Don Lapre

I recently purchased Don Lapres course and I was not impressed. I felt he had no new ideas about marketing and that most of his information was very old and stale.

Another thing I didn't like about his course was the fact that he keeps trying to sell you a bunch more of his products inside his course.

As you probably already know, Don Lapre is practically the king of info-mercials. For a long time he completely dominated the money-making-TV-commercial industry. And he's good at what he does. If you've ever seen these info-mercials of his, then you know how easy he makes everything sound and how motivating he is. He has incredible on-screen appearance and charm. He really knows how to put plenty of hype and sizzle into his offers and I'm convinced he's made a fortune for himself.

But I also feel that even though he is probably one of the best marketers I have ever watched, I don't think he's ever going to tell you the truth about how he does it. In my opinion, he doesn't want people like you and me to know his secrets to his marketing magic.

The weird part is that in his info-mercials he has more satisfied customer testimonials than you can shake a stick at. And of course, he says none of them have been paid for their testimonial. But I just have a feeling that they are a lucky few people that got in on his stuff really early back when his stuff was new. And I think these people that claim to have made money by using his techniques probably had a natural gift at marketing already and maybe past marketing experience. All of his students looked highly intelligent to me. They didn't look like just some average people off the streets.

I bought his course because I wanted to make money but I felt like his course was just a long sales letter trying to get me to buy much more expensive products.

I felt like I got ripped off because it seemed like what he sold me was an incredibly long sales letter.

To be fair I should tell you that there are a few good tips on making money within his course, but I still think you should get a lot more than a few good tips for that much money.

And he does actually have some good concepts for making money outlined in his books, but again, the concepts he talks about made a lot of money back in the late 80s and early 90s but are not making money for anyone I know now in the year 2008

Some of his famous concepts include placing hundreds or thousands of little classifed ads in small newspapers across the country, 900 numbers, reminder services, government auctions, etc. but again, these concepts used to work, but I don't see anyone making a dime with them anymore.

I don't recommend you buy any of Don Lapres books or courses. I have bought more than 174 different courses from different internet gurus, teachers, and expert marketers, and Don Lapres stuff was the least impressive to me

And you should understand, this is not just my opinion. I get calls all the time from my customers telling me "I bought Don Lapres course 6 months ago and I'm not making any money yet. What do you think I'm doing wrong?" By ordering almost every famous marketing course known to man, I feel like I have seen the very best information and the very worst information available. I have read some amazing information written by some incredible internet marketers. This knowledge that I have obtained from reading so many courses allows me to feel confident in rating the various systems, books, and courses I've purchased.

I give Don Lapres course a 3 on a scale from 1 to 10

Since I review business opportunities and internet gurus all day for a living, you can guess I know which ones work and which ones don't. Click here to see how I make my money.
