This excellent 22-minute video should be required viewing for everyone starting an online business: The Contrepreneur Formula Exposed (youtube.com)…
It breaks down the tricks self-proclaimed business gurus use to sell 💩 products.
Key quote:
There’s a misconception that only thick people get scammed. That is not true at all. Anyone can be scammed. It has less to do with IQ and more to do with where you are in life. Whether you’re struggling with money problems, you hate your job, if you’re just feeling a bit down, you are more vulnerable and more likely to be sold on a shortcut.
I found that video via this Reddit post: Please be very wary of any “business personality” who is selling a “method” to be a rich or a millionaire
An excerpt:
By this point I’m starting to realise these people aren’t selling you a product but a dream. Have you noticed how none of them talk about what skills you will gain, it’s more about lifestyle and FREEDOM you gain. I seriously doubt anyone has got rich in a year from drop shipping or affiliate marketing unless you already had a following you could leverage.
That skills comment is on point 🎯
Dropshipping isn’t a skill. Neither is affiliate marketing.
You need to develop a whole bunch of skills to succeed at either of those, or any other kind of online business.
