Signs that Your an Internet Marketing Guru

100 replies
With so many guru`s arising it`s important that we know how to spot them

Perhaps your a Guru and you don`t even know it?

Here are some signs that your an Internet Marketing guru:

1. You have these weird hobbies such as shooting fish in a barrel and even weirder medical problems such as a jaw that drops to the floor which you can't afford to get fixed because you're always leaving your money on the table.

2. Every note you write to your wife is filled with bullet points and a PS:

3. You include the words Re:, notification of payment received and _______ in your subject lines

4. If asked for advice about something by a friend, you convince them it's a scam before trying to sell it to them for twice the price

5. You can only write weird numbers such as 59673.71. This made you flunk your math courses in school so you dropped out and became an Internet marketer

6. You got arrested in the rich part of town for filming a sales video in front of someone else's house

7. Your home videos are all auto-play and have all control options disabled

8. You were introduced to your wife by some ex-Soviet military super blacks ops hacker/coding genius who wrote her top secret name on a bar napkin after months of you pleading for it, with the condition that you'd only announce your marriage to your mailing list of close, personal "friends" for a limited time at an insanely discounted price

    I think 'GURU' is person who really helped others to make money,not just simple giving advice or just giving product to buy and forget about what buyer. I think there is only one sign what you are internet marketing GURU - It's desire to help people and also to see results from what help !

      Wikipedia says a guru is someone who acquires followers, usually by exploiting their naivete. What a great definition.

    You film yourself on a beach with your own private swimming pool and all is great and there are no such things as challenges or problems.

    Challenges and problems are there to serve us all and make us greater than what we are all already are at this present time.

    Earning money online is a great thing but we all have to realise that problems are here to stay no matter what your bank account reads in the morning!

    The gurus seem to miss this important fact out!!!

        A guru is:

        - An ordinary everyday schmuck that's a safe distance from home speaking at a seminar

        - A self-proclaimed rags to riches poster child that wants to show you how to be the same

        - A self-proclaimed niche master that found a PLR product yesterday and started a blog this morning

        - A sincere and true friend that has you on his mailing list and denounces all other marketers as not-to-be-trusted gurus

        - A repentant self-made millionaire that now wants to "give back" to the IM community

        - A seller that has NO memory ...
        • He only has 100, no 75, no 50, no 27, no 14, no 9, no 3, no 1 digital download left
        • His product costs $5,000, no $3,000, no $2,500, no $1,000, no $799, $7 today only
        • The offer closes at midnight tonight - but you can still by it 6 months later
        • I made 6 six figures* in July (* $2,844,630 spent on ad blasts)
        • His privacy statement says: "I will never rent or sell your personal contact info" The Fine print says: I may, from time to time, share your non-personal list identifer (email) with certain 3rd party trusted business partners who may send you offers that you may want to see which may be in your best interest that may require a substantial outlay of personal resources that may bankrupt your immediate household.

    hahah wow this is great...

    Strange how everyone knows all about this...

    26. You can talk for 2 hours on one simple subject that could have been summed up in a minute. And then you make a lot of money from talking.

    This being said, there's a fine line between "gurus" that people hate and just flat out good online marketers who know how to sell. I think a lot of it comes down to value and whether or not the person really cares to help others. Knowing how to sell something, even from my example, is not a bad thing. Don't we all want to make money after all?

      Man, I'm enjoying this thread!

      You're a Guru if:

      You promise to show people the secret...and it's one they told you about, a year ago.

      Someone calls you brilliant, and you act like you hear it every day.

      You sell the "Secret To Making $1,000" and it only costs $1,000 for the course.

      You sell a course on Doing Simple Math. The course is $169 in cash or 12 payments of $69.95 (OK, I stole that one from a comedian)

      You have 50 testimonials...all of which are from other Gurus that you also give testimonials to (Too close?)

      You think refunds should be either outlawed or given in sticks of gum.

      You are teaching a subject on how to make money...in a niche that you just heard about a week ago.

      You call an expert about a niche you just learned about, and at the end of the conversation pitch a $5,000 Mastermind membership to teach them about that same subject. (I've had almost exactly that happen)

      Every family get together ends up being you...in the middle of the room...talking about your new thing.

      You refer to friends as "Future Clients"

      You go to a friend's wedding and see, by the size of the crowd, how many new clients you should be able to get before you leave.

      You say a few words at a cousins funeral. And then when nobody applauds, you think "Tough room".

      You think the word "Upsell" is a charitable thing to offer.

      Hanging on your wall, instead of the first dollar you ever made...you have the first dollar you ever refused to refund.

      You can say "I bill my consulting time out at $1,000 an hour" without bursting out laughing.

      Boom!

      Damn these are getting good!

      I think I'm going to be a proper Guru and steal all the funny ideas and then release a book titled "Signs that Your an Internet Marketing Guru"... 'You consider yourself friends with Frank Kern and Tony Robbins because you watched one of their videos.' That's just too funny!

      Here's may add:

      34. You say the word "Dude"... a lot!
      35. You recently started surfing, but you drive a 100K Range Rover... and have a lambo in the Garage!
      36. Your wife hasn't seen you in three years, but 10,000 people saw you last night on that webinar thingy...
      37. You'r a real success... but you have 20,000 posts on the warrior forum and you only joined last year!
      38. When you found out your cousin had Influenza you rang to congratulate him on the domain name purchase.
      39. You bought your daughter a kitten... but at night when no ones watching you dress it up in star wars outfits and sell the pictures online...


      NEXT!

    2. Every note you write to your wife is filled with bullet points and a PS:

    3. You include the words Re:, notification of payment received and _______ in your subject lines

    4. If asked for advice about something by a friend, you convince them it's a scam before trying to sell it to them for twice the price

    5. You can only write weird numbers such as 59673.71. This made you flunk your math courses in school so you dropped out and became an Internet marketer

    If you have any extra ways how you can spot a guru then please add them below

    Um ... not every note.


    30-something. You start your ebook with 9 pages of fluff explaining why your ebook doesn't have any fluff, and you think every word of that drivel is important.

    I'm no. 2 and 3.. but I don't consider myself a "Guru" (maybe a little )

    Here's another way to spot a "Guru":

    Gurus are givers - they are always willing to share information and not expecting anything in return.

    43.You convince people that all the so called gurus out there are scamers,
    and only you are the real deal, in spite of doing EXACTLY the same thing they do.

    44.You casually mention that you are NOT a guru 124-317 times every day.

      Loved it, because it hits home. And usually, nobody just called them a "Guru"...they just want to remind you...one more time...that they aren't one. One of the best so far.

    Nothing on this list applies to me so I guess I'm not a guru.

    But then again, claiming to be NOT a guru makes you somewhat of a guru too.

    I was curious what is going on here.... so come back again and adding some more points..... I added 10 and 11 point on this list and now.......

    40. You sell product for only $1 and you are saying it is the secret to be millionaire though you are earning at most 2 to three figure here

    41. your seccess history makes you lazy and you are traveling all the world ( I got a email last day.... a so called marketer is traveling all around the world!! )

    I had a post of the WF.... regarding low competition product on Clickbank but I did not get a single product name..... Actually no one will let you know their business secret as they do not want a lot of competition in their business. So all most of them as fake and they are trying to earn some money with their sweet talks....
