Internet Marketing Newbies Are Idiots - Official

Started by TheAntiHype · 10 months ago

One of Guru Fodder’s loyal subscribers today told me about an email current doing the rounds, which has stirred me into an agitated state.
Imagine a small store in which Bad Guru (played by Michael Palin) is behind the desk and a hapless Guru Fodder (played by John Cleese) wa ... Continue reading »

    Ha Ha!

    Brilliantly funny. I laughed for 10 minutes. I'd love to see Palin and Cleese do this adaption on TV for real.

    In terms of the internet I am a newbie, but I am no idiot. And yes, I have received a promotion for a program that used this language and worse.

    I really enjoy your posts. You tell it like it is and offer real "free" information. Not the free with the price tag. Great article!

    Thanks Denise. When there are so many really good sources of quality information on the internet I'm amazed that these tactics actually work. It gives me something to write about. Now on to the TV series... Mark

    That is it precisely, in this world no one returns anything even with the money back guarantee. Thats what they count on, that you will forget or find it totally useless but are too lazy to return it and get your hard earned money back. These programs are all marketed with a great deal of hype, and hot air usually the product itself is just a guide on information you can get on the net for free. Its a billion dollar industry so there must be enough idiots out there * sorry, that pay cash for it.
    I should know I have seen, heard, and tested most of them, and its alot of hot air.
    Good post, and I love John Cleese- that would certainly be a popular video! Three cheers!!!

    Hi Teri, thanks for your comment. Yes, I'm sure we've all read the sales letter & the tesimonials & the guarantee & seen the proof & got our cards out!! I'm all for people making money but not when others are exploited in the process. Mark

    Hi Jean-Pierre, we've all been there! Please don't misunderstand me, I'm not saying all products are bad, far from it there are some excellent products available, I'm referring to the tactics used to sell them and the sometimes poor quality that simply does not live up to the promise. Good luck with your endeavours & thanks for your comment. Mark

    Jean-Pierre's last blog post..Stop Smoking - Easy Way To Stop Smoking - How I did It
    Oh yes. That is definitely the right way - BUT many of us don't know which is the best to buy! As time goes by I'll be talking about the programs / books that are useful and not the usual drivel. Mark

    Blessings and Happy Trails,

    Hi Robin, hopefully we can get through the hype and learning curve without spending too much in the wrong direction and getting caught up in some of the "less" honest "schemes" around. Thanks for your comment. Mark

    LOL! Really enjoyed your post Mark. How true this is for many of us, although I don't consider myself an idiot. Thanks for a good laugh...
