Upper Shelf Help? Some Gurus Don’t Get It

by Michael on December 12, 2010

What is the deal with “A” List Internet marketers who have forgotten where they came from?

I just saw another video by Tellman Knudson called the Rebel Resistance, where he supposedly had a friend who was in desperate straits and had to come up with 10 thousand dollars in 3 days or he would lose everything.

With Tellman’s help, they apparently accomplished it. Great! I congratulate them for the accomplishment. Its quite a feat. But….

Now he is offering a course showing how he did it, and marketing it to people in desperate straits. He talks about how he has made a promise that he would never turn away someone who needed help. Then he offers the course for 500 bucks that will supposedly help them. I clicked off the page and got hit with a down-sell offer to break it down into 3 payments of $167.

Lets look at this logically for a second. If you are in a desperate situation, $500 bucks is a lot of money, almost enough to pay rent for a month. And $167 isnt much less. That’s enough to keep groceries in your pantry for a couple of weeks.

Give me a break. Tellman has either forgotten where he came from or else he is a hypocrite, which is according to dictionary.com; is a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess, esp. a person whose actions belie stated beliefs. And according to his actions, ie charging 500 bucks or 3 payments of $167 for a product that is aimed at newbies in the guise of “helping desperate people.” Either way what he is doing is contemptible.

I have no problem with him making money from his hard work, and knowledge. But quit putting the help on the upper shelf where people who need it, can’t get to it. TELLMAN, If you really want to help people, then HELP THEM! Quit FLEECING THE NEWBIES.

Thank you for Reading,

P.S. If you really are desperate, try selling something on EBAY, that is one of the easiest ways I know to make a few extra dollars when you really need it. Just auction off some excess junk, de-clutter your life a bit and earn some extra cash.
