    Who are the big internet marketing gurus ?

    The guys who train others on how to market on the net. For example I have been a big fan of Glazer-Kennedy , any others ?

    Beware of anyone calling themselves a guru or being referred to as one. Cuz most of the time they are anything but.

      most of them peddle shit that they rely on gullable people to buy, the information is often free or invalid.

      warriorforums is a very good example.

        all these gurus are just marketing fakes. they have spent thousands building huge mailing list and writing professional add copy to get people to buy their stuff. they pray on people who want the easy life and dont want to work for it. Nothing can be done for an hour a day at first.

          I wouldn't use the word 'Guru' but I'd certainly hit up Damian...

          He has some REALLY GOOD ideas...

            If you need to advertise yourself as a guru, you probably aren't one...

              Thanks man. Appreciate that.

              But heck, I'm no guru. I just help people come up with creative ideas to make more money online.

              If the OP is after real experts in online, I'd read Seth Godin's blog. He gets it.

                  Oldschool:

                  Dan Kennedy & Bill Glazer (you already mentioned them)
                  Jay Abraham
                  John Carlton
                  Gary Halbert (RIP)

                  Younger guys:

                  Frank Kern
                  Eben Pagan
                  Mike Filsaime (former used-car salesman, he'll spam you to death )
                  Jeff Johnson
                  Jeff Walker
                  Rich Scheffren

                  Probably a whole bunch more, both oldschool and younger ones I can't remember right off the bat. But many will just regurgitate what the above have to say, albeit with a twist on it.

                  If you want more pointers on whom to check out first and what to look for, feel free to hit me up on ICQ (1566665).

                    Seth Godin's primarily a theorist. Sure, he may have some real-world experience, but primarily from writing books. The guys I mentioned would wipe the floor with him any day of the week, when it comes to making money first-hand from marketing.

                            If you can find a million stupid people to buy something for a dollar. You are a guru.

                              What if you educated a million people on how not to get scamed for a dollar on the internet. Wouldnt that be the best dollar they ever spent?

                                    Selling something to stupid people is much easier than educating them.

                                          Just watch all episodes od"Mad Men", you'll get the general idea and be entertained at the same time.

                                              i think it depends what you are selling and who you want to sell it to.

                                              There is no easy "Read what this guy says and be an expert" solution.

                                                There are more people in the world spending money on learning Internet Marketing than making money from Internet Marketing.

                                                        Normally I would agree with you. But not in this case.

                                                        See, by the time it occured to Seth that there's such a thing as "permission marketing", people like Gary Halbert and Dan Kennedy had already been doing it practically for decades. Not only them, but others before them had been doing it for decades. AND it had already been written about countless times.

                                                        Then, one day (in our time) along comes Seth Godin and it FINALLY occurs to him: "Shit, if I got their permission to sell to them, I'd sell more! What a nifty concept!" But instead of actually trying it out, he decides to write a book about it and let the publisher market and sell it.

                                                          He's more of a media buyer these days, though.

                                                          There's a good chance he's behind a lot of the dieting/fitness ads you see on Facebook.

                                                            You mean someone who likes leaving money on the table?

                                                            What is your understanding of "spamming" your e-mail list? Sending mails daily, twice a week, weekly? What if the list you have actually WANTS your "spam"? If it really were "spam" then you'd see a shitload of people opting out. The REAL "gurus" split-test this continually, and come up with the most profitable balance between unsubscribing and sales volume.

What if the list you have actually WANTS your "spam"? If it really were "spam" then you'd see a shitload of people opting out. The REAL "gurus" split-test this continually, and come up with the most profitable balance between unsubscribing and sales volume.

                                                                                  You're apparently too retarded to understand this. Relying on media buying alone is a dangerous strategy. The traffic can dry up at any time, competitors can bid up the prices, the traffic can stop converting, you name it. Once any of these happen, you're up shit creek without a paddle. Having a solid list, on the other hand, allows you to keep selling even without an infusion of outside traffic.

                                                                                  Anyone doing media buys and NOT increasing their list (with or without selling something at the same time) is exposing themselves to more risk then necessary AND leaving long-term money on the table. Sure, you can argue some media buyers do really well, for the time being, and they need not build a list. But that doesn't negate the fact that they could be making much more, for a much longer time, if they were to keep building their list at the same time.

                                                                                    See, by the time it occured to Seth that there's such a thing as "permission marketing", people like Gary Halbert and Dan Kennedy had already been doing it practically for decades. Not only them, but others before them had been doing it for decades. AND it had already been written about countless times.

                                                                                    Then, one day (in our time) along comes Seth Godin and it FINALLY occurs to him: "Shit, if I got their permission to sell to them, I'd sell more! What a nifty concept!" But instead of actually trying it out, he decides to write a book about it and let the publisher market and sell it.
