It's utter garbage, watch this video for clarity:
The whole reason why he is everywhere is that inside the course there is an affiliate program for the course, so these kids create TikTok pages and then get people in and they end up doing the same thing.
It's a whole pyramid scheme. This video will give more clarity:
The only people who show angst against Tate have no idea what Tate is all about and are CLEARLY jealous of his marketing skills.
First, I've actually been in the group - real research not just watching talking heads talk about it. It is legit and makes absolutely NO promises to anyone. All the professors say the exact thing, "we're here to show you HOW to make money in the new economy and why you should". They say "most will fail bc they don't work hard enough or they aren't smart enough"...which is true. No matter how much you want success, if you don't have the mental capacity AND if you don't work hard at it, you won't succeed.
The info they provide is good (I'm into copywriting so that was my focus). The banter and comradery is great. They push each other to succeed...and they actually help each other.
The whole POINT of Hustler University...which like 99% of people talking about it miss... is that it is a feeder school for his War Room. So, they recruit you into HustlerU...if you succeed, if you "want more" and if you show your drive, you can get into the War Room. (Actually, you can just pay to get into War Room but they'll kick you out if youre not productive) The War Room is like 5k to get in and there are thousands of people in it. The War Room is about creating REAL money. You've got a skill or some money at this point, so now you can do "real work" and make "real money".
As for the marketing, it is brilliant. And, more importantly, it is LITERALLY how most tech and IM marketing works: affiliate marketing. What makes it brilliant is the advertising material available and the medium. The tates create A LOT of content and it is on trend, entertaining, shocking, sexy, educational, fear-inducing, affirming and inspirational....literally covers EVERY fundamental of marketing content. Marketing material for software cannot do that.
Also, it lends itself very well to tik tok....you know... the most recent and easily manipulated viral platform on the scene...
Everytime I see a negative post about HU, I know the person writing it has no clue, is jealous, is childish and not serious. Lol...I mean, come on...the guy built a 60k+ strong paying group with 0 ad spend. As Tate says, don't be impressed i got 60k to pay me $50. Be impressed i got 60k people to KEEP PAYING $50 month after month.
When you see something working well, you don't complain and fume and whine about it. You figure out how it works and integrate those systems into yours. Be the Borg not a whiney child.
Disclaimer: I am NOT in HU or war room nor am I an affiliate. I paid for 1 month to see what uts all about and canceled. The spend was worth it for me. Game recognizes game. That's all.
But, as per your friend....he's coming in a bit late to the day. The commission used to be 50%. Lots of competition now.
