In the age of YouTube, selling information can be one of the most profitable things someone can EVER do. But there are a few distinctions between legitimate information and “Fake Gurus” - and it’s this. Enjoy! Add me on Instagram/Snapchat: GPStephan

“If you’re so good at something, why bother teaching people how to do it?” And as much as people don’t want to hear, the reality is that oftentimes - there’s more money in teaching than doing for the simple fact that teaching is widely scaleable. This isn’t a new, revolutionary concept by any means - this has been around forever. But is it reasonable to charge someone to learn something when most of what you need is pretty much available online for free? And I’ll openly admit, I was originally the type that fell into that category - I was, at first, vehemently against selling anything.
The distinction I wasn’t aware of before I started selling ANYTHING was that selling information didn’t need to be a win-lose transaction. It’s the misinterpretation that it’s okay if you provide as much free value as you can because that’s the right thing to do, but as soon as you begin making any money from it - it’s not okay, and it somehow it becomes a win-lose scenario where the customer loses at your gain. And while this CAN be true in some circumstances, often times the reality is much less black and white.
When you think of selling information in the terms of the customer getting more than what they paid for…when you place the CUSTOMER’S EXPERIENCE first as a priority, when you charge a reasonable price where the person paying gets MORE value than what what I get in return from them…the economies of scale means I can get a LOT of happy people paying small amounts, and the overall benefit to ME becomes larger at the same time - and it becomes a win-win scenario.
From what I’ve seen, the difference between “fly-by-night snake oil salesmen” and legitimately helpful programs is the customer experience. Is the business or program designed around the CUSTOMER’S EXPERIENCE FIRST, money second? Is it crafted so that customers get MORE than what they pay for? Is the business designed around being a quick money grab, or is the business designed around repeat, happy customers that keep coming back and referring more people over because THEY got more than they paid for? THAT is the right way to sell information.
But, just like ANY business, there will be unscrupulous people that understand this business model and exploit it for profit - and this is, I believe, the problem. It’s the people who carefully and falsely craft their image around what sells, then they pop up to immediately sell a program or course, regardless of whether or not they’re actually qualified. And it’s THIS that gives everyone else the negative connotation of being a “Scam” anytime they decide to sell information, whether or not it’s justified. And it’s unavoidable. You will always have people who purposely seek and target vulnerabilities for their own gain until the end of time. And this is what think we all need to acknowledge, and it’s THIS that makes people skeptical in the first place - not necessarily the sale of information itself.
So the next time you see someone pitching a product, or a coaching course, or you go through a sales funnel - oftentimes, it’s not a “scam.” And there’s nothing inherently wrong with the desire to monetize content. While there are plenty of unscrupulous people out there happy to take your money, the blunt reality is that’s just life.
in order to do well selling information LONG TERM, or selling anything for that matter, you really need to study what people NEED, what their PROBLEMS ARE, how you can SOLVE those problems…and think of what THEIR experience will be FIRST. After you’ve done ALL of that, and after you have a satisfied audience, can you even THINK about monetizing and RECEIVING in return. And that’s often the difference of those going into it purely to extract as much value as fast as possible at someone else’s loss, and those who profit from the scalability of win-win transactions.

Greg Secker Is Just Another Grifter
comment.
My man is there a bug in your room wyd with them hands
This is the exploitation of society Your intrinsically programmed to go consume in exchange for their own comfort an convenience its just about how well you package position funnel intrigue into a expanded fulfillment
Giving a comment for engagement
if you watch this while baked, you might get lost
This aged horribly
I come here from Coffeezilla's video, I do not know you. Therefore, I do not even know if your video is worth watching, or I should probably say listening because I'm playing tetris at the same time. And I'm also listening in 2x speed because no one speaks fast enough for me. You are wrong to assume I'm getting 0.25 cents of value, in fact, as stupid pedantic and counter-productive as this sounds, I would argue I'm getting negative value because I had my hopes up for another good youtuber but I felt let down. Now this sounds like I'm telling you you are making bad videos. That's not what I meant. I just mean the argument you made in the first half of the video is flawed at best. That being said, it is true that economies of scale work in your favour, with ads and sponsors, but there is no way you can charge everyone even the smallest amount of money, that's not how the game is played online. No matter how smart or great you are, before I watch you and invest some amount of time verifying your authority, for all intents and purposes, to me, you are on the same level as the fake gurus.
Exposing?? Lol, you host fake guru scammers on your channel all the time and vouch for them.
Anything
Didn’t Stephen have these fake gurus on his shows? Lol
Kevin David.
your title is a bit scummy. didnt "expose" anyone lol. good for clicks tho
CURSES! WILL FOREVER BE UPON YOUR HEADS AND YOUR VOICES FOREVER!
DEFILETH A MAN!
you sounds like other “setting false expectations guru” but what you saying is kinda convincing and genuine, that is weird
Screw fake gurus
Holy cow. A call with you is completely worth 250 USD. Although, I'm not in the real state industry. Well, at this point in 2022 you probably would ask much more.
Selling or even giving away information to people in order for them to follow it and make money if it works then that could off-set the economy. There are a finite of resources and a finite of manpower to create products and ship products and goods & services that if too many people followed the same plan and became rich and went out and purchased things and and services then it would cause an imbalance.
Imagine if a get rich quick or quicker scheme legit though it may be caught on like wildfire and so many people quit their low-income jobs or even mid-level jobs and quit service industry jobs and followed these kinds of methods and their co-workers saw their success and they too quit their jobs and so on then at some point no body is serving anyone or working long grueling hours at a warehouse or busting their backs at a factory, teaching ungrateful children whom are rude and nasty and having to buy their own supplies and more and more people from all walks of life quit and did variations of these activities then the same thing would happen if tons of counterfeit money flooded the market it would have a devastating impact on the economy!
Unless Elon Musk's humanoid robots took over these jobs and we were all given a Universal Basic Income of $5,000 a month then everything would go topsy turvy in short order!
Bottom line here is… GREED.
What's the best way to vet for legitimately useful sales courses
Great video and well thought message. It's very apparent you put a lot of time and energy to share from your heart. Ty 😎👍🏾
do a review on andrew tate hustlers university 2.0
I don't sell anything lol great video Graham
Anything
People are making videos about fake gurus to make money on YouTube
These guru videos pop up on YouTube interrupting other videos I’m enjoying which is rather annoying.
One day both a smart and a stupid get out of home. When they meet other, they do business.
Youtube, Instagram and now Tik Tok
"Those that can't do, teach."
And now exposing:
U GRAHAM.
Good vid
When I start my channel I will still not monetize it till I reach 1k views just to make sure I get people's attention first.
Graham is like Gold that we don't have to dig and find it.
