Anyone Buy that Academy Training at $1997

It really depends on what you call worth it. If the information inside helps you bring in sales then yes it's worth it, but if you do what a lot of people do, which is buy a product and don't apply the methods revealed then it's not worth it.

There's a lot of marketing information that could found for free via the internet and even the war room as an alternative, but if you're the type that would rather have a course and can afford it then give it a shot, but only you know the answer to that.

Just listen to what your heart, mind, and inner self tells you and usually that's enough to determine if it makes business sense to invest in it.

You mean Frank Kern's promotion for the Expert's Academy?

Yeah he sent a LOT of emails for that... he was trying to beat Jeff Walker for the No. 1 affiliate position!

Yes I got the email too but if you think you need it and it is good value then go ahead. It is all about what you perceive to be good value. He was only giving it to the first 20 so you had to be fast.

I just deleted that email without reading it

I just unsubscribed from that list because the emails were getting too much. I would never pay that for an Internet Marketing course.

I am not a guru fan or basher but if I was interested in the course already ... yeah I would be buying from Frank and taping the call.

If me , you , or anyone else can't learn from Frank, we better rethink this marketing thing at the very least or start offering call as to how we are making millions and actually have the proof to back it up.

There are a ton of great products out there that have alot of value and are deff worth it. Do your research before buying and just trust your instincts.

I personally buy all of Frank Kern, Eben Pagan and Mike Filsaime's stuff because I know its all worth every penny!!

Good Luck!

The only way I would pay that kind of money for the course is to take Frank up on his call offer and tape the whole call and make an audio course out of it and sell it for $1997.

If you look at the cost of a training course on any subject like computer programming etc etc for one week then in comparison these training courses are not over the top. Not sure of the price in the US but I have attended training courses in the UK that match this price for programming databases etc.

If you are willing to lay out this type of money think about two things...
1
Do not read your email for the next 2 or 3 weeks and focus one hundred per cent on taking action with the info you received and Take Action !
Ask yourself this question.... if you got one good idea that make you and extra x dollars per month would you be happy..... If you made nothing would you be happy.... remember the disclaimer on the box... you may make nothing from this product if you do not take action.... Can you afford to lose this money ?

Just having a one-on-one with Frank Kern is probably worth more than the 2k they are selling this product for. If you lined up every question you would like to know the answers to then this is potentially Gold. I have spent some time in the US at training seminars with some gurus and I definately learnt more from listening to their stories and advice than I did from reading ebooks at home. Just dont expect them to help you. You should be looking at asking questions more on how they setup their operations, what they have tested, how they built their lists etc etc. Explain your business and ask how can you change it for the positive

Hope this helps

I can't say whether a product or service is "worth it" unless I've actually bought it, USED it, and TESTED it. Anyone who does simply looks foolish. I can't tell you if the price is too high or too low for the exact same reasons. I need ROI in order to make a sound, rational decision.

Now specifically, why is marketing like this a big "turnoff" for you? Honestly, I think it says more about you than the marketers who've been doing this for years and have refined the process. I guarantee you that if you were on the other end of the process and it was your launch you wouldn't be writing anything like you just did.

I'm a marketer and business person to the core, so unless these promotions are blatantly illegal or immoral, they don't bother me one bit. If anything, I observe and see what I can learn from them. And that, my friend, has made a huge difference to my bottom line. I think if more people would focus their energies on things that actually mean something and make a difference, they'd get more out of their enterprises.

Many of the experts I know didn't pay $1997 to position themselves in that light. They simply wrote and submitted hundreds and thousands of articles. Some examples:

Sean Mize - Article Marketing/Product Creation
Steven Wagenheim - Article Marketing/Niche Research
Tiffany Dow - PLR Provider
Sydney Johnston - eBay Queen

I could name more but the point is you can become successful without spending a ton of money. At the end of the day all it takes is a plan, dedication/determination and alot of hard work.

Brandon is well known outside the IM circle, and made his mark long before this internet product launch. His focus isn't teaching people how to become internet marketers - this isn't an internet marketing course.

His material is closer to the old Jeffrey Lant stuff from the 80s... How to make at least $100,000 every year as a successful consultant... and the Unabashed Self Promoter's Guide. It's how to develop yourself as an expert in a particular niche, position your "brand" and inject into the mainstream. It's extremely strategic level, and for people who are already knowledgable in a particular area that want to take their careers to the next level.

Hardly fodder for the article marketing Clickbank affiliate crowd. You don't get booked on Oprah or Good Morning America because of an Ezine Article.... or 500 Ezine Articles. This is for people who actually want to do more than post links on the internet as a business, and knows how to rely upon traditional media to drive phenomenal traffic to any website independent of articles, google, etc... My good friend Larry Winget (Your Kids Are Your Own Fault book) doesn't sit around on the internet writing articles hoping people hit his website. He's on FoxNews, MSNBC, CNBC, ABC, etc... a few times a month.

As for Kern's deal, I suppose that it's all what someone is looking for. Someone else already said, if you don't like it, delete it.

Frank is a good guy and entertaining u while he sells... but all of the concepts the Top IM put out ... was written about by the old-timers 50 - 70 years ago!

Frank is a major student of the Old Timers.

These new guy just added the INTERNET as a tool, but the principles are the same.

Example: the old-timers used the same concept of the Landing page 50 years ago. It was just done via ads in newspapers and magazines. They collected a name and address... then they mailed you a sales letter.

Today we use the Internet, it is faster and cheaper ... but the strategy is the SAME!

THAT was funny, Zach

My point exactly.

Good Grief...I have no clue.

I never do anything much at all on there...except upload our videos. Haven't uploaded one in a couple of weeks.

Thanks for the heads up...I guess I'll ask them!

I just love Google.

It's funny, I'm not really sure why but I un-subscribed after getting that same email.
