A marketer asked me if I could run ads to sell her course on how to become a millionaire through online marketing.
I told her the price would be $1 MILLION for my services.
She said that she could afford maybe $500 a month but could give me a rev share as she started to get traction.
There are scammers selling how to start a digital agency who have never done it before.
People selling courses on how to make 6 figures as a public speaker, but haven’t spoken on the big stages or been paid a keynote fee.
Moral of the story– anyone trying to sell you coaching on X, make sure they have done X themselves!
Have you seen an alarming uptick in this trend, too?
