My favorite Net Entrepreneur Alex asked me a question in his last comment and I thought I´d look into it a bit more.

His comment: “OH… I’m still reading the free report. I’m extending the pleasure as much as I can. :)

No, seriously. I will write about it. Just as a teaser, despite the fact some, or most, of the stuff there are about things we know, it should be looked at from a different perspective. You and I know those things because were are 9 months around here. What about other people? What about a complete beginner? Does it have any real value for him? I think it does.

If I had read this report during my first month I think I would have been more focused and saved about 3 months of time learning those things in other ways.

Some concepts are going to be hard to grasp for a complete beginner, but I think that it should motivate him to learn more about it. That is the required focus the beginners usually lack.

So, for a teaser, that’s it. I would really recommend it to a beginner or even for someone like us for motivation, focus, and a slap in the face.

What did you think about the report?”


So here are my thoughts on this mysterious free report we are talking about:

LOL I have to admit, I wasn´t able to even finish it, so maybe I should not give my opinion on the actual report. However I can explain why it is that I did not finish it.

First, I saw you all hyped up about it and thought you would put up an interesting and descriptive post about it anyways, saving me time to read it myself :P

Second, and I already talked a bit behind the scene with you about it, is that I really dislike the way I had to get the report, sitting through a number of videos and sales pages, clicking out of upgrading and buying more, seeing the price from his system going down considerably and leaving me with a really bad feeling about it

Third I read a few chapters but could not shake the feeling it was a waste of time reading since it looked more like a salespitch and some rehashed methods than anything else.

Fourth if what it teaches me is to become as annoying of a salesperson, (granted, very wealthy but even more annoying and sleek) I´d rather throw in the towel now and start making my living washing dishes.

So in short, THAT type of sales and marketing just isn´t my thing.

Did it get me motivated? Well yes, it did, but not in the way you would expect. It got me to look at my own methods and work harder on what lies close the my own heart.

But seriously, making money online is fabulous, making the type of money the big gurus are making could be even better, but I really feel I should be ok with what I am doing.

And like I said before, a salespitch like that to me is not OK. It is too intrusive and in the face to my likings. Will I lose a lot of money because of my train of thought and unwillingness to oversell things? Probably yeah.

But I rather lose that money than lose myself, besides, there are plenty of ways you can make money without tricking people or selling them things they really already know and really don´t need.

You already mentioned it in your post Alex, this world is too full of people trying to sell rehashed crap and taking money from newbies, this mmo is already filled up too much by newbies who go from the best thing to the next best thing, spending tons of money without ever being able to actually make money, because they spend all their time learning yet another new system, and trying out the next best thing these gurus tell us.

So there you have it, my thoughts on the mysterious report Alex and I are talking about. If you have gotten curious, you might want to check out his blog in the near future, since he mentioned in his comment that he will share his thought on it :P (LOL Alex, now you have got to go back to writing  :P )

As for the “value for a beginner” theory, even this blog could have value for beginners, and I am not charging anything nor am I trying to sell anything LOL … ok, granted, I also don´t make the $$$ the mysterious report writer does, but that is a whole different story.

However, I do feel there are other good places where a beginner can learn, without the salescrap and actually getting real support without spending all his savings on buyings systems and books and accidently getting in a membership he forgot to cancel.

That is about for my thoughts, looking forward hearing your thoughts on my thoughts :P

PS This blog is no longer Do-Follow. I have developped a 0 tolerance for spammy comments and they will be deleted, so save yourself the trouble. However, feel free to comment if you have something interesting to say, you might just get mentioned in a new post (like I just did with Alex) and get your backlink anyways!
