The Dark Side of “Personal Coaching” Part 2

Luke

Okay, here’s the flip-side of the personal coaching issue…
If you’re a customer who is expecting to get "coaching" with the purchase of a $30 product, then you are out of your mind. Period.
Chances are that product was sold via an affiliate and the vendor is probably offering 75% commissions (at least in the IM world) [...]

The Dark Side of “Personal Coaching” Part 1

Luke

I’m seeing more and more "personal coaching" offers in the internet marketing arena and most of the deals I’m seeing are bad for both parties involved.
Most coaching offers I see are included with the purchase of some product where the seller is advertising coaching as a bonus with purchase of the main product. Sometimes this [...]

This Blog is Now “Dofollow”

Luke

I really believe that just blanketing sites with the "nofollow" tag is just pointless and really not the way the web should operate. Unfortunately, the Google gods really like nofollows everywhere and it can be used pretty easily to increase PR and otherwise alter (or hurt) rankings.
Well, if I mention you here or if you [...]

Use Your Friggin’ Brain!

Luke

I don’t know what else to title this thread.
I’m so tired of people selling crap.
But what bothers me more is that people keep buying the crap!
Hey, let’s think for a second. Imagine you had a "system" that would make you $100,000 any time you used it. Now, would you use that system and make thousands [...]

Secure Your Site - Now.

Luke

I tell you what, it’s amazing how badly "experts" hurt their chances of success by overlooking website basics.
I decided to check out the hype around dealdotcom. I admit, it’s a darn good idea and very close to one I had a couple of years ago- there’s a lesson on taking action there. As it goes, [...]

A New Plague…Sort of.

Luke

Ever since moving a decent distance away from the city I find myself traveling there less and less. It’s not that I hate the city, it’s just that most of my daily requirements can be met much more locally. So for the first time in a few months I found myself wandering the streets of [...]

Blogrush

Luke

So I don’t usually sign up for the latest internet marketing widget nor am I that "up" on the blogging scene but I did join Blogrush today. I thought the concept was truely a solid one and surprising to me…it was easy to sign up and the stupid code is not hanging up the loading [...]

You Are Awesome

Luke

I’ve been working on some new stuff so I really haven’t been working on this blog like I should. However, I wanted to pop in and say "thank you" for all the positive emails I receive on this site as well as the great comments you all post. I always love hearing from visitors.
Thanks again.
If [...]

Feedburner

Luke

I finally got around to installing a proper Feedburner setup and icon as you may have noticed on the right side of the page —->
I have like 4 subscribers since this morning so I guess that’s a good start. If you want to subscribe just give it a click.
Go ahead, click it now.
If you [...]

Internet Marketing is Dead? Hell No.

Luke

I made the below post on the Warrior Forum many months ago, it is so relevant and so timely that I’m posting it here for another read. Bottom line is- don’t believe the hype.
We’ve all seen it, read it and heard it.
IM is dead, Adsense is dead, Adwords is dead.
There’s no room for [...]
