Time to put the horses head in the gurus bed. Classic! I love it!
albert grande 02.12.10

Hey Alex.
I’ve been following you for a while. I know that have have honesty and integrity.
Honestly, I have not been burned by any of the gurus. I have purchased a number of products. Some have been better than others.
All of the products I have purchased have helped me down the path.
In some of my niches (for example see Pizza Therapy), I have been very successful.
My struggle has been to expand to other niches.
I am interested in anything you have to say.
pizza on earth,
albert

Hey Alex,

Powerful stuff indeed,

As you know I have just re-read gurus dream and it gave me a slap on the head moment.

I am eating my ugly frog.

If I can get as much or MORE out of the Gurus Nightmare as I did out of your other reports then bring it on.

I would like to say thanks for cutting through all the rubbish that I think everyone gets spoon fed each and every day when they open their emails.

Can’t wait,

James
Max 02.12.10

Sounds interesting. Keep putting your heart into it. I can’t wait to see what you have next! Count me in on the free coaching. I would love to have the freedom you talk about. Sometimes i look at the debt I have and feel a little overwhelmed, but yet i keep looking for the right path for me. Hopefully you can help me turn the corner for good!
Al 02.12.10

Sounds good, please send me a copy.
Brian Clark 02.12.10

My name is brian clark, I’ve been building A few websites and I have some rankings. No cash so far, I’m starting to think that I need to own my own products in order to make A profit. I’m very interested in what you have to say. The frustrating thing is that you have to spend crazy amounts of money in order to see any real results. I don’t have much money right now and my parents have taxes and bills to pay, along with myself.
Beverly Moore 02.12.10

Alex,

You are a real trooper. God Bless you for looking out for the little guy.

I am interested in receiving the Gurus’ Nightmare and your coachin.

Keep up the good work.

Robert Ramos 02.12.10

Count me in, Screw The Guru’s – I’ve Paid Thousands upon to them…

And For What? Just another little piece of the puzzle. Video, seo , articles, banners, face book, myspace, list building, solo ads, ppc, ppv, blogging, backlnks, Spit Tests, Crazy Ninja systems, formula’s, Scripts, Twitter, Blah, Blah, Blah…. This is Enough To make Your Head Spin Like The exorcist. “Hint – The Movie”

Errggghhh – They always forget to tell you how it all pieces together & what types of markets they work best on!

Your Passion To Help Others is Really Transparent & Inspiring…

I’m all in Alex,

Nick 02.12.10

Hey Alex,

Like many people, like you say, i’ve been a victim of all the guru’s hype and and all the guru’s BS out there.

I’ve had email account after email account that were all blocked up with this BS hype and i’m sick of it.

I’ve been online for just over 18 months and i can honestly say that there are a select few marketers that i have learned anything from and that has helped me in my online business.
( you are one of them of course)

So count me in for your free coaching alex, i’m there i wouldn’t miss it for the world.

Cheers,

Nick
Robert 02.12.10

Well I am not really sure what it was that you talked about for 15 mins but I will just assume that secrecy was the general idea. After all I am leaving a comment so it worked, whatever it was.
You must be a ninja to do that!!!
Oh and yes, I would like to register for the said secret stuff / coaching because that’s the way I roll.

Ryan Koblasa 02.12.10

Hey Alex!

I am here and ready to follow. I have been spinning my wheels trying to figure out how to even start and am so confused as to how to really get it rolling. All the programs and all the offers make it even harder to make decisions – it’s like I am being pulled in every direction with no clear focus. I need your help and I think what you are doing is great, because the small guy needs a chance to grow as well. All these Gurus with millions in the bank keep throwing out more products and promoting everyone elses products and raking more profits, while the little guy keeps stumbling and getting further in debt. It truely is amazing how much I get marketed by the big guys. I mean, shit, don’t you make enough already???? Why do you need to send me three emails a day? I need your help Alex. Put me in the right direction and show me finally how to make a living online.

I look forward to hearing from you and learning from you as well.

Gary Smith 02.12.10

Hey Alex-
Yes, I’ve spent way too much on the hyped
stuff… oh yes, and with the forced continuity
membership that rehashes this one part of the puzzle. My hang up has been the financial setup and front-end tech stuff. Looking forward to
what you put together.

Sally Cevasco 02.12.10

Hi Alex,

Fantastic! I’m ready. I’ve been studying online marketing for a long time and I HAVE been a victim of many of their hyped up sales launches! Lots of stuff that I purchased and never used.

I’m just starting to make some progress now and can use all the help I can get.

Thanks for caring.
Sally Cevasco
Jack Doherty 02.12.10

Thanks Alex! I know where you’re coming from. I’m tired of the guru hype too, It seems like a lot of these guys only know how to sell one thing: themselves. I look forward to a breath of fresh air from you.
Janet Combs 02.12.10

Hey Alex I can truly say you do great work, the Gurus Dream & Newbies Nightmare are just an example. I have known you since you started and if we had followed you instead of being all over the damn internet we would be making a steady income right now. We are making money but not enough to quit our jobs unfortunately. It’s certainly not your fault, it’s ours for being so scattered and we need to get organized. You give great inspiration especially to newbies. Yeah you have to write the Gurus Nightmare, we’ve all been had by the Gurus in one way or another. They just like to take your money with all the promises and a little piece of the puzzle, then another piece, it just goes on and on. Love ya man, Janet Combs
Jim 02.12.10

Hello Alex

Live coaching hu. Sounds great I am very new to internet marketing so I need all the help I can get and to learn from the best is a big plus.
normz2 02.12.10

Thanks for your comments in your video. You make it sound that you are on the side of the underdog.
There are many self proclaimed gurus. They are selling in a lot of cases useless information, or just parts of the puzzle. A true guru would show the roadmap from start to finish.
James Coe 02.12.10

Hi Alex,

I am a disabled person and I have no other way to earn income other than the Internet. I was in your first coaching class. I did everything you said build a blog but never got the increased traffic you said. I am confused as to what I failed to learn to be successful. I want to continue to trust you but how do I turn things around? Please tell me the secret what have I missed? The biggest factor is finding a coach you can trust. It appears that if you pay a guru $5-10K for coaching like you did you will succeed. Alex for me that is not an option.
Alex I need help for me failure is not an option.
I want to turn my life around in 2010.
patricia 02.12.10

We’ve all been told the same thing just in different ways. How is this different? Does anyone work for free?
Roger Neumann 02.13.10

Hey Alex

I’m one of your past students and I like the way you work and run your business; therefore, you can count me on-board with your new venture. You put everything on the table and hide nothing, unlike other “people” in the IM arena.

Looking forward to the ride.

Roger

Go out and make it a $ucce$$ful day!
Bob Yeager 02.13.10

Alex

You are a prime example of someone who is getting just as tired as the rest of us of the guru rat pack bull.

Good for you man and I’m sure everyone appreciates you.

Byron McDade 02.13.10

Hi Alex,

As always, it is inspiring to listen to you speak.

And your book titles are awesome. Who else would have thought to subtitle a book with ‘Putting horses heads in Guru’s beds?’ It definitely conjures up an image that is hard to forget.

You truly have a gift for ‘telling it like it is’ and giving us ‘little guys’ the tools, training and incentives to help us succeed online.

Looking forward to this new book and more of your coaching.

Best regards,
Byron
Marc Milburn 02.13.10

Hey dude!!

Great video… so much important stuff going on in this video that every needs to take note of.

I was being troubled by everything you talk about for a LONG time until your coaching program last year.

Can’t wait to read the new book!!

Marc!
Ellis Dandy 02.13.10

Hey Alex,

any advice or direction that you can give to a newbie to go from zero to hero would be very much appreciated! It gets exhausting to receive all of this information from the guru’s when they aren’t really showing someone how to get started!

Looking forward to what you have to share!

Kind Regards,
Ellis
Arline Oliphint 02.13.10

Hi Alex

I really appreciate your honesty and integrity. I read your other two books, and they are “right on”. I’ve bought lots of stuff online from various gurus, and some has been pretty good. My biggest issue is info overload, and not getting focused enough.

There is one major “guru’s nightmare” in my life, going on right now. Even though I read your 2 previous books, and would gladly have paid YOU up to $1,000 for coaching, I got approached by a total crook (claiming to be a marketer I respected and trusted) who somehow mesmerized me into parting with thousands of bucks. The so-called coaching has some value, but has not produced any of my money back yet. Instead, I’m in desperate financial circumstances… and so are a number of my friends who were also duped by this so-called mentor.

So, yes, I am living a Guru’s Nightmare right now! You are a breath of fresh air, Alex. I hope I have time to participate in your coaching, as I now need to be working a couple of jobs to make ends meet.
Luz E Restrepo 02.13.10

I only has this website…
I want to learn to suport my family with the internet. I had receive your tweet and started follow you… please don’n live my hand…
I read lots of marketing info and saved to integrate this info in a system that will work!!!
I don’t have an idea how yet… Will you help me?
I am interested in affiliate marketing.
I will be looking for you and your guidance.
My sincere Regards to you.

Luze.
Gigi 02.13.10

Interested in finding out more.
John Sykes 02.13.10

Hi Alex,

Over the past few months, I have watched as the so-called Gurus seem to follow each other and are changing, for once, trying to keep up! I don’t read their emails anymore. But I would like to read your report.
Eric Hook 02.13.10

Sounds inspiring! I would love to get it! I have been info-overloaded and wish to find the real answers, though taking action is a downfall right now for me.

Thanks
Eric
Dan 02.13.10

I’m all “Ears”!

You have my Attention!

I would learn from what you do!
igor 02.13.10

Hi Alex

God where were you in January, I spent $1200 dollars on a gurus reputation and was promised 4 fully built blog sites, this was paid with money that I needed to pay my company taxes, but it was alright. The guru promised the sites in a week and of course I should be making money pretty soon after that. Well its now a month later, no sign of the sites and I have 2 weeks to find the money for my company taxes, thanks guru.

Oh yeah just to make matters worse I lost my job mid January, so after trialling lots of courses written by lots of someones, I was tired and pretty much physically sick of being stressed with the money always going outwards.

However the good news somewhere on one of your sites I found a reference to Glen Hopkins and I thought what the hell, I cannot pay my bills so I may as well splash the cash in one last effort and see what happens. He has been a revelation and actually provides some fantastic teaching, I have achieved more in 3 days than I have in 4 years. This is no exaggeration, I was really shocked when I looked at the copyright statement on my first site and realised, that I had been drifting for 4 years.

So Alex yes I totally agree, up your bum gurus with your false promises I want the action not the reputation.
Karridine 02.13.10

Alex, I’ve gotten phone calls from sales teams at 0230 in the morning, because they didn’t LOOK at my address in Bangkok…

Then try to sell me a $1,400 course, about which I said ‘I would GLADLY PAY $30,000 from the increase in my earnings over the next year, by applying YOUR teachings, Phone-Sales-Team, as I did when I paid $30,000 for the ONE WEEK TRAINING that transformed my minus-$1,000/month clinical practice into $13,000 a month in less than 5 months…”

Uh, no. No credit card? No cash? We don’t have enough FAITH in our own product-courses to enter into a relationship like that. Sorry. -clik!-

So I still teeter on the edge of Earned-a-Bit-Online and Starving-to-Death

I want A RELATIONSHIP… and I’m willing to pay $30,000 out of the excess above $2,000/month

THAT would seem to be a powerful incentive for ANY Mentor, but having 100 like me is $3 MILLION a year, BECAUSE YOU’RE DELIVERING THE SERVICE WE NEED!

Thanks, Alex…
David Barnes 02.13.10

Hey Alex,

One year, full time, and still no money to talk about,embarrassing yes….. man I need help but could not afford the big price of quality coaching , I look forward to what you come up…

Paul Duffy 02.13.10

Hello Alex,

I have a very short list of marketers I trust enough to deal with. I like your attitude and I like where you’re coming from and look forward to your offerings.

Over the years, I have come to the conclusion that there are many so called “Gurus”. Most are just out to get your money and fail to deliver on their promises or fail to provide a total solution.

Time and time again, I make an initial purchase only to find there is an upsell or several to get the complete package which I thought I was buying in the first place! This cannot be honest marketing. When this happens, I then treat the “Guru” as SPAM and Junk and never deal with them again.

Another thing I often notice is a “Guru” running a major marketing campaign for their new product launch and at the same time promoting another “Gurus” product aimed at their market whilst promoting it like it’s the best product around as if there is no conflict of interest.

I would like to see a registry where anyone selling something signs up to an honest marketing pledge of trust so the seller is totally open about what they are selling and buyer knows exactly what sort of deal they are getting.

Anyway, you did say you wanted some comments about “Gurus” and there’s much more where that came from!
Jerry 02.13.10

Sounds like a great mission. How could I get copies of the other two reports?
steven reh 02.13.10

Hi Alex. Thanks for the great information. Yes I have been burnt in the past. No one ever gives you the full package and truth. Its always only one piece of the puzzle.
we need real answers with close one on one mentoring.

Steve Reh
Paul Lear 02.13.10

Hey Alex,

What you shared with us in the video sounds VERY interesting, and really want to find out what it is now.

Plus I love reading your reports cos you always tell it like it is.

*wonders what that magic number of comments is, that Alex has in his head before he writes this report?*

Paul
Jeanette Fitzgerald 02.13.10

Hi Alex,

I’m very excited about your new report and the free coaching you are offering.
I can relate to Robert Ramos post (Video, seo , articles, banners, face book, myspace, list building, solo ads, ppc, ppv, blogging, backlnks, Spit Tests, Crazy Ninja systems, formula’s, Scripts, Twitter, Blah, Blah, Blah….) All of this is very confusing and demanding on my time. As a result I’m not moving forward.

I’m looking forward to receive new direction from you, count me in.

Cheers,
Jeanette
Nancy Ussery 02.13.10

Alex:
You have the best heart and the most passion of any
one on the internet. You are also so sincere.
You want us all to succeed, and I thank you for
that. The biggest problem I have is the guru’s will
sell something they say is easy, but it takes a week
to set up because I don’t have a staff like they do.
Thank you for caring so much about the newbies and
about our futures.
God Bless you and yours,
Nancy
Hugh Fraser 02.13.10

Alex,
I have been with you since the first report and I have tried my hardest to make it in this game and I find it so freaking hard to week after week to keep paying for stuff espically as I have to look after my disabled wife, the only money I, myself have coming in is £50 per week and this is for looking after my wife. I feel so freaking tired of it.

To you and yours

Richard West 02.13.10

Alex,
I have been trying for about three years to start a profitable business online. I’ve fallen for many of the gurus lies and trick and lost alot of money and gotten nowhere.
I am an out of work construction worker, with a bad leg and my dream of an online business has now taken a more serious nature. What was once something I really wanted is now something I truely need and I am understating it.
I listened to your video and Alex if you are being honest, I will be watching and listening very very intently. What you offer means more to me than I can express here.
Ric
Beau 02.13.10

Hi Alex
I retired 6 months ago and need to build an income from the net. I believe this is the only way to go for me…

I have invested in SiteBuilderElite but find that it is so outdated and unwieldy! I was sold on the hype to build hundreds and thousands of websites in a flash (a promise it delivers on brilliantly!) only to discover there is such a thing as getting traffic and offering quality content, one of Google’s prime requirements!

I have just invested in a some tutoring (video) courses and was working on that when one of my mail subscriptions delivered your link.

So, I like what I hear and am intrigued by your teaser to Guru’s Nightmare!

I am eager to hear what you have distilled from your years of experience…

Thanks in anticipation of your next contact.

Beau Compton
Juergen Kosel 02.13.10

Hi Alex,

I agree with you about the gurus (not everyone), but I also realize that newbies are always hungry to consume new information products, the latest fads. I’ve been victim, too, for too long time. The gurus are exploiting that to their best capabilities.

They’ve even educated the newbies so far as to expect a new product every now and then.

I’m really interested in what you see the one thing that stops newbies to make money because I see several reasons like mindset, information overload, not knowing whom to trust, lack of focus etc.

I’ve gone into many niches and make a regular income now, but it was a very hard struggle and I’m still not where I want to be. Count me in for your coaching.

Thanks a lot for your honest efforts!
Michael 02.13.10

Like many others I have a case of “information overload”. Every week there is another product launch from another guru. I am amazed that you are offering free coaching. I am definitely looking forward to the “Gurus Nightmare”.
Robert 02.13.10

Hi Alex,
Thanks for the message.
I have been trying to figure out this Internet Marketing stuff for a year and have yet to make one dollar; while the Gurus are living the dream off of mine and others $$$ and we are living the Newbies Nightmares (great titles by the way), so I am looking forward to the new report.
I am determined to make it but can use the help for sure.
God Bless,
Robert
Mark Ostrye 02.13.10

Hi Alex,

I appreciate how you share the importance of giving exceptional value up front. I’ve build a BFM site and am preparing to drive traffic to a FREE offer.

One of the challenges is, of course, “breaking into” getting JV support when I am new, without a list. I’ll be thinking creatively about this and trying some evergreen tips I picked up from Lee McIntyre recently.

Thanks for your work and my best to you and your new bride! :-) I just celebrated 26 years yesterday with my lady! Cheers,

Mark

P.S. The experts say healthcare expenses can become nation ruining – in numerous nations according to the IBM Healthcare 2015 Report (Executive Summary is online and Free). But what if,…there was new cellular science that could help many people naturally – so profound that it was added to the medical texts but most doctors don’t know about it yet? That’s what helped my son and put me on a journey. MIT called the science “1 of 10 technologies that will change the world”. If you think there may be folks on your list who would like to know about this new hope for better health, I’ve got Free Videos and 100% commissions for you available. I’m migrating my site to a new hosting service today, but I’ll have an affiliate page link that I can send if there’s any interest,…by ANYONE you know. Thanks again for how much you give – I’ve modeled my campaign around many of your concepts.
Darrel Decker 02.13.10

I’m 62 and disabled. I grew up knowing there is no free lunch so the word FREE makes me wary. I’ve spent a lot of money on free stuff so I hope this is not just more hype
Sheila Jackson 02.13.10

Some “gurus” are just salesman with good copyrighting full of hype and no value to the people that they are selling to. I’ve learned from all but not made any money. I’m now going through bankruptcy because my education has been expensive but hasn’t bore any fruit. I refuse to give up, I will succeed and then I will teach what I know, without the hype, to others so they won’t have to depend on someone else for their sustenance. If you can give me what I’ve been missing, then I will pass that to others.
Thank you
Rangarajan Chakravarthi 02.13.10

Alex,
Thanks for the free reports, full of valuable content, you have been releasing from time to time.

Having a good mentor is a blessing. You have demonstrated your uncanny ability to align yourself with some of the greats of internet marketing.This shrewd move catapulted you to the top league.

I am confident those who choose to align themselves with you and learn from you are bound to be successful online.

Wish you more success,
Rangarajan
Richard 02.13.10

I can’t wait to be told the missing link – I see most of us working harder and harder, when I suspect we should be working smarter. After recently meeting some ‘Gurus’ one student told me, ‘They didn’t seem any more intelligent than me, they just seemed to know something they weren’t telling me!’ Is this true?
anthony 02.13.10

Hi Alex,
Great video!Been following you for some time and can relate to everything you said.I too have wasted a lot of cash on products that didn`t deliver.Looking forward to this new report.
Thanks in advance!

John Coates 02.13.10

Hi Alex

You are passionate as ever about your mission.

So many people are looking to you to give them guidance to achieve their success.

The same success that your students have achieved.

I look forward to hearing more.
Graeme McLeish 02.13.10

Hi Alex,

Gurus are like communists in a way. They tell you what they think is good for you rather than letting you decide.

There is always a missing piece to the puzzle, something that they never quite tell you about how to do it and without that piece the whole structure falls down.

What are the steps that you took? What needs to happen when? What are the key ingredients to success?

I am looking forward to reading the report. Just read Guru’s Dream and going to start on Newbie’s Nightmare.

Thanks for the content.

Kind Regards,

Graeme.
Sean Beardmore 02.13.10

Hey Alex,

Hope your good buddy!

Gotta say, before I got on your MWA 2.0, there were so many missing links to why I wasn’t making money online, but thanks to you, and the training you shared, everything became so clear, you cannot fail.

Take care

Sean
bob rettman 02.13.10

Hey Alex, I love the Godfather reference title. You asked so here goes:

A little over a year ago I put together all of the money I could. I quit my job thinking I had about a year to learn all I could a find a way to make a living on the Internet. The gurus found me first. They are good at what they do and they are very aggressive. I went for the hype. I made every classic mistake. I mean, what the hell did I know about Internet Marketing?

I have had one business after the other. I never made millions but always managed to make a living with them. My first business was when I was thirteen years old. I made a good amount of money but more importantly I learned to solve problems on the run. Every business I had I learned from someone who had a successful business in the same niche. I found them to be generous with their time and their knowledge. In return, I would throw them the accounts that were simply too large for me to handle.

It is in my nature to repay someone who has been kind and generous to me. In fact to this day, if I hear of someone who needs something from my old business, I turn the people on to my friends who mentored me. But this business has been extremely hard to crack. First one must learn a completely different language before you can begin. But sadly, I have found the people in this industry to be so mercenary that I was not prepared for this.

I have always believed that all ships rise with the tide! But that is not the nature of this business. Someone suggested that I get a mentor. I must have asked the wrong people because they wanted obscene amounts of money. Thousands!!This is a true fact: I asked someone about mentoring. I received an e-mail back with his terms: I want fifty thousand dollars up front and fifteen percent of the gross for the first year! I will allow the initial payment of the fifty thousand dollars to be paid in two payments 30 days apart. Boy, was this guy barking up the wrong tree. But Alex all was not lost. I did have movement in the first year: I went from a steak period, to a hot dog period, and I am presently firmly ensconced in the oatmeal period. I do have several highlights in my life.

On Sundays I put some can fruit on top of my oatmeal. My main drawback is that I must keep my heat on fifty degrees in order to be able to afford the oatmeal. My problem has been that my hands would become so cold that I was forced to buy a hand warmer to maintain the ability to type. In fact, I have become so adept at living cheaply, that I have been thinking about writing an e-book on the subject “How To Live On A Wino’s Salary,Without having To Drink That Awlful Wine” Of course this is just the working title.

My character building life experience is all thanks to the rather large donations I have made to the gurus. I guess it is my own fault. I must lack the intelligence to be able to make their software and programs work with the same efficiency that they were able to. After all, some of these programs had made the gurus a million dollars a day! I lacked their skill and ability to make it work. The worse so far? My dog felt the cold winter air in the house, he looked in the food bowl, sniffed, turned around, looked me right in the eye, and walked out the door and never came back. I think he is living over at the neighbor’s house! He has a regular job. The plus side? I no longer have any bugs in the house, they have all froze to death.

I used to get a field mouse that would come in the house every winter and drive me crazy! He has moved in with my dog over at the neighbors house. Thanks Alex, I was becoming so depressed, and the two snow storms back to back didn’t help. Three feet of snow gives you cabin fever. I was thinking about hanging myself, but do you know what the cost of rope is?? I tried to hold my breath to death but I only fell down and hit my head on the floor. And then I opened your e-mail! It really raised my spirits because I have been following your experience on line. Your story is inspiring to us lowly Undernet Marketers. Thanks Alex,I watched you go into the trenches and get drunk and corousel with those dangerous gurus. All the while, watching, listening and gathering Intel on them. They didn’t know what hit them! And now you are sharing the intel with us underneters.

Alex,you are a great man and a hero to us all!! I can’t wait for you to share what you have learned with us. Any man that could return me to my hot dog period, I would follow around like a puppy dog and sing his praises forever. God Speed Alex Jeffreys. Your da man! bob rettman, Underneter with visions of grandeur!

Bravo Alex,
Finally someone that I can trust.. :)

Anyway your video make me feel a bit hope at least..
Looking forward what will come here next…
Thanks from me…
reuben 02.13.10

hi Alex,
I’m curious to see if you really are the real deal cause I’ve heard it all before and seen it to in my long years online so after seeing your video presentation I’d love to find out if you truly are the real deal.
I hope so would nice to know that someone really cares and is willing to help people for real no B.S

Thanks
Reuben.

Hi Alex
I am suffering from Guruphobia at the moment, the result of being severly burnt several times. Is this report the cure I have being waiting for.
Cheers Ray.
Kin 02.13.10

hi Alex,

I believe it’s come to the personal power of individuals. There is actually no secret in the internet marketing world. When a newbies come along they would know how to make a living online in 10 days. However, they never have the guts and belief in themselves to take the action to implement what they’ve learn. And these newbies are searching for the quick fix, jumping from one opportunity to another, thinking the opportunity is the problem. but it’s not, it’s them.

I’m really interest to know what your free coaching is about.

Thanks you
Kin Lau
Dan 02.13.10

I believe I’ve found the real deal in you, Alex.
It’s time that I follow someone who can guide and teach the real stuff to be successful.
Yes, Alex. I’m ready to be part of your program.
And a big thanks for being a great and honest person.

Great stuff Alex – keep it coming.
Rich 02.13.10

Hi Alex,

refreshing to hear someone talk without any bull,
at 51 I’m pissed with all the bull coming to my inbox, I,ve spent in excess of £3000.00 over a couple of years looking for that break, learnt a lot but the materials that you are supposed to market are well out of date by the time you’re ready to go and I feel left high and dry and out of pocket,bring it on, lets see wht you’ve got.
ed 02.13.10

hey alex,

i need not tell you what the gurus do! It seems they always leave the crucial elements in the whole proces blank…! When will some one stand out and do what no other has done……might it be you?
To your success,

rich brown 02.13.10

hi alex,
left a post earlier but maybe it was took off because i swore in digust of the gurus.
so keeping it clean, i look forward to hearing from you

thanks
Scott Simkins 02.13.10

Hi Alex
You sound a breath of fresh air, but are you for real?, have been burn’t by the guru’s especially the ones flashing their Bentleys and million pound homes only to discover they leave out vitual information and then trying to get support from them is a joke.
I know I suffer from the newbie nightmares, looking forward to finding out what they are,and more importantly how to stop them
Regards Scott
John 02.13.10

I have not been ripped off by any Gurus, only because I’ve been very careful.

But I’m interested in what you have to offer.
Jim Augustine 02.13.10

I am an older man who listened carefully to your remarks. Did you imply that you might provide free coaching to reveal the one secret that holds people back from success on the internet, or is this another book? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Cheers, Jim A.
Thomas Northrop 02.13.10

Hi Alex

Honestly, I don’t blame the gurus for my limited success online. I blame myself for lack of action. I have spent of ton of money on training that just sits on my hard drive. To tell the truth I have forgotten that I even purchased most of it.

The success that I have found is directly related to two people. You and Michael Cheney. Thank god for you two or I would still be headed in the totally wrong direction.

I find it interesting that the Internet is so rapidly changing and evolving. Things that worked just 6 months ago are not working nearly as well today. The credit card companies, the FTC, the IRS and Google have all impacted the industry recently. I believe it is a time of great change and great opportunity.

A time for many including myself to get back to the basics that you teach so well and build a good solid online business.

I am looking forward to your new book and to the success that it will bring to both of us.

Thanks for your honor.

Neal 02.13.10

Great vid. Agree totally with your comments. I send all of the “guru crap” to my free hotmail box which I check about twice a month – apart from yours and Rich’s. Looking forward to reading the report
Pete Williams 02.13.10

Hey Alex,

Very inspiring video as always. I too have wasted a lot of money buying what the guru’s promote and was getting no where up until recently.

What changed things? I came across the Guru’s Dream. I read that and then did some research on you and have since signed up to your coaching.

I’m a MWA 2.1 member. Only recently started but i’m loving it. I’m holding you to blame for my lack of sleep though! lol.

I thought i’d leave a comment and get in on this free training that you’re offering too just incase i learn any new marketing gems from you.

Take care mate!

Jonathan Lake 02.13.10

Hi there Alex,

I have been on my online marketing journey for about 17 months now and am still to make a life changing amount of money. But I still have the passion. I started to concentrate on building one particular part of my business at the turn of the New Year and have seen exponential growth since then.
I absolutely love your ballsy, give it to em straight way of marketing. Over the past 17 months I have spent thousands of £s with “gurus”. Now I am not saying that the systems and products I bought were rubbish. BUT what I will say is that the complete lack of interest or help after the sale has been scandalous!

I purged my inbox over Christmas and now only continue to subscribe to people who give good useful content with some offers mixed in (we’ve all got bills to pay after all!!). As a result I have found that I have virtually no gurus left in my inbox!! What does that tell you?

And while I am on a rant!! What is with all this “I am going into retirement!” crap that so many of the big names are spouting. Is the recession hitting them and they need to make a few quid from their regurgitated products?!!

Thanks Alex for being upstanding, honest, and a bloody good marketer who cares for his followers. I for one will not be unsubscribing in a hurry.

May your wealth grow with you

Regards

Jonathan Lake (Torquay)

P.S If you are ever in Devon, let me know. A beer looking out over the bay sounds just lovely.

Marcus
Myriam De Clercq 02.13.10

Hi Alex. I must say I like what I’m hearing. I think the mean reasons for the most of us not managing to get started are:

1. fear of getting burned (having picked the wrong way to go – out of all those many possibilities offered by all those gurus out there);

2. not daring to put aside and spend those hundreds of dollars often needed to get in to one of the more expensive programs that offer a more long-term form of one-on-one coaching;

3. not knowing beforehand how much time needs to be put aside daily to build an online business from scratch the right way (rightly organised way);

4. identifying or learning to identify one or more niches that will fit you like a glove based on your personality and personal interests.

To put it all together: we want to be SURE that either time or money spent on education will be well-spent.

Many thanks in advance for a copy of your latest report.
TRBDigital 02.13.10

Hi Alex,
I’m looking forward to reading your new report.

I was really excited to watch this video, especially after reading on Rich Schefren’s blog that you are one of the good one he’s mentored.

Nigel Nix 02.13.10

I am sick and tired of underhanded techniques from so called super boom launches. Yet the servers go down and you get more emails for weeks later. Or “sorry about the broken link” bull!!
I subscribe to lists just to keep my finger on the BS pulse….It’s getting old!
When do we start?
jlchrls 02.13.10

There is so much stuff offered every minute of every day. It is impossible to keep up with it all. Hope your info can turn the tide for me.
Jeff Bode 02.13.10

Hey Alex I enjoyed your other reports and can’t wait to check this one out!

I already have a successful online business, but am always looking to learn more

It’s great that you’re an honest marketer… I try to provide honest value to my subscribers like you!
Jerry 02.13.10

Looking forward to learning more from you. Thanks for your passion to help others.
normz2 02.13.10

You are very passionate. Enjoyed your presentation. I am a do it yourself type of person. I presently have 7 websites.and am putting them up about 2 a month. I have bought a lot of information from the gurus and am putting it all together. They always leave out something. At this point I do have a fair amount of traffic, but low conversions.
Robert Hughes 02.13.10

Hey, Alex

I can only echo most all of the frustrations that everyone has experienced here. At some point I have tried most everything, maybe not as hard as I should – blame me there, but it seems as though no one wants to show a complete process for building a business, without a huge investment.

And before I go one word further, let me please clarify that VERY FEW OF THEM WERE SCAMS, I am not saying that, but they weren’t quite what they were sold to be, or just weren’t what I needed at the time. With the proper knowledge and finances, I am certain I could have eventually made any of them work. So I am not gonna accuse reputable marketers of being “SCAMMERS’, just not always fully disclosing. Ok, that’s clear now.

Anyway-

I too have been on numerous GURU’S lists, only to get the same thing. CUT-n-PASTE JV Emails!

I mean, gimme a break. They are supposedly the best. At least have the decency to re-word the stinking e-mail before sending it.

That just proves to me that they have very little interest in my success. Not all, but most.

Now, before I go on too much, let me say I DO REALIZE that this IS A BUSINESS, and everyone – bar none – is here to make money. It’s not for our health or entertainment. We didn’t choose internet marketing because we were so bored we had nothing else to do.

However, I am afraid that too many of them have forgotten where they came from. Just this week I have heard repeatedly of the heartbreaking story of one such marketer, and can honestly say this is true for many of us alike. Been there, done that.

Some, granted, were born with the proverbial “silver spoon” in their mouth, but not most. Yet wealth seems to erase all of the memories of those hard times and forgetfulness sets in.

It then becomes a dog-eat-dog race to the finish, and the boy with the most “GREEN” toys wins.

Not so here. I believe that actions speak louder than words, and I HEAR YOU LOUD AND CLEAR, Alex.

And I thank you for caring. I have watched your progress for some time now, and am forever seeing SOMEONE refer to you as their mentor, and what a change you have made in their life. I truly hope that this would be my legacy as I progress. I actually have ideas right now for a coaching program that I want to implement AFTER I AM READY TO TEACH OTHERS. And it WILL benefit the little guy.

But, I too still have to get over the shock and awe I have suffered especially this last year from all of the hype.

I get too many e-mails that say “Stop What You Are Doing And I Will Show You How To Succeed”, and they proceed to do just that – by sending me a 45 minute video that supposedly is the secret, only to find out after I can’t fast-forward or rewind that it is JUST ANOTHER SALES VIDEO for a $497 be-all end-all product that I DO NOT NEED! And TIME WASTED! Just be upfront. Is it content, or a sales pitch? I don’t care just tell me!

Anyway, enough ranting from me.

Alex, PLEASE HELP US GET STARTED. I don’t want it ALL DONE FOR ME, just help me do it for myself. I will not bury my head in the sand and give up. I have a family that needs my help, and I will give it, one way or another. I would just like for it to be sooner than later.

You are awesome, and GOD BLESS YOU my friend.

Here for the long haul I hope.

Sincerely
Robert Hughes

“one tired frustrated marketer!”

Hi

Great video as always. I have never bought anything too expensive due to the hype surrounding gurus, but I am a member of a continuity program.

Looking forward to the report.

Alex:-)
James Mohr 02.13.10

Thank you for the info. Have been working on my first project for about six years. Don’t have a problem with the “gurus” yet because I have had difficulty with implementing . . . not their faults. Looking forward to your information that I will take and finally move on!

Larry Williams 02.13.10

Alex..Over the past few months the bull shit has gotten deeper and out of control. The guru’s sound desperate..new gimmicks,new rehashed garbage, selling their business to you…this is f****g ridiculous.. I am unemployed now for 3 months and have spent money I didn’t really have on BS after BS on these crappy products..only to find an up sell that promises to give me the real good stuff..the good stuff never delivers anything but another up sell to more of the same bull shit.
I am sick at my stomach and very disillusioned. I hope you can get me over my cynicism Alex because I am usually a very positive and up beat person .

There is no such thing as The Magic Bullet. I had to learn this the hard way by being taken by the guru’s. I am ready to give um the same medicine they give 1000′ of other struggling people out there.

Thanks, Larry

Hi Alex!

Shane Purcell here AKA The Bumbling Idiot Marketer
loved you rvideo and your drive to help others! I want in man…I have been struggling for over 7 months to make money online…getting screwed by so called gurus who destroy lives and kill dreams by systematically draining your pocketbook while never giving you the puzzle pieces.

A few weeks ago I decided to gight back and learn the secret to online success…3 weeks later and 6,000 subscribers on my list I believe I am on my way! can’t wait to learn from oyu dude!

Sandy 02.13.10

I am another one who has spent a fortune on coaching from the gurus that did not get me anywhere. I am always optimistic that I will finally crack it. Your name seems to be cropping up everywhere at the moment so I can’t wait for the training. Hope it’s not when I am away!
Tony Rogan 02.13.10

Hi Dude great to hear from you and yes I am sick of all the bulls… as well.

I decided some time ago to opt out of a lot of mailing list but it just seems continual as my inbox is full everday.

I dont trust anyone out there including some of the big time gurus they just make me ill with all there lies and promises.

Free websites ,turnkey packages etc I pity anyone that is starting out and getting sucked into all this hype , so if you are reading this STOP and KEEP your MONEY as there is NO BIG RED BUTTON to riches.

So look forward to your new adventure and reading the report.

Regards Tony

Great stuff as always, look forward to reading the new book. You truly are at the forefront of the new “Honest Guru’s” and its interesting to see some of the others disappearing away.
Im revisiting the coaching lessons from MWA2.0 at the moment and getting back to basics, thanks for all your help thus far….

George 02.13.10

Hello Alex,

Man, what can I say. You continue to outdo yourself. You are the “guru to the gurus.”
What you’re doing here is going to place you miles ahead of other marketers out there. You will now expose yourself to a greater amount of people out there. When they hear the content you have to offer, they’ll be blown away. Your first module in your coaching program, “Forward To Basics,” was nothing short of brilliant. If that doesn’t inspire someone, then they haven’t got a pulse.
I would be honored to learn from you how to be a success online & in life in general.
You are truly an inspiration & a true professional at your craft.

Best Regards,

George
Clare 02.13.10

Sounds interesting…the only (very small!) successes I’ve ever had online have come from doing the opposite of whatever is the trend at the time, so gurus don’t do it for me anyway.

But it seems to me that because different people have diffrent skills, interests, experiences etc, what works for one person may not work in the same way for the next. (Eg the numerate people I knowlike Adwords or SEO, whilst the word-based people prefer writing articles and blogs).

So it’ll be really interesting to see whether your info is generic or personalised.

Anyway, sounds great so far, and thanks for putting this up.

BTW, I haven’t read your earlier reports-are they available somewhere?
James Elliott 02.13.10

Hi Alex,

Iget emails from some of the ones that commented above. I haven’t spent a lot on the offers for products because when you are on Social Security there is nothing left each month to buy.

I have the List Building With Alex and Newbies Nightmare. Ithink you said the Gurus Dream came out in 08. That was before I new about you.

The Gurus Nightmare sounds great and the free coaching is what I can afford. I have been trying to figure this mess out for over a year. M majoproblem is focus. I have overload myself by subscribing to too many list and if I dont gothrow them every day it takes longer to get them all taken care of.

Because I havent cleared this address in over a week I had a lot to look at. I dont read them all any more. When I came here to watch the video I has it down to 760. it is now back up to 771

This new adswap thing they have going now has gotten a lot of them deleted. Most of then I get emails from both of them anyway.

I am very interested in the coaching. I got an email the other day offering me coaching for two weeks for $1997. That is $897 more than I get for the whole month. Will probably get an email telling me they are disapointed because I didn’t order the training.

There are two or three others I get emails from that has talked about free training like you.
I am happy about this because so many of us do not know where to start and do not have the funds to pay the high prices and as on here some have said they paid the price and are no better off.

Think I remember that a couple said they took your training and it worked.

Thank you for offering to help us and will be waiting for your next email. Have been thinking about creating another address and transfering you and the few others that like you are willing to really help us. There were some in the comments that didn’t seem to really beleive you. I am not one of them.

Have a great weekend,

James

Lee Scott 02.13.10

Hey Alex,

I can’t wait for the new report. You are exactly right what you say, yes there is alot of hype and bullshit in the world of Internet Marketing. As you can imagine a complete newbie desperate to make it online seeing a headline something like, “make so many thousands of dollars in so many days” they are going to snap it up only to get nowhere. This was the case with me until I joined your coaching course and am starting to get things going.

Bring on the new report.
Thanks Alex.

Lee Scott.
Howard Yackee 02.13.10

I am trying to become completely familiar with One system, any system that can make money online. Of course it must be fun too. I have been in a spin for 8 months now, since I have decided internet marketing was going to be my life. Unfortunately I have been in sales all my life and that glad=handing business is all but gone, I MUST learn to sell on the internet. Please help. I have taken and returned a few courses as they are over my head or leave major pieces out. I will do what ever it takes to be successful!

Thanks for any and all help

RAZ Schultz 02.13.10

Hi Alex, Looking forward to the new report and free live coaching.
I am one of your students, paid you $997 for your coaching course, and it is the only one I don’t regret paying for, because you gave me hope when I was down and discouraged. I did get started, somewhat–I did what you said, put up a blog, wrote an ebook, and other things which I hadn’t been able to do until then, but I’m not quite sure what I missed.
I’m an older widow and working 2 and sometimes 3 jobs to make ends meet–haven’t made a dime online yet, and still in a LOT of debt.
Most guru’s want $5,000 to 10,000 for coaching, for which I’m sure there is no guarantee of making money, so that’s out of the question.
I’m been feeling a bit desperate lately, and here you are–to the rescue again! I hope your live coaching will give me the missing link that I need to put together the life-changing business I’m praying for. I just need enough right now to quit at least ONE job, and put that time in to building a business, and go from there.
As many have said before me, no-one gives us the whole picture, unless we have many thousands of dollars for them. Yet they say there’s enough for all, and they’re not afraid of competition. Then why not give us ALL the information we need to get started and actually make MONEY?
I’m certainly not afraid to work, and I’ll do everything, once again, that you tell us to, if you’ll add me to your coaching. Looking forward to it.
Thank you and God bless you!

Andy Beveridge 02.13.10

Hi Alex
I am from your first coaching course and it was the best money that I have ever spent. I won’t pretend that I am highly successful but I am building momentum. If it had not been for you I would still be buying every ebook and course that came my way.
I now have a platform with which to build from.
Always look forward to your emails, gotta love your style.

John Donaldson 02.13.10

Hi Alex
As a newbie, it is good to hear from a straight talking honest person, my inbox is full of BS from so called guru’s wanting to sell their latest get me rich quick scam.

Like you have said before, it is not about getting rich quick, it’s about getting rich forever !!

I’ve only been at this for a few months now and I’ve not made a cent yet, the money seems to be going the wrong way, must be something wrong with the money magnet i bought.

Looking forward to your new report.

Abiodun Richard 02.13.10

Thanks for your reports in times past.However most of your products have been beyond my reach as i could not Afford them.How i desire to be one of your beta testers in future.Please give me a chance.
By the way,my experience with some gurus have been pleasant while with others it’s not so.The major issue for me is information overload-too much stuffs at a time and these are simple enough(talking about the style of writing).
I remember also buying a software from a guru(well known) that requires a code to activate by mailing him.
he never replied one day and there was no help Clickbank could render beyond giving me his website address to visit.
I couldn’t use the software till date(that was in 2004/2005.
Laura 02.13.10

Hi Alex, I also like so many others are sick and tired of all the hype and B.S. It would be such a pleasure to listen to a great marketer such as yourself and know that you have our best interest at heart! Can’t wait to get started!
Dianne 02.13.10

Thanks for sending me an email. It was fabulous hearing from you again and your honesty ….. so often the info I have received seems to be missing a “link” but no more.
I am excited to receive the Gurus’ Nightmare and your coaching.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks!!!
David 02.13.10

Hey Alex,

I’m gob smacked at what you are prepared to do to help newbies suceed online, you sound a true rare gem of a guy. If you could coach me for free that would be truly awesome, as to be 100% honest with you I’m unemployed and broke right now, have loads of debt and feel stuck in a hole I just cant get out of.

Look forward to reading your final book once u have written it and look forward to hearing from you in due course if you can help me out.

Many Thanks,

David.

I have been trying to make money since few years online but no success.

I just cannot get traffic to my site to save my life.

I am looking forward to receive the Gurus’ Nightmare and your coaching.

Kind regards
Jean 02.13.10

Hey Alex,

Lately several “gurus” have been getting out of Internet Marketing.

If it wasn’t for the fact most of them are reputable and highly respected, I’d say they’d got wind of your new report.

Power to the “newbies”, eh?

Take care

Jean
Bren 02.13.10

Alex,

If this is truly no B.S., then I want to talk to you. So, here it goes:

At the end of the day my secondary newbie nightmare is that since I am poor, and I know, that if you think you’re poor you’ll remain poor…yet, my reality is that I don’t even have enough money, in the month, to buy groceries not to mention paying for these programs that tell me that they have the ‘”Only” Step by Step’ program on how to be successful on line.

However, even if I did have the money, my primary stumbling block is that it seems to be assumed by the so called ‘Gurus’ that the rest of us have a) marketing skills and knowledge, b) know how to write articles using the correctly positioned keywords, c)understand the multiple variations in advertising schemes, d) grasp the concept of not only having a website but the need to create splash pages ect and how to go about doing that, e) getting down to what exactly is the ultimate “Code” that the gurus use…f) and by the way, how do I know that so and so is really a guru…what qualifies them to be called such, g) and my favourite are their use of the words [ Instant success, In minutes you can make money ], h) Just do This…but they never tell you not only ‘What’ THIS is nor do they tell you where to find it nor how to do it.

Further, Alex, even though I understand the need and value of pointing out the so called ‘Benefits” of a program, why is it not necessary to at least mention what ones needs to know before beginning that program…its liken to telling someone who desires to become a physician that being a surgeon has the best benefits of any of the divisions of medicine but forgetting to inform the potential new doctor that s/he will have to see blood and gore in order to reap those benefits….don’t you think that that info may be slightly significant in the potential new doctors decision making arena? I mean, maybe s/he faints at the sight of blood!!!!!! How on earth would that benefit the patient lying on the operating table????

Alex, at the end of the day, after four or five years of buying (when I can afford to) program after program, I’m finally learning, at least, the lingo.

It is not necessary for you to know why I live on a disability, at this time, but I just want to let you know that my greatest goal, for the time being, is to move off disability and become an independent successful woman. I thought I was going to be able to do this through the Internet, but because of my disability income I am prohibited from paying for coaching from people like you.

Alex, does this mean that there is NO future for me to get off disability and become that successful woman via the Internet?

What a tragedy?

Hi Alex

I’m another one of your lucky students.

Go on spill the beans! I believe in spreading the wealth and helping others. Let’s increase that 1% success rate.

I hope you reach your target amount of comments.

Thanks for your sharing so far.

Gerry Gordon 02.13.10

Hi Alex,

Count me in please.

Information overload is a real problem for me.
Just when you think you’re getting somewhere another big launch/JV comes out and you get the feeling that you’ll be left behind if you don’t get on board.
Often tempted to unsubscribe from ALL the lists and start again from scratch following just one system/outlook/philosophy. Problem is the free stuff that is given away is genuinely useful yet time-consuming and distracting and always comes with an upsell for the missing (secret) pieces of the jigsaw. Free stuff for the sake of education without ANY upsell..how refreshing would that be?
I think most folk just want to get off on the right track and build up at their own pace without all the noise and distraction.
Good luck with this report Alex
Cheers
Gerry
Randle 02.13.10

Hi Alex,

I was in your first class. I would be interested in your new report.
My pet peeve with the Gurus is soon after I have purchased the worlds best newly revealed never before made public system from them I start getting email from the same Guru passing on to me a new secret their friend has been using to make $27,154.21 in the last 15 1/2 days. Give me a break!
I sometimes get 2 emails a day from the same person I just spent $497.00 with. Talk about a hugh up sale.
I feel better now.
I am still struggling to consistently to go over $1000.00 per month.

hi Alex, greeting.

It’s nice to see that there are still some good people left in this internet marketing world… :)

Waiting for the good info :)
Mario 02.13.10

Hey Alex,
Just finished watching your video. You know I too spent thousands of dollars with all the BS hype marketers been throwing around just to find out that none of it works or there is holes in their systems. I’ve been unsubscribing to all emails that are trying to get me to purchase these hype programs. It would be a pleasure to work with someone who knows about generating a stable income as a professional business on the internet. I’m looking for that teacher/mentor to guide me through this. Dedicated as your student, LETS DO THIS!!

Thanks,
Mario
Tad Wlod 02.13.10

Hit a brick wall no website no product no knowledge no hope could you supply the missing link hope so looking forward to whats next
Zahida 02.13.10

I’ve bought many online marketing programs and have found some good, not so good info … looking forward to read your Guru report.
Mirko 02.13.10

Hey Alex.

Yet another vibrant video of you and I surely want to be on board when you unleash the training.

I have just recently started to follow you and study your free products and reports, which are really awesome and full of great content.

I love your way of straight talking and it certainly hits the nail for many of us wannabe marketers and newbees out there when you slap the gurus for their constant hype and never ending ceremony of launch after launch. Duh! I´m sick of that too – and find it so hard to turn that noise of…

Now, I really do mean all the words of praise I write about you and your teachings here, but I am nevertheless not blind and have to consider that there is hype in your marketing as well (which is no wonder, as you have learned from Mike Filsaime, who is a true master of hype and every little technique to turn a prospect into a buyer)-you agree?

I´m not even sure whether it is possible to skip all hype when selling stuff on the internet. It seems that a lot of the techniques in use are just a reflection of how we humans work when making decisions – Cialdini is the keyword here.

You know, I am looking for a mentor to guide me along my way to be a full success on marketing information on the internet. I want this mentor to be a person who not only knows what he is talking about (walk the talk) but who also is trustworthy, a caring person, honest and a true Go Giver – someone like Rich Schefren e.g or one of his advanced students -nudge, nudge…

I want a mentor to teach and guide me how to help as many other people as possible providing and selling top notch information.

After reading your ebooks (Newbees Nightmare and Guru´s Dream)I know I have to cut and unsubscribe from most of these mailing lists and I have started to be a lot more selective.

But I am still confused, are you the real deal, Alex? I would love to “test” that out as soon as possible.

So bring it on, I´ll bring myself

Looking forward to hear from you soon

Sounds like some earth shattering stuff coming.

I know you are the real deal and look forward to using this “Guru Crushing” info you are going to release.

All the best

Mike Walker 02.13.10

Hi Alex,
Interesting to read the various comments.I have tried a few things but not been successful online.I feel that each course I do is part of the learning curve. Maybe I will click eventualey. I saw Dean Holland was a successful student of yours.I remember doing the course and feeling at the time Dean had that little extra knowledge and talent, and hence he blossomed quickly and was sucessful.Looking forward to the Guru`s Nightmare ;)
Ciao for now :)
Bill 02.13.10

Alex,
From past experience free stuff gives you plenty of what to do but lacking in the how to do it.
Lets hope you start a new trend.

E 02.14.10

ok A.J. my wife thinks i am crazy!!! with this IM stuff. I hope you can help me and do what you say you can. I have spent 2yrs trying to crack the code. I did not have the money to pay these gurus over the years. I had a business that I had to let go because of this IM stuff (PERmywife)Spent alot of money trying to crack the code on my own. Bad idea should of found a mentor!!!! Hopefully you will be the one. I have been self employed since 2004 as it will be hard to go back to a JOB just over broke!!! I have not given up, just need to pay the bills and put some grub on the table. I will be working the IM stuff on my off hours, every waking hour untill I crack my own code.
Need your help…..
Thank you,
E.
Paul Eveleigh 02.14.10

Hi Alex,

I have found that products advertised as suitable for newbies often contain information that is too advanced. This caused information overload.
Of course we all want to learn and make progress, learning something new is often a steep learning curve.
Over the past 6 months I have started to make some income and I look forward to Gurus Nightmare, to step up another level.

Thanks
Chris 02.14.10

The biggest problem for me is perspective…..the more I know, the more I know I don’t know.
Michael 02.14.10

Hi Alex,

Great video. Nice not to be sold to for once. Information overload is an ever-increasing nightmare. What to focus on is a real problem.

Looking forward to getting some much needed help from you. I’m aware what you have done for others in the past year or so.

Cheers,
Michael
Eric Ellis 02.14.10

I like your no nonsense real talk. I am excited about getting your training!
Blaine Bauman 02.14.10

Alex,

Thanks for creating another wonderful report. I look forward to receiving it and reading it. I am also one of those “information junkies” with lots of PLR, RR, and MRR materials which need to be marketed.

Thanks for all the help you will be providing.

Looking forward to hearing from you again.

Blaine
Donahue 02.14.10

How can you say you’re not giving hype, when you ramble on like this? Now don’t take that the wrong way, I have unsubscribed from almost every asshole guru, but I like you and and I like your style. (let me be honest about why I have been unsubscribing: cause I get sucked into the hype and then feel like a sap afterwards). But your “brand” of honesty is refreshing. I like the way you write, and your stuff had usable stuff in it.
(so thank you for that)
You want to know what I am up to? I have been trying for a year to launch a membership program. I’ve spent all I can afford to spend to get butterfly marketing, video this, list building that, and I have nothing left. Now I need to bring in some dough. CPA, affiliate sales, something…but I need a friend and a partner. I will even give 50% of the biz if someone will take me the last mile. Live coaching sounds good, but what if I am at work when you do it, will I be able to listen to replays? will I be able to ask questions and get real feedback? will I get the websites and links that I need to build a list in my niche. Will I get personalized advice?
Lets hope, cause there are about 3 or 4 “gurus” right now, pitching their FREE stuff and promising to peal back the veil. So far, until I see more, I have to count you in as one of “them”. Please prove me wrong.
John 02.14.10

I finally got over the information overload because I stopped buying anything and instead decided to go back and give a great effort at following the programs (one at a time) I did buy an honest chance over the last year.

Well, zilch. A few pennies here and there but nothing substantial. I’m not looking to be a millionaire, just making a decent living with online ventures.

I look forward to your report to see if maybe this one will do something other than hype more useless information.

Cheers.
Kurt Husted 02.14.10

Hello Alex.

Just watched your video and you asked for “my story”, so here it goes:

I am 72 years old, a citizen of Denmark but living in the Philippines on my 28th year. I mostly always read your mails and, as a matter of fact, wanted to join your last coaching program, however, for lack of funds, I couldn’t. And, maybe you think I am too old to take on anyway and, perhaps you are right. I have been trying for a couple of years to make money ob the internet, but as I don’t have a credit card and limited resources, I have failed. I realize of course that without funds nothing is easy. Should your coaching program entail spending, I would have to back out even if you would consider coaching an “not so young but alert of mind” man. Thank for “listening” and I would still love to read your report, with which I wish you good luck.
Kurt
Shireen T 02.14.10

Hello Alex

I need to escape this poverty trap I’ve gotten myself into and Internet Marketing is for sure the best way to do it. I have bought stuff which I couldn’t make work. I’ve tried stuff that lead me up blind alley’s. I really have tried and will continue to do so because its the only way.
But it is frustrating readiing about all the success out there without managing to get a bite at it myself. I also know from your ex students reviews that you really do have a passion to help people like me. So yes please and as soon as possible my friend because were counting on you.

best regards
Shireen
Anthony 02.14.10

Hi Alex

Anthony here from 2.1. And I’ve been looking forward to this latest report since you told us about it. You just keep right on reaching for that rarefied air – no stench of horse up there.
Wherever you want to go with this, there’s plenty of us will stand alongside you, and I’m one of ‘em.

Kind regards
Anthony
Thorbjorn Ljunglof 02.14.10

Hi Alex,thanks for the video.
I have wasted a lot of money buying what the guru’s promote and was getting no where.I am sick and tired from all of their promises of making money.I never make any money.They made me broke.
I hope I can trust you Alex.If you can show me how to make one dollar I be glad.The only thing I got
was a lot of debts.

Lorita 02.14.10

Hi Alex,

I’ve been a silent reader of your blog and found some success implementing what you’ve given away for free so far. Though where I am right now is quite far from where I’d like to be, I’d like to thank you for those insightful and inspirational infos you put out in your materials.

Perhaps Gurus Nightmare is the answer to my next short term goal.

Cheers.
Jacalyn Price 02.14.10

Hi- Alex
Jacalyn here. Its good to hear from You Again.
I have been very busy since the Las Vegas Workshop.
Trying to Implement the Ideas from all the Information we received.
You certainly made a great effort to help those that attended.
I also have brought a lot of products from others and do not understand how to use it.
I am now focusing on one site and now will be able to finally make my first dollar.
Looking forward to the report.
Jacalyn.
Jim Rees 02.14.10

Been there, done it, got the tee shirt but no money following these gurus.

Looking forward to something completely different so bring it on Alex.

Theodore 02.14.10

I believe my biggest problem is getting focus and creating a step by step plan or blueprint. as a side note thank you Alex for all the info
John 02.14.10

Hi Alex, as always I read with interst your publications,and I cannot help but notice the amount of despondent people who leave comments about your posts. There stories are so familiar, been there done that, bought every money making program there is to buy, but the great money trains wait for no one and there speed is relentless. Notice I say trains and not train because there are many to choose from,some good some bad.
You are either on them or your not,and for most they are not.
The point I endever to make here is, do your homework and see who’s promoting which product and
what backup and promotional material they offer if any, then stick with it.

Best Regards
John.
Doug Stewart 02.14.10

Hey Alex

Being one of your original 500 students, I have to say how much your original course helped me take my business forward.

I would have probably still been floundering around buying every new thing that came along.

Like a lot of other people here, I’d been burnt and lost money with the B.S hype out there.

It’s always a pleasure to read your reports and watch your videos as there are some real nuggets of information.

At the end of the day it is down to the individual person though to take that information and go forward with it.

Looking forward to the up and coming coaching mate and thanks very much for doing this.

Best wishes

Doug
Urpo Salonen 02.14.10

Marit 02.14.10

Hi Alex,
I am one of your first 500 students. Thanks to you, I have come a bit along the road (have a look at my blog I just updated it with a summary of my last year), but long stretches still lay ahead of me and I will appreciate all the help you can give. Thank you Alex.
Richard Moloney 02.14.10

Hi Alex

As one of your students who has not made his fortune yet, I can’t with to see what you are now going to reveal to us.

I have been wondering why some of the well known Gurus are not quitting the IM niche, what do they know that we don’t? And more important what are they not telling us?

If you know and reveal that information in your latest report or during the free training it will be very useful to us all.

I am waiting with baited breath to hear from you.

Richard Moloney
Sinisa 02.14.10

Hi Alex:

I am also from your first coaching course. I was fairly distracted at the time as my mother was dying. The few sessions I attended were outstanding. Your material is very solid and I really look forward to your communications. You have my utmost confidence and respect. I know you always steer us in the right direction. I just need to sit down, take consistent action following your advice, and just buildup the momentum.

It seems the common theme is information overload and bombardment by gurus. I an information junkie and just keep on buying stuff so that I have gigabytes and shelves of binders of guru products. What is it with all these gurus announcing retirement. If they’re not, I get dozens of calls a day from their trainers trying to sell me very expensive training programs. Maybe some of these are worth it, but somehow I fear its just additional ways to separate us from thousands that can be better spent. I ask these trainers a question; If your guru’s material is so damn good, why aren’t you spending all your time building your own business rather than working for the guru on a salary/commission basis.

Thanks and Best Wishes

Sinisa
Phil Ainsworth 02.14.10

Hey Alex,

You really are The Godfather of IM: – You made us all an “offer we can’t refuse” ;-)

(love the “horses head” subtitle too)

It’s funny, actually, The Godfather trilogy is one of the few times in cinema history where the sequels have been as good as (and possibly better) than the first film.

Same with Guru’s Dream and Newbie’s Nightmare – they were EXCELLENT – so I know that the Guru’s Nightmare will be awesome stuff too.

Personally, I haven’t been burnt too badly online; I’ve bought some of your products which I was very happy with and paid a very reasonable price for Dean Holland’s superb coaching.

Yes, I’ve had sales calls from pushy call-centres and I’ve bought a few dodgy e-books (Rich Jerk, anyone?) but I’ve been pretty lucky on the whole.

Even so, I’m happy to be a part of the growing movement in the IM world of openness, transparency, delivering value and NOT SCAMMING!

Alex, you’ve always been at the forefront of that movement, and that’s why you deserve the success that you have achieved.

Can’t wait to participate in your coaching – it’s going to ROCK :-)

Peace and banoffee pie,

Phil Ainsworth
Paul 02.14.10

Hi Alex,

That was an excellent video. I always enjoy your work. I love your “no b.s.” style and really admire the passion you have for helping others succeed. I’ve probably learned more from you for free than some of the bottom feeder guru’s I’ve spent good money on. I hope to meet you and take one of your training courses some day soon.

I’ve experienced a ‘bleep’ load of setbacks, some of which I hope no one else has to endure. One example was a guru essentially told me I wasn’t going to make it in this business. All that does to someone like me is add even MORE fuel to the fire in the belly. Now I won’t give up until I take my last frickin breath for sure.

My biggest issue right now is time. My lazy lemming mindset day job and commute eats up a ‘another bleep’ load of my precious time and energy. It’s tough to focus and produce with IM on limited sleep and time. Plus the stress from it all doesn’t help much either. Yes don’t get me wrong I’m grateful for the job I have in this economy but why be miserable when you don’t have to.

It’s encouraging to read that some folks here are making something as opposed to my big nothing.

Thank you Alex for your time and great work.
Paul
StephenD7 02.14.10

Hi Alex,
I am looking for a GPS navigating system for the route to Internet Marketing Success.
It looks like you have one available in my price range. :-)
I need one that shows me how to get back on track after pulling off for a break.(Short term memory is shot)
Still trying to find a route with exits, as I need frequent breaks… and forget where…

Bruce 02.14.10

Really looking forward to getting guidance from you.
Jeff in Oregon 02.14.10

Hi Alex, I believe we’ve chatted before a few months back. You helped me out. Things have changed quite a bit since then and I’m now starting to FINALLY get a little traction for the first time in well over 2 years of trying to learn IM. I know have a business partner, we have a blog,(I linked to it)16 new, very highly targeted landing pages,a completely new, rewritten sales pages a small PPC campaign started, a list that has grown by almost 700 subscribers in the past few weeks, and we are starting to figure out how to see at least some sales of $30 ebook on the topic of Excel spreadsheets and “advanced user” centered info.

The problem is…..we are both full time at this, 12-15hrs a day, 5-6 days a week….THIS IS WHAT THE GURUS DON’T TALK ABOUT!!!

When you hear those occasional mentions of “having to roll up you sleeves and ACTUALLY do a little work”….Let me tell ya what home boyz…THEY ARE LEAVING A LOT OUT OF THE PICTURE.

If you are very new to all this and are not already either tech saavy or in the position to pay for saavy….the learning curve is freak’n ginormous. There has been very very times I’ve seen much good solid true step by step training on how to go create landing pages the look great and have things exactly how you want them, including grafics. Or the info on WHEN to use which “styles and approaches” in which markets. When, where and for which markets do banner ads work best, what about “banner ads vs. image ads”, when and HOW to do best on the content network side of PPC, etc.

THEY NEVER say much about how challenging it is and how much longer it WILL take you, when you really are starting out pretty broke, or you wind up broke from buying crap that does not work, and does not tell you the whole truth about just how much time, effort, focus, and personal energy can be involved.

My new business partner (who lives in Ecuador- I’m in Oregon) and I are coming from this starting point of having almost $0 money to our names, bills we can’t pay etc. etc. We know that we have nowhere to go but up, and by refusing to give up no matter what, we are finally beginning to get SOME traction. But I will tell you, it has been a huge challenge and taken many many many hours of hard work.
Glyn 02.14.10

When Alex speaks, I listen!

I want the report. I am fed up with the Gurus making all the money and clogging up the internet. I need the money to feed my family not just to buy a big house or a big car, though I wouldn’t mind those too.

Glyn
john 02.14.10

alex, you have never let me down. so i’m all in! let’s go find that poor horse and pick the guru’s lock. gimme the report…. and yes!!! i’m no longer a believer in guru doctrine/rubbish. I’m trying to keep my lights and on, i’m taking care of my elderly mom.

chow for now
Jay 02.14.10

Thanks, Alex, please send me your new free report. I look forward to getting your free coaching. Currently doing website reviews with a core group for others in our coaching program, and want to put your “plans into practice” ASAP.

My motto: “Solutions for your Problems”.

Have spent a lot of money on many guru’s programs, most too complicated to follow, little result. Or, “I will give your a free website”, only to learn I then have to buy domain names, hosting, advertising, and then get a clone site that thousands of others are promoting.

On your video:
good-establish pain, common problem, pics of eBooks?, offer solution free if I take a simple action
annoying-too long to load, no pause button, mostly about you, not listing the benefits for prospect, vague and way too long.

In information overload, tons of programs on my computer, most either too generic or complicated for me to use effectively. All with big promises.

Same situation as Sinisa above. Need a no cost, low cost system that is simple and easy to use to put cash in my pocket. Need a step by step process, with PDF guides and videos.

Thanks, Jay
P.S. Have also given same response to calls offering “personal coaching programs” on the same product I bought. “If it’s so great, why should I have to pay thousands to tell me how to do it? Coach me, and I will agree to split earnings 50/50 as we go along.” “Oh, we don’t do that.” !!
Rodney Warnock 02.14.10

Hi Alex,
I too am fed up with the hype from Gurus. I was recently taken for thousands of dollars by the so called Coaching Dream team of one of the top Gurus. Indeed I have been on the verge of giving up.But I am determined to find the way to succeed online. If you have the answer I would love to hear it.
Regards,
Rodney
Steve 02.14.10

Hi Alex, i have missed your past 2 coaching programs, this sounds awesome, i thought i would tell you about myself, i am a middle manager for a well known retail company and i am one of the best performers in my region, however 60 hour weeks and being stuck on the motorway is not my idea of a life! i have spent thousands joining places such as polaris media group and Mynetbiz with the promise of full online mentoring, what a load of crap, as soon as they take your money you can never get hold of anyone or it takes you ages to get replies to emails, i am useless at anything to do with computers and even tuturials with user friendly how to videos seem difficult! Please say you can help.

Steve
Dave Whittle 02.14.10

Hi Alex,

Great, punchy video as usual.

Have to say I am ready to follow you on your “u-turn” and see where this leads to.
I hope you upset some “gurus” – it is time somebody did!

Dave
Powerpaul 02.14.10

Yo Alex,

I’ve read lots of comments here.
It appears that many people do feel “taken” and upset about the Guru’s.
They have to blame someone for not succeeding.
Now of course EVERY sales page tells us “It’s not your fault”.
…Gee, let’s get on the prospects good side, (to drop their barriers) let THEM off the hook, show some empathy because they’re stuck AND – we’ll offer the solution.
What a great formula.
Huh?
If I’m not succeeding online it’s cause I haven’t figured out what’s not working & made the change(s). This IS a business we’re building (as Filsaime always says), NOT a get rich overnight pyramid. I’m not going to blame guys who ARE successful at it. Even IF I believed they were on my side.
Before the internet, did you fall for ALL the “make money from home” junk mail you got?
This is just a “different & instant” delivery system, that’s all. There are lots of marketers who are rip off artists and lots who are wonderful & honest and sincerely want to help you have a better life.
Let’s take some personal responsibility!
I don’t blame Guru’s for all marketing each others products. There are lots of good products out there. You’re gonna hear from lots of people about the same things.
It’s our job to not fall into that “shiny new object” category – have LACK of FOCUS, thinking OH, this way looks BETTER, makes more money and sounds EVEN easier! Hmmm, load up the hard drive w/more!
It’s a job sorting through the 80 (or more) emails I get daily offering me the chance to break free and “Earn $30k or more” IN MY 1st MONTH – BUT if it sounds too good to be true…

It’s time to go through the lists we’re on and find the people who “give value” and who don’t.
If we’re NOT getting value from someone – GET OFF THE LIST! (I’m going through my 180+ now)
I’m speaking from overwhelm and frustration myself as I’ve been doing affiliate marketing for a while and still have yet to make real money, but don’t blame others, I take responsibility for it.

I also think there are different factors stopping us BUT we aren’t ALL missing the same ingredient. It could be the money (to buy THAT right missing piece), the fear, procrastination, not knowing what to promote or where to promote it, getting traffic once you’re up, a bad squeeze page or email series, and on and on…

Sure, I’d love to find works for me that will get me into momentum and great earnings, so I’m open to hearing what you have to share.

Hi, Alex.
I’m sorry to admit that I am one of your coaching students who hasn’t as yet been a success in online marketing. I was initially impressed with your honesty and willingness to help the little guy be successful, and it was for this reason that I paid the “upwards of $1000″ to join your coaching program.

I have to say that I did learn a lot, from how to plan my time to the importance of having an attitude of being of help to others. I put up the list building website you gave us, and I paid someone to put my blog together. The main thing I learned from you was the importance of building a relationship with your clients. You stressed that over and over, and it’s the way I want to do business.

What was missing for me, though, was the practical how to put tab A into slot B. I needed to be shown how to put all the pieces together, how to connect them. I need to know how to choose niches, find products to promote, build landing pages, get traffic to the landing pages, etc. I’ve been trying to get that kind of information from other experts in the marketplace in the hopes that I can connect the dots.

I will take responsibility my failure to be where I had hoped to be by now, but I can tell you I am not afraid of hard work, I welcome direction and am I not afraid of being successful. I still trust that you are an honest man, and that maybe what you will share in the Gurus Nightmare will be of help to move me toward my goal.

Victoria 02.15.10

Hi Alex

i’m not considered a newbie in the sense that i do know how to put up products for sale or to promote products. but then i certainly am still struggling to make a consistent income from internet marketing.

i am making so little it is barely enough to survive.

totally appreciate your passion in helping and i look forward to hearing more from you.

Cheers,
annabel 02.15.10

Hi Alex,
I am a VERY confused newbie who is still at the early learning stage trying to figure out how this internet marketing thing works. My head is jumbled up with various bits of information gathered all around but nothing makes sense.I don’t know where or how to start.
I will definitely be interested in your report and teaching.
Many thanks.
Alex 02.15.10

Alex …

I am so looking-forward to your The Guru’s Nightmare! It will be a Godsend !!!

I have really, really absolutely needed to make money online and two years later I’ve invested so much money and have absolutely no clue of what’s up and what’s down. I’m going around in circles and am extremely frustrated but I still must make money online. I have no other choice.

Thank-you so much being the man of tremendous character that you are !!!
Bill 02.15.10

Gene 02.15.10

Ben 02.15.10

Very Interesting,

I agree the guru’s dream and online community are becoming saturated with oversights and outrageous claims. It’s hard for the newbie to find information and systems that actually work.

I am very interested in your new report. Love what you have done so far.

Ben
JosephN 02.15.10

I’ve purchased many products from many “gurus”. Almost all of them tell me how easy it is to make money online. Foolish. The only thing that makes it easy is if you work hard…very hard.

The hard work though can become simple if you can break down all the hard work into a much simpler step by step system.

What the gurus don’t tell you is that systems change over time. This change means that the steps you need to take must change also. I guess that’s the nature of “improvement”.

Bravo my man, I can’t wait to read your report and take advantage of your coaching. I have spent a ton of money on different things from the so-called Gurus. You are a breath of fresh air and give me hope and optimism for my on-line success.
Love your direct approach!

Reuven 02.15.10

Alex,
I’ve read a bit about IM and have even put a few pieces into play but not enough because I’m never sure what to do next. There are so many directions one can go and so many mistakes one can make along the way so I am afraid to do much of anything. Even though I am already suffering from information overload and analysis paralysis, I still want to know what you have to say.
Rita 02.15.10

This is a very interesting video. I would appreciate your free report.
Thank you

david 02.15.10

Alex, I want to learn what you have to offer. It sounds great!
There is TOO much information. Gurus tend to make it seem complicated, when it just can’t be that hard.
George 02.15.10

Hello again Alex,

I’m leaving another comment to further give you more content for your report.
What do I think of the gurus, you ask? All the hype-filled garbarge out there makes me sick. They ruin it for everyone else who wants to make it in internet marketing.
With all the hype & info they throw at you at one time, it leaves you paralyzed with info overload. You’re not able to take the action that they speak about, nor are you able to be productive at all.
Please sort through all this stuff for us, so we can finally gain some clarity & focus.
Maybe then, we can finally “take action,” once we have a clear plan.

Best Regards,

George
Richard 02.15.10

I am overloaded with confusing info….to the point of considering giving up my interenet ambitions. Hopefully you can pull be back from the point of giving up. I would be most anxious to participate in your program. Thanks.
Brandon 02.15.10

A lot of money has been spent on the guru’s stuff. It’s been a lot of hype, and it rarely or never came through for me. So far, I’ve seen one program work, but it hasn’t made me a ton of money, only a few dollars/week. That’s not enough!

I’m ready for something that will really work in any niche.
Alfredo 02.15.10

Hi Alex,

I am really looking forward to your coaching and mentoring. I’m tired of making money for others and loosing money for me.

Regards,

Alfredo.
Tina 02.15.10

Alex,
I concur with someone’s comment above that all the info out there is TOO much – instead of helping it indeed does make me “spin my wheels.” I think a big part of it is my own fault…noone is forcing me to read all this junk put out by these guys. But when all you want it to see some success, some progress, it is too easy to get LURED in to the next big thing.
Your help in giving us a REAL path to follow would be priceless indeed.
Looking forward to more info. Thanks!!

Serge Krasnay 02.15.10

Hey Alex,

I can’t wait for this report. If it is anywhere near as good as the Guru’s Dream, then I think you are really pushing the boundaries of what can be given for $0.

Its truly impressive and inspiring to see this level of commitment in bringing forth valuable content without expecting anything in return. Internet marketers like you are far too few nowadays.

I hope to model my business with the same level of promise and focus.

In regards to my struggles, I found that building an internet marketing business is 80% Psychology, 15% Business Structuring/Money Management, and 5% Marketing Strategy. The problem lies in the fact that most internet marketers promote Strategy and neglect to focus on how to structure a business properly and how to maintain a business oriented mindset. Yet they still manage to make lots of money selling money making strategies and systems. This is because they understand that people are only going to buy what they WANT not what they NEED. So, obviously its much easier to hype up the stuff that people want rather than what they need. Lets face it, it produces more money.

However, I believe that you Alex and all of these wonderful people that commented on this blog post, fully understand that as internet marketers, we must be smarter.

Knowing what people want is only half the battle. The KEY lies in developing a method of teaching and supplying people with what they need AFTER delivering on the promise of giving what they want.

For example, people WANT to make money, the want to make it fast, they want a hands free system, they want the lazy way of making money, they want to work only 4 hours a week. Therefore they will search actively for those things. But they will never search actively for business structuring courses, business building fundamentals, how to think like a business owner, or business management methods/tools/resources. This is because it is something that they NEED and its usually very tedious and boring to read and study.

In conclusion, as internet marketers we must be smart and develop unique and clever ways of giving people what they need while disguising it as something that they want. This is the challenge that we will all face for years to come. It will not be easy. But I feel that you, Alex, are a great example of someone that is overcoming this challenge by giving people what they NEED for free and still managing to present it as something they we would want.

Can’t wait to read your new book!

Cheers,
Serge
gil 02.15.10

Hi Alex,
Thanks for your enthusiasm and passion for internet marketing. I am encouraged by your video presentation and hope that after one year of searching for success in the internet marketing game I have found the answer.
Thanks
Jane 02.15.10

I spent my first year online idolizing and following those darn gurus, and my second year oline weening myself off of them. Didn’t take me long to figure out that they really didn’t care at all about helping me, they only wanted to help themselves (to my money).

Yes…I want my free copy and your free coaching

Bring it on Alex!!
Andre D 02.15.10

Hi Alex,

For the last three year all these so called Gurus swindled thousands of dollars out of my pocket, just to go ahead and treat me like a mushroom — I am always kept in the dark and being fed B.S. !

Its Great to stumble across someone like you.!!

Peace and Love from Africa
Arthur Webster 02.15.10

Where to start?

I have been on the periphery of online internet marketing for many years because I simply never believed that what so many different gurus were telling me were the ‘can’t fail, never seen before’, secrets of making money on line were anything of the sort.

It got to the stage where I believed nobody. In the past year Kevin Riley has restored some of my faith and has given me some good pointers but my health and general inability to apply myself effectively have been major obstacles.

The massive relaunches of eBooks that I bought five years ago that happen on an almost weekly basis simply highlight the contempt in which the gurus hold us. Now they are even teaching us to re-write those re-written eBooks and sell them all over again as a brand new product!

Commerce has not changed over the last several thousand years but the bloody gurus keep trying to re-invent it.

All I and all the newbies like me want is a simple, no nonsense way to make a start. All this advanced crap that requires that we learn to be a world class marathon runner before we can actually walk to the start line is, I am sure, designed to put us off and convince us that we need to buy ‘one more item’.

The real problem is, when we struggle, when we are fairly sure we are being fed a line, the line is so pursuasive that we stop what we were doing and go off at a tangent! We have been programmed to fail to see the truth.

We have been programmed to fail (= keep buying the crap!)
Edell Butts 02.15.10

Lee 02.15.10

Thank you Alex.
It is a refreshing change to hear the truth.
I cannot wait to read your report.
I have been trying for a long time to make money on the internet and have paid thousands of dollars to so called online millionaires who have taken my money for a return of approximately $11!!
It would be incredibly rewarding to be able to learn and earn a considerable income. There is not enough space to give you my full story :)
Take care

Jorge 02.15.10

Hello Alex

I must confess that my first impression was “just another guru making money talking dirt about other gurus”. You know the like, they’re everywhere.
But I made some research and, quite honestly, I’m not sure about that first impression.
I’ve been burned before, but I’m also a positive guy, so if you can count with me for your coaching, I just can promise I’ll do my best.

Tchau for now

Jorge
Nigel 02.15.10

I remember a couple of years receiving an invite from you to a seminar – I think the first few that replied had a chance to be part of your party. I procrastinated at the time and wish now that I had not. It is good that you do not just send out the swipe emails that so many of us receive. You seem to have a genuine desire to help people because you have been there yourself. Anyway hope I do meet up someday and can give you my own success story.
Aussie Tom 02.15.10

Hey Alex,

We met at one of Marks Seminar’s I was talking on stage.

I was the Aussie guy with Mili,

I totally agree with what you are saying… I felt like I was banging my head my head against a brick wall for 2 years. Now I’m traveling and talking on stag. My next gig is in Chiang Mai. but it was only because I met real people like you making a difference.

Guys anyone who is reading this comment. Alex is a cool guy!

Regards,
Aussie Tom

P.S. Like the photos of Thailand, are you out here now? I’m out here with Greg Jacobs and Saj P is coming out as well if your here, email me!!!
Dan Tredo 02.15.10

Hey Alex,
I’m a 2.0 student, and met you at the Mirage in Las Vegas last month. What a great class! Because of the class, I ended up partnering with Glen Wayne. And I just published a review of the class on my blog (dantredo.com), complete with pictures – if you have time, check it out.
YES – definitely I want your new report! Thanks for all your help.

Darren Todd 02.15.10

Hi Alex ,

Gurus this and Gurus that I am sick of them and the bitterest pill to swallow for me is all the bollocks they feed you about how easy it will be and that you only have to work 10mins a day to make tons of cash!!

O.k so I didn’t swallow all of it, sure it is not going to be easy but for me it was definitely the biggest reason why I ran round in circles because every time it became a little tough I would quit and move to the next project.

I am in this to win and to help as many others with good honest advice as I possibly can because I know it can be achieved and use genuine people like yourself as true mentors KEEP IT UP !!

I always stand up and listen when you have something to say (which is usually a lot!!) but it is always a lot of good stuff!

Hope to see at Lee Mcintyre’s bash in Newcastle I will introduce myself.

Take care and God bless you and your family.

Hi Alex,

You seem to be a honest guy and this is the first time I seen your video. I can only speak for myself but information overload is a big problem solve this and a lot of people could make a living on line. Millionaire would be nice but to work from home with simple systems and live the life you want with you in control, then thats my dream.

GREAT VIDEO

Matt 02.15.10

Hi Alex,

I have spent thousands of dollars on gurus and it still has not got me where I need to go.

So it will be interesting to see how you differ from them. I have had these promises before so I hope that you prove me wrong and actually do what other in the past have not.

Thanks for your time

Carol Dankelman 02.15.10

Looking forward to reading your book. I have also narrowed my list of trusted “gurus” to just a few. And I’m definitely fed up with the hype. I’ve suffered from information overload, leading to lack of taking action. I’ve got SO much stuff on my hard drive–probably 75% is outdated or ineffective–but how to figure out which to keep is a nightmare all on its own!
ken G 02.15.10

Hey Alex

It was great to hear from you again as I am CURRENTLY one of your students in 2.0 and yes I need your help in some areas or somekind of mentor to assist me in getting up to date with things. As everyone does not offer this it is dishearting at times to know that there is so much to learn.

Alex I can only hope that you do as you say with these post as I must say one of the Gurus has burnt me, & it is fustrating being on this side of the fence sort of speaking.

I am not sure if it was yourself or Mike Filisame who introduced me to BRETT_ INGRAM program, But as I did order from him & recieved NOTHING but a empty bank account. Please Alex don’t align yourself with him as all of his links are down and no way to contact them as there phone is down also.

But the good thing is that they WILL charge you twice for the same product! Hey what a plus!

So Yes sure I do believe that we all have been screwed by the gurus at least one.

When they offer the world & provide you with a ant hill, for your hard earned money.

Yes it is great to hear that you have made $$$$
and know that there is a issue here that needs to be addressed, and I personaly believe you can offer all of us something of extreme value.

ALex I believe I have a good answer and maybe your answer and it can take one e mail from you to see if it is what could be.

Even though I am just one of the ordinary people out here.

It might be a great suggestion or not, but I will not leave it here on this page.

And It will test your statement about reading every post.

Mentoring is the ability to learn from others as well teach us, isn’t it??

You have my e mail address if you so wish to contact me.

Tima 02.15.10

Hey Alex, you are right that I am so tired of the bull shit also. I get flooded with so many ideas for or from these folks who send their stuff to me, so now I have a few select emails I accept and I am glad that yours is one of them that I allowed. Because when it is black and white, you say it. Thank you

John 02.15.10

I am not sure what this is about, but you sound sincere in your desire to help. I have allowed myself to be scammed out of $30,000,00 by John Raygoza from Incfortune, so I am not sure who to trust.
Will listen to what you have to offer, cause I have a burning desire to be an online success and help my friends and family to do the same.
Thanks for being willing to put yourself on the line

Thank you.
Jackie 02.15.10

Hi Alex,

i am actually one of your coaching students who are still not finding success online. i am still finding it difficult to join all the dots together to make all this work. i believe i will need to just continue doing it until it works.

i have read some of the comments above and am pretty much having the same thoughts as Mike above…

i do hope this will be able to move me in the right direction towards my IM goals. Thanks.

Glenda 02.15.10

Hey Alex this sounds great. I am one of your original 500, and then again in the second round too. I still have been floundering because through all of my learning I was in excruciating pain from my spine so I just couldn’t grasp it. I am slowly getting better and I have never given up. I do think I have been taken several times but since I bought it, I must take responsibility huh? Anyway I still want to succeed and make money, but I still don’t understand most things, because I never could follow up on anything, because of my pain. But now I am on the mend slowly but surely and I am excited about your new report, I really need help I have no money made, no list, a blogsite I need to change the name on, but have had no luck so far. So my mentor Alex please bring it on! I am very proud of you too!
Your student and friend Glenda Kuylman
PS: My new blogsite is glendakuylman@aimhigh.com even though it still has one blog written and the wrong name, that is it…..

Erlyne 02.16.10

Hello Alex

After being at your seminar in Vegas last month, I can only believe you will reach your goals this year AND take as many of your students with you as are willing to work as hard as you do. If someone is hesitant to get involved, it is only because of being burned or overloaded with too much information. Since you address both with integrity and patience, this offer is literally too good to be true. Incredibly it is true!

Go BIG!!
Mary 02.16.10

Hi Alex:

Well this sounds like manna from heaven. I have spent a number of years learning bits and pieces from just about everyone. Learning the technical details (HTML, writing good copy, etc.) is not the hard part at all. Finding the right mentor who will teach and not hold anything back is the tricky part. There are so many who promise the moon and the stars and deliver squat. It has been a disheartening experience as well as an expensive one for me. But I am so doggedly determined that I once again have hope that you will be all you claim to be and will deliver all that you promise.

Thanks for the opportunity, and I look forward to working with you to increase my knowledge and decrease the painful and expensive learning curve.
Laurie 02.16.10

Hi Alex,

Have also been taken in by the “gurus” with their lies, greed and BS.

Am also suffering from information overload.

Yes I would like an honest life changing programme that will teach me to be a successful internet marketer.

Let’s test the waters and please show me what you can do for the “little man” and enlighten me.

Cheers

RICHARD 02.16.10

Hi Alex, Like so many others i am in info overload with all the gurus contacting me. I have been watching you for awhile and you are the real deal and I’ve seen all the top gurus. I know you guys all know each other and I will not criticize your peers, but you seem to be one of the more “down to earth”. I am a heart surgery survivor and looking for my second chance in life
Lee S 02.16.10

( Website is down at the moment as I am moving to a new server) Alex, I am a retired commercial airline Pilot with a passion for teaching others what I have learned over my 58+ years. In areas such as stocks, option and commodities, entity structure, how to read a food label ( here in the US), real estate, and a seemingly endless number of other subjects we were never taught in any grade in schooling here in the USA.

My reward comes from someone, usually a stranger, telling me how much the information I provided has enriched or encouraged their life.

Seems, sadly, that not enough people have realized that giving is much more rewarding & satisfying than receiving. ( Mind you, I realize we have to pay the rent, so to speak)

I have in front of me to see every day these
simple rules for happiness:
1.Free your heart from hatred
2.Free your mind from worries
3.Live simply
4.Give more
5.Expect less

There’s a Huna ( Hawaiian) tradition that goes:
“Bless That Which You Want”

I hope to follow in your footsteps, Thank You.

I struggle with learning this internet marketing. The gobs of guru “stuff” comes at me in such voluminous gushes, its like the proverbial “drinking water from a fire hydrant”.

With you, it’s like I come up for a breath of fresh air. Thanks,

Renee Olson 02.16.10

Hey Alex,

Wow, I can’t believe how time has passed since that class in 2008. That was certainly some intense material and has served me well.

Now that I’ve had time to digest the material and make use of my fellow students. I have a site and a product to market that is worthy and suitable to my personality.

I’m ready to go to the next level… It’s not listbuilding? It’s not traffic? Is it conversions? I can’t wait to see what it is.

I’ve visited many sites since our class ended and I have to say, you still are one of the best there is. Especially when you get super serious. It’s your most productive side. I like it.

The last system I purchased I soon found out they were into some serious black hat tactics and I just do not know enough to swim with the sharks, and there is the consideration if I really want to!

Let me know, hopefully this is something I can learn,

Sincerely,
Mr.C

Hi Alex,
I am another coaching student of yours who
didn’t get any success yet but when I see
how you speak from the heart I feel more
convinced than just results. Most programs
out there show results so what do you do then.
I would love to be living a life of financial freedom as well as help others to achieve the same.
I am looking forward to reading your report!
Ray 02.16.10

Bring it on Alex.Like many I spent a small fortune on Gurus promises,but they mean little or nothing without a plan.
Since I joined the Alex Student Coaching,I have a plan and continued guidance.You are the real deal!
Robbie(above)he IS the “real answer”follow the instructions and your mind will open.The jigsaw comes together here.
I still wanna learn…..were’s the book?were’s the book?

Always a pleasure reading your stuff Alex.

We seem to have the same vision..

My take…

Let the newbie affiliate marketer find his/her first profitable campaign by providing them with a solid plan

Gangsta – horse’s head – guru’s bed. Too funny dude. You shoulda dressed up in your Gangsta outfit when we went to the Shooting Range in Vegas. We could have got you a Thompson machine gun. That would have made a STATEMENT!

Hello Alex!

I can certainly connect with your story and views. Looking forward to hear back from you!
Tony 02.16.10

Hi Alex,
Have also been taken in by the “gurus” with their lies, greed and BS.
Am also suffering from information overload TOOOO!!
One thing I find with most systems is how! They always leave something out… that leaves “YOU TOTALLY” high and dry!! You’ve done all the stuff they said to do and things just don’t link up!! So I for one will be most interested to read your new report!!
Tony 02.16.10

Looking forward to the report. Thanks for being real, Alex!

Jamie Henderson 02.16.10

Hey Alex,
This is kinda ironic but I am just uploading pages to my site through your coaching program during which I took a break and checked my email and found this.

I do not want to get distracted and not complete what I’m doing again to try something else. I am actually making progress for once, however, this information needs to be out there.

I have had this exact dream for “someday” when I figure everything out. So I think it is a noble and ethical goal and vision you have.
You are not the first marketer to come up with this idea, but you are the first one I think will do it!

I am going to drop a few names of people I have purchased “reports” or “courses” from over the last few years, I hope it’s OK.
Frank Kern, Ed Dale, Joshua Shaffrin, Kevin Wilke, Matt Gill, Jon Carlton, Euwen Chia, The Faster Webmaster, Jon Jonas, John Reese, Mark Joyner, Bob Proctor, Jack Zufelt, and even The Rich Jerk… There are so many more that I can’t even come close to remembering them all. (and I wonder how the Gurus make so much money :) )

Now I’m not saying all these people are bad and I’m not saying all their stuff is bad because it’s not. But they never really give you what you need to actually become their competition…I’m not sure I blame them…having said that, I would not be selling marketing stuff if I had that mindset!

I have bought so much info. that my wife and friends think deep down that there is something wrong with me. I call it perseverance. I persevere because I know what I want and I know I can have it. Success for me just has not been easy in the least.

So hell yah, I say you tell it like it is and make it clear so people like me can get past all the technical CRAP, and the marketing genius that very few people ever really get, and can see a clear path on how to move forward.
I look forward to it, and I have been impressed so far with your coaching ability.

Thank you so much
Jamie
Michael 02.16.10

Looking forward to some good information for a change. I have a whole hard drive full of reports from Gurus that all say the same thing.
Nighto 02.16.10

I didn’t get what you are trying to “give”.

If it is something that you are so passionate about helping newbie or IM to make some dough. Just do it.

Why drag the guru into the picture when many newbie don’t even want to touch these guru with a 10 foot pole since they don’t have the budget to start with.

Cheers
Bryce Woodard 02.16.10

Look forward to the learning process. It is easy to get confused online. So many ways to make money, that you end up chasing too many pots of gold and end up with no gold.

Hi Alex,
Have been reading your news letters for some time and always look for other peoples comments on the ‘gurus’, and you are well thought of amongst those who have been taught by you, as being the real deal. I was very disappointed in one of them that I had thought was also the real deal and had followed her news letters for a long time, and in the end it WAS just about money and how many people on the list etc, so consequently am a bit ditrusting and sceptical now as to who is really honest. Sounds like you could be (I know there are others, they are not all like that) – because you are doing this for free!! The principle of giving and you will get applies to everything, so there must be something in it for you. Well sign me up please, so that I can become unconfused and get past the tip of the internet marketing iceberg for a change.

Paul D 02.17.10

Hi Alex,

Wow, what a great video man!!! My story in short, I have been struggling to get online for a few years now with next to no success. I have been burned so many times with so called “Life Changing Offers” from Guru’s, I have parted with my money time and time again and got no where. I must of spent thousands and seen very little return.

I must admit that before I watched this video, I was at the point of giving up on it all. You have inspired me to carry on Alex and any help you can give me to carry on will be greatly taken on board.

Once I start to become a success, my aim is to help others who are trying to set up their own online business and also help others that are not as fortunate as me.

All that remains for me to say is “Bring It On Alex And Many Thanks”.

Peace to you and your family.

Jason Ser 02.17.10

Most so called “Gurus” out there, if they are not Fake, have one thing in common…they are all very good in selling. Yet not many will deliver what they “seems to promise”. Or is it?

The sad truth is, most of the “gurus” do have legitimate business. Just that they like to hype up their sales messages because some how hype seem to works better. However, the “gurus” maybe taking the advantage of the internet to sell their over promised ,under delivered products. But now as the end-user, we too, can use the power to avoid loosing our money simply by having the patience to “hold on” a little more and check out reviews from other users or “victims” if any.

Like anyone else, I was sucked into their “hypes” because I am desperate. But after years of trying , There is One Most Valuable Lesson I learned….

“Never ever make any Important Decision when you are tired, hungry, in deperations or being pushed or urged from the outside, no matter how tempting the offer may be. ”

When I made my decision to be Alex Coaching Student, I did not feel the usual urge or deperation in me, there was no usual “forced sense of excitement” if you know what I mean. But rather, it is made with a sense of peace and serenity, is as natural as breathing.

I am so glad that I am one of your 2.1 coaching student. I had done and progress more in the pass 3 months than what I did in the pass 2 years.
I very much look forward for your “Gurus Nightmares” because it will be definitely another important information to change all that.
Nanette 02.17.10

Bilge 02.17.10

Hi Alex,

If what all that gurus told me about how I could make a 6 figure income were true ; then I was not here writing to you, with big hopes!

But what is strange is that even the gurus start to make campaigns as if they are against gurus!!!

It is not so easy to keep faith too long. Let`s start to do the right thing. Let`s start to earn some!

Nahyan 02.17.10

hey man,

I remember reading Guru’s Dream and it was excellent. So I’m definitely looking forward to this.

My site right now is slowly growing, I’m building myself within my niche. The constraint now is to really go big and start working with the top guys in my niche. So I’d like to learn more on working with the gurus (the good ones) and impact as many people as possible.

Take care,
Nahyan

ps. I actually “returned” to your site after seeing you comment on Rich Schefren’s blog doing his series.
Steve 02.17.10

Great video Alex. I come across you about 3 months ago and have been on a couple of your webinars. Great job what your doing and i’ll certaintly look forward to learning loads of you in the future.

Olanrewaju 02.18.10

Hi Alex,

If this could be true, then I have seen the type of person I have been looking for online since .

Though, some have seems to be good among those so called gurus (I don’t even know which one to call guru among them) but I am yet sure if they are really sincere to help. There are just very few of them that I like so much and at times I wish I could be with them but no opportunity.

Alex, your name may never be forgotten on the Internet for ever if what I heard from your video lecture is true because you would have created an exceptional and ever continuing traces on making money online on the Internet.

If you are really sincere with it – not like others who are always only after our money but not ready to assist us in reality at all to even just be making 0.5% of the money they claim here and there (if at all they are making them in truth)- then you are the one I have been searching for online since.

Can you imagine, I had been spending my life online to make money, not less than 18 hours a day on my computer, buying this and that material(despite being highly poor financially) after reading this and that magical words guaranteeing me of making money online; yet nothing to show for them….Don’t let me write too much here alex, may be I will have to send mail to you in confidence so that I can reveal in detail because I have been seriously burnt and now really in serious debts………

I am highly ready to become your student right away. So count me in for those invaluable materials.
Gen 02.18.10

Hey Alex, Thanks for the info. It is very frustrating to get your business started online. There’s always that HOTT new thing that people are trying to shove down your throat.Most everything that I have bought it the same shit with a different name on it.

It gets tiring and you start to loose hope. Every now and again, I feel that there is someone who really wants to help people, so I’m glad I ran across your information. Looking forward to the journey.
Amanda 02.18.10

Hi Alex
Have been off line for a while and came across your

John 02.18.10

Hi Alex

Guru’s nightmare sounds great and look forward to reading it shortly, I hope!

I have been online for some time now but find that almost everyone including so called Guru’s, never tell you how to do anything they promote and if they include instructional videos, these are usually very short and skim over what needs to be done.All very vague and unhelpful.

As a result nothing is achieved and we are all back to square 1.. Many so called courses are far too expensive.

Best wishes

Rob 02.18.10

Hi Big Al, yes of course we are interested in your latest monster creation. We’d be insane not to listen to your teachings.
But everyone talks about the gurus & their games but nobody actually names them. Are you going to put your balls on the line & name&shame them?(the ones who deserve to be). Of course they are not all bad in fact I think most are very good & clever at what they do.
The problem us mere mortals have always faced is pure gigantic overload of info. & trying to stay focused on one task at a time to try to progress.
Once you’ve made a fair amount of money & can afford to hire help etc. your away, but until that time it’s a constant daily struggle. Nobody seems to design their super systems around a persons faimly & work demands etc. I think even you Alex were able to start a IM business because you had a successful ebay business running that gave you the freedom to do so. I know you still had to get the ebay bus. of the ground first but that must of been a lot eaiser than selling info. online. Sorry for the ramble, just tell us how to get started & stay ultra focused.
The latest distraction seems to be a hundred ways on how to generate traffic(obviously very important) but who’s method or methods do we follow/trust?? —HEELLP!!
Jeromy 02.18.10

Hi Alex,

Over the past four years, I have actually put a lot of methods to the test, and after royally screwing up most of them before getting them (almost) right, I found that quite a few techniques sort of work…

…but nothing worth bragging about. I almost have my debt paid off (yes- I learned some very expensive lessons).

A helping hand would be nice to have.

All too often there’s an admission price that most beginners can’t afford (obviously, they haven’t made anything yet). It’s hard for me to grasp how cash on hand determines a person’s aptitude.

That, in turn, begs the question of whether any confidence is held by the “coach” in their own ability to teach. When the student succeeds, paying off the course shouldn’t pose a problem.

Things like that always made me wonder.

The other big issue was when they would tell you WHAT to do- but leave out HOW…

Guru: “You need to set up a good email campaign that keeps your subscribers actively engaged, and gains their trust.”

Me: “Right. Email campaign. Let’s set that up.

It doesn’t say how in the material. How do I do that again? Oh yeah- videos can’t answer questions. Ebooks either.

Maybe if I can figure this out myself, I’ll be able to make that $2,000- then I can ask a real person. But by then, why would I even need to ask what I already know?”

Or little snags, like a social bookmarking “trick” that involves proxy servers and multiple accounts…

…obviously that “guru” has never tried registering while using a proxy server.

Sounds great in theory, but I still really wonder how they got past the captcha.

Things like that. It’s the small details that get left out- which happen to be the ones that determine whether that approach actually works. Coincidence?

I can’t determine if it is on purpose or if it’s just an oversight, but it is entirely too common.

So… Yeah. I’d like two shots of coaching and an ebook on the side, please. I can always use some help.

Richmon 02.18.10

Good Day Everyone

Who is at fault when people do not make money online?

The guru? The customer?

Is the customer ready?

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.

If they are not ready, nothing can make them successful.

Are you an entrepreneur at heart?

How about the guru?

They are in the business of selling and not educating.

Educating you about the virtue of hardwork and etc. Actually it is a given if you ever want to succeed in anything in this world.

They will sell you what you want in their salesletter. Or what you want to hear i.e. make money fast and easy

The late Corey Rudl once said that business is hard work.

So why do you want to do it?

If we do not have a good and strong why, we will give up easily.

Whether we make it or not it lies not outside us but within ourself.
Izzy 02.19.10

Hi Alex,

I am not familiar with your courses but your video makes sense and I believe you sincerely want to help, which isn’t always the case.
After deciding to build an online business, I found a lot of help in the Warrior forum and lots of free stuff everywhere (always some useful bit of information) but mostly I have a problem with conflicting data and how to deal with the famous “information overload”. After eliminating the gurus who mostly want to sell you expensive stuff, there are still a lot of internet marketers left, from rather successful to extremely successful, all eager to help and each having different viewpoints on things. Something that works for one might not work for another person.

Studying all that information is very time consuming (add to that English isn’t my first language and computer talk wasn’t my favorite activity, and you have defined hell!)

How to decide what’s best and what will work when you don’t have all the knowledge and zero experience?

I am extremely willing to take action and work very hard. I have business knowledge, having been very successful at offline businesses in the past. But understanding precedes action. If you don’t know where to go and if you don’t understand how to get where you might want to go, how can you get somewhere????

Thanks again for the video, it released a flood of frustration in my mind when I listened to it.

Best,

Izzy
Karen 02.19.10

Hi Alex,

You’ve certainly got my interest.

Confusion fueled by too much information, and discouraging results on action taken are my main issues. I would gladly welcome anything you can offer that will create clarity for me so that I can clearly see the direction I need to take to make a reliable recurring income online.

Looking forward to hearing more,

All the best,

Karen
Val Flint 02.19.10

Alex, I could hear the sincerity in your voice – I believe you ARE sick of all the nonsense & false promises & you DO want to expose the truth to those who continue to struggle – you are a breath of fresh air, being prepared to risk turning some of the “gurus” against you in the pursuit of integrity.

I too lost thousands of $$ believing the hype initially & I am angry about that, because I was trying to supplement my single pension, with my husband now in a Nursing Home. Instead I found myself in a WORSE financial situation!!

I finally came upon MLMLeadSystemPro who have taught me a lot of techniques & strategies related to the marketing process, but I am still not earning much money.

I was banned by Google while trying to learn ppc adwords last year, however I advertise regularly, mainly by email, but find that few people actually buy!

I joined your last coaching program intially, but, being 71, I found the technical aspects too daunting. I don’t WANT to learn tech. stuff at my age, but can’t really afford to outsource & wouldn’t know who to ask anyway. So that leaves me in a bind! But I keep on keeping on…

If you can throw some light on how to attract people who will buy, that would be extremely helpful – I certainly appreciate your willingness
to “give back” for free – you obviously DO understand the financial limitations of those in the early stages of marketing.

Thank-you, Alex!

Hey Alex,

I’v read your two Guru’s reports~!

Great stuff and I can feel your honesty from the contents of ur reports.

I’v built up a few websites now…but no cash…followed som of those big name gurus strategies…..still no cash.

I’m starting to have doubt about IM…I heard other people makin money from IM….but how come that never happen to me…..is it somethin i’v done wrong during the process?

Many questions and uncertainty starting to show up….and kinda not too sure wut to do now to be able to become successful online~!!

Is it about mindset or somethin else?

Thank you again for your reports~!!

Looking forward to hear more from you~!

Hi Alex,

I watched you succeed, on line over these last few years from your Welsh home, envious of your achievment, but know its down to focus, determination and the mind set to succeed, on your part, which has got you where you are today. I just have not been able to emulate your ways, so have not got any where yet! Perhaps your new information will further inspire me too!?

Best regards to you Alex.

Jacinta Dean 02.21.10

Hi Alex,

I know quite a few students who have learned from you and love what you teach. I am really interested in your reports. I have not read them yet. I have been a students of John Thornhill’s for the last 18 months. I have learned heaps however I am still only earning pocket money that is basically paying for my hosting.

I am a stay at home mum trying to learn how to create a business online for my family. I am often the sole provider and I do not want to be on welfare for the rest of my life! I want a future for my daughter. I want to be able to buy a house and a car one day. I don’t even own a car!

This industry is my future for my daughter. I want my daughter to be proud of me. I am ready to learn more!

Thank you for offering this training for free! Since my daughter was 6 weeks old, (she is nearly 3) I have been trying to learn how to create a business online. I have added up how much I have spent on the so called Guru’s and I have wasted nearly $5,000! The only coaching that was not a waste is John’s and Ed Dale’s. Every other product I have bought or tried to learn from has just taken my money and run! I really despise the Guru’s and boy could I name a few of them arrogant #$%^&*(. They are not out there to really help you. They just want your money like a sleezy car salesman! And when you are trying to raise a child, loosing that amount of money that should have been food on my table is not nice!! And I am being polite!

Now let me ask you Alex. Are you just like the other guru’s. Hmmmmmmm? Is this your way of leading us in to then promote the high ticket item and take more money we really can’t afford to pay out. Or are you actually genuine and you really are going to give back and really help the little people?

I am curious to find out.

Cheers

Jacinta :D
Betina Yurkus 02.22.10

Hi Alex! You Video just got my engine running at some serious RPM’s. If there is one thing I am sick and tired of on the web, it’s the hype and bull that everyone is sending us in our email nowadays. I can’t wait to get some info that is refreshing and revealing. I’m sure your report “Gurus Nightmare” will be the just the answer for those of us who are tired of having Nightmares on the web.
Can’t wait to read it and have good dreams instead! :-)
Jonathan Conley 02.22.10

I am a software engineer and have always struggled with marketing. I have the technical skills to make anything you could ever want for an internet business but I don’t know how to actually get business myself. So when a friend from church gave me a tip that lead me to your site I was very excited! I like the idea of just the facts and no-hype your video talked about and I am looking forward to reading your report Gurus Nightmare.

I have been making software since 1993 so to show my appreciation for this report if you have any kind of software, hardware, computer architecture question please don’t hesitate to email and ask me. I will give you also the straight scoop on any web technology out today.

Thanks Jon
Gaz 02.22.10

Hi Alex, great stuff mate. I have a small group of people who i subscribe to that i really can trust to look after my best interests & you Alex are one of them.
One thing that really pees me off is when i receive an email off one of these so called gurus obviously doing their mate a favour by sending me a crap report with an opt in form.
I have learnt a lot over the last two years but still keep hitting stumbling blocks, a lot is down to information over load trying to do too many things all at once.
Hopefully things will all fall into place one day & maybe with your guidance Alex it will be sooner rather than later.
Take care

Matt 02.22.10

Hi Alex,

I’m a little nervous about leaving this message as I promised myself I would be real.

Financially I’m on my arse confidence wise not a great deal higher. To cut a long storey short at the end of last year my website building company went under.

Having run the company for 5 years I have experience in some of the technology (though had tech guys to do this for me) and have an significant awareness of marketing and some on-line stuffs.

However, it has become clear that I have been missing something, it was never hugely profitable and ended up costing me a lot of money when it was closed.

I now have nothing left apart from my brain and motivation to look after my young family.

I have looked into the on-line marketing world and been sceptical about some of the claims made.

However, I’ve liked your stance on the business and the fact that you have had recent success makes me believe that you can empathise with my position.

I don’t currently have a great idea for a business going forward other than perhaps to provide people with an opportunity of watching a brand new person (not even a newbie, this is my very first post on the topic, I don’t even have a site to drive any interested traffic to) become a success on-line warts and all.

What do you think?

P.S. I understand that the medium term success of this plan will rely on me and my business accelerating at an interesting and intriguing pace to making a living on-line. I do not intend to linger long in any nightmare as I hoping I can get out of this current one. Hope you can help.

kind regards,

Matt.

Mary Barnes 02.22.10

Alex,

I really need someone honest to help me. I have been on the internet for 5 or 6 years and still am not successful. Due to the fact that I am gullible and believe what everyone tells me, if I just give them some money I will be successful.

Now this many years later, I have NO Money and I am a senior citizen wanting to retire. So you can see I am in distress.

I would really appreciate your help and I know I can be successful with it.
Kenneth MacDonald 02.22.10

ITS ABOUT TIME!Hello Alex, Kenneth here. I’ve been following you for a short time. I gobble up everything you send. I’m one of the masses you speak of.I’m a newbie, looking for the TRUTH.Unfortunately, I’m not in a financial position to spend thousands of dollars on coaching programs. I spent all I could and received some info, but most missed the mark. I’ve been waitng for a so called Guru/expert to actually put up or shut up. Lets see the proof in the pudding. Then mnaybe, just maybe I’ll give you my hard earned money. So, I quess you are the one.. Finally. Cheers, mate. I’m sleepless with excitement. I’m eargerly awaiting your direction. Thanks again, Kenneth

I am one of your latest students, and while I struggle to find the time to finish the course, I look forward to your new book.
Sally 02.23.10

Hey Alex, would love to read your new report, Sally :)
Duane 02.23.10

I also am one of your newest students. It is a great course but time wise I struggle as well. I can’t wait to really get things going.It will be great to see the new book. Any help is slways great.
Tony 02.24.10

I have been your subscriber for a long time and a reader of your blogs. You are one of the less than 1% honest so called Gurus on the net. The rest sell you their products and services but never explain in detail or tell you how to correctly put them into action. They leave bits of the inf scattered all over their products so you can buy all of them. By the time you get to product # 5 you have forgotten the begining.
Robert Peterson 02.24.10

I just want to say thank you for being out in the open about the real internet marketing game.I would really like to have the report but I would really like to have the one on one coaching if possible.Also, you are so right about the so called Guru`s, the lot of them is full of it.
Lee Parry 02.24.10

Hey Alex,
I have been following you for a long time now and since October 2009 I joined your student program, so anymore information from you is fantastic and constructive for me. You are the only one that has taught me stuff that has made me move forward because you are honest and straight down the line. I think your probably right there is something else that I am missing in someway, I have thought about this for a while now, and I really hope this is it for me to be a success and to finish the jigsaw. So I hope to talk soon Alex and good luck

For the first time in my life i am excited about the future.. i even wrote my first report this week, first time i sat down and wrote something since college.. lol.. teach me!!
Mike Mott 02.26.10

Alex
Way to go-as usual.
~I’m in. My problem is as with just about everyone else information overload and moving from there to generating cash, ie putting it all together as a business. I recognise some of the personal issues in here as a single parent who is “in between” jobs.
That said, I’ve got to make it work this year, so there’s the motivation for a better life for myseld and my kidz.
I’m in on AF’s special bonus with you-so there’s mme putting my money (whats left of it :)) where my mouth is.

Norman Clark 02.26.10

Hi Alex, I believe in the saying that it is never too late and you are never too old. Well here I am, 70 years old and still fighting on after two heart attacks. I had a good life and then my comkpany failed due to the awful banks. I intend to start again and after spending a substantial amount of money buyings and listening to the so called experts and GURUS???? I am no further making money on the internet as when I first decided to do business on the internet. It seems to me that the GURUS are only interested in continually selling you more and more info they say is not available anywhere else but only from them and provided you buy their BS you will make money. I have found that not all but most of what is being offered is just hype. I have listened to your video and for once I heard someone who was straight talking and sounded sincere in what he was offering, which was HOPE and success. Well done and thank you for your honesty. I will wait to hear from you and look forward to being educated and guided by you. Perhaps you can tell me where I can obtain your books, GURU’S Dream, Newbies Nightmare and GURU’s Nightmare. Do keep up the good work as in these present times it is rare to find a man who is honest and sincere and believes in what he is offering his students. All the best,
Kind regards,Norman.
Rick 02.27.10

Alex,

I am tired, on information over-load, and not sure what direction is best.

I have invested way too much time and money and I’m still not sure what really works. Very limited success so far.

Andrew 02.27.10

I came across your name while perusing the Internet Marketing Report Card. I am currently a power seller on ebay but I want to start growing my business outside of ebay and I really look forward to your report and advise. Thanks for sharing your expertise!

Karen 02.28.10

I’ve been following you for a while. I’ve become very cautious about guru stuff, since I’ve been burned many times. Yes, I do want to learn this stuff. I’m so close yet so far away. I welcome the opportunity to learn more. Thank you for this opportunity.
Syed Akram 02.28.10

I love how it work like a “series” from your free report, but it the last one “Guru’s Nightmare”-another must read free report by Alex.
Ronnie 03.03.10

great video…looking forward to reading the book when available…
Theresa Mayhew 03.04.10

Hi Alex,
First, I want to thank you for taking a few minutes to read my last post and leave a comment. It’s been a rough few months, but tomorrow is my last radiation treatment for cancer.

Now I’m really ready to focus my attention and get it (online marketing/list building) right.

My first project will be a free ebook about cancer and my specific type. My goal is to help other people suffering with it as well a show how their friends and family can support them.

I’m looking forward to your latest and last ebook in this series as well as your coaching.

Thanks for being different from the rest.

Brent Ashworth 03.04.10

Hi Alex. Your passion is inspiring, a boost to get me past my chronic mental disorder and the hype and misinformation and succeed online. So you’ve come out with a series of reports. How do I get them? If I could get not only your reports but also your coaching for free (if still available), I’d be a very happy camper!

Yes, Alex. Thanks for telling it like it really is. I’m a fan for life.
David Monk 03.04.10

Alex I have been following you for a while and I cannot question your integrity as your sincerity just oozes out.
One of my excuses has been to let the day-job interfere with my online progress. The only few precious hours get taken up with falling asleep and other distractions.
That is changing. I have given up the day job and now convinced that my future income and prosperity has to come from an internet based activity.
I do not want overnight success, but to be guided a long a path which produces results from which I get success gain in confidence and enthusiasm because at last I see something that is working for me which and which brings out a passion about what it is I am doing.
I have learnt a lot and I could I say I know the fundamentals, I just need a coach to spur me on to do the correct things and not get distracted.
I can’t wait to get started!
Kat Chalfant 03.04.10

I want to get the free info; I’m getting so discouraged because I’ve spent so much money and time trying to progress in IN Marketing, and I’m just getting poorer instead of making money.

Ralph Harris 03.07.10

Hello Alex:
OK lets see what you have to offer!
I am a retired physician and I have spent the last 16 years and thousands of dollars to get into internet marketing. About 3 -4 months ago I shelled out another $10000+ to another Guru for another coaching course. I am religiously following their program, I have signed up for their websites, Clickbank, 7search, Yahoo, Adbrite, Google, Adwords, Adsense and on and on… I have been Facebooking, Twittering, WordPressing and Bloggering….and on and on. I have spent countless hours submitting to Article directories, and…. I have now sent you links to my 2 websites, which I am told are quite acceptable. BUT I HAVE NOT MADE ANY MONEY YET!!!
Yuoa are my last hope. Are you just another Guru who takes my money and cannot show me RESULTS?. I hav enow signed up as as a joint venture affiliate for your next launch at thend of this month. Show me the money!!!! Ralph
Robert Vonau 03.07.10

Hi Alex,

I really like your message in your video.

I have been at this internet marketing stuff for about a year and buy all the products and try what they teach with minimal results. Out of frustration, I feel my desire to keep plugging away at this internet marketing stuff quickly disappearing. It sucks when your hopes of making good money like all the gurus promise you with their products turns into just hoping to make some money to help get out of the debt you get yourself in trying to find something that works.

I’m willing to put in the work and have the time to do so but need something that works and is not just another waste of time. Hopefully that is what I will find with your coaching. Look forward to keeping up with your posts and being there when the coaching program opens.

Thanks,
Rob
Frank 03.08.10

Hi Alex,

Thanks for the pull no punches video. I think those who listened and watched the video in it entirety can appreciate your passion, focus and willingness to help. Looking forward to the training. The Gurus better hire a bodyguard lol
Alicia 03.09.10

Peter 03.11.10

I’ve been waiting for something like this. Bring it on!
Jim Lee 03.11.10

I am very interested in checking out the Guru’s Nightmare. The ‘head in the bed’ phrase is a very nice touch.

A practical suggestion I have for you is to make the “Leave a Reply” section which I am typing in right now to be more obvious to the user that might not be as savvy a social media(tor) as your average user. I am very new to social media interactions and it took me some clicking around to find this opportunity to leave a reply. Less determined people might retreat and miss out on your valuable information.

If you have any suggestions for a clear and sequential introduction to actually using this new fangled concept of ‘Social Media’ I would love to know. I have Gary V’s “Crush It” and “Inbound Marketing” and both are excellent books but they do not crack the nut of a ‘soft landing’ to this ever changing new world that we are calling ‘Social Media’.

This video that provoked my writing this commentary is one of the most excellent examples of Social Media. People love to express themselves once they get over the hump of inertia.

All I am looking for is to avoid some of the larger obstacles to succeed very moderately in online marketing.

Thanks very much,
Jim Lee
Sue McDonald 03.12.10

Hi Alex

They say if you want something done ask a busy person – so that is why I am asking you.

As you see my name is Sue McDonald and I live in Australia. I am at present doing the Newbie course with Mark Terrell who originally did the course with you a few years ago.

It’s interesting learning and like everyone that starts these types of courses we all want to make money and have more time to ourselves. I hope you are making a great living and if you have time over the next few weeks and you could take a look at my blog and leave a comment, I would certainly appreciate it.

Kindest regards

Sue
Duane McLaughlin 03.12.10

This is great knowing that someone cares about people like who wish they could crack the hipe that people tell us there way is the only way and just sell us hipe. Can’t wait to receive this. Bring it on.
Thanks

Vance Sova 03.15.10

Hi Alex,

Nice cover for your new free report – the mirror effect especially.

Are you really going to do away with the gurus?

I look forward to reading about the Gurus Nightmare.

I like your honesty in your approach.

It would be great if you actually replied to some of these comments to really show that you’re reading them.

When is your new report coming out?

I’d like to get it as soon as it does.

So looking forward and can not wait for your new report to go live.

Best regards,

P.S. Great Webinar the other night man, just love the way you give great content. If I can be 3 quarters as good as u online Alex, I will be over the moon.

Martyn Moss aka bookaholik 04.02.10

I have been trying for 3 years, but the only thing that has worked for me is eBay It is so difficult to sort out the wheat from the Chaff, But having read Guru’s Nightmare today I know at least one genuine Marketer and a Brit at that !!! I will follow you now and perhaps I will get out of the finacial black hole that is my life at present. 3 cheers for good guys Hip Hip Hooray !
Jeff 04.02.10

Hey Alex

I could have copy & paste from the above comments and yep am too one of those suckers with the credit cards on the other side of the screen. There lots of promises but all B.S. !
I am interested in finding out more about how your 99% past students succeeded. Love to hear from you shortly. Cheers
Jamie Clark 04.03.10

Alex – Jamie here from Bournemouth in Dorset, UK.

The more I read through your blog posts the more I come to realise that despite my driving motivation and determination I am no different to every one else who has yet to make money online.

So much so that I have now decided that despite spending years of my life learning and trying to implement what experienced marketers ( Okay the gurus! ) say to do, I have become more experienced at excepting failure than success.

With out even realising it, I have alsmost allowed myself to believe that I will never make money on line – and that has not been through lack of trying.

My attempts to become a success online have not been fueled by an immediate need for cash. I have a secure job. For me it goes far deeper. The need to work for myself, to provide for my family through my own achievments. The idea that my own motivation and drive could provide my family and I with a lifestyle I could only ever dream about.

I have been trying to harness the power of the internet since 2000 and despite experiencing more failures than I care to remember, something still pushes me to keep trying and achieving ( sorry never have been very good at spelling! )

So I wanted to write to you in the hope that if ever the situation arises, I would love to be considered for your coaching program as your words provide me with more clear motivation than spoken by any other marketer I have listened to before.

I hope this email finds you and your family well
…and if you are ever visiting dorset I would love to take you guys out for a meal on me!

Macdonalds sounds okay! Thanks again Alex

Kind regards Jamie Clark

Jeffery James 04.03.10

Alex it seems that we all have been tricked by theses guys and yes some gals to.Think god for you Alex even though you haven’t really help us yet I know you can and will. There is just something that just tells me that you are the real deal
.And if you read this and respond to me,then you will be the first out of dozens I have ask for their help.
I made a promise to you Alex and took it down in fear that it might come across to some readers as weird.So first I would like to run it buy you and see if you would except it.

All I know is that I will give you %100 so you will not be wasting your time.
Paul Dimmock 04.04.10

Hi Alex,

I have just watched the video above, read your new report and am about to read it for a second time. Wow man, this is powerful stuff. Your report is the best thing I have ever read !!! When I first read the report I could see so much of myself in it.

Chasing the online dream, being marketed to, day in and day out, buying the next shiny ‘Push Button’ biz that hit my email inbox. To the extent (and I am very embarrassed to say this) that I very nearly lost my home because of this :-( . To be honest with you Alex I have been trying to start up an online busniess for some years now and have had only very very limited success.

I now understand that you must market to your prospects and not sell to them. Plus you need to have a campaign set up before you even start to market to them. It is clear now that its not about selling its all about Marketing and building Relationships with your prospects and helping them as much as you can to succeed.

With reference to my last post when you released your report, I would be very honered if you would mentor me Alex. I know that I have the drive, determination and the will power to succeed and become one of your next online success stories. Then in turn help other people to become sucessful online with honesty and integrity.

Once again Alex, many, many thanks for your powerful content, YOU ROCK MAN !!!

Besr regards,

Paul D.

You have beaten me to the punch here, I have been highly considering writing an e-book regarding the guru promises of the 40 acers and a mule belief.. I like your work methology
Jeff 04.04.10

Alex,

Thanks for the video and the insight into the wool being pulled over so many people’s eyes. I am…scratch that…WAS one of those people…hopping on to every early bird guru list to pay out the nose what was coming out of their asses.

Not that all of it was horse shit though…it just wasn’t the whole picture and what I needed to actually build a successful business. Plus the fact that after not seeing the microwave results as promised, I felt frustrated and looked for another silver bullet to relieve my anxiety of a growing credit card build and guilt of not taking consistent and persistent action.

Looking forward to your straight up no horse shit mojo…

Bring it on!
Jeff
Sharyn 04.05.10

mike 04.06.10

Hello Alex :-) Firstly,A BIG GOD BLESS YOU!!!! for your wonderfull honest heart.I am allready touched by your honesty,and i have to say,the most honest person i have ever met online,period :-) To me (frustrated) is an understatement. Yes i have spent thousands of $$$ on the so called (fantastic next big thing that will transform your life and you will make a fortune in no time),he,he,not funny at all of course.I am shure you youself and many others have sat there spending hundreds of hours writing excitingly the information you just have to have ,by watching a video that will transform your life,and you will be financialy free for life.Boy,talk about writing,ever sat there with pen in hand,and you get cramp after writing for literally hours?It is us little guy’s with the best intensions that get sucked in every time,and us with the best intensions that get ripped off every time also. Trust me ALEX,this news will shock you.I LOST MY SON SAMUEL(SAMMY) ON THE 18TH OF JUNE 2006.SAMMY CAUGHT A VIRUS AT THE HOSPITAL AT AGE 2 YEARS,AND IT DESTROYED HIS LIFE.SAMMY NEVER WALKED OR TALKED AGAIN,SAMMY WOULD WAKE UP IN POOLS OF BLOOD,HAVE CONSTANT SIEZURES,TURN BLUE,WE,(ME AND MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE, KERRY ANN, WOULD LIVE AT THE HOSPITAL FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS!!! WE WOULD ONLY BE AT HOME FOR ONE OR TWO DAYS AT A TIME LITERALLY,BEFORE HAVING TO TRAMP THE CAR OF TO EMERGENCY AS USUAL. SAMMY WAS EXACTLY 2 MONTHS FROM TURNING 13 YEARS OLD WHEN(I AM CRYING WRITING THIS) WHEN SAMMY STARTED TO PASS AWAY(HATE THAT WORD) HERE AT HOME WITH US. I KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE (UNFORTUNATELY) TO HAVE YOUR SON PASS AWAY IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES. I wasn’t going to get into all of this,but i can only be honest,it is your honesty ALEX that has made me willing to share this with you. Well i have been on the intenet for 3 years now,and i have been seriously studying,and loosing my money for the past 8 months.and I have absolutely gotten no where!!! The world is full of evil people,and my first thoughts were that-the internet is the perfect place for crimanals.As there are so many crimanals in everyday life trying to rip us off,what a wonderfull tool the internet is for them.Anyway,i could go on forever on the rippoffs i have had,etc.. All i can say is,THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART ALEX,THAT YOU YOURSELF HAVE THE WONDERFULL HEART TO SHARE THE TRUTH WITH EVERYONE,I THANK YOU ,AND I MUST SAY,I LOVE YOU FOR THIS, GOD BLESS YOU ALEX,AND, THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,FROM SAMMY KERRY ANN AND MIKE(HEY THAT’S ME AT THE END,HE,HE:-)
Richard Lugg 04.06.10

Hey Alex:
This is one of the finest and honest assessments of the Guru situation. You say it as it is.
If only ( how many times do we say that in our life?). If only I had had just a small portion of your information before starting out in IM, I would be much better off financially today. I made some, shall we say, bad decisions guided by gurus, but they were my decisions and mine only. Besides, Gurus Nightmare hadn’t been written :-).

Thank you,Alex, for your wonderful report that will guide me for the rest of my journey through Internet Marketing Oh! my wife thanks you too :-).
I wish you every success in your future endeavors

PS: I would like to join one of your coaching programs, but let the younger ones do it.
Sharon Ann Roach 04.06.10

Hi Alex.

How are you?

I am writing to say-Finally. You are so so right.I have tons of material on my computer. How to do this and how to do that.

I am doing a how to program on how to do affiliate marketing. Then I was going to learn how to build my own website.

This morning I am listening to an internet guru video saying that affiliate marketing programs are not the way to go.

Arggggh.

Then last week. I signed up for two other sites. “Promote this and you will make money.” I had three domain names. When I transferred my domain names over to hostgator from go daddy. I open the sites. I now have two opt in sites. So now I have to go into my affiliate program to see how to set these up.

I find this very frustratiing. I am trying so hard to stay focused on one thing at a time, and I am being sent all over.

I would really like to see a program where everything is included but everything is done step by step videos showing you how)- whether you want to work in affiliate programs (which I think is great for getting your feet wet), and setting up a web site, and then how to promote your programs.

Also, not have someone tell me that I can be making money in 24 hours. It is imposible since you have to wait 24 to 72 hours for your transfer from go daddy to hostgator to be effective.I hate being lied to.

I truly believe people come into your life for a reason, some for a season, and some to hold your hand until you are able to walk alone.I am sincerly hoping you will hold my hand until I am able to walk alone.

Thank you for being so caring, honest, thoughtful and compassionate.

May love, health, wealth, happiness, and abundance stay with you and your family always.

God bless you

Candy 04.06.10

Hi Alex,

I stumbled upon the IMReportCard.com site a couple of weeks ago and was delighted to see people’s reviews of “guru’s”. Now, I try not to get distracted by the overload of info and emails I get daily after looking at that site. If someone doesn’t have a good rating, I don’t read their stuff. Which is why I’m writing you. I looked you up on the site and everyone was giving wonderful reports about you.

I have spent many thousands on IM and coaching courses for the past 3 yrs and and still feel like a beginner. One $5000 course I bought from a guru because he said the first “so many” he would email our offer to his list of 500,000. NOT! I am a 61 yr old non-techie woman who needs basic info on exactly how to make money on the internet, step by step. I need to learn in language a first grader would understand.

I’m looking forward to any help you can offer.

Blessings,

Candy

Tjulku 04.10.10

Hi Alex,

Frankly, I hadn’t hear of you before since I got today a mail with a link to your site.
The video I listened to seems all about having success. It seems you have plenty success.
I downloaded your report ‘Guru’s Nightmare’ and will read it asap.
I don’t know what it is all about, but to my knowledge on Guru’s [I mean a real GURU] not
Internet proclaimed Guru’s, they have a dreamless sleep, they do not have nightmare’s.
So the title of your book seems a contradiction…………

I once met such a real mind-blowing Guru, not an Internet Guru I suppose your book and
you are talking about, a Real Guru is not one who wants to become……… but just IS.

Well, its time to read your report I guess while drinking a beer……………..

Talk soon, again..

Ashawndra 04.17.10

I am a teenager about to 18 in a few months. i was first introduced to internet marketing about a yr n some months ago. I have been sucked up in hype an have tried a couple differant ways to make money online. I have resently struggle in the last week to try to scrap up the money needed to join your coaching program this week and because you broke it up into payment (i had just enough in my bank account) i was able to get a spot in MWA 3.0. I pray that its as life changing as you say and before monday i plan on reading all three of your report in order this time lol to mentally prepare myself for yor teaching. To me i know my future is in internet marketing nothing else would be good enough for me and i have every intention of making it big online (im striving higher than Eban Pagen right now for my businesses) >=] im determined to make it. So in advance Thank you for being my first mentor Alex =]]] ILL WORK HARD!! =D
Edwin Kok 04.19.10

Hi Alex

Got interested in website building many years back but not much success as you can see from my website.

After seeing your email on MWA Coaching 3, I am 100% sure your can lead me to my first success in IM. I have signed up for your MWA Coaching 3 program and look forward to it

My husband was layed over in March of 2009 and we decided to use the internet to become independent and make some money. We signed up with StoresOnLine and they made it look really easy. As we found out, not so, it takes a lot of hard work which we are willing to do, but finding the best ways to do things is not easy and we have wasted money.

We have signed up for your coaching course that you are now doing in hopes of learning your techniques to make money on the internet and apply them to our giftbasketventures sight.

I have downloaded your report and we will read it.
Thank you for all you are willing to do to help people become successful

Hi Alex,

Wow! I really do love your honesty and you have mentioned so many things about all the hype that gurus put up to make you buy from them. I am just stopping by to say that I appreciate the message you have put across in this video.

I have downloaded the report and I am really looking forward to it.

I wish you all the best and have a great day.

Hey Alex,

I have been online for two years. I have purchased two other coaching programs. I didn’t make any money from either program. I have a small list and I make 3 to 4 sales a week. I’m afraid to mail my list for fear my list will unsubscribing. Slick sales presentations leave me cold. I have spent thousands of dollars on useless products.

But, I know I will be successful online. I will make a difference. I will create products that actually help people have better lives. I know this will happen.

You see, I finally found a coaching program for me. I know how this coaching program will be a win win for anyone who decides to do the work. I believe in the law of attraction.

I’m just happy to be apart of it.

Your MWA 3.0 Student,
Steven Keltsch

My story ?

Still a “work in progress” despite being 10 years in the preparation stage and picking up bits and pieces from the Guru”s and spending a fair bit of cash for the priviledge :-)

I don’t blame the guru’s personally as they prsent the pitch and I bought into it … many times over so that’s my decision.

What I am bored with now is the type of pitch that starts with an enticing offer ‘at only $xx and then when clicked out it comes back with another $10 off as a special offer … that tactic just now makes me mad as hell ! Even had one recently that kicked of at $67 and I just kept clicking out until it finally stopped at $17 !

Then there’s the others that follow the upsell/downsell route after the sucker low price start and I f****ing hate those … they just leave you feeling cheated before you’ve even got to read what you paid for on the front end :-)

Now there are certain guru emails I don’t even bother opening anymore because you just know what style and offer type is going to follow so something has gotta give ?

Will be interesting to see what comes of your new report although not sure I’ll get it as I clicked on the ‘Newbies Nightmare download free report’ link I found and just got a ‘sorry sold out page’ … what’s all that about Alex ?

Greetings from Southern California. Hello Mr. Jeffreys. I found you on the Internet
through one of your students, actually 2. Call that luck. Destiny. Whatever, I’m glad
I ran into you. I’m a ‘newbie’ in the internet marketing. I’ve been reading up a number
stuff, including buying/subscribing systems from the so called gurus. To say the least,
the whole learning process has been overwhelming. Confusing, not knowing which one works and so on. And expensive too. I look forward to following your lead. And your
system. Thanking you in advance.

Hi Alex,
I’ve seen you on some of Lee Mcintyre videos and you come across really down to earth. Matt Wolfe also recommended you and he’s another big fan.
I’d love to hear what you have to say. I’m just plugging away.
Cheers, all the best Steve

Hi Alex,

Great to know about this from Anna Haller. I’ve recently checked on her blog and found it interesting as she also talks about how you teaches people in the course. I’m a full-time virtual assistant at the moment and hopefully will build my own outsourcing business in the near future.

I look forward to getting the free copy as well. :)

Thanks a lot!

Joanna
Thanks!

We look forward to any help that you give us in becoming successful on the internet.

Alex,

I would be very interested in hearing / seeing what you have to say. I have also gotten pretty tired of watching promotional videos for 1-1.5 hours each time, only to have them end before actually showing what they promised, and of course the end is a big sales pitch for another very expensive report or product.

So you have my attention. I want to see what this is all about, and learn how it might be applicable to me.

Thanks.

Hi
I just randomly came across an old tweet of yours, and it happens to be at the right time. I’m just now building an internet presence for my business. Also, I started writing my first book this month, and I want to hit IM really hard for my book. Please send me a copy and coach me. I can’t wait to learn something from you because your marketing style is super hot. You have a nice following, I read 60% of the responses before mine. Have you ever done the Landmark Forum?
Excited to learn more about you and your coaching

Hi Alex,

Very interested in hearing from you I am a student of Mark Terrell’s and he has always a kind word about you and your teachings. I would love for you to stop by my blog and see the progress I have made in learning from Mark and for you to comment..
Charlie 09.04.10

I heard about you from Matt Wolfe, I was attracted to him because he is my resource to start my blog, when he said you were his mentor I had to check you out. I look forward to really knowing how to make money online… I’ve been cursed by the shiny objest syndrome.
