		<description>I totally agree with everything you&#039;ve said in this post.

I recently unsubscribed to all but two mailing lists. I was getting a TON of product launch offers, all promising to be &quot;The One&quot;.

I realized that I just looked like a big ol&#039; cow ready to be milked to these guys! ;-)

M
As a result, my inbox is a much cleaner, happier place and I spend more time working than protecting my utters.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s amazing how these marketing &quot;guru&#039;s&quot; know how to manipulate the market. By working together with JV&#039;s they get their launch everywhere so you can&#039;t avoid taking a look and getting tempted.</description>

		<description>Melissa,

I do agree with you for the most part.  I think part of it is that most of these courses sell &quot;it&quot; as being very easy to do.  I think most people who buy these things start to dig into it and see the potential, but far underestimate the amount of effort they need to put into it.  I have personally spent thousands of dollars on different programs and many were junk but many were good also.  It&#039;s a matter of actually doing the work and learning.  Nothing is easy.  If it was, everyone would be doing it.  I can say that the absolute best course I have ever bought bar none was only $77.  The sales letter had all the claims and I was actually very surprised that by the end of the letter it was only $77.  Of course they were selling a $57 monthly back end program that I initially did not buy but probably will here shortly.  My point is the course was so unbelievably thorough that I finally had the aha moment you hear about.  It took me about a month to go through everything thoroughly enough to fully grasp what to do, but I can honestly say I now make money online and it is increasing every month.  

But I do have disagree a bit with your analogy above.  True if these guys were making $20k a month per site it does not seem to make sense to sell a program that may only net them $120k versus just building sites to get to that same number.  One thing to consider, as in my post above, is that most of these programs are now selling back end continuity programs that may cost $50-100 month on a recurring basis.  So yes $120k on the front side seems like it may not be worth the effort but if you end up with 500 members paying just $47 month in a member site, by my math that is $23,500 in recurring billings.  Plus you have 500 people who trust you enough to pay you that fee every month which in and of itself is a buyers list that may be priceless.  Those people will buy lateral products form you for years as long as they feel taken care of.  At $77 month we&#039;re talking $38.5k monthly and at $97 month (of which there are quite a few) we&#039;re talking $48.5k a month recurring.  Suddenly it seems like it might not be such a bad idea after all, no?</description>

		<description>It is refreshing to hear such honesty - I don&#039;t know if this product really does work and I suppose never will unless I buy it - but anything with so much &#039;marketing hype&#039; always makes me nervous</description>

		<description>Its a shame when you cannot trust &#039;respected&#039; professionals becuase they seem to select products based on their commission levels - surely their reputation is more important than short-term profit

		<description>Hi Melissa,
Wow, the price tag of this (course?) product makes me a bit concerned about its validity. 

I&#039;ve never heard of this product until I read this post. Thanks for offering your thoughts on this!
