GURU FODDER Bites Back

You've never heard the term before?

You will - it's going to be everywhere:

GURU FODDER - the term used to describe those unsuspecting souls who get taken in by the hype and oversell seen everywhere, but particularly in the internet marketing arena.

The time has come for The Anti Hype to speak.

I love a good sales letter BUT it must be truthful and whatever promises are made must be met after the sale is completed. Is that true in the internet marketing arena?

In the main, I think not. There's $1millions made overnight just by opening boxes, we can all work in our underpants (what a horrible image that conjures!), we can sit back on the beach next to our multi million dollar mansions with a quick check of our computers every few hours to check how much has rolled in.

OK, so I'm a cynic, but then I am The Anti Hype!

This lens is not about guru bashing but more to do with quality and honesty.

"$15 million more in my bank account before I woke up!"

 

Do we believe this stuff?

There is no need to lie to get people to buy your products - yes you may make a small fortune quickly but you'll be found out - eventually.

There are some highly respected names that follow this practice - get you on board then don't provide the ongoing service promised.

That's bad enough when you have money you can afford to waste BUT when you're just trying to find a business to get you out of a hole then that is just unacceptable.

The Anti Hype is here to identify what is real. What is good and what really lives up to the expectations.

Sure, there will be some heavy hitting sales messages. That's OK, but only if the product lives up to its billing.

Still not sure what I'm talking about?

Take a quick look around the outside of this lens. See the adverts? There not mine. They arrive because this lens talks about internet marketing.

Do any of those adverts and links make you feel uneasy? They do me! Many of them just ooze hype.

Now, do you believe what they say? Are you intrigued? Do you click through just out of interest?

Do you find yourself reading the rest of the sales pitch?

Do you get an itch and find your hand reaching for the plastic?

If you answered yes to any of those questions I'm afraid you are Guru Fodder and you need to talk to The Anti Hype immediately.

Go to the end of this page and write to me - don't delay, it could have serious consequences for your wealth!

    Thanks for the tip about http://doghealth1.com I love it! I asked her to email me about another doggie issue. It would be nice to work together on a project. Anyways, I like the way you operate!
