There is a shocking new trend in the Internet Marketing world now days and it’s driving me to drink. That trend is the new $997 price tag on Affiliate Marketing training products. Where do these product creators get off charging people an arm and a leg when the economy is falling apart? People are out of work and struggling to pay for groceries. The argument they will make is that it is your money and if you want to spend it on their products that’s not their fault.

Well thats BS. These so called “Guru’s” make unimaginable claims to millions of dollars in profits and make it out like if you just spend your last $997, then so will you. I’ve got news for you folks. It won’t happen like that. You want to know why they will let you look over their shoulder, copy their campaigns, and see “exactly what they do” to make MILLIONS a year in affiliate sales? BECAUSE THOSE CAMPAIGNS ARE OLD and not making money for them anymore.

They do make millions, but that’s not profit. Pay close attention when you watch their videos and you will notice they never use the word PROFIT in relation to the millions of dollars they claim. They say, millions of dollars in affiliate SALES. That’s because they don’t want you to realize that a large portion of those sales was due to a considerable ad spend.

Now don’t get me wrong, many of them do make several hundred thousand dollars a year profit, but these are the best in the industry, and they do it by SELLING YOU $997 CLASSES!

Starting today I am going to work together with the community, with any internet marketers who will join my bandwagon, and I am going to try and develop a legitimate training site, one that contains as much fundamental knowledge as possible to train you how to make your OWN techniques and “million dollar secrets”. I am tired of seeing people suckered in and dropping $997 on old and warn out campaigns with the promise of $millions of dollars while you eat ice cream and sleep on your couch. ITS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

Where do these people get the balls to do this? I remember 3 or 4 years ago when I started in Internet Marketing, the $47 price tag seemed insane. Then it was the $77 price tag, and then even $97. After that they jumped up to $197 for the really hardcore “Guru” stuff, and now $997? Where does it end? I wouldn’t be surprised if the next Mark Ling or Mike Filsaime product came out at a price of $1497.

Listen. Don’t buy them! DO NOT BUY this crap. Read my top 5 SEO blogs, scour the internet for free stuff, there is a lot of great training out there. $997 is too much and you can use that money to build your first website, get some articles made, get some backlinks, and actually make some money.

Ok, anyways, I just needed to blow off some steam and warn everyone. This whole thing is getting out of hand. Don’t fall victim to their promises or ridiculous price tags.

Stay tuned in the coming months as I am re-vamping my training and starting from scratch with a more advanced, more professional method that can get you started FOR FREE.

Thanks for stopping by!
