What is the Most Tired Advice Online?

27 replies
Hi guys,

This question was recently posed by Caleb Wojcik over at Think Traffic.

It was very interesting to read all of the comments and I left one of my own. So now I am wondering, what piece of advice are you warriors tired of hearing?

Kind regards,

Victoralexon

      Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

      What I immediately thought.

      Action!

      What action?

      Everything you do is some form of action.

      This saying really is too vague and general. It starts to get old.

    Buy a course.
    - Strong possibility you won't learn anything of value.

    Get a mentor.
    - Generally speaking, they are slick talking lifetime newbies themselves.

    Rinse and repeat.
    - Duh!

    Scale it up.
    - So vague, and there often isn't enough hours in the day.

    Outsource it for cheap.
    - And be disappointed with the quality of work.

    Hi all,
    In my case, I think the most tired online advice is...
    Make money online!
    and to add to it.. no website, no domain name, no PPV, no SEO, etc
    and Push button this and that,

    End of the day as we all know it sometimes the hard way (after buying lots of WSOs) is action, action, action!
    Thank you and have a blessed action weekend

    I'm sick of hearing how "This Wonderful, Brand-New, Never Ever Ever Released Before in the History of Humankind" WSO will not only make you filthy-rich in less than 16.7 hours, but it will also make your cat turn blue, your dog pink, and it will make your girlfriend more attractive than a Playboy model.

    And yes, it's 11PM and I'm still drinking coffee. Can you tell?

    I'll give you my secrets for making money online for only $99....

    ... But I don't wan't to keep these secrets for myself because they are not really secrets really. You can find this information online probably quite easily if you search for similar things. In fact the only way I really make money online is selling you my secrets which are not really secrets that I can sell you chumps for $99 but you won't make any money because I don't make any money I'm just trying to con you really, I'm sad and lonely and have no real secrets to sell - will you give me $99 for my secrets, of course you will!

    . And people believe this ____!

    That advice is correct to some ACCEPTABLE levels. But to hear all the "gurus" preaching about it all day long drives me crazy >

    Game Changer!!

    It is not advice, but sales copy.

    Not everything will change the game, but according to certain product creators, everything they put out will.

      Hi,

      All the "common" advice mentioned by everyone are TIRED. True.

      But should they be RETIRED? No.

      They are all good advice, as long as they are in context with the ongoing conversations.

      When it is not, then you immediately know what the guy is up to:
      -> increasing post count
      -> promoting forum signature
      -> spamming the forum

      Hi,

      Yeah ... some people mentioned STAY FOCUSED.

      But they failed to mention the HOW-TO of staying focused.

    I hate a phrase which is also used as advice and it is this>>

    It's a NO BRAINER!

    I hate that because it's insulting and condescending.

      I agree.

      They can replace it with more positive phrases like Super Simple.

    +1 for "Rinse and Repeat".... That is the most annoying, most tired clishe I hear over and over again. Especially when somebody says wow I've made my first $1 then some smart S says now rinse and repeat 500 times and you have $500 and I always feel like saying why stop there, repeat it 5000000000 times, you would only need 5000000000000000 years or just 1 year if you outsource it to 500000000000000 people
