Careful. Guberus are in prime spam mode this week. Niche Blueprint Version 2 has been released in the wild. It’s that time of the year where the exclusivity memberships have to reload. The guberus are having a lip-smacking time promoting version 2 of this popular (expensive) membership.The competition is fierce. They can’t let more than a few hundred join. The exclusivity is what drives the massive sales each year. Why dilute the membership when you can get people thinking that if it closes then its really something important? The owners still get their million dollars each year of course for the signups and all the other goodies they pimp you.
Interestingly they are using the same promotion as last year. The birdcage seller. How exciting. I wonder why they couldn’t find someone else just as successful for this year. Like maybe the tophat seller. Or the heated toilet seat seller. Or the Obama LEGO seller. I have to assume that no one was more successful than the birdcage dude, even after a year of people working through the course. Otherwise they would have pimped that model, right?
Perhaps it’s not as easy as the guberus want you to believe. I have my ear to the Internet pipes. No one is screaming that you just HAVE to get in NOW or you WILL miss out. It’s like all other memberships. The information is good. But it takes just as much hard work as any other Internet Marketing scheme. You won’t sell shit if you don’t do keyword research. You still have to promote your site. It’s just on top of that noise you have to deal with physical products.
Dropshipping you say? Yes, that’s fun. NB2 has a database that is chock full of crap from people that can’t wait for you to spend (waste) your time selling their shit. I can’t tell you how boring/numbing/difficult/aggravating/soul-crushing it is to wade through the database in the hopes you will find something to dropship.
Sorry I’m no fan of this model. Ask the guberus that are pimping this offer if they have any dropshipping e-commerce sites that are productive. Most do not. They make their money in trying to get you to join shit like this.
Yes for all you folks in the cult, I’m sure there are plenty of people raking in millions of dollars selling dropship trinkets. It happens. I’m just too lazy to go back into that stupid model. If you have something to sell, then sell it. You don’t need some membership to set up an e-commerce site. Set up a blog/site and sell your whizmo through PayPal. Couldn’t be easier.
Still curious about the spam email? Give it a shot. Try it out. Get your $500+ back when you realize it sucks.

Sensible talk like that will land you on the guru hit list.
I’m pretty sure I’m not well liked. The forum chatter in the cult caves won’t be complimentary.
Hey Splork,
I have to admit, I was checking it out but had already decided it’s just more of the same. Not quite as elegantly put as your post though.
Cheers man.
Wow. Look at the first few pages of NucheBlueprint 2 listings in Google. Filled with bonus guberu niche crap sites. Should tell you all you need to know…
I’m pretty careful about what I buy and haven’t been taken for too many rides.
I bought Niche Blueprint (the original) last year when it first came up and actually built two successful web sites because of it. It did involve a lot of hard work but the course more than paid for itself.
I bought NB2 when it came out this year because the new keyword market research tool looked like it would be very helpful at quickly finding a niche that I could be successful with. It was … my new site is already netting nearly $100/day.
Scoff all you want, but these guys actually deliver on their promises. Those that aren’t successful just don’t put in the work.
Frankly, I hope people don’t buy it. The less knowledgeable competition, the better!
Scoffing is what I do.
Lazy is who I am.
NBx is not for me.
Speaking of Guru’s..
All is not well in Stomper Paradise. Looks like Brad and Andy aren’t “playing” well together these days..

shocking
I, too, bought Niche Blueprint 1.0 and put up a site that doesn’t make any money (probably because of the niche), but it did reach the objective — rank in the top natural search results for a chosen keyword. I even signed up for NB 2.0. I thought everything was very well delivered and I did learn a great deal. I can easily see why Scotty Mack’s site is doing as well as it is. If you’ve got the right niche, the rest is easy. I do agree, however, that most of the guru stuff out here is a bunch of B.S. and more rehash of the same. Have you noticed the latest, greatest, guru tactics are all about memberships. Everybody and their brother wants you to join their group to the tune of anywhere from $47 – $97/month. Does this tell you where the money is at? It isn’t about selling product anymore. It’s about getting members paying a huge monthly fee which tends to level out their incomes. But, I ask myself the same question, “If I were making so much money with web sites, why would I want the hassle of dealing with members. It’s a whole lot easier to throw up a money-making web site than it is to put together these huge coaching programs that all the gurus now have.” I’m going back to basics building good content web sites with some Adsense and affiliate products that sort of run themselves. Oh yes, I’m adding user generated content as well to keep them fresh. I’m taking the easy way out, but then I don’t want to be an Internet gazillionaire. Just my 2 cents.
