Since the majority of us already read TFM I assume that you remember the part/chapter where MJ was talking about two types of people:
The one who're earning money by what they preach and people who earn money through their customers buying their "strategy to wealth"-product without applying it by their own.
So, recently I stumbled across this course on Udemy
Well, at first I thought it was a usual fitness course made by someone who would look like he's fit (at least in the eyes of the average Joe.
But nope, not even close.
I couldn't embed the picture so if you scroll down the lectures till the last one "My progress" you will see how this "personal trainer" looks like.
I'm not quite sure how to say this without starting a shitstorm but how can people be THIS confident to offer a program which should help others to build a solid pair of ABS and lose fat without even remotely looking like someone who's into fitness, let alone a "personal trainer".I can't even take people like this serious and I would truly consider them as scammers regarding their product.
This is like the equivalent of the late night tele-shopping channels where you will lose 20 pounds of PURE fat and gain a solid 10 pounds of muscles by drinking just one veggie-shake made by our new turbo-lender which is exactly the same as every other blender but the price is 5x as high! What you're waiting for?!?!one!1!
(From a marketing perspective point of view - no hate about those advertisements, they're truly on point)
So my main question is to you guys: Are you ok with selling courses/guides/programs to archive goal X without using it by yourself?
Or better said knowing that you probably don't have enough knowledge yet to preach it, but do it anyway?
Edit for some math:
Normal price: ~330$
(Selling strategy of udemy is to sell all courses for 90% less most of the time, so we'll asume that most of the purchases were made by the price of ~20$)
Students enrolled: 2054 x 20§ = 41.080$ (WORST CASE scenario)
The paycut differs between 25% for the instructor up to 85%, depends on how the customer got lead to the course (through Udemy paid Ads, referral links from the instructor, etc.)
So in the worst case, if every customer bought at the reduced price and the instructor "only" cashes in 25% of the sales, that would equal 10.270$ (till today).
