Introduction
I’ve done the Glenn Canady Gorilla Website Marketing Course. To say that I have been left feeling conned would be putting it mildly. I’m not trying to put anyone off Glenn Canady’s course, or ABDevelopment (Advanced Business Development), the company that handled the training on Glenn’s behalf. I just want to provide you with sufficient information, based on my experiences, so that you can make your own decision as to whether you think it is going to benefit you.
What I want to do with this blog is to document how I got from buying Glenn Canady’s Gorrila Website Marketing ebook to being over $8000 poorer in just over 12 months. I want you to read about, what I believe to be, the wild and unrealistic claims that are made for the course, the sky’s-the-limit talk about the money you can make, what they lead you to believe you will get, and what I actually got.
I never delete my emails. I often get criticised for this, but sometimes it can come in handy. Wherever possible I will copy and paste the email correspondence between myself and Glenn’s people (ABDevelopment) so that you can read for yourself what is going on and the sort of timeframes involved.
I want you to see for yourself what was involved, find out what I did, what they did (and didn’t) do, and come to your own conclusion as to whether you think it is worth investing between $5000 and $8000 on this course. (Hint 1 - my answer is a resounding ‘NO’. Hint 2 - don’t be fooled by the word ‘investing’. That implies there may be some return on your money. There ‘might’ be, but for me there definitely was not).
You’re probably thinking to yourself that maybe I’m some ‘newbie’ to the internet ? Maybe I didn’t do the things they told me to do ? Maybe I didn’t work hard enough ?
Let me tell you a little bit about myself so that you can see for yourself that if anyone should benefit from a course like this then it should be a guy like me. I’ve got around 25 years experience of working in IT development on a range of products, languages, etc. I’ve done mainframe development, worked on mini’s, the first PC’s. I’ve developed BBS systems before the internet became mainstream and I’ve been using the internet from the days of the Mosaic browser. I bought my first domain name in something like 1996/97 and made money out of it.
My problem was that I’ve spent years working away from home and not had the opportunity to keep up with everything related to internet marketing. It was easy in the early days. You almost couldn’t go wrong. However, 2 or 3 years ago I set up a couple of sites and was getting nowhere. I felt I was missing something, a missing piece of the jigsaw. I started buying tons of internet marketing related ebooks trying to find out what that missing something was. One of those books was Glenn Canady’s Gorilla Website Marketing Course. This is where it started.
I’ve a lot to tell, and it’s going to take several days to get all this uploaded. I’ll be updating daily where possible, so please check back regularly.
Thanks
Chris
