The Glenn Canady Gorilla Website Marketing Course Review

It was now the 16th March 2004. I’d sent my email complaining bitterly about AB Development and the failure of Glenn Canady’s Gorilla Website Marketing Course on the 9th March. I still hadn’t had a reply.

Obviously, I was getting more and more concerned. It really felt to me like they had just pocketed my money, given me eight 30-60 minute sessions on the phone and then left me high and dry. I hadn’t made a penny so far, and according to them I was supposed to have been earning money from my web site by the time my first credit card bill hit me, and my earnings would have paid off the full $8000 by within 6 months. In retrospect I realised that this was an impossibility. And now it seemed they weren’t even replying to my emails.

Out of the blue I got an email which seemed to be from Scott Dimmick. Scott was the guy who Advanced Business Development got to do the first 4 mentoring sessions, which were focused on building the web site (something I was already very capable of doing). I’d got on well with Scott and I was pretty shocked to read the email. It was sent to a big list of recipients. I assume these were all of Scott’s clients that he had worked with. I’m not posting the headers so as to spare the innocent from the spambots !

Here is the email I received :

Subject : weve all been scammed!!!!

we’ve all been scammed by the company’s that have been selling us
“products & services”….. they have sold us a bill of goods, taken us
to the cleaners and have hung us out to dry….. the salesmen are
liars. we must take action. if you feel like you have been lied to,
please file a complaint at www.ripoffreport.com or
www.badbusinessbureau.com……. the bbb will do nothing since these
companies pay to have a good record.

So here I was feeling that I’d been completely ripped off by AB Development and Glenn Canady. My emails expressing concern and demanding explanations were going unanswered and out of the blue I received this email purporting to be from Scott Dimmick, one of the mentors AB Developments assigned to me. From what I can recall, Scott was not an AB Development employee. I believe he had been drafted in by AB Development to assist with the mentoring. The email address on the email was definitely that of Scott’s from his other company.

As you can imagine, I was worried about AB Development, Glenn Canady, what was going on, whether I had been conned, and if I would EVER see the money they led to believe I was going to make. After that email my concerns were now going through the roof !

I’m going to try and get back on track with documenting my experiences of Glenn Canady’s Gorilla Website Marketing Course ! The last post about the course had taken me up to mid January 2004. My last session had been completed and I’d been left on my own to get on with it. I was already months into the whole thing, I was $8000 out of pocket, and there was no sign of ANY of the money I had been led to believe that I would be making.

My last session had taken me up to the point where I had to start emailing people and trying to get links. This was really the starting point of what passes as ‘marketing’ on Glenn Canady’s course. So it was clear that there was no way that I would be getting any money coming in in a hurry !

I set about getting my links. Money was extremely tight after Christmas (it was before Xmas, but it was worse now). I had taken a temporary job which I absolutely hated. They wanted me to work full time. I was the only guy they had that knew anything technical. I accepted the offer to work full time, but it wasn’t long before the the struggle of getting up at 5am to work on my links, then doing a full days work, then coming home and working on the linking until 11pm - midnight started to take it’s toll on me. Call me a wimp, but I was struggling. I had to make a decision. What was the most important thing to me.? I was commited to making this work. I’d invested the money (that we didn’t have) and I was feeling guilty that I wasn’t spending every minute working on my site. I wanted to make sure that we got the money back from this site as soon as possible, and I certainly didn’t want anyone suggesting that I wasn’t putting enough effort into it.

I made my decision. I switched to doing part time, which meant that I could spend the extra time working on getting the links to my site that I’d been led to believe were going to bring me success. While talk prior to sign up was all about how much I was likely to earn, and how successful my site was likely to be, little did I appreciate at that point that despite the grand claims made by Glenn Canady and AB Development regarding the sort of money this course was likely to earn me, they were about to change their tune in a big way
.

I should have posted this some time ago, but I was pretty busy and forgot all about it until today. Back in the middle of December I got yet another email from Glenn Canady (why does he keep sending me this stuff ?). This time it is all about a new book that he has coming out that ‘takes your efforts to the next level’.

And what level would that be Glenn ? Subterranean perhaps ? Straight down the toilet ? Glenn Canady, what you’ve done with your sites is an inspiration to us all. I’m sure anyone wanting to get their sites banned by Google will be waiting with baited breath for you to release your book.

Please note that I do not believe in editting any of the emails that I paste in this blog. However this email contained references to affiliate programs that would have benefitted Glenn Canady. The lines concerned have been removed, but had no relevance to the rest of the email.

Chris,

I just wanted to tell you that my latest book about

website marketing will be ready for release in January.

I’m very excited about this new material because it’s

going to be the foundation that takes your efforts to the

next level. You need to understand all the concepts in my

first book, “Gorilla Website Marketing” so make sure

you’re familiar with that. I’ll let you know just as soon

as it’s done!

Oh, and before I forget, I’m still looking for a couple of

people who want to work with me in January on building

multiple streams of income in my new Internet Entrepreneur

program. I’ve never before offered this program to

anybody so if you’re interested, please fill out this form

and my staff will call you to explain what we are doing

for select clients.

Just fill out the form here:
