Why does anyone buy courses?

It makes me sad that people actually buy courses from Tai Lopez, dan lok and so on, they actually think by buying these courses that their lives will become better. In reality, they're just losing money.
99% of courses doesn't make any sense, and you can find out ALL of the information by a google search (and on blackhatworld).

I buy programming courses on Udemy, do you include me in that?

Not at all! Those courses are mostly legit

oh yeah, when you don't know what to do with the 5 bucks sitting idle in your pocket, i suggest buy a good course

PEOPLE are buying dreams. Not courses.

If you are buying such thing like "how to be millionaire" The best thing you can expect are some psychology and investing (long term) tricks. HOWEVER, if you buy programming course or Any other method like.. How to make sales on eBay - you are actually purchasing time machine. Because you will not be istant millionaire, but you will save up 1-2-3 years of trying and learning.

SO what most of The people expect is that they will be rich istant after purchasing

I think hardest thing when you learning new thing is seing the subject complete and realizing what steps you should pass through in order to achieve your goal. At the begining if you have such a courses like you mentioned at least you know at the end where to go after. So thats huge time saving at the begining. Ofcourse these days you have free courses for this purposes too but not up to date many times and many of them is like free trial up to some point and after that point you should pay for premium content.. nothing changing

Reasons I see why -

People want being spoonfed - for the majority of the population hearing the words "blueprint" "Step-by-step guide" and other words like these is like a tickle to their ears

Regardless if it's a scam course - or something they're actually passionate about; ie. courses about baking etc.

No one:

Tai Lopez: You know what's worth more than money?
KNOWLEDGE!

Is the Tai Lopez train still chuggin' along? Feels like that guy has been MIA for a few years now lol

I like being spoonfed some topics like coding or hacking. It's easy when someone has already planned the material. Not gonna make you a great coder or hacker, but it makes things easier to understand and I like understanding different topics on surface level.

Sadly, he's not vanished
Despite that he's been called out and exposed alot of times on YouTube, there are still people that buys his courses

ppl want money or a route to money
ppl want to learn
ppl want to know
ppl want to recreate the success (as the one teaches or fakes )

People buy courses for 2 major reasons:

1) To save time - this is actually quite good and it will serve you well if you select the right course. For example, if you want to start a specific business and someone else has already done that before you, figured out the ups and downs, connected the dots, failed 100x before succeeding once, etc... you can save all of that time / effort / money with just a few hundred bucks. That's an AMAZING deal. This is also the reason why people read books - to gain knowledge and experience in a few weeks/months that would otherwise take them years or even decades. After all, courses are just an "upgrade" of books in different format.

2) As another member put it very beautifully above, to buy dreams. These are your typical people who want to get rich overnight and want to be spoon-fed (most of BHW and a big part of the general population for that matter). You can literally sell these people anything, because they are buying dreams, not saving time. So quality doesn't matter, only promises and marketing does. These are the people targeted by marketers such as Tai Lopez.

They also become regular customers and will buy any shit you throw at them, because they get addicted to it (much like drugs). Finding out the next "trick" to become a millionaire in 7 days becomes practice, instead of actually practicing what they learn.

I bought Only one form udemy

Because no one wants to get rich slow
Rich people get paid for their value
Others get paid for their time

just to help you bro:

There's some gramma mistakes on your site

They clearly pity the course makers so they wanted to "donate" their hard-earned $

Because people are people and they need a leader/teacher/authority/alpha male/god etc.
Another reason is they don't know about https://ocw.mit.edu/
