Is that "Only $37!" product going to change your life?
First, I want to illustrate what you guys are up against and show you just how quickly $37 can turn into a thousand dollars with a hundred dollar per month rebill.
These images were taken directly from several different product's affiliate pages. All are offering the same thing: a ton of money (Usually between $12k-$20k per month) with little or no work for only $37 upfront!
Take a look:
Now, let me explain what you're looking at.
The first number you see, typically between $33 and $77, is the front-end offering. You'll be sold on a STORY alone about how this product will change your life. You'll be shown pictures of bank accounts, cars, houses, and boats, and you'll be told that all of this and more is possible with this product that costs "Only $37!"
Unfortunately, here's what you really get for "Only $37!" You are paying for the privilege to be sold MORE stuff. The initial product DOES NOT MATTER. In fact, it's more than likely useless. You'll be told you need to spend hundreds of dollars more on additional products just to make the first one work.
This is where you enter into the sales funnel. With just a few clicks of a mouse, you can easily run up over a thousand dollars plus another $100 per month charge. I guess it IS possible to make money with just the click of a button. The only problem is, you're not the one making it as someone is profiting OFF OF YOU.
This is, unfortunately, just the start. You may try and use the program, but within a few months time, you'll be back at square one and Mr. Guru who agreed to help you solve all your financial woes will be back with ANOTHER funnel for you to buy into. "Oh and hey, while you're at it, check out this program by my friend which will also change your life! It's only $37!"
And the cycle will repeat itself until you've spent thousands and having nothing to show for it.
If you're reading this then you're already in the right place. There are no upsells here, no JV offers, no joint promotions, no ridiculously long sales funnels to suck as much money out of you. You get quality training here that will teach you how to do Internet Marketing RIGHT and that comes with support from both Kyle & Carson and the community as a whole.
Stay safe out there guys.

Wow this is awesome.
So glad to be here and not out there. Thanks Steve and thanks to Kyle and Carson and the WAU members who help keep us newbies on the right track and away from the "gurus"
Point well made!
Those charts should be labeled:
"How to OBJECTIFY your customers".
In other words, treat them like an inanimate object that spits out money on demand. I suppose this is similar to an ATM, but you as the consumer become the ATM for these scuzzy sales processes.
Yes, this is the reality of the Internet marketing world and YES, this is what is being taught. Every person that buys into the idea of how this is done is then going to go on to become another person in the world of upselling, continuing an amplifying the trend.
It is posts like this that are going to wake people up to what is happening when they buy the $37 and often times $7 products. It has just begun at that point...
Hi Steve, This would hit home to me. I have spent $200 on a package, didn't really utilize because everytime I click there another fee.
Steve, you have provided some excellent information for all WA members. Especially those you have joined recently. This is an eye opener. That is why WA is the BEST in the business and you do not have to go anywhere else. Thank again for an excellent post.
Excellent post Steve. This is the reason why I'll NEVER promote another IM training product. Wealthy Affiliate is the only tool you'll need to get started online. No need to waste your money on other garage just because it's $37.
Save your money people. You're at the right place to make it online!

Damn, my eyes hurt after looking at these diagrams! No, well put though. WA is bang for the buck with none of those other distractions. Very useful post here, hope people take it seriously.
Thanks for sharing this! I am so glad to be in the right place for the right answers on how to start my career in internet marketing :)

I wrote a blog recently about some of the tactics these so called gurus use, but I love the way you have illustrated this. Quite frightening and if this doesn't put people off - I dont know what will.
