Ok. I'll admit I'm looking forward to nickycakes' post as much as anyone here, and that I rofled a bit when I saw the post. But that said, some of this shit is a bit ridiculous. I don't know paul, and don't know his campaigns aside from the obvious. So I hesitate to fully defend or ostracize him here.
Hardly surprising... the only reason any of these "super affiliates" start a blog with big earnings screenshots is to build their downline and sell to newbs. bait 'em by providing some good information at first and then, suddenly, when your subscriber count is high enough, no more good information and upsell upsell upsell.
Uberaffiliate,Cashtactics,they're all the same.
Ok. Now I never tried to label myself as a "super affiliate" (partially because I hate that term). But I do know at least a bit about blogging, and let me tell you it is a major fucking time drain. Now I love posting, and don't plan on letting it die anytime soon, but that said it's a bit annoying not making jack off something that absorbs time like that does.
I've managed to make an ok amount off mine, but in all honesty if we break it down, it's not exactly a massive payday. So people want to make a buck or two off their blog. Some go overboard. aight.
Deal with it, because they already gave you a fucking lot more information than was "owed" to you.
I don't see what the big deal is.
We're all affiliate marketers, it's in our nature to try and earn more $.
No matter how much "free" information is out there, there will always be people who are willing to spend $ and be spoon fed what to do.
If someone spends $1000 and learns some information that makes him $10,000, was it a bad deal for either side?
Amen. While I personally think $5k is a pretty excessive price,
take a look at how many people come here wanting their hand held. In spite of all the free information out here, some people really want that.
Reading back on this post, I feel like a softy. So I'm going to reiterate. Is it a scam? Fuck if I know. The price seems high, and I'll admit it seems like a really odd move for someone who says/is/might be successful in AM. And yes, I rofled a bit at the post when I saw it. I couldn't believe it actually.
But there is definitely a use for such a hand holding service.
