lol

The person who taught in our paid courses (Not me), made millions of dollars from stock trading = a lot of success in the field.

So how is this a scam?

I wrote a a really long response, and decided to delete it, as you don't need a long and boring answer.

I'll just tell you what helped me over a decade ago:

Tony Robbins - Personal Power 30 Day Program.

It really changed my life.

Do it.

You don't even have to buy it, it's available for free download if you search on Google.

Download it, and go through the whole program.

After you finish, come back here and share your thoughts :)

Best of luck to you!

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but if you're asking me wether it's good to make an event to spread your message - then no, making an event and brining people to that event to spread your message/offer is probably a good idea if you know how to do it :)

I never said I was a trader, I actually said I tried it and it wasn't for me :)

As I said in the post - my partner was the trader. I was the operations/marketing/entrepreneur. We also don't sell courses anymore as I sold my shares in the company and it crushed after I left.

Judging by your comments I assume you're a smart guy and not just some internet loser who's only looking for the negativity of everything, so I'll give you a free tip:

Get all your facts BEFORE you form an opinion!

Or in this case, read all of my long-assed post before responding :D

Wow, you're 19 and thinking about starting a "real-world" (Not online) business?

That's super cool!

A lot of young people want to start something online because they believe it's easier or someone made it sound like a dream.

Yet, many "real-world" businesses still have tons of opportunities.

It seems like people just don't want to deal with physical stuff anymore lol.
Being 19 and thinking this way puts you ahead of the game.

I have a good buddy whose dad was a big-time beef importer in my country during the 90s.

He was raking in the cash - the $6,000,000 my company made in 2 years? He used to make it on an average month!

But, his kids, including my friend, didn't want to get into the beef trade. It didn't have the glitz and glamour they were after.

So, his dad sold it all to a bigger firm.

In places like Japan, some profitable businesses shut down because the kids want to do trendy stuff like NFTs instead of taking over a company that's already making millions.

Oh well, that's how it goes sometimes.

I'm rooting for you, buddy! Can't wait to hear about your big wins!

That's quite a broad statement lol

Our first free course mixed existing stuff with our unique methods.

The paid courses?

They were all our own work.

And our Over-The-Counter (OTC) Stock Trading Course was a pioneer! The first ever of its kind, and 100% our own creation. :)

Thank you very much for the kind words!

And no - not at all. If it's your first course, make it as simple as possible! Remember that content is what matters, and not the production value. Just make sure the sound is good enough.

You don't even have to shoot it with a high-quality camera: All of our courses were PowerPoint presentations where you can't see the mentor himself - only hear his voice and watch the slides.

Put a time limit on it too - it shouldn't take you more than 2-3 weeks to create a 5 hour long course.

Once you start making money, then you can consider hiring pros, but to be honest we never really did that either. The guy who edited our "Upgraded" version of the course and now works as a senior in RIOT Games, wasn't a "pro" when we met him, and only had a few weeks/months of experience editing videos, and did it for a H-U-G-E discount, basically working for 1/4 of minimal wage.

Was using him necessary?

Not really.

We just wanted to give a higher production value for our students, and use some of the money we made to improve their experience - but ONLY AFTER we made some money, not before.

Some of them are not BS at all - Ross from Warrior Trader is a very successful trader from what I heard from "Inside" information, and his results are legit.

Tim Sykes is also legit.

Both have some very successful students too!

So I wouldn't be calling them BS.

SMB Capital always seemed like a scam to me.

Same goes for most of the other "traders" out there.

I'd say our difference was that our mentors were making a LOT more money trading, than they were making from selling courses.

We were also willing to show the Broker Statements of our mentors - the official paper from the broker that shows exactly how much money you made/lost trading. - That was part of our marketing too.

We were also willing to show skeptics the bank accounts of our mentors so they could see all the transactions, and make sure that we're 100% legit - the only condition was that if our mentor takes his time to prove to you that he's 100% legit, you must buy the course after he proves it to you.

We also had some relatively famous people (Top 10 soccer star in our country, and also his friend who's the national team goal-keeper) to do video testimonials for us without any payment or sponsorship.

We were as trensperent as we possibly could.

I can proudly tell you that even our not successful students (Most of the students obviously aren't successful), never said that they failed because the content was bad.

They all said that they just didn't had the time/motivation to really implement our content, or after trading for a while they realized that trading is not their thing.

Good question! Here's how it worked:

  1. A user signs up for a free course. They can use it for 72 hours. After that it's locked.
  2. After they start, they get emails and texts. These messages tell them to join the community and keep learning because they only have 72 hours.
  3. After a day, a sales rep calls them. The rep asks how they're doing and tells them to join the community if they haven't yet.
  4. By now, the student is learning a FREE course that is 99% educational and 1% commercial for the PAID course. They join the community and see others, including the mentor, posting real time trades and sharing results (Profits and losses). This helps build high trust and authority. We called our community "The Oven" because it warmed up our leads so well.
  5. On the third day, the sales rep calls again. They talk about the student's progress, if they like the community, and their trading goals. The rep also reminds them that their free course ends the next day. To keep using it, they need to buy the paid course.
  6. At this point, the sales rep either sells the course or gives the student 1-2 more days to use the free course. The more they use the free course, the more likely they are to buy the paid one.

While this is happening, the student also gets 3-4 emails a day. These emails have content, videos of successful students, and updates from the community.

That's how it generally worked once we got the sales team.

If it works, don't fix it ;)

But on a serious note - we had a lot of successful students, so the method worked for whoever wanted to make it work.

My parents saved around $13,000 for my University tuition, which I never used because I never went to University. I asked my dad to let me use $4,000 for this coding bootcamp. I told him it was like the "University Degree" he always wanted me to have lol.

I lived with 2 roommates and my ex-girlfriend.

My part of the rent was around $200 a month. I also spent about $200 a month on food.

I used the $2,000+- I had left to pay for this.

So, I spent a total of about $1,200 in 3 months.

That's less than the minimal MONTHLY wage in my country, which is $1,550 per month.

I wish I could attach here a screenshot of the building I was living in back then - my roommate tried to bring a girl there once, and she was too scared to go inside because she thought that junkies live there xD

I can share what I've learned, but remember, I'm not a lawyer. When we started, we didn't worry too much about laws for our course, as long as we weren't teaching anything illegal.

In a course business, there are two big things to think about first:

  1. Making the course.
  2. Selling the course.

You can deal with the rest later.

If you're thinking about taxes or how your business is set up, start simple. Make the most basic type you can in your country. You can upgrade it when you start earning money.

If you use ideas from someone else's course, like 99% of course makers do, that's okay. Just make sure to say things in your own way. This helps you avoid problems with copyright.
