So you want to get into the wonderful world of ecommerce and or internet marketing.

I have signed up for a few "gurus" in the past who teach internet marketing.

Do you guys like any or some internet marketers or direct marketers??

I know they have made millions and made others millions but at what expense

the way i understand is they have a funnel system that ropes you in until
you've spent thousands.

do they really speed up the process or is there still that learning curve and
as RK says eye of the needle you must go through?

i agree that we all need mentors, but i remember a post MJ wrote on the
richdad forums about being guru'd.

for example, i got an email from a guy that is a succesfful internet marketer
who is selling his once 5K seminar for a dollar b/c someone ripped him off.
a ploy to get you into the funnel? i always feel an alterior motive b/c there
is no free lunch as they say.

just seeing others thoughts on this direction of marketing. are they providing
value and really helping others (of course peoples time is worth money)
or just roping you into something you don't really need?
