He's a self branding expert.

We are talking bad about him here because we can see through it, but there are thousands and thousands who follow and believe in him.

He's obviously a pretty good marketer, I had no idea who he was before reading this thread. Now his ads pop up every time I go to YouTube. Reminds me of Kim Kardashian in a way. Became known/somewhat famous for doing nothing.

Pretty impressive to do a long video with Mark Cuban though. Maybe he paid for his time, but would be alot!

Can anyone on this forum summarize in one sentence what Tai's value proposition is for his audience?

He was broke at 20, very rich by 35, and now teaches others the skills he's learned to achieve and maintain "health, wealth, love, and happiness".

He does tons of youtube videos and webinars for free that provide immense value as well as offering a $67 philosophy/lifestyle info product and three $997 business mentoring memberships if you want to dive deeper. He has consulting clients that pay him from $25k a year up to a full million as well as owning several successful internet companies and has a very powerful network in the business and entertainment communities.

It's strange all the hate that he gets from this board when he has achieved exactly what TMF encourages which should make him an ideal example to listen to. Maybe it's because he didn't come through here first before "making it".

I noticed this forum has a semblance of ethics attached. I like that about this forum.

Then why does he make it look like he owns a multimillion dollar home that he clearly leased for a day to make his most recent video?

I went to his seminar in April 2015. It was a full day seminar, i paid $200 + VIP guess which I thought was $100 extra ($300 total) , but it was $300 add-on for 1 hour pre-seminar session and front-line seats. $500 total.

In five words: it was not worth it.

Tai is cool guy, i liked his 67 steps (very repetitive, but good info), it started me seeking knowledge and information, as a result I am on this forum right now. Seminar was full of young kids. Median age I'd say 22-25. When he asked the audience who made annual gross over one million dollars only handful people raised their hands. It was the first seminar I left early. Tai was just talking and talking, no real info, just space fillers, lots of youtube videos. I just got tired of it. The seminar had lots of upsell. The guy next to me spent $1500 on seminar, he purchased lunch and dinner options.

I attended also his VIP live calls every tuesday for 2 months. It was long 2-3 hours talks discussing a book and later on selling his upper classes (around 10k).

I also noticed since May of this year his fastlaner super-growth. First, he got penthouse in Beverly Hills, then he is in the huge house with new supercars. This gets to the point most of his money he made this year on selling online content.

The guy is smart. He knows psychology really well. I study him, as he got impressive results this year. He also will be having seminar Dec 7-8, but I pass this time.

Hope it will be useful info for someone.

Guys, Tai Lopez isn't real - he's CGI. MJ created him as a part of subtle marketing campaign for FLF and TMF . Tim Ferriss picked up the job but because it took more than 4 hours to do, had the work outsourced and Tai was created by a visual effects freelancer. Duh.

I actually laughed out loud when I read this.

Agreed. He is 100% Fastlaner! Done it right. Very smart guy. I enjoy listening to him, though it takes knowledge on your end to identify correct info. This is true talent to speak a lot about matter and at the same time give almost no value :) I think 67 lessons were awesome I learned a lot.

He milks to the self-help junkies but at the infinite cost of making a joke of himself.

Thanks for the summary. That was exactly what I was looking for. Everyone has a story, I am glad you shared his.

I'd rather be a poor man with integrity than a snake oil salesman with a Scrooge McDuck vault full of gold coins.

What's he doing that's unethical or without integrity? Is he scamming people? Is he stealing? Is he selling an inferior product? Seems to me you're not the person he's aiming at.

The evidence suggests he is lying or severely exaggerating the truth.

I'm not following. Are you implying that because a big company did it, it's OK?

VW is facing a huge lashback from their dishonesty.

I guess it's OK to lie, so long as you don't get caught, right? /sarcasm

No...just saying these days, I see businesses doing shady stuff more as a rule than an exception.

Tia is doing what he wants to do, how he wants to do it and whom he wants to market it to... and is clearly successful how he is doing it. I wouldn't worry about the guy and focus on your own paths.
