  1. I am very interested in checking out the Guru’s Nightmare. The ‘head in the bed’ phrase is a very nice touch.

    A practical suggestion I have for you is to make the “Leave a Reply” section which I am typing in right now to be more obvious to the user that might not be as savvy a social media(tor) as your average user. I am very new to social media interactions and it took me some clicking around to find this opportunity to leave a reply. Less determined people might retreat and miss out on your valuable information.

    If you have any suggestions for a clear and sequential introduction to actually using this new fangled concept of ‘Social Media’ I would love to know. I have Gary V’s “Crush It” and “Inbound Marketing” and both are excellent books but they do not crack the nut of a ‘soft landing’ to this ever changing new world that we are calling ‘Social Media’.

    This video that provoked my writing this commentary is one of the most excellent examples of Social Media. People love to express themselves once they get over the hump of inertia.

    All I am looking for is to avoid some of the larger obstacles to succeed very moderately in online marketing.

    Thanks very much,
    Jim Lee

  2. Hi Alex

    They say if you want something done ask a busy person – so that is why I am asking you.

    As you see my name is Sue McDonald and I live in Australia. I am at present doing the Newbie course with Mark Terrell who originally did the course with you a few years ago.

    It’s interesting learning and like everyone that starts these types of courses we all want to make money and have more time to ourselves. I hope you are making a great living and if you have time over the next few weeks and you could take a look at my blog and leave a comment, I would certainly appreciate it.

    Kindest regards

    Sue

    Alex,

    This is great knowing that someone cares about people like who wish they could crack the hipe that people tell us there way is the only way and just sell us hipe. Can’t wait to receive this. Bring it on.
    Thanks

    Duane

  4. I have not read your other reports – but would like to get started with this new material! I’ve received a lot of hype from other Guru’s – but would like to get some straight info!

    Thanks

  5. Hi Alex,

    Nice cover for your new free report – the mirror effect especially.

    Are you really going to do away with the gurus?

    I look forward to reading about the Gurus Nightmare.

    I like your honesty in your approach.

    It would be great if you actually replied to some of these comments to really show that you’re reading them.

    When is your new report coming out?

    I’d like to get it as soon as it does.

    Vance

  11. Hi Alex,

    So looking forward and can not wait for your new report to go live.

    Maybe its now time to slap the Guru’s sideways.

    Best regards,

    Paul D.

    P.S. Great Webinar the other night man, just love the way you give great content. If I can be 3 quarters as good as u online Alex, I will be over the moon.

  12. Hi Alex,

    This is exactly what I want to do with my business I wanted to learn how to make a living online and teach other people to do it so they did not have to weed through all the Guru crap out there. You are a breath of fresh air!

    Thanks,
    Chris

  13. I have been trying for 3 years, but the only thing that has worked for me is eBay It is so difficult to sort out the wheat from the Chaff, But having read Guru’s Nightmare today I know at least one genuine Marketer and a Brit at that !!! I will follow you now and perhaps I will get out of the finacial black hole that is my life at present. 3 cheers for good guys Hip Hip Hooray !

  14. Hey Alex

    I could have copy & paste from the above comments and yep am too one of those suckers with the credit cards on the other side of the screen. There lots of promises but all B.S. !
    I am interested in finding out more about how your 99% past students succeeded. Love to hear from you shortly. Cheers

  15. Alex – Jamie here from Bournemouth in Dorset, UK.

    The more I read through your blog posts the more I come to realise that despite my driving motivation and determination I am no different to every one else who has yet to make money online.

    So much so that I have now decided that despite spending years of my life learning and trying to implement what experienced marketers ( Okay the gurus! ) say to do, I have become more experienced at excepting failure than success.

    With out even realising it, I have alsmost allowed myself to believe that I will never make money on line – and that has not been through lack of trying.

    My attempts to become a success online have not been fueled by an immediate need for cash. I have a secure job. For me it goes far deeper. The need to work for myself, to provide for my family through my own achievments. The idea that my own motivation and drive could provide my family and I with a lifestyle I could only ever dream about.

    I have been trying to harness the power of the internet since 2000 and despite experiencing more failures than I care to remember, something still pushes me to keep trying and achieving ( sorry never have been very good at spelling! )

    So I wanted to write to you in the hope that if ever the situation arises, I would love to be considered for your coaching program as your words provide me with more clear motivation than spoken by any other marketer I have listened to before.

    I hope this email finds you and your family well
    …and if you are ever visiting dorset I would love to take you guys out for a meal on me!

    Macdonalds sounds okay! Thanks again Alex

    Kind regards Jamie Clark
    Frustrated Internet Marketer with an empty PalPal balance but full email inbox…time to unsubscribe and get serious!

  16. Alex it seems that we all have been tricked by theses guys and yes some gals to.Think god for you Alex even though you haven’t really help us yet I know you can and will. There is just something that just tells me that you are the real deal
    .And if you read this and respond to me,then you will be the first out of dozens I have ask for their help.
    I made a promise to you Alex and took it down in fear that it might come across to some readers as weird.So first I would like to run it buy you and see if you would except it.

    All I know is that I will give you %100 so you will not be wasting your time.

  17. Hi Alex,

    I have just watched the video above, read your new report and am about to read it for a second time. Wow man, this is powerful stuff. Your report is the best thing I have ever read !!! When I first read the report I could see so much of myself in it.

    Chasing the online dream, being marketed to, day in and day out, buying the next shiny ‘Push Button’ biz that hit my email inbox. To the extent (and I am very embarrassed to say this) that I very nearly lost my home because of this :-( . To be honest with you Alex I have been trying to start up an online busniess for some years now and have had only very very limited success.

    I now understand that you must market to your prospects and not sell to them. Plus you need to have a campaign set up before you even start to market to them. It is clear now that its not about selling its all about Marketing and building Relationships with your prospects and helping them as much as you can to succeed.

    With reference to my last post when you released your report, I would be very honered if you would mentor me Alex. I know that I have the drive, determination and the will power to succeed and become one of your next online success stories. Then in turn help other people to become sucessful online with honesty and integrity.

    Once again Alex, many, many thanks for your powerful content, YOU ROCK MAN !!!

    Besr regards,

    Paul D.

  18. You have beaten me to the punch here, I have been highly considering writing an e-book regarding the guru promises of the 40 acers and a mule belief.. I like your work methology

  19. Alex,

    Thanks for the video and the insight into the wool being pulled over so many people’s eyes. I am…scratch that…WAS one of those people…hopping on to every early bird guru list to pay out the nose what was coming out of their asses.

    Not that all of it was horse shit though…it just wasn’t the whole picture and what I needed to actually build a successful business. Plus the fact that after not seeing the microwave results as promised, I felt frustrated and looked for another silver bullet to relieve my anxiety of a growing credit card build and guilt of not taking consistent and persistent action.

    Looking forward to your straight up no horse shit mojo…

    Bring it on!
    Jeff

  20. I’ve just received the Gurus Nightmare and am about 25 pages into it. Thank you — I’ll be following your blog and anything else you offer — great stuff!!!

  21. Hello Alex :-) Firstly,A BIG GOD BLESS YOU!!!! for your wonderfull honest heart.I am allready touched by your honesty,and i have to say,the most honest person i have ever met online,period :-) To me (frustrated) is an understatement. Yes i have spent thousands of $$$ on the so called (fantastic next big thing that will transform your life and you will make a fortune in no time),he,he,not funny at all of course.I am shure you youself and many others have sat there spending hundreds of hours writing excitingly the information you just have to have ,by watching a video that will transform your life,and you will be financialy free for life.Boy,talk about writing,ever sat there with pen in hand,and you get cramp after writing for literally hours?It is us little guy’s with the best intensions that get sucked in every time,and us with the best intensions that get ripped off every time also. Trust me ALEX,this news will shock you.I LOST MY SON SAMUEL(SAMMY) ON THE 18TH OF JUNE 2006.SAMMY CAUGHT A VIRUS AT THE HOSPITAL AT AGE 2 YEARS,AND IT DESTROYED HIS LIFE.SAMMY NEVER WALKED OR TALKED AGAIN,SAMMY WOULD WAKE UP IN POOLS OF BLOOD,HAVE CONSTANT SIEZURES,TURN BLUE,WE,(ME AND MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE, KERRY ANN, WOULD LIVE AT THE HOSPITAL FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS!!! WE WOULD ONLY BE AT HOME FOR ONE OR TWO DAYS AT A TIME LITERALLY,BEFORE HAVING TO TRAMP THE CAR OF TO EMERGENCY AS USUAL. SAMMY WAS EXACTLY 2 MONTHS FROM TURNING 13 YEARS OLD WHEN(I AM CRYING WRITING THIS) WHEN SAMMY STARTED TO PASS AWAY(HATE THAT WORD) HERE AT HOME WITH US. I KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE (UNFORTUNATELY) TO HAVE YOUR SON PASS AWAY IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES. I wasn’t going to get into all of this,but i can only be honest,it is your honesty ALEX that has made me willing to share this with you. Well i have been on the intenet for 3 years now,and i have been seriously studying,and loosing my money for the past 8 months.and I have absolutely gotten no where!!! The world is full of evil people,and my first thoughts were that-the internet is the perfect place for crimanals.As there are so many crimanals in everyday life trying to rip us off,what a wonderfull tool the internet is for them.Anyway,i could go on forever on the rippoffs i have had,etc.. All i can say is,THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART ALEX,THAT YOU YOURSELF HAVE THE WONDERFULL HEART TO SHARE THE TRUTH WITH EVERYONE,I THANK YOU ,AND I MUST SAY,I LOVE YOU FOR THIS, GOD BLESS YOU ALEX,AND, THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,FROM SAMMY KERRY ANN AND MIKE(HEY THAT’S ME AT THE END,HE,HE:-)

  22. Hey Alex:
    This is one of the finest and honest assessments of the Guru situation. You say it as it is.
    If only ( how many times do we say that in our life?). If only I had had just a small portion of your information before starting out in IM, I would be much better off financially today. I made some, shall we say, bad decisions guided by gurus, but they were my decisions and mine only. Besides, Gurus Nightmare hadn’t been written :-).

    Thank you,Alex, for your wonderful report that will guide me for the rest of my journey through Internet Marketing Oh! my wife thanks you too :-).
    I wish you every success in your future endeavors

    PS: I would like to join one of your coaching programs, but let the younger ones do it.

    Hi Alex.

    How are you?

    I am writing to say-Finally. You are so so right.I have tons of material on my computer. How to do this and how to do that.

    I am doing a how to program on how to do affiliate marketing. Then I was going to learn how to build my own website.

    This morning I am listening to an internet guru video saying that affiliate marketing programs are not the way to go.

    Arggggh.

    Then last week. I signed up for two other sites. “Promote this and you will make money.” I had three domain names. When I transferred my domain names over to hostgator from go daddy. I open the sites. I now have two opt in sites. So now I have to go into my affiliate program to see how to set these up.

    I find this very frustratiing. I am trying so hard to stay focused on one thing at a time, and I am being sent all over.

    I would really like to see a program where everything is included but everything is done step by step videos showing you how)- whether you want to work in affiliate programs (which I think is great for getting your feet wet), and setting up a web site, and then how to promote your programs.

    Also, not have someone tell me that I can be making money in 24 hours. It is imposible since you have to wait 24 to 72 hours for your transfer from go daddy to hostgator to be effective.I hate being lied to.

    I truly believe people come into your life for a reason, some for a season, and some to hold your hand until you are able to walk alone.I am sincerly hoping you will hold my hand until I am able to walk alone.

    Thank you for being so caring, honest, thoughtful and compassionate.

    May love, health, wealth, happiness, and abundance stay with you and your family always.

    God bless you

  24. Hi Alex,

    I stumbled upon the IMReportCard.com site a couple of weeks ago and was delighted to see people’s reviews of “guru’s”. Now, I try not to get distracted by the overload of info and emails I get daily after looking at that site. If someone doesn’t have a good rating, I don’t read their stuff. Which is why I’m writing you. I looked you up on the site and everyone was giving wonderful reports about you.

    I have spent many thousands on IM and coaching courses for the past 3 yrs and and still feel like a beginner. One $5000 course I bought from a guru because he said the first “so many” he would email our offer to his list of 500,000. NOT! I am a 61 yr old non-techie woman who needs basic info on exactly how to make money on the internet, step by step. I need to learn in language a first grader would understand.

    I’m looking forward to any help you can offer.

    Blessings,

    Candy

  25. Hey Alex
    Thanks for the video.
    I just want a clear and solid step by step approach that will help me to get going and then expand with integrity.
    Looking forward to hearing more.

    Ian

  26. Interested to read your report after someone spoke highly of you and it over on my blog.

    Gary.

  27. Hi Alex,

    Frankly, I hadn’t hear of you before since I got today a mail with a link to your site.
    The video I listened to seems all about having success. It seems you have plenty success.
    I downloaded your report ‘Guru’s Nightmare’ and will read it asap.
    I don’t know what it is all about, but to my knowledge on Guru’s [I mean a real GURU] not
    Internet proclaimed Guru’s, they have a dreamless sleep, they do not have nightmare’s.
    So the title of your book seems a contradiction…………

    I once met such a real mind-blowing Guru, not an Internet Guru I suppose your book and
    you are talking about, a Real Guru is not one who wants to become……… but just IS.

    Well, its time to read your report I guess while drinking a beer……………..

    Talk soon, again..

  28. I am a teenager about to 18 in a few months. i was first introduced to internet marketing about a yr n some months ago. I have been sucked up in hype an have tried a couple differant ways to make money online. I have resently struggle in the last week to try to scrap up the money needed to join your coaching program this week and because you broke it up into payment (i had just enough in my bank account) i was able to get a spot in MWA 3.0. I pray that its as life changing as you say and before monday i plan on reading all three of your report in order this time lol to mentally prepare myself for yor teaching. To me i know my future is in internet marketing nothing else would be good enough for me and i have every intention of making it big online (im striving higher than Eban Pagen right now for my businesses) >=] im determined to make it. So in advance Thank you for being my first mentor Alex =]]] ILL WORK HARD!! =D

  29. Hi Alex

    Got interested in website building many years back but not much success as you can see from my website.

    After seeing your email on MWA Coaching 3, I am 100% sure your can lead me to my first success in IM. I have signed up for your MWA Coaching 3 program and look forward to it

  30. My husband was layed over in March of 2009 and we decided to use the internet to become independent and make some money. We signed up with StoresOnLine and they made it look really easy. As we found out, not so, it takes a lot of hard work which we are willing to do, but finding the best ways to do things is not easy and we have wasted money.

    We have signed up for your coaching course that you are now doing in hopes of learning your techniques to make money on the internet and apply them to our giftbasketventures sight.

    I have downloaded your report and we will read it.
    Thank you for all you are willing to do to help people become successful

    Thomasene Haynes

  31. Hi Alex,

    Wow! I really do love your honesty and you have mentioned so many things about all the hype that gurus put up to make you buy from them. I am just stopping by to say that I appreciate the message you have put across in this video.

    I have downloaded the report and I am really looking forward to it.

    I wish you all the best and have a great day.

    Dev

  32. Interested.

  33. Hey Alex,

    I have been online for two years. I have purchased two other coaching programs. I didn’t make any money from either program. I have a small list and I make 3 to 4 sales a week. I’m afraid to mail my list for fear my list will unsubscribing. Slick sales presentations leave me cold. I have spent thousands of dollars on useless products.

    But, I know I will be successful online. I will make a difference. I will create products that actually help people have better lives. I know this will happen.

    You see, I finally found a coaching program for me. I know how this coaching program will be a win win for anyone who decides to do the work. I believe in the law of attraction.

    I’m just happy to be apart of it.

    Your MWA 3.0 Student,
    Steven Keltsch

  34. My story ?

    Still a “work in progress” despite being 10 years in the preparation stage and picking up bits and pieces from the Guru”s and spending a fair bit of cash for the priviledge :-)

    I don’t blame the guru’s personally as they prsent the pitch and I bought into it … many times over so that’s my decision.

    What I am bored with now is the type of pitch that starts with an enticing offer ‘at only $xx and then when clicked out it comes back with another $10 off as a special offer … that tactic just now makes me mad as hell ! Even had one recently that kicked of at $67 and I just kept clicking out until it finally stopped at $17 !

    Then there’s the others that follow the upsell/downsell route after the sucker low price start and I f****ing hate those … they just leave you feeling cheated before you’ve even got to read what you paid for on the front end :-)

    Now there are certain guru emails I don’t even bother opening anymore because you just know what style and offer type is going to follow so something has gotta give ?

    Will be interesting to see what comes of your new report although not sure I’ll get it as I clicked on the ‘Newbies Nightmare download free report’ link I found and just got a ‘sorry sold out page’ … what’s all that about Alex ?

    Gary

  35. Greetings from Southern California. Hello Mr. Jeffreys. I found you on the Internet
    through one of your students, actually 2. Call that luck. Destiny. Whatever, I’m glad
    I ran into you. I’m a ‘newbie’ in the internet marketing. I’ve been reading up a number
    stuff, including buying/subscribing systems from the so called gurus. To say the least,
    the whole learning process has been overwhelming. Confusing, not knowing which one works and so on. And expensive too. I look forward to following your lead. And your
    system. Thanking you in advance.

  36. Hi Alex,
    I’ve seen you on some of Lee Mcintyre videos and you come across really down to earth. Matt Wolfe also recommended you and he’s another big fan.
    I’d love to hear what you have to say. I’m just plugging away.
    Cheers, all the best Steve

  37. Awesome info!… I’m now at the stage to make a free report, it’s the future to building an e-mail list…

    Top coaching Alex!…

    :]

  38. Hi Alex,

    Great to know about this from Anna Haller. I’ve recently checked on her blog and found it interesting as she also talks about how you teaches people in the course. I’m a full-time virtual assistant at the moment and hopefully will build my own outsourcing business in the near future.

    I look forward to getting the free copy as well. :)

    Thanks a lot!

    Joanna
    Thanks!

  39. Hi Alex, u r amazing, send me ur free report.

  40. Alex,

    My wife and I are just getting started on the internet, we have a couple of sites but are having trouble making cash from them. As a newbie there is so much stuff out there and everyone wants your money, but what are we realy getting in return???? We look forward to any help that you give us in becoming successful on the internet.

    Matt

  41. I look forward to your live coaching. i been following for a while and trust you. Your ideas are head and shoulders over others.

    Thanks

    jerry

  42. Alex,

    I would be very interested in hearing / seeing what you have to say. I have also gotten pretty tired of watching promotional videos for 1-1.5 hours each time, only to have them end before actually showing what they promised, and of course the end is a big sales pitch for another very expensive report or product.

    So you have my attention. I want to see what this is all about, and learn how it might be applicable to me.

    Thanks.

    Lonny

  43. Hi
    I just randomly came across an old tweet of yours, and it happens to be at the right time. I’m just now building an internet presence for my business. Also, I started writing my first book this month, and I want to hit IM really hard for my book. Please send me a copy and coach me. I can’t wait to learn something from you because your marketing style is super hot. You have a nice following, I read 60% of the responses before mine. Have you ever done the Landmark Forum?
    Excited to learn more about you and your coaching
    Ginger

  44. Wonderful Alex! Keep it up!

  45. Hi Alex,

    Very interested in hearing from you I am a student of Mark Terrell’s and he has always a kind word about you and your teachings. I would love for you to stop by my blog and see the progress I have made in learning from Mark and for you to comment..

  46. I heard about you from Matt Wolfe, I was attracted to him because he is my resource to start my blog, when he said you were his mentor I had to check you out. I look forward to really knowing how to make money online… I’ve been cursed by the shiny objest syndrome.

    Charlie

  47. Alex, I like your approach to take on the BS coming from the “instant millionaires” guru’s and their ilk! I heard about you from Tyrone Shum- I learned a lot from him and based on that I decided to come and learn from his mentor/teacher. I’m tired of the corporate rat race and hope you’re the guy to lead me, and other newbies, out of the darkness and into the light of self-determination and online success.

    Would like to know how I can also get your Guru’s Dream and Guru’s Nightmare reports!

  48. Alex, sound refreshing, ethical coaching is what’s needed and appreciated. Yes the newbie’s and oldies both are worn out by their misdirection and hype. Do this do that .No he’s wrong I’m right .Who is right I don’t know any more?
    You see the fancy GURU’s new cars in the middle of the sale page, well I’m not going to tell you I bought those cars for them with my purchases but I did buy the high dollar tires. And I did not even get to ride. I help with their trip to the beach also. GuuuRuuu- is this the slow ones that did not make it across the road.

  49. Hi, Alex
    I cant wait .Thanks for the new video and information. Wonderful Alex! Keep it up!
    Always looking forward to what you send.I look forward to your live coaching

    Zora

  50. Love the approach.. looking forward to it.. I have gone into internet marketing the same way I’ve approached old school marketing. so look forward to this report
