Can we really make money learning from the internet Gurus???

I am sure many of you watch YouTube and frequently have your favorite YouTube videos interrupted by YouTube Ads. Most of them are from so called Gurus asking you to attend their free seminar that can help you make money and get rich. Note that some of the Ads, which typically sounds too good to be true, are actually Scams! You can see one of them being exposed by Rishi a YouTuber below.

 

In a recent conversation with my friends, they were asking if we can really make money and get rich by learning from these internet Gurus and their courses.

My answer to them is always, go learn from their free resources first. They can be YouTube videos or blog posts which are available free. If you can make some money with their free resources, then consider going for their paid courses. The reason for this is simple.

Generally the success rate of these courses are extremely low because majority of the so called Gurus are more interested in selling you their courses rather than actually helping you. Also majority of the students are more interested in being handed the success rather than putting in the effort and working hard for it themselves and you see them jumping from courses to courses searching for that secret formula that can help them make money. When you pair these two up, successes are few and far between.

So by learning from their free resources and applying them to make some real money proves 2 things.

One, you verified that the Gurus know what they are talking about and what they teaches actually works for you.

Two, you are willing to put in the effort to implement what you have learnt from them to actually earn some money.

Essentially, this ensure that you find the right Guru's courses that works for you and also know that you are committed enough to work for it. This will greatly improve your probability of success. You might even earn enough from the free resources to fund the paid ones. The steps above does takes a bit more time but hey it does takes time and effort to be successful. Anyone telling you otherwise is just not being truthful with you.

To start you off, if you don't already know, let me share with you a "Crash course into Index Investing" by Budget babe. Its worth $49.90 but its FREE now with the promo code "2014". Note that I am just sharing what are some of the free resources available out there and not recommending any of her courses to you. YOU have to make that decision yourself after you see what her FREE blog posts and courses does for you.
