Thanks for telling me about John Reese’s videos. Why I must have had 10 emails alerting me to the fact that they are FREE! People are really nice aren’t they? All these people rushing to email me about something that is FREE! They are all quick to point out that he’s not trying to sell me anything today. So go watch for FREE! Cool huh?
Somehow I doubt these people would have emailed me about this FREE! video if there wasn’t something to gain. When I get a surge of emails telling me about FREE! this or that, I just tune out. The video I watched was pretty slick but didn’t say much that you probably don’t already know. Plus it didn’t really show you how to do what he was talking about. I’m guessing that is where you part with your money for his membership. Every single email talked about how much value this video provided. I dunno guys. Maybe I’m simply a dumbass and just don’t get it. Did any of you really not know that you can go to Ebay and find out what is hot and worthy of creating a website on? Are you really not paying attention to your competitors and not looking at how they make it #1 in Google?
I’m a hype curmudgeon. It makes me grumpy. They’re like, look what a nice guy I am by bringing this to your attention. It’s FREE! The tactic now is to let you know that they know that there is a backside, upsell, side deal somewhere in there. But it’s cool because this part is FREE! But if they didn’t stand to gain some affiliate dollars in the bargain somewhere then I’m doubtful they would have been so generous. But everybody has to make a living I guess. And so it goes.
The bottom line is you gotta figure out if paying hundreds of dollars a month is worthwhile for his course. It’s not for me. Maybe it should be. It’s not like I get a million viewers to my sites. Hell, I can’t even figure out how to keep my sites from vacationing at Google Beach.

I’ve gotten that friggin’ email 17 times this week! I just got into a whole argument with a guy that has sent it to me 6 times alone!

Yea, it’s really been the only new thing to pimp the last couple of weeks.

Dam the “gurus” (should i say parasites?)!!! I long ago have unsubscribed that piece of sh.. Emails (it’s the right word!!). If they hadn’t people reading and buying, their “guru ness” would be ZERO!!!! It’s a shame that so many people believes these guys. They buy the dam product, they become more “poor”, the products sucks, and they still believe these guys!

I hate to sound like a broken record, but Splork, you are dealing with the best guys around in Frank, Griz, Court, Teli, Vic, etc. Why even bother with the scumbags? There are a couple of other guys I would maybe add to the list, but leaving them off doesn’t hurt me one bit.

This John Reese guys says that he gets “millions” of visitors to his sites PER DAY. Why did he do these videos in the first place where he states it took him 4 years of research? Why doesn’t he live it up on those millions of hits per day that must be generating him tons of money? Ofcourse he’s going to sell you something. Why does he need our money if he already has “millions” of hits per day? If he has this (traffic) secret, why is he willing to part with it and then devalue and possibly not work anymore? Another typical guru tactic, spinning words until you part with your money.

I for one, am still hoping that one day there will come along a Guru who just gives away for free. 100%. But it is probably an eternal pipe dream.
No one does that. Even if they were friggin rich, earning more than all of us combined. Does Bill Gates give away stuff for free? Not even if they have enough money not to know what to do with it…..
The day a rich GURU just gives way his knowledge for free, is the day I fold up my online ventures.

Yes, John Reese, the guy behind BlogRush that sucks so much. I guess he’s started working the list he generated from that boondoggle. I guess he shouldn’t have pissed so many people off by telling them their site sucked with his ‘BlogRush Review’. I don’t trust him, his motives or anything he does. Stay away from John Reese.

Yea I’d forgotten about Blogrush. That was a piece of shit. I wrote as much last fall.

There are knowledgeable people giving away their know-how for nothing. I’ve mentioned a few here on Lost Ball. But this game is so screwball it’s hard for anyone to give their stuff away for nothing. I mean if I was making a million online, I could sell that knowledge or give it away. Either way the tactics that I use could possibly become shit. You have to weigh how helpful you want to be with whether or not you want to give up your ideas to the herd. I bet Vic rues the day he laid out his method for BANS, BMD and .info sites.

Exactly that splork. There are DETAILS that if you found them, you cannot share them. You can share the general figure, but NEVER the little details, that it’s almost impossible.

Didn’t John Reese promise a few years ago that he’s creating a website that will be totally free to help online entrepreneurs? That website, income(dot)com is still not live yet.

“I, just tune out… just don’t get it… a backside, upsell, side deal somewhere in there…”
I share the exact same feelings too.
Where got free breakfast … from these “gurus”?
