his huge mansion. But when he is on the way to his mansion, there is a camera filming what he is saying. When you take a close look at the keys, you can see that it’s a rental car. Usually those guys are trying to show off and brag about a lifestyle that people dream of. So this way people get impress and buy the product without any question.
DISCLAMER: I’m not saying that it’s bad to talk about a nice lifestyle in a video, but to brag it, not sure about it!
See I’ve met a lot of top earners in the industry like Ray Higdon, Tim Erway, Ferny Ceballos, Raymond Fong, just to name some of them, but none of them have talked about the lifestyle that they achieved by bragging it! This life of freedom that they own now, they earned it through tears, sweat, blood, broken friendship, broken relationship, etc… If ever you see someone that tells you that with this plugin, software or a way to do things and you hear: “With this system, nobody will have to do anything and you will be rich”, let’s say that you will take some risk to invest in this one.
BUT! If they are offering help like: “Do this step and we will do this and this and that for you” Take time to have a close look at it and maybe to invest in it! In any way to make money, someone will need to work! You are them! Even if they say that you will have only 1% of work to do, and that they will take care of the rest, it’s might be a good one. Because, at the end, someone is working to make money.
Advice #4: Do The Price Reflect The Offer?
“Hey Let me show you how to make millions for $7” Have you already heard this? I know I did! Usually the price is a clue of a good product. If someone says you will make millions out of his course for 7 bucks, take time to analyse closely his offer or maybe just avoid it. Usually people that make money online and that will give you their insider’s secrets to make money, won’t give that information for dimes, a good course about any type of strategies or tactic online will be between $200 to $500 or a monthly fees that will be between $100 to $200. You can also find some good “full year” packages for them, like $2000 for the whole year.
Advice #5: Is Leaving The Page Is World War III?
Did you ever find an online product page and, when you try to leave it, because it wasn’t what you were looking for, they ask you: “Do you really want to leave this page?” or that redirect you to another page with $5 off, and another one with $15 off, and so on? I’ve been through a lot of sales pages through my career and there is always a little test that I do to know more about the quality of the product and the intention of the seller.
What I do is: I copy the URL and after, I try to leave. If, when I click back or the “X” to close the window, there is a popup that say: “do you want to…». Then, I will click yes just to test. And if it takes me out like it supposed to, I will paste back the URL and read about this product. But, If it brings me to another sale page with a discount on the product, I will try to get out of it as fast as I can because this seller only wants money money. What is funny it’s that I already found offer that were going from like 97$, to “oh let me give it to you for free”. RUN EVERYONE!!!!!!! Those courses are the worst!!! Real people that know the real internet marketing skill will never, never give it for free!
SO LET’S RECAPITULATE
If you want to succeed online, you will need to get your hand dirty. It takes work and it takes time. So try to avoid all the “you won’t have to do nothing BS”. There is only 2 plug and play system that I know that will reduce or eliminate your learning curve. But, even there you will need to do 1% of the work. Those systems have created everything you need to start implementing things right away and start to be into profit fast! See, I’ve use the word “implement” because, you will need to do the work to get result. Let me tell you more about those!
The first one is Elite Marketing Pro, from one of the best of the best: Tim Erway. You can Google his name and you will find plenty of proof about how he can lead you to your success and this, even if you are a perfect beginner in this profession. I’ve learnt so much from Tim since the last 2 years and that is why I can now; give you good information about what you need to succeed. His program is a plug and play but, it’s also a course that will lead you from plug and play to a perfect internet marketer. Tim’s intention is to bring you from newbie with a system that is already in place for people that have 0 experiences, to an advance marketer that can use the 3 pillars of success like if it was an innate skill.
The second one is My Lead System Pro form Brian Fanale and Norbert Orlewicz. This system is a plug and play system too. But, with any guide you might be a bit overwhelmed if you are a beginner. I remember when I start with them back in 2010, I looked at all the strategies and tactics that they had and I was completely lost. There are so many things to learn at the same time and I had no mentor at this time to tell me what to do. I almost quit. But, Life had other plans for me, and I found someone that took the time to explain me what to do and where to start from. So my recommendation for this system is this: If you are not a “Go-Ahead” type of person and that you want to sign up with MLSP, be sure to find someone that will guide you through the system and that will help you to find what fits for you in it!
Both of them are monthly based subscription and I know from my own experiences that it can lead you from scratch to expert! Those are 2 proven systems that made a lot of people, just like you and me, successful!
Well, that was a long post and I really hope that it will help you to find what you need for your online success!
