So I have been seeing these ads a lot lately for “I’ll teach you how to make money doing this!”, and of course I have to pay them a seizable amount. Ok that’s fair.

I know it’s probably something like this:

They find a method X that makes ok money, do X for a bit, then sell a course on how to make money doing X. Then they make a ton of money selling courses on how to do X, show themselves in a Ferrari and say “see how much money I made doing X? You can too! Just pay me $997!”

My question is: is it ALWAYS a scam? Or are there legitimate gurus out there that teach you stuff that can legitimately teach you how to make money.

And to those that are going to say: “the problem is that they are selling a course that you can easily find information online for free”. I don’t mind paying for a course that I can easily find the information online, because part of the reason for paying for it is that you are committing yourself to that, without commitment it’s much harder to get profitable.

My main concern is: is it always a scam that you cannot make any money out of it, or hardly any money?

    I used to think they’re all scams, but I know a few people that got started off with a good course.

    There’s definitely useful stuff out there, especially about ecomm. I would stay away from the mainstream stuff though (“start an agency”, “affiliate marketing”).

    If you join the real world by andrew Tate for example you get all the stuff you could potentially find online in 1 place which saves you time and as you said youd BE committed after paying 49 dollars a month. Good Thing with this particular course is theres a lot of different money making techniques in one course. For example Antiprophet offers “individual” counseling to make a profitable even anonymous YouTube channel for 2 to 3 thousand dollars. The most important thing to remember is to absolutely stick to something and keep on doing stuff in that area building your skill and eventually monetize it. I was in the real world for 3 months i found it to be very inspiring and the mindset YOU are going to grind because NOBODY ELSE is coming to safe you helped me a lot to get things going. Sadly nothing besides the AI and content creation campus caught my interest and after couple months i thought alright i learned a lot and i can do the rest myself to get started. If you have no Idea where to go which skill to pick and just look for some skills and areas to explore try it a month its just 49 dollars. Alternatively there are good paid courses out there but mostly for a lot of money and just one taught Skill.

    I don’t think so. But some are going to offer more value than others. Often you can get the info they provide for free. But by paying and having it all in one place you might save on research time. I think it really depends on what they are teaching on and what the focus is. If you pay you probably will probably put more effort in. Something like a full course on how to use adobe premiere or something when you know nothing doesn’t seem like a scam. Just reading money rather than time.
