A great example is the "lazy stoner" kid. He came out of nowhere with some YouTube videos, put out a product, made some cash then disappeared and probably spent it all on weed. Do you think that guy could ever show his face and sell a product again? I doubt it. People who do this shit are the one bit wonders of the I'm world, may as while strike it while its hot but it better be worth it. Then you have the guys like kinghuman that don't do big aleezy promotions and earn passive residual income without losing their morality. I realize this is a blackhqt forum, that's where we all got our roots obviously, but the reality is this is not sustainable, big quick money comes with a price.
Apparently lazy stoner is making a comeback on his course. I do know that he makes bank from his host gator affiliate video and all his niche sites. I would say he makes quite a bit of money at the moment but that could change then he will try to make a comeback, like I've heard he's doing.
I'm actually working on an amazon video course right now but for 1 reason only.. because I get asked to do courses all the time. BUT I was faced with a Delima.
Make a shitty course and give it away for free that has absolutely no value whatsoever.
Make a great course but charge for it and become one of those full IM assholes.
Or think of another way.... I've come up with a solution that I think will work. Make a kick ass course (22 videos so far) then give it away to my followers for free. Let them know it's coming via social media and e-mail etc so they are ready. let it be free for 48 hours or whatever then charge a small fee for it for the general public.
This way I can spend more time making better courses that are free to my followers however I can charge a small fee to the general public to recuperate cost. As you could imagine a keynote presentation and 22 videos and counting take a up a lot of time.
Of course, with a video course like this if I was going to charge once my followers get it for free I would have to make sure it's actually kickass and worth buying.... and it is. It's full of so much information even I'm over whelmed.
Considering it's not my main income sources and never will be because to be honest they are to time consuming and I hate doing them, I don't care what I make... just enough to cover the membership site onetime fee, give a bit of cash to my buddy "hatred" on this forum for helping me and some of my time will do.... maybe a couple of beers to go with it.
In my opinion this works both ways, I deliver what the followers are asking for then I get my time back via payments later on for making the detailed video course.
Not to mention every asshole I outrank on YT flags my shit (alex) I'm limited to 15 minutes on YT so it's a bit hard to upload long detailed videos haha. I've had quite a few of my older video taken down from flags, no idea what the reason is. never mind, I'll keep fighting the fight and outrank the gurus who claim they are the kings at SEO when in fact they rank shitty easy 0 search volume keywords then tell people to join their university. I'm doing it for the lulz
