  1. I finally got over the information overload because I stopped buying anything and instead decided to go back and give a great effort at following the programs (one at a time) I did buy an honest chance over the last year.

    Well, zilch. A few pennies here and there but nothing substantial. I’m not looking to be a millionaire, just making a decent living with online ventures.

    I look forward to your report to see if maybe this one will do something other than hype more useless information.

    Cheers.

  2. Hello Alex.

    Just watched your video and you asked for “my story”, so here it goes:

    I am 72 years old, a citizen of Denmark but living in the Philippines on my 28th year. I mostly always read your mails and, as a matter of fact, wanted to join your last coaching program, however, for lack of funds, I couldn’t. And, maybe you think I am too old to take on anyway and, perhaps you are right. I have been trying for a couple of years to make money ob the internet, but as I don’t have a credit card and limited resources, I have failed. I realize of course that without funds nothing is easy. Should your coaching program entail spending, I would have to back out even if you would consider coaching an “not so young but alert of mind” man. Thank for “listening” and I would still love to read your report, with which I wish you good luck.

  3. Hello Alex

    I need to escape this poverty trap I’ve gotten myself into and Internet Marketing is for sure the best way to do it. I have bought stuff which I couldn’t make work. I’ve tried stuff that lead me up blind alley’s. I really have tried and will continue to do so because its the only way.
    But it is frustrating readiing about all the success out there without managing to get a bite at it myself. I also know from your ex students reviews that you really do have a passion to help people like me. So yes please and as soon as possible my friend because were counting on you.

    best regards
    Shireen

  4. Hi Alex

    Anthony here from 2.1. And I’ve been looking forward to this latest report since you told us about it. You just keep right on reaching for that rarefied air – no stench of horse up there.
    Wherever you want to go with this, there’s plenty of us will stand alongside you, and I’m one of ‘em.

    Kind regards
    Anthony

    Hi Alex,thanks for the video.
    I have wasted a lot of money buying what the guru’s promote and was getting no where.I am sick and tired from all of their promises of making money.I never make any money.They made me broke.
    I hope I can trust you Alex.If you can show me how to make one dollar I be glad.The only thing I got
    was a lot of debts.
    Regards
    Thorbjorn Ljunglof

  6. Hi Alex,

    I have tried a few things but not been successful online.Looking forward to the Guru`s Nightmare

  7. hi alex quite simply put “WE NEEDYOU” we need your help !
    mike.

  8. Hi Alex,

    I’ve been a silent reader of your blog and found some success implementing what you’ve given away for free so far. Though where I am right now is quite far from where I’d like to be, I’d like to thank you for those insightful and inspirational infos you put out in your materials.

    Perhaps Gurus Nightmare is the answer to my next short term goal.

    Cheers.

  9. Hi- Alex
    Jacalyn here. Its good to hear from You Again.
    I have been very busy since the Las Vegas Workshop.
    Trying to Implement the Ideas from all the Information we received.
    You certainly made a great effort to help those that attended.
    I also have brought a lot of products from others and do not understand how to use it.
    I am now focusing on one site and now will be able to finally make my first dollar.
    Looking forward to the report.
    Jacalyn.

  10. Hi Alex,

    Been there, done it, got the tee shirt but no money following these gurus.

    Looking forward to something completely different so bring it on Alex.

    Jim

  11. I believe my biggest problem is getting focus and creating a step by step plan or blueprint. as a side note thank you Alex for all the info

  12. Hi Alex, as always I read with interst your publications,and I cannot help but notice the amount of despondent people who leave comments about your posts. There stories are so familiar, been there done that, bought every money making program there is to buy, but the great money trains wait for no one and there speed is relentless. Notice I say trains and not train because there are many to choose from,some good some bad.
    You are either on them or your not,and for most they are not.
    The point I endever to make here is, do your homework and see who’s promoting which product and
    what backup and promotional material they offer if any, then stick with it.

    Best Regards
    John.

  13. Hey Alex

    Being one of your original 500 students, I have to say how much your original course helped me take my business forward.

    I would have probably still been floundering around buying every new thing that came along.

    Like a lot of other people here, I’d been burnt and lost money with the B.S hype out there.

    It’s always a pleasure to read your reports and watch your videos as there are some real nuggets of information.

    At the end of the day it is down to the individual person though to take that information and go forward with it.

    Looking forward to the up and coming coaching mate and thanks very much for doing this.

    Best wishes

    Doug

  14. Hi Alex,

    i have been following you for some time, your articles are great and this last one even the best.

    Have a nice day

    Urpo Salonen

  15. Yes I would like to make a good living online. I look forward to hearing more.

  16. Hi Alex,
    I am one of your first 500 students. Thanks to you, I have come a bit along the road (have a look at my blog I just updated it with a summary of my last year), but long stretches still lay ahead of me and I will appreciate all the help you can give. Thank you Alex.

  17. Hi Alex

    As one of your students who has not made his fortune yet, I can’t with to see what you are now going to reveal to us.

    I have been wondering why some of the well known Gurus are not quitting the IM niche, what do they know that we don’t? And more important what are they not telling us?

    If you know and reveal that information in your latest report or during the free training it will be very useful to us all.

    I am waiting with baited breath to hear from you.

    Richard Moloney

  18. Hi Alex:

    I am also from your first coaching course. I was fairly distracted at the time as my mother was dying. The few sessions I attended were outstanding. Your material is very solid and I really look forward to your communications. You have my utmost confidence and respect. I know you always steer us in the right direction. I just need to sit down, take consistent action following your advice, and just buildup the momentum.

    It seems the common theme is information overload and bombardment by gurus. I an information junkie and just keep on buying stuff so that I have gigabytes and shelves of binders of guru products. What is it with all these gurus announcing retirement. If they’re not, I get dozens of calls a day from their trainers trying to sell me very expensive training programs. Maybe some of these are worth it, but somehow I fear its just additional ways to separate us from thousands that can be better spent. I ask these trainers a question; If your guru’s material is so damn good, why aren’t you spending all your time building your own business rather than working for the guru on a salary/commission basis.

    Thanks and Best Wishes

    Sinisa

  19. Hey Alex,

    You really are The Godfather of IM: – You made us all an “offer we can’t refuse” ;-)

    (love the “horses head” subtitle too)

    It’s funny, actually, The Godfather trilogy is one of the few times in cinema history where the sequels have been as good as (and possibly better) than the first film.

    Same with Guru’s Dream and Newbie’s Nightmare – they were EXCELLENT – so I know that the Guru’s Nightmare will be awesome stuff too.

    Personally, I haven’t been burnt too badly online; I’ve bought some of your products which I was very happy with and paid a very reasonable price for Dean Holland’s superb coaching.

    Yes, I’ve had sales calls from pushy call-centres and I’ve bought a few dodgy e-books (Rich Jerk, anyone?) but I’ve been pretty lucky on the whole.

    Even so, I’m happy to be a part of the growing movement in the IM world of openness, transparency, delivering value and NOT SCAMMING!

    Alex, you’ve always been at the forefront of that movement, and that’s why you deserve the success that you have achieved.

    Can’t wait to participate in your coaching – it’s going to ROCK :-)

    Peace and banoffee pie,

    Phil Ainsworth

  20. Hi Alex,

    That was an excellent video. I always enjoy your work. I love your “no b.s.” style and really admire the passion you have for helping others succeed. I’ve probably learned more from you for free than some of the bottom feeder guru’s I’ve spent good money on. I hope to meet you and take one of your training courses some day soon.

    I’ve experienced a ‘bleep’ load of setbacks, some of which I hope no one else has to endure. One example was a guru essentially told me I wasn’t going to make it in this business. All that does to someone like me is add even MORE fuel to the fire in the belly. Now I won’t give up until I take my last frickin breath for sure.

    My biggest issue right now is time. My lazy lemming mindset day job and commute eats up a ‘another bleep’ load of my precious time and energy. It’s tough to focus and produce with IM on limited sleep and time. Plus the stress from it all doesn’t help much either. Yes don’t get me wrong I’m grateful for the job I have in this economy but why be miserable when you don’t have to.

    It’s encouraging to read that some folks here are making something as opposed to my big nothing.

    Thank you Alex for your time and great work.
    Paul

  21. Hi Alex,
    I am looking for a GPS navigating system for the route to Internet Marketing Success.
    It looks like you have one available in my price range. :-)
    I need one that shows me how to get back on track after pulling off for a break.(Short term memory is shot)
    Still trying to find a route with exits, as I need frequent breaks… and forget where…

  22. Hey Alex! Count me in too :)

  23. Alex,

    Really looking forward to getting guidance from you.

  24. Hi Alex, I believe we’ve chatted before a few months back. You helped me out. Things have changed quite a bit since then and I’m now starting to FINALLY get a little traction for the first time in well over 2 years of trying to learn IM. I know have a business partner, we have a blog,(I linked to it)16 new, very highly targeted landing pages,a completely new, rewritten sales pages a small PPC campaign started, a list that has grown by almost 700 subscribers in the past few weeks, and we are starting to figure out how to see at least some sales of $30 ebook on the topic of Excel spreadsheets and “advanced user” centered info.

    The problem is…..we are both full time at this, 12-15hrs a day, 5-6 days a week….THIS IS WHAT THE GURUS DON’T TALK ABOUT!!!

    When you hear those occasional mentions of “having to roll up you sleeves and ACTUALLY do a little work”….Let me tell ya what home boyz…THEY ARE LEAVING A LOT OUT OF THE PICTURE.

    If you are very new to all this and are not already either tech saavy or in the position to pay for saavy….the learning curve is freak’n ginormous. There has been very very times I’ve seen much good solid true step by step training on how to go create landing pages the look great and have things exactly how you want them, including grafics. Or the info on WHEN to use which “styles and approaches” in which markets. When, where and for which markets do banner ads work best, what about “banner ads vs. image ads”, when and HOW to do best on the content network side of PPC, etc.

    THEY NEVER say much about how challenging it is and how much longer it WILL take you, when you really are starting out pretty broke, or you wind up broke from buying crap that does not work, and does not tell you the whole truth about just how much time, effort, focus, and personal energy can be involved.

    My new business partner (who lives in Ecuador- I’m in Oregon) and I are coming from this starting point of having almost $0 money to our names, bills we can’t pay etc. etc. We know that we have nowhere to go but up, and by refusing to give up no matter what, we are finally beginning to get SOME traction. But I will tell you, it has been a huge challenge and taken many many many hours of hard work.

  25. When Alex speaks, I listen!

    I want the report. I am fed up with the Gurus making all the money and clogging up the internet. I need the money to feed my family not just to buy a big house or a big car, though I wouldn’t mind those too.

    Glyn

  26. alex, you have never let me down. so i’m all in! let’s go find that poor horse and pick the guru’s lock. gimme the report…. and yes!!! i’m no longer a believer in guru doctrine/rubbish. I’m trying to keep my lights and on, i’m taking care of my elderly mom.

    chow for now

  27. Thanks, Alex, please send me your new free report. I look forward to getting your free coaching. Currently doing website reviews with a core group for others in our coaching program, and want to put your “plans into practice” ASAP.

    My motto: “Solutions for your Problems”.

    Have spent a lot of money on many guru’s programs, most too complicated to follow, little result. Or, “I will give your a free website”, only to learn I then have to buy domain names, hosting, advertising, and then get a clone site that thousands of others are promoting.

    On your video:
    good-establish pain, common problem, pics of eBooks?, offer solution free if I take a simple action
    annoying-too long to load, no pause button, mostly about you, not listing the benefits for prospect, vague and way too long.

    In information overload, tons of programs on my computer, most either too generic or complicated for me to use effectively. All with big promises.

    Same situation as Sinisa above. Need a no cost, low cost system that is simple and easy to use to put cash in my pocket. Need a step by step process, with PDF guides and videos.

    Thanks, Jay
    P.S. Have also given same response to calls offering “personal coaching programs” on the same product I bought. “If it’s so great, why should I have to pay thousands to tell me how to do it? Coach me, and I will agree to split earnings 50/50 as we go along.” “Oh, we don’t do that.” !!

  28. Hi Alex,
    I too am fed up with the hype from Gurus. I was recently taken for thousands of dollars by the so called Coaching Dream team of one of the top Gurus. Indeed I have been on the verge of giving up.But I am determined to find the way to succeed online. If you have the answer I would love to hear it.
    Regards,
    Rodney

  29. Hi Alex, i have missed your past 2 coaching programs, this sounds awesome, i thought i would tell you about myself, i am a middle manager for a well known retail company and i am one of the best performers in my region, however 60 hour weeks and being stuck on the motorway is not my idea of a life! i have spent thousands joining places such as polaris media group and Mynetbiz with the promise of full online mentoring, what a load of crap, as soon as they take your money you can never get hold of anyone or it takes you ages to get replies to emails, i am useless at anything to do with computers and even tuturials with user friendly how to videos seem difficult! Please say you can help.

    Steve

  30. Hi Alex,

    Great, punchy video as usual.

    Have to say I am ready to follow you on your “u-turn” and see where this leads to.
    I hope you upset some “gurus” – it is time somebody did!

    Dave

  31. Yo Alex,

    I’ve read lots of comments here.
    It appears that many people do feel “taken” and upset about the Guru’s.
    They have to blame someone for not succeeding.
    Now of course EVERY sales page tells us “It’s not your fault”.
    …Gee, let’s get on the prospects good side, (to drop their barriers) let THEM off the hook, show some empathy because they’re stuck AND – we’ll offer the solution.
    What a great formula.
    Huh?
    If I’m not succeeding online it’s cause I haven’t figured out what’s not working & made the change(s). This IS a business we’re building (as Filsaime always says), NOT a get rich overnight pyramid. I’m not going to blame guys who ARE successful at it. Even IF I believed they were on my side.
    Before the internet, did you fall for ALL the “make money from home” junk mail you got?
    This is just a “different & instant” delivery system, that’s all. There are lots of marketers who are rip off artists and lots who are wonderful & honest and sincerely want to help you have a better life.
    Let’s take some personal responsibility!
    I don’t blame Guru’s for all marketing each others products. There are lots of good products out there. You’re gonna hear from lots of people about the same things.
    It’s our job to not fall into that “shiny new object” category – have LACK of FOCUS, thinking OH, this way looks BETTER, makes more money and sounds EVEN easier! Hmmm, load up the hard drive w/more!
    It’s a job sorting through the 80 (or more) emails I get daily offering me the chance to break free and “Earn $30k or more” IN MY 1st MONTH – BUT if it sounds too good to be true…

    It’s time to go through the lists we’re on and find the people who “give value” and who don’t.
    If we’re NOT getting value from someone – GET OFF THE LIST! (I’m going through my 180+ now)
    I’m speaking from overwhelm and frustration myself as I’ve been doing affiliate marketing for a while and still have yet to make real money, but don’t blame others, I take responsibility for it.

    I also think there are different factors stopping us BUT we aren’t ALL missing the same ingredient. It could be the money (to buy THAT right missing piece), the fear, procrastination, not knowing what to promote or where to promote it, getting traffic once you’re up, a bad squeeze page or email series, and on and on…

    Sure, I’d love to find works for me that will get me into momentum and great earnings, so I’m open to hearing what you have to share.

    Bring it on –

  32. Thank you Alex ! I am ready !

  33. I look forward to seeing this through!

  34. Hi, Alex.
    I’m sorry to admit that I am one of your coaching students who hasn’t as yet been a success in online marketing. I was initially impressed with your honesty and willingness to help the little guy be successful, and it was for this reason that I paid the “upwards of $1000″ to join your coaching program.

    I have to say that I did learn a lot, from how to plan my time to the importance of having an attitude of being of help to others. I put up the list building website you gave us, and I paid someone to put my blog together. The main thing I learned from you was the importance of building a relationship with your clients. You stressed that over and over, and it’s the way I want to do business.

    What was missing for me, though, was the practical how to put tab A into slot B. I needed to be shown how to put all the pieces together, how to connect them. I need to know how to choose niches, find products to promote, build landing pages, get traffic to the landing pages, etc. I’ve been trying to get that kind of information from other experts in the marketplace in the hopes that I can connect the dots.

    I will take responsibility my failure to be where I had hoped to be by now, but I can tell you I am not afraid of hard work, I welcome direction and am I not afraid of being successful. I still trust that you are an honest man, and that maybe what you will share in the Gurus Nightmare will be of help to move me toward my goal.

    Thanks for feeling my pain. Hope you help me cut across the crap.

    Thanks

  36. Hi Alex

    i’m not considered a newbie in the sense that i do know how to put up products for sale or to promote products. but then i certainly am still struggling to make a consistent income from internet marketing.

    i am making so little it is barely enough to survive.

    totally appreciate your passion in helping and i look forward to hearing more from you.

    Cheers,

  37. Hi Alex,
    I am a VERY confused newbie who is still at the early learning stage trying to figure out how this internet marketing thing works. My head is jumbled up with various bits of information gathered all around but nothing makes sense.I don’t know where or how to start.
    I will definitely be interested in your report and teaching.
    Many thanks.

  38. Alex …

    I am so looking-forward to your The Guru’s Nightmare! It will be a Godsend !!!

    I have really, really absolutely needed to make money online and two years later I’ve invested so much money and have absolutely no clue of what’s up and what’s down. I’m going around in circles and am extremely frustrated but I still must make money online. I have no other choice.

    Thank-you so much being the man of tremendous character that you are !!!

  39. Looking forward to the coaching program and the report.

  40. Alex, I’m impressed with your passion and your sincerity. I have not yet read GURU’S DREAM & NEWBIE’S NIGHTMARE. I’d like to read all three of your reports. Would be much obliged if you would let me know how to get them. Thanks much! Gene

  41. I am ready pal….power to the small people!

    best regards

    Joe

  42. Hi Alex,

    As a former student, I would welcome your refresher course to hang in there.

    Can’t wait

    Colin

  43. Hi Alex

    I’m very interested in your report and coaching program.
    Best wishes
    CK

  44. Hi Alex,

    I must admit that I am confused about the best way forward after hearing from so many sources.

    Would appreciate your input very much.

    Best regards,

    Gina

  45. Very Interesting,

    I agree the guru’s dream and online community are becoming saturated with oversights and outrageous claims. It’s hard for the newbie to find information and systems that actually work.

    I am very interested in your new report. Love what you have done so far.

    Ben

  46. I’ve purchased many products from many “gurus”. Almost all of them tell me how easy it is to make money online. Foolish. The only thing that makes it easy is if you work hard…very hard.

    The hard work though can become simple if you can break down all the hard work into a much simpler step by step system.

    What the gurus don’t tell you is that systems change over time. This change means that the steps you need to take must change also. I guess that’s the nature of “improvement”.

    Joe

  47. hi alex I *need* your help!

    Please let me see what youve got

  48. Alex,
    Bravo my man, I can’t wait to read your report and take advantage of your coaching. I have spent a ton of money on different things from the so-called Gurus. You are a breath of fresh air and give me hope and optimism for my on-line success.
    Love your direct approach!

    Chow,
    Michael

  49. Awaiting enlightment!…….ron
