My really expensive course should I can it
The course basically covers building a blog in a niche and sending traffic to it through social media. It is delivered by webinars and videos covering everything from how to open a gmail account to how to sign up to twitter and facebook and use them to drive traffic.
Value for money issues apart, my biggest concern about this course is how they advise you to write the blog or rather more appropriately how not to write the blog. Their premise is you just pick a niche, any selling niche, and start posting about it on the blog with opt in. Knowledge is no barrier because all you need to do is copy content from elsewhere on the internet.
They advise that as along as there is sharing buttons you can just copy any article into your blog and leave an attributing link to the original and you are legally covered. In the training and I have this on record they state they have checked this with Google specifically and Google say it is ok.
To spruce things up a bit they advise copying a few "royalty free" articles into the posts. They don't seem to know that royalty free does not mean the same as creative commons.
This is the training advice they are giving to many people who are brand new to IM. I find it quite sad in what they are doing as through following their advice they are leading people on a fools errand and leaving them exposed to potential legal action through copyright. Or I am a wrong and they do have a viable system.
Free gifts for opt in are to be created by copying a few selected ezine articles in a PDF and bobs your uncle. They say don't worry about the content because 90% of books that are bought aren't read anyway and yours won't be read either. All you want is the email address to build your list and the free gift is only bait.
I have not reached the part in the course and the end game of what to do with the list.
I have raised my concerns to the owners of the course directly and they think I am being a perfectionist and insist their course works.
Grateful for people's thoughts on this.
