Don't Blame The Gurus...

Haha Sal. Cut it out. You are just being difficult now in response to the "Don't blame the newbies" thread.

There is nothing like earning that kind of money just sitting in kitchen. Sometime luck favors and you can get hit once or twice but its never permanent.

"Don't Blame The Gurus..."

Alright, I'l blame you instead!

-Chris

Mostly true, imo. If there were no gurus someone would have to invent them. I think it's also because many people like to 'follow' someone and feel more secure that way. ...sarcasm?

Not all Gurus proclaim the "get rich quick in your underwear" theory. Some actually encourage you to get educated, informed and invested first.

A few years ago I used to speak at seminars about real estate investing.

Being an ex real estate agent, I'd get people whining about agents and how their practices etc.

My question to them was simple: If you engaged them to sell your home and with all their "practices" they found a buyer who wanted to pay you $100k above fair market value, would you knock it back?

The point is that people slam gurus for selling their products for $2k, and I wonder if these same people could do the same, would they do it? Or would they keep their prices at $97?

It's the double standards that annoys me in this argument.

the fault is always between the chair and the keyboard

this is waaay too often in sales letters....

"The Gurus are Lying to You!"

"The Gurus don't want you to know this! They hide this and keep all the money, sucking the money from newbies" etc

"Buy my product, I'm not a Guru but my ptroduct can make you money fast and easy!"

Sounds too familiar, eh? bash gurus as snakes and liars, then tell people to buy your product.

I have unsubscribed from many "guru's" lists because it seems they are just all promoting each other's latest product without really using it themselves or fully testing it to make sure it is appropriate.

I know this because I used to do the same. I made this apology and pledge to my list members a few months ago.
---------------------------
I want to apologize to all my subscribers. This isn’t one of those “false” apologies
you usually get from Internet marketers who say they are sorry they didn’t get you info about some product they want you to buy so they can make money off you.

This is a real apology from me to you.

Like many other Internet marketers I jumped on the “launch” bandwagon, promoting new product launches from other Internet marketers to my list. Promoting new products to our lists is an important source of revenue for most of us and you have probably noticed that you are getting the same ad copy from many of the different “guru” lists you have signed up for as they all jump on the launch bandwagon.

The problem is, like most other Internet marketers, I did not review every product before it went out. While many of the products were probably excellent, there were likely many that should not have made the cut.

I rationalized it by telling myself these promotions were safe as they all had money back guarantees for refunds and since every other Internet marketer was doing it, why shouldn’t I?

But I DON’T want to be like every other Internet marketer. I want Garland Coulson and “EBusiness Tutor” to mean something more. I want them to be names you can trust and rely upon to tell you the truth.

So that is why I am apologizing to you and giving you my pledge.

Garland’s Pledge
——————–
As of this date, I pledge that EVERY product or service that I email to my list will be a product either that:

1. I use myself or our members find useful.
or
2. I or my team have reviewed and truly believe it will be useful for you.

Each email review will make it clear how we chose that product and why and how you should use it.
——————-
Since not all products fit everyone’s needs, I highly recommend you never purchase ANY product online unless :

1. They offer a money back guarantee within a period of time that you can test it.
and
2. You have time over the next 1-2 weeks to test it fully to see if it fits your needs.

This gives you the opportunity to ask for a full refund if the product isn’t the right fit for you.

I thank you for your loyalty and interest in my teaching and tools. I hope to help you for many years in achieving your financial independence on the web.

Hi,

Sal started this thread.

We now have a good reason to always blame him.

He is a membership Gooroo..

Guru bashing is just another USP...

"Guru's are lying to you, but pay me to tell you the truth" :rolleyes:

At the end of the day you believe what you want to believe. It's not one ones fault, only one who thinks there are magic pills. It takes real work to make a living online.
