Saw a post today about a girl being a “pet psychic” who is apparently super successful. Wondered what other examples are out there.

    Their business is selling their “course” to the suckers who don’t realize with just a bit of effort they can find better & completely free information online. Heck their “customers” can build the exact same, likely much better, “course” themselves with ChatGPT & a day of effort.

    Now the real trick is getting enough suckers so you can start buying real estate, or other income producing assets, then turn around and create courses on how to become a millionaire buying real estate. Now you have two income streams, selling "courses and real estate. And then start using your “success” to lead some real estate syndications to put a minimal amount of your capital at risk to maximum you return potential, utilizing advantageous profit splits, leverage & other suckers money to bump your return, not to mention the sweet sweet fees you earn.

        There’s always something free available now, or with a countdown timer to make up pretend obsolescence, that way I have your info. Now it’s time for the upsell. Once you spend the first $1 I’ve got my hook set, it’s all about reeling you in for the upsell. It’s the same formula across the board.

        Even if you were willing to pay $10k for my “course”, and sadly there are many more expensive than that, I wouldn’t take your money. I would rather find some free resources and point you in the right direction than waste any time creating a “course” or taking advantage of people.

      To be fair - time is money. For some, spending 6 hours on a course and then get to it is worth more than trying to piece together 50 hours of content.
