The Reese Report Collection

Save your money. I was a member of it a while back and discontinued. Yes you will learn something if you are a newbie, but unless you are rich, you really would be better off spending that money elsewhere.

It seems Gurus currently are into repackaging their old information products and rebranding them for $$$. Special reports usually tend to become mainstream within a year or two as the information filters to the masses. This forum itself has much more useful info than what you will get in that package.

I have been receiving emails from gurus for several years. The same gurus keep "revealing the never revealed secrets" several times each year. It is the nature of direct response marketing and you need to learn not to be enticed by clever marketing.

I was surprised at how much he was going to charge for it.

It seemed far too much. I thought he might sell it for $297 or $497.

He provides good content but a good chunk of it must be non-relevant 3-4 years on.

I too canceled within a few months because of the novice material and inconsistency in content.

I am also sick and tired of gurus promoting each others rehashed and old useless products. The prices are going up and the quality is going down. I would be surprised that anybody could think of buying such a product in these economic climate.

John mentioned that a lot of his recent customers had been asking about the RR. Demand, real or perceived, created the hefty price tag. I was really curious as to whether this 1000 sets would sell out quickly.

So the question is, "Can John Reese re-establish his reputation for great products?"

This will be fun to watch and there are lessons to learn hear. JR's newsletter didn't last but will Kern's and Yanik's???

Dan Kennedy is the supreme-granddaddy of the newsletter business and building the MOST responsive herd. He has several thousands of subscribers... can anyone pull this off?

I think John Reese shot his wad with his first product... which was a great product at the time but everything after that was like plr content spiced up with new "ninja" phrases and terminology.

Dan Kennedy is the God Father and Grand Daddy of them all.

If you want the "source" of all these gurus, most can be traced back to Dan Kennedy.

He is bleeding edge in his thinking and always evolves and how he breaks things down is amazing. His material is worth every penny plus a nickel.

At this point and where the Internet Marketing industry is the cost of products are the least expensive en devours...

Its the cost of time it takes to go through content.

One can't afford to go through a course of little value. Even worse is going through one and then implementing only to find out the darn thing doesn't work or is outdated.

To Mike Filsaime:

Here is a clear example of how gurus got together and promoted rehashed material:

Arbitrage Conspiracy

The free report that was given away to promote this - that entire strategy is Chowdury's from PPCformula.

So instead of rehashing their own material, they rehashed someone else's.

Not only that but they added $1,000 to what PPCformula costs.

Now I haven't seen the course but if the "preview" content is entirely stolen from someone else I don't know how that reflects on everything else.

The problem is the Guru launches are not only going down in value but going up in costs because there are more mouths to feed.

I believe Jeff Walker (who created this launch system) should be modeled not just on his launches but "after the launch" as he truly delivers.

His entire business is not just around product launches... he actually does research and development to improve what he is launches.

Most of these "Launches" have now actually become the product. The launches make people feel all good and excited and the climax is the order button.

This is great for dreamers as it gives them another 6 months to dream of all the possibilities instead of having to do anything but for people who actually do shit - they want tangibles.

Imlogic, there is some truth to what you say, unfortunately.

Davebo: I can't agree more, can we say great minds think alike?

Then when you complain, Mr Reese will say "if he applies the information to work, he will make much more money."

Classic.

The thing to remember about John Reese is that since the last century he has been making a lot of money from non-IM marketing. He really can walk the walk.

He's also an extremely thorough tester. If he tells you something works, it works.

However, as I said above, IM moves so fast that test results from a couple of years ago have less value than current ones. The price he is asking is just too much.

Since we're talking about JR, anybody care to hazard a guess why BLOGRUSH failed?
I know that was a project he spent a lot of time developing before launch.

If you're looking for tricks, you'll probably be disappointed. However, RR had market analysis in every issue, which you might find helpful. A good market is 90% of the battle, in my opinion.

I think I just learned more for this thread than I EVER have for John Reese!

Thanks

Reese isn't teaching anything new. Old dog with old tricks.

Set aside everything else, you learn big *concepts* in the The Reese Report. It it these *concepts* that make the big successes - i.e. help you acquire whatever it is that you want in your life.
