I think that maybe the god love the one who have succeeded.
I hate to be rude and everything, but she had a lot of luck when almost everyone was banking it HARDER than her, and I doubt she is making that much anymore (if she is, it’s because of all the sub-affiliates she signed up aka MLM style). Also, I don’t mind giving advice to other publishers and whatnot, but to write an “ebook” and sell information that you can get for free on any webmaster board is just scummy in my eyes. But that’s my opinion on people who do these types of “get rich quick 'cause it’s just soooo easy” style ebooks. If they really had the answers, and were really the gurus they make themselves out to be, then they would duplicate their system 100’s of times over and multiply their profits to some insane amounts of money, isntead of selling their “secrets” for $50. And then they give that whole pitch about how they like helping people? Really? Then why don’t you help them by giving them free advice instead of trying to profit off of everything. I am sorry when someone dies, especially at a young age, but I hate these self-proclaimed gurus that just hurt people in the longrun rather than really help them.
Of course everything Rudl did was BS. He was a scammer. But he was a damn slick one and you gotta respect how far he ran with it, and how good at it he was.
Agreed.
Some people may not agree, but I feel that if you can figure out the loopholes in the system, and exploit them to your benefit, more power to you (as long as it doesn’t hurt or kill anyone in the process).
I do take issue with a lot of what’s been said in this thread.
The products that these marketers are promoting DO have a lot of valuable information in them. For your information, I’ve never actually bought one of these ebooks, but I’ve read a lot of the “free chapters.” From this information alone, along with newsletters etc, I’ve doubled my affiliate sales at least. I still haven’t even put most of it into practice, because it does take effort to do.
To say that “everything Rudl did was BS” is in itself BS. The marketing techniques he promoted work. They’re certainly not BS.
And to say that you can get all the information in them elsewhere on the web is, almost, true. But - so what? You can get pretty much any information you want for free. It’s harder finding it all packed into one place. The same is true of any other ebook.
I’m not saying Corey was a saint. Far from it. His marketing was full of BS on an information level. But then, he was trying to sell a product at the end of the day. How many adverts or bits of marketing do you actually believe entirely? At least his product and services had some value.
I think there has been way too much dissrespect floating through this thread.
As far as Im aware of he never physically hurt anyone. This man lost his life in a car accident. It shouldn’t matter what kind of tactics he used to sell his product. Give the guy some respect.
I’m sure that plenty of people here would have given up a lot to be in his position.
