Don Lapre

I recently purchased Don Lapre's course and I was not impressed. I felt that most of his information was very old and stale. His techniques, concepts, and methods might have worked back in the eighties, but I'm fairly confident they won't work these days.

At one time, Don Lapre was practically the king of info-mercials. For a long time he completely dominated the money-making-TV-commercial industry. And I think he's a great hustler. He knows how to push your hot buttons and get you to take your wallet out. He's an expert at getting you to pick up that phone and get you to place an order from him. But he's supposed to be teaching you how to do it and I don't think he's good at teaching anything.

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 sure he's made a fortune for himself.

But I also feel that even though he's good at promoting the name, Don Lapre, he's not so good at helping others make money like he says he is. I don't think he's ever going to tell you the truth about how he makes money. In my opinion, he doesn't want people like you and me to know his secrets.

The weird part is that in his info-mercials he has tons of testimonials from supposedly satisfied customers. I just don't believe a word of those people.

And of course, he says none of those people have been paid for their testimonials. 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.

In case you're not familiar with his offers, 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 Lapre's books or courses. I have bought more than 174 different courses from different internet experts, 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?" I even get people emailing me telling me they want to take him to court and they ask me if I'll help them build a case against him.

Yes, there's a lot better ways to make money than trying Don Lapre's old methods. 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
