Cheesy thread titles aside...

1. Do you think it's wise to make and sell a course for profit when you haven't gotten the exact results that you advertise?

2. Do you think there would be drawbacks in making such a course, even if you use an alias?


I have seen many people make all sorts of courses. And with the growing popularity of youtube channels exposing such ""charlatans," I wish to understand what separates a good course from one that it simply repackaged information from another guru. Or better understand when such a course is seen as predatory rather than helpful. Is it simply the ethics regarding the marketing/sales tactics? Or is it something else?

I appreciate the feedback and opinions of those that have made courses, those who have bought courses and everybody else that may have some unique take on this.
