What happened to all the awesome courses like Traffic Secrets?

I'm pretty sure that most of the experienced marketers here are
self-taught since there weren't any books or courses in the very
beginning of internet marketing, but I have no way of knowing
and I can only speak for myself.

I started my first online business after reading a mail order book,
referring to a wholesale directory, and watching a TV series from
C-NET called The Web.

I remember a 12-year-old on the show talking about setting up
websites and figured that it must not be too difficult.

The only course I ever took was on setting up sales funnels,
but I have read several books over the years and I watch a lot
of YouTubes to keep up with current trends on whatever is
relevant to me. And of course I have gained priceless knowledge
from actual experience.

I don't know of any nitty gritty courses, you would probably need
to take several individual courses in the areas that you think you
are lacking. Or you can just spend a few days reading through
this forum, there is a wealth of information here.

I'm a little confused why a grizzled old internet marketer from the old days is still looking for a course that teaches the nitty gritty in 2023, but most of the early celebrity marketers have made their money and gone elsewhere.

While there's probably a limit to how many times you can repackage an idea or how long you can maintain a persona, the reason you don't notice so many big fish nowadays is that the pond has grown exponentially, making it harder for any one marketer to stand out.

There's also a whole breed of newcomers who grew up after the internet and many of them tend to use YouTube as their go-to tutorial platform.

probably the internet is the best teacher

I would say that over the years, the market has simply been flooded with all the garbage that has been launched on Warrior Plus and JVZoo, and therefore, naturally, there is less and less choice over time because people who bought it earlier realized in masses that they were being fooled.

With the pointless hype and false promises, people naturally become a bit smarter over time, I would say.

And the opportunities to release high-quality courses naturally decrease over time when, in essence the key points on which one must focus to become successful rarely change significantly, for example in affiliate marketing.

Otherwise, I can only give you the tip that there are supposed to be a few useful courses on Gumroad from time to time.

Looks like all cources will die , because a lot info in the internet .

Frank Kern himself has an offer for a bunch of courses for a few bucks, like 4 courses for $4. I googled "frank kern cheap courses" and came up with a bunch of results.

Russell Brunson bought Dan Kennedy's IP and has a similar sort of offer. At the Magnetic Marketing site they have an offer for a bunch of stuff for free signup.

The fundamentals don't change. You still need eyeballs (traffic) and a method of turning some into customers (conversion). You can dress it up, share syntax (the order and commands to make things happen), the platforms can change, but the basics remain the same.

If you knew how to do it back then, you ought to know how to do it now. Some elements like learning how to run FB ads could be a challenge, but you can always outsource that.

The old days are gone my friend. No point in hoping for them again.

Frank Kern just offered about 4 of his courses on fb for $4
