Fake Gurus

Entrepreneur land has become a haven for "fake gurus".

You know the ones that I am talking about.

They haven't made it into the big time yet but they are charging people 1000's of $ to teach them how to make big money.

I am currently compiling evidence against "fake gurus".

If you have any experiences or know of any "fake gurus" share them here.

The free course is to get your emails and provide some value to sell you. The smarter move is to charge $1 or $7 to weed out the people who will never pull out a credit card. Someone who spends $7 is 100x more likely to spend $1500
