Niall Doherty

Hey, I’m Niall Doherty.

I quit my last 9-to-5 job back in 2010.

Since then, I’ve earned my living online in various ways. Over the last 4 years (through 2023) I’ve earned $842,000 from my laptop.

I’m on a mission to accurately rate and review all the best online business courses. My team and I are spending many hours investigating these courses and getting feedback from real students.

All that to say: we know a thing or two about such courses and making money online.

The Surprising Silence of Pat’s Students

One thing that has jumped out at me while reviewing several of Pat Flynn’s courses: for as big as his audience is, it’s hard to find student success stories and testimonials 😕

We’ve made quite an effort to reach out to many of Pat’s students and ask for their feedback on courses like 123 Affiliate Marketing and Amp’d Up Podcasting, but we never get much of a response.

I don’t have an explanation for this. But again, it’s quite strange. Usually, for someone of Pat’s stature with a suite of popular courses, I would expect to see lots of positive reviews and success stories from students online. But they are eerily absent.
