What never ceases to amaze me is that free thinking adults, who have the ability to switch their computer on, never seem to want to understand a very simple premise, which is - if it works, why is it being sold? Seriously, why would somebody, who has 'discovered' a method that makes them untold riches want to share that with the mass IM'ing hopefuls and reduce its effectiveness?
Here's a fact, the things that really work are either very common (and free) knowledge, or very few know about and very few will know about for a long time - it's only when others start catching on to it that people try to make a fast buck by selling to the masses, and that's the point this information is all but worthless and at best has a very close sell by date. There are lots of things and software I've discovered/coded for myself and which nobody else is using and there is NO way I'd sell that, it's far to valuable to me.
And there's the rub, most people know deep down that most of it is BS, but they WANT to believe. They want to buy into something that gives them hope. But think about it, if you had discovered some secret 'thing' to make you money, would you utilize it and make lots of money? Or sell it to the masses, reduce it's effectiveness and make less than you would by utilising the knowledge yourself? The fact these 'gurus' sell knowledge tells me just how much they actually value that knowledge.
I've not watched a webinar in my life, and I don't read 'guru ebooks'. I've never signed up to a 'gurus' list, and when I end up on one by accident, I get off of it. I'm far to busy utilising the knowledge I've researched/learnt/experimented/discovered and making a living. I honestly perceive the word 'guru' and a comedy term.
What these 'guru' antics do though is create a self perpetuating sales culture that feeds itself. This has to be one of the few industries where the sell doesn't even need to be subtle. The sell can make laughable hyperbolic claims then demand $200 of your money! Lol! The funnier thing is, it works.
