Guru Cruise Review: Scam or Legit?

Is Guru Cruise another hyped up income opportunity or is Guru Cruise a legitimate way to create income online.

I’ve received a few emails from marketers like Chris Campbell, Darren Gaudry (shocked about his involvement), and a couple other people. My video review pretty much covers everything you need to know about Guru Cruise.

My bottom line opinion… Guru Cruise is a hyped up income opportunity in which very few will succeed. It’s disappointing to see this launch because it represents - in my opinion - where the industry has gone.

It’s time to get back to the basics - which is developing STRONG marketing skills that leads to building quailty relationships with your prospects and database. The new era of business is upon us. I’m writing a report right now called Home Business 3.0. Make sure to subscribe to my newsletter above to find out what Home Business 3.0 is and how you can take advantage of technology, upfront commission, and long term residual income by following the next wave of internet trends…

===============================
Seth’s “take” on My Internet Business

My Internet Business has been brewing since the beginning of 2008 when rumors started to fly about Darren Gaudry and his team’s new company. Direct Sales businesses pop up routinely about every 2-3 months.
However there is typically only 1 that stands out for the year.

In 2000-2003 it was Coastal Vacations
In 2004 it was Liberty League
In 2005 it was Emerald Passport
In 2006 it was Prosperity Automated System (not good)
In 2007 it was Global Resorts Network and LifePath Unlimited…

I believe in 2008 the company most remembered will be:
My Internet Business

I’m currently NOT a member of this company, but from what I can see they do have some of the ingredients for a successful company and online business opportunity.

I’ll cover the essentials and then give you my opinion

================================
My Internet Business Product Review

At first I thought the product was going to be another common PLR (private label rights) re-brand. Some of the ebooks CAN be found for less than the suggested retail price, but the ebooks are not the same-ole’, same-ole’ that you would find with EDC Gold, Passport 2 Wealth, Roadmap to Riches, or even the Abunza.

There are over 50+ audio interviews with experts
like Brian Tracy, Robert Allen, T. Harv Eker, John Milton Fogg, Mark Victor
Hansen, Michael Losier and many more. These interviews are not sold anywhere
else… (at least not from what I’ve seen)

The physical product that My Internet Business
offers is a board game called NetMillionaire Training System - ( I’ve owned this
game LONG before My Internet Business).

Travel Club Product
It took some research to find out what the heck
the the Travel Club Product was all about. Here’s the scoop… Most likely these
are travel certificates that are similar and offered by Coastal Vacations,
Abunza, or Cruise to Cash. There are certain limitations and restrictions to
using these certificates. By the looks of it My Internet Business is only
working with a select few offers - probably to ensure it’s members a joyful
experience.

These certificates can be found online almost
anywhere HOWEVER it takes due diligence to find the one’s that are worth the
time to book the vacations. And it looks like Darren Gaudry and his team have
narrowed down the offers to only a few select trusted vacations.

The question still remains… Is there true VALUE in the My Internet Business product?
Well… Yes and No, It Depends, and Maybe… How’s that for an answer?!

The truth of the matter is that EVERYONE has different opinions. I could easily say that I can purchase all of these products (or similar one’s) separately for under $1,000. (and I probably could)

But how much TIME would it take me to find the right products that have good information, interview 50+ elite entrepreneurs (good luck), research the right travel club certificates (hoping to land a hassle free & decent deal), and put them together all in one place?

That’s what I look at.

So the value… It is STILL in the eye of the beholder.

================================
The Compensation Plan

The compensation plan is pretty straight forward. Anytime a sale is made, 2 people get paid. There are no passing up ANY sales commissions. Overrides are paid when your front line team members make
sales as well. THIS IS A MUST now-a-days. This ENSURES that your sponsor will be
around to help you out. Here’s a breakdown of the commission payouts and
overrides:
Bronze: $300 + $100 overrides
Silver: $700 + $150 overrides
Gold: $1500 + $300 overrides
Platinum $2000 + $500 overrides

================================
Marketing System

The only marketing system available right now is
username.myinternettour.com which is $59 per month. This is a “steal” compared
to other systems on the market going for $149 and $299 per month.

There maybe other systems coming that brand
various My Internet Business teams or people in the near future. It always
happens - which is good.

Although this system seems pretty complete with
the video tours by Darren Gaudry, the ad copy, presentations, movies, PLUS the
personal bio page - the only thing necessary to differentiate yourself might be
a new lead capture page with YOU on it.

================================
My final thought on My Internet Business

My Internet Business will probably be the direct
sales business opportunity to remember for 2008. It’s still to early to tell,
but I’ve seen enough companies come and go in the past 4 years to be able to
predict which one’s will HOP and which one’s will FLOP.

Darren Gaudry was the owner of Passport To
Wealth which has done very well. I believe that he and his team will take My
Internet Business to new heights.

This wouldn’t be a complete review without a few cons.

Well here they are:

• Product is not a consumable
• The complete product probably wouldn’t sell
  separately from the business opportunity. Especially not for $2995
• Most will never use the digital products or
  vacations

There is NO perfect business. Just about every company has some drawbacks to it. That’s just how it is…

Here’s what I like about My Internet Business:

• Well thought out system
• Compensation plan rewards team work
• Very little hype in the message, yet hard
  hitting ad copy
• Complete internet marketing training with videos and tutorials
• Optional Professional Business Assistant
• Low monthly cost for system ($59 per month)
   
• Multiple entry points. ($495 - $2995)

.If you like My Internet Business…
If you’ve finished your My Internet Business review and would like to sign up, I’d recommend signing up with (to be determined). Call me for a referral. I have not officially endorsed anyone - still doing my research. But I can lead you in the right direction (Call me, Seth at 425-271-3134)

=========================
Finally remember that:
Desire WITHOUT Discipline = Depression.

It doesn’t matter how good the system, product, company, or comp plan is… if you don’t do the work required to be successful - you won’t be successful!

Make a commitment to earning your first $5,000
online. Then and only then if you decide that “it’s not for you” - pursue other ventures. BUT make sure
that you give yourself some room to succeed! If you’ve read my story at SethDaley.com, you’ll know that I failed my way to success.

Craigslist Masters Review by an Insider at Craigslist Masters

Review of Erik Welker’s Craigslist Masters

********************************************
UPDATE ON CRAIGSLIST MASTERS.  Craigslist Masters is now
the Internet Dream Machine -  a business opportunity training site
and “complete living” community.

Craigslist as a marketing avenue has completely changed in the past few
months.  Classified ads are still profitable, yet extremely time consuming with
the new changes.  There may be better avenues such as social networking,
forum marketing, video marketing, ect.  If you are interested in finding out how
to drive traffic to your site, learn from the masters.

==========================
Quick Snap Shot of Craigslist Masters

Author: Erik Welker
Product Description: How to Post Ads on Craigslist
Affiliate Program? Yes
Price: $147 + $24.95 per month
Recommended? Yes - If posting on Craigslist

==========================
What Is Craigslist Masters?
CraigslistMasters.com is a complete training guide and ongoing training program to “mastering craigslist”. The training guide consists of 105 pages of step by step instructions on how to dominate Craigslist. It covers everything from setting up your gmail and craigslists accounts to hosting images and posting ads that “stick”. The training guide also consists of a few dozen videos which walk you through setting up each aspect of your posting campaign. The training guide itself is complete.

However, anyone who has posted ads on craigslist knows that CL changes - sometimes on a daily basis. That’s where the ongoing training program comes in. For $24.95 per month you have access to live training webinars several times per week. You’ll hear from Erik Welker, the owner and a few of his top performing craigslist advertisers several times per week to answer your questions and assist you on your craigslist success journey.

==========================
My Experience
2 years ago I personally had some decent success with Craigslist. More recently it’s been harder to post effectively due to some changes that Craigslist has gone through. I had stopped posting on Craigslist because of the time it took. There were other ways for me to generate traffic that wasn’t like pulling teeth.

But recently I was introduced to Craigslist Masters and am REALLY excited about Craigslist again. It’s always been a great place to generate leads and sales, and my postings have been MORE effective now using the Craigslist Masters method than in the past.

So, yes… Craigslist Masters is an ongoing training guide that I would highly recommend to anyone who is serious about posting on Craigslist.

==========================
A few UNTOLD items
Here are a few untold TRUTH’S about posting on craigslists. There are some initial costs upfront and one or two ongoing that will be crucial for you to be effective. These should not be overlooked when considering the $147 Craigslist Masters training guide.

To be effective you’ll need a few pieces of software.

• An auto poster ($97 - $399)
• DSL connection or Sprint wireless broadband card ($70 per month)
• Hosting Account $3.99 and up
• 5 - 10 domain names to start with ($50 - $100)

The startup costs will be a little high to start, but it sure beats the heck out of Adwords! ( I spent over $2500 in October)

===========================
Why I believe Craigslist Masters is probably one of the better Craigslist training courses right now.

1. Teaches you EXACTLY how to use Craigslist effectively.
2. The support is second to none. Multiple webinars per week.
3. Offers MULTIPLE (high converting) exclusive products to market on Craigslist (not biz ops, but actual products)
4. Opportunity to network with Community of entrepreneurs.
5. Offers turnkey solutions for you to generate leads quickly and inexpensively.

==========================
Why Craigslist Masters Will NOT Work For You
The truth is most who buy this training course will not put it to use. They’ll waste time and money fantasizing about posting on Craigslist, but never get serious. (that goes for any online venture)

There is thousands of dollars worth of value in the Craigslist Masters training guide, but only for the few who “take the bull by the horns” and make it happen. Your ads will not create themselves and post by magically. You’ll need to put some effort in learning the Erik Welker method to posting on Craigslist. That’s the ONLY reason why Craigslist Masters might not work for you.

=========================
My final thoughts
Erik Welker and the Craigslist Masters community will give you the keys to generate massive free leads and traffic for your business or products that you sell. You’ll be able to reach more people quickly at a price that is unbeatable. Adwords can cost thousands per month, Articles can take months to circulate, Blogs can take weeks to pop up on the SEO radar, and other web 2.0 properties takes the ability to write and communicate effectively.

Craigslist Masters is not for everyone, but those who have a drive to succeed - it will give you a hand up on your competition.

Big Ticket to Wealth Review | Gerald Van Yerxa’s Big Ticket To Wealth

==========================
Big Ticket To Wealth Quick SnapShot
Owner: Gerald Van Yerxa Entrepreneur (Owns Bed & Breakfast), Internet Marketer, & MLMer
Company Founded  - December 2007
Products: Resell Rights to Various E-Books, Software, and Flash Videos.
Marketing System:  Big Ticket To Wealth replicated website
(variations are available through several different teams within BTTW.)
Price Points:
National Product Member Pack $797
Executive Product Member Pack $1197
Presidential Product Member Pack $1997
Compensation Plan: 50/50 Split Commissions with your sponsor / down-line. Plus residual income on the monthly admin fee of every member on your direct team.

==========================
The Litmus Test
Is it a High Ticket Item? Yes
Is there a Powerful Marketing System in Place? Yes
Does the Product Have Value? Maybe => No

==========================
Summary of Big Ticket To Wealth

Big Ticket To Wealth Software Product $797 - $1997
Consists of Master Resell Rights on hundreds of ebooks, software products, and Flash Videos.  I was unable to find an example of the flash videos, but it seems as if the Flash Videos were the only “in house” produced  product.Â

Master Resell rights means that you can sell the product on it’s own and keep 100% of the commission.

** after a few searches on Google and Ebay - it seems as if I can find many of these products just about anywhere on the internet for a fraction of what BTTW is suggesting the resale price is. There are sites that sell HUNDREDS of software packages for a measly $19.97 - $47 — of course you won’t find the in-house flash videos yet…

(I think you’ll find this to be true with most of the direct sales companies selling software that isn’t produced in-house — the products can be purchase for a fraction of the cost.

==========================
Compensation Plan

The compensation plan is lucrative if you can get your team to duplicate.  $300 - $900 Commissions Plus Matching Commissions on all your direct team members sales of $300 - $900 again.

Attract a few sharp marketers and you could be sitting on top of a residual mid 5 figure monthly check.  The key word is Attract and could…

==========================
Marketing System

Currently there is only 1 marketing system for Big Ticket to Wealth and that is the bigtickettowealth.com replicated website. There are multiple lead capture pages made available through the company, plus depending on who you join you might be able to “swipe” their capture pages as well.

There are 5 Company Sponsored opportunity calls held Monday - Thursday and Saturday.  If you are interested in this opportunity I recommend getting your questions answered by attending this call.

Although the industry trend is “98% Automated” Big Ticket To Wealth does promote picking up the phone and connecting with people… it’s a good thing - but the system truthfully does about 10% of the work and you do 90%.

==========================
Seth’s take-away” for BigTicketToWealth

Gerald Van Yerxa (CEO & Founder) has done a tremendous job in orchestrating this launch.  I like how much information is on their websites.  For the analytical types you can do ALOT of due diligence on the site itself.

Gerald tells his own story and shares pictures on the site of his family and house — although it looks as if he’s bragging due to the large amount of pictures regarding his house & toys… (IMHO).

The system is “there”.  I like how the website is put together - actually while I was doing my due diligence I got “the bug” inside which started to trigger my emotional hot points.  If I were to join a “software” company I’d consider Big Ticket to Wealth or My Internet Business (for training & marketing systems)

==========================
But I’m NOT joining and here’s why:

1. The name doesn’t sit well with me… “Big Ticket To Weatlh?”… enough said.

2. If I joined every “good” opportunity that came along I’d be spinning my wheels rather than building an online business.
   Here’s the third reason and the one that counts:
   

3. Big Ticket To Wealth (IMHO - in my humble opinion) does not have substantial product value.

Yes there are hundreds of e-books and software downloads that could assist you in building your online business empire, but the truth is you’d be reading for a year straight before implementing those ideas… plus alot of the e-books are out dated.  One title was “SEO predictions for 2006 & beyond.
Alot of good that will do… it’s already 2008 and many tactics have changed as SEO changes quite frequently. (Especially with Web 2.0 Strategies)

=========================
Here’s my other quandary…

Big Ticket To Wealth is branding themselves as “The Internet Marketing System That Creates Millionaires.”

It’s a catchy headline, but can they deliver?  OBVIOUSLY Gerald Van Yerxa has done very well for himself as an entrepreneur in traditional business and mlm / direct sales.  I believe that he has OUTDONE all of the other companies in the “software” direct sales companies…  BUT
The example of 10 finding 10 is near impossible (i’m a pretty positive guy too).  Here’s why…

==========================
Pareto’s Principle
There is a gentleman by the name of of Vilfredo Pareto, an Italian economist (who was a smart guy) — after years of observation he came up with a principle called the 80/20 principle.  80% of an outcome is produced by 20% of the effort & the 20% of the effort represents 80% of the results.

Pareto’s principle is not fact, but I’d rather focus my own efforts and produce the 80% of my business rather than me “banking” on my team to duplicate. If you’ve been around in the industry “duplication” is the holy grail that every direct sales & mlm distributor seeks after.

Business Opportunities like these typically don’t duplicate long term.  I know it’s the cold hard truth — and this conversation probably deserves a long interactive discussion — so I’ll save it for later…

Why would Big Ticket To Wealth be any different?  Especially when it’s evolved out of the industry.

==========================
Here’s the bright side!

While doing my research I noticed that Gerald Van Yerxa has invested a TON of time, energy, and money into the training and marketing section.
Meaning… he wants YOU to make as much money as possible - for obvious reasons.  Gerald has done FAR more than other companies I’ve researched in the industry as far as marketing resources are concerned…

The key to success (if you choose to move forward) with Big Ticket To Wealth will be Attraction Marketing & Personal Branding.  There. I said it.

With that understood please educate yourself on personal branding and attraction marketing - probably the best place to start would be Mike Dillard’s Magnetic Sponsoring found here: Magnetic Sponsoring 7 day Video Bootcamp

==========================
Joining Big Ticket To Wealth?

As always I have scoured the internet and sprained my finger dialing the phone to connect with QUALITY mentors and trainer for you to partner with...  After all - the industry is all about MARKETING.

So if you would still like the opportunity to team up with Big Ticket To Wealth… I’d recommend contacting (no current recommendation - if you are in Big Ticket To Wealth and would like to be a referral - please contact me for an interview as I only recommend qualified mentors.)

==========================
Finally, as you pursue your online venture for the first time or this is your 13th go-around… Remember that Desire WITHOUT Discipline = Depression.

Make a commitment to earning your first $5,000 online.  Then and only then if you decide that “it’s not for you” - pursue other ventures.  BUT make sure that you give yourself some room to succeed!  If you’ve read my story at SethDaley.com, you’ll know that I failed my way to success.

Again, If you found this review helpful and would like a QUALITY referral to either ask additional questions or to sign up with Big Ticket To Wealth… Contact me and I’ll get you in contact with someone who WILL take care of you.

If you sign up, send me a copy of your receipt and I’ll email you a copy of my Automated Sales Secrets e-book ($57 Value) that shares with you 37 different ways to advertise your business WITHOUT talking to your friends and family, littering drop cards all over the city, or holding hokey hotel meetings…

Magnetic Sponsoring and Magnetic Sponsoring Book Summary

Quick Snap ShotAuthor: Mike Dillard
Product Description: How To Attract Endless Leads and Distributors
Affiliate Program? Yes, one of the highest back end conversions I’ve seen.
Price: $39 (free shipping in US)
Recommended? HIGHLY

What Is Magnetic Sponsoring?

Magnetic Sponsoring is a 59 page book (not an ebook) that outlines a powerful strategy to attract leads and distributors to you.  Mike Dillard wrote this book from his personal experience of years of failure.  Like so many super successful people, he didn’t give up until he mastered a certain set of skills and found what worked for him.

This book alone was responsible for OPENING MY MIND to realize that people don’t care about my company, my product, my compensation plan, or the fact that my company is debt free

I realized that they wanted 1 of 2 things

• A leader to show them HOW to get what they want or
• A system to use that they feel could benefit from

Isn’t that what we all want? Results?

The Magnetic Sponsoring book goes on to talk about several strategies to implement those 2 wants.

Here’s why I believe Magnetic Sponsoring is probably one of the greatest tools to existing network marketers available right now.

1. Gives you a reason to talk to other networkers
2. Book sales can help offset advertising costs.
3. Builds your rolodex of highly qualified leads.
4. Your network is now educated in the art of attraction marketing
5. Offers turnkey solution for you to generate leads immediately - even if you are brand new

Why Magnetic Sponsoring Will Not Work For You!

Magnetic Sponsoring will not work for everyone.  As much as I’m a HUGE fan of this material, it’s the truth.  This powerful book and free generic recruiting system will only be effective for people who follow it completely.  Reading the book more than once is highly recommended. There is a myth right now on the internet that is ruining peoples lives and careers.¦
It’s the myth that network marketing, an internet business, or home based businesses are super easy and you don’t have to work alot. If you believe this myth - Magnetic Sponsoring WILL NOT WORK FOR YOU!

Here’s my final thoughts on Magnetic Sponsoring

Mike Dillard and Magnetic Sponsoring opened my eyes to a whole new world and method of building a business.  It enabled me to stop dialing cold leads who really were not serious about starting a business. If you were like me and struggle to find quality people to contact or are struggling with many of the hyped of promises that are made… I’d highly encourage you read the Magnetic Sponsoring Book and become a member of a community of like minded people who “Get It”.
