THE TRUTH ABOUT MOST "BUSINESSES" PROMOTED ON SOCIAL MEDIA

Anything considered a "hustle" and not necessarily a CENTS-based Fastlane

THIS SHOULD SERVE AS A WARNING TO ANY NEW USERS TO THE FORUM, ESPECIALLY YOUNGER USERS. HOWEVER, THIS IS (OR SHOULD BE) COMMON SENSE FOR ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN IN HERE A LONG TIME

GET RICH EASY IS MORE POPULAR THAN EVER BEFORE, AND IT IS PREYING ON THE YOUTH:

For anyone here who has been on social media at all within the past couple of years, I am sure you have seen guys like Iman Gadzhi, Andrew Tate, and Hamza. If not, you have probably seen posts about "escaping the matrix" and talking about money making methods like SMMA, dropshipping, crypto, etc..

These people are trying to target a very specific audience, which this forum is heavily populated with:

The young, ambitious, and lacking life experience kind.

And this is how they get you:

These people are excellent at marketing, and they often try to relate with you. Due to this, it makes it seem like they are like an older brother or a father to you. This helps build a sense of trust between you and the creator. After this, they promote a BS course (that is often times hundreds, if not thousands of dollars) that they claim will make you rich without a lot of work (relative to a normal job). The method they often promote to getting rich is a very low barrier of entry business that sometimes lacks the commandments of control or even time. They manage to sell this to you because they often promote it as the only way to get to that point, or they promote it as something that can get you very rich very quickly.

There is definitely a reason I have never seen any of these people promoting starting a CENTS business (or anything other than their get rich quick & easy schemes): they can't make money off of it, because the average buyer of these courses isn't willing to go through all of that, and they want a quick fix.

And this is what is usually inside the course:

A bunch of "mindset" stuff that will get you absolutely nowhere or knowledge that will help you out a tiny bit in a heavily oversaturated field that won't bring you anywhere near close enough to succeed in it.

These people almost never got rich off of what they promote:

They got rich from selling the overpriced courses, or from another source (like their family, in the form something like wealthy parents or an inheritance).

Do I think courses are bad?:

Not necessarily, as if you buy a course to learn a skill or something similar to that, they could be genuinely useful. However, if you do buy a course, make sure to get something that will actually get you somewhere, not some get-rich-quick-and-easy course from a guru.

Wow, thank you for the information! I almost purchased a course on how to sell courses to other course buyers!

Of course, I didn't buy the course now that I know the most likely course of action!

Pour tous ceux ici qui ont été sur les réseaux sociaux au cours des deux dernières années, je suis sûr que vous avez vu des gars comme Iman Gadzhi, Andrew Tate et Hamza. Sinon, vous avez probablement vu des articles sur "échapper à la matrice" et parler de méthodes pour gagner de l'argent comme le SMMA, le dropshipping, la crypto, etc.
Iman Gadzi, Sebastion Ghiorghiu et ces gars-là disent de la merde, mais Andrew Tate est un gars inspirant qui vous pousse à prendre le contrôle de votre vie et qui applique la philosophie du fatslane pour devenir riche. De plus, il propose une plateforme de formation, « The Real World », pour 50 $ par mois.

This thread isn't necessarily going to provide value for most who have been in entrepreneurship for a while, as they already know this.

However, a lot of newer forum users are younger and don't have the life experience to realize these guys are scammers, almost every entrepreneur (or aspiring entrepreneur) has (almost) fell for one of these scams before, so I am helping those guys to not fall for these.

If everyone knew about this, these gurus wouldn't be promoting these scams, as they wouldn't be profitable. But they clearly are, and many people have became very wealthy off of these scams.

Iman Gadzi, Sebastion Ghiorghiu and those those guys are talking shit, but Andrew Tate is an inspiring guy who pushes you to take control of your life and applied the fatslane philosophy to become rich. Plus, he offers a training platform, 'The Real World,' for $50 a month. I bought it to see, and it's not a scam; there is valuable content.
I don't think Andrew Tate's message is necessarily bad, as he is promoting men to improve his life. However, the way his products promote getting rich are not aligned with how he got rich, and he does this so he can sell his products to teenagers and young adults who want to get rich quick and easy.

How Tate got rich:

A camgirls site, his casinos, and his courses. He also did professional fighting.

How Tate's products promote getting rich:

Methods like dropshipping, copywriting, etc..

He doesn't even teach the methods himself, other guys in his discord do.

Je ne pense pas que le message d'Andrew Tate soit nécessairement mauvais, car il encourage les hommes à améliorer leur vie. Cependant, la manière dont ses produits favorisent l'enrichissement ne correspond pas à la façon dont il est devenu riche, et il le fait pour pouvoir vendre ses produits aux adolescents et aux jeunes adultes qui souhaitent devenir riches rapidement et facilement.

Comment Tate est devenue riche :

Un site de camgirls, ses casinos et ses cours. Il a également fait du combat professionnel.

Comment les produits de Tate favorisent l'enrichissement :

Des méthodes comme le dropshipping, la rédaction, etc.

Il n'enseigne même pas les méthodes lui-même, contrairement à d'autres gars de son discorde.
Yes, i totally agree, I'm going to send this thread to my friends so they can read it.

I didn't know how painful it was to read stuff in such large text. I feel like I'm reading the forum on my Mum's phone.

As others have said, this has been done to death. I covered it on the forum on my first anniversary, but I find that people need to get burnt to find out the stove is hot.

Completely agree.

These people sell knowledge that can be found on the internet for free.

They also overprice their courses to the thousands.

I've been on one of these courses once, and I regret it since that day.

There's no get rich quick easy.

get rich easy is only possible through stuff like the lottery or an inheritance - which the probability of happening is one in hundreds of millions for most people

get rich quick is possible - if you consider a few years quick, but it won't be easy at all

The internet, social media, YT, Tik Tok, Insta are all loaded and saturated with all these 'gurus' who eventually make money via selling us a course. It actually really really annoys me. Yes, the vast majority of them did not themselves become rich that way (and yes, the 1st million is the hardest, but from then on, that kick start makes things 'easier').

Tate certainly did get rich from his cam girl business, it took me a while before I eventually found his videos where he explained how he did it and he also in 1 particular vid explain that he did this business for a few years & made $4mil PER MONTH doing this, WTF right. That's exceptional F*ck you money right there. It makes his Hustlers Univ seem pointless.

If he wasn't using HU to sell a get rich easy program and was actually trying to teach people, why does it cost money, and better yet, why doesn't he promote the techniques that actually made him rich there: exactly, today's teenagers (who is audience mostly is, and Tate knows this) don't want to do that kind of thing. they want the easy road there that takes little to no work.

How do you actually know he was making 4 mil a month, how can you confirm he wasn't just lying about that? He had lied before, why wouldn't he do it again.
