There was a great website called bullshitbusinessadvice (since expired) which covered Sam Ovens a lot. I was curious after seeing his ads last year, and that site ripped him apart. The FB page still exists - I'll see if archive.org has it too:
Plenty of bullshit. Dude is a scam.
I'm still of the opinion that the best way to "get rich" is to work your way up. All the "trends" / "hacks" / "tricks" promulgated from time-to-time ("crypto", "SEO", "social", "dropshipping", "shopify", "ecommerce", "copywriting", "digital conqueror", "cloud", "cold showers") are shortcuts people latch on to. Consulting is another.
If you really want to get rich, read up on what's selling (or more particularly, what people are buying). Back pages of newspapers are a good source of "legit" information. Offer your own version by creating a SERVICE to help people with it (online or offline) (monetization can be through affiliate links to begin with) - if it doesn't work, focus on the next best seller etc etc etc. UpWork, Fiverr, Clickbank, Flippa & Amazon (JungleScout) etc are good for this. You'll eventually find your place if you take it seriously.
To "sell" (as mentioned previously in the thread) - focus on the provision of results. Never sell the "product", always focus on what it does, and how effective it is at doing it. The more potent your results, the less hype/bullshit you have to create. This is especially apparent in the software game, where most of the buyers are above average intelligence, many are socially awkward and there is MASSIVE reverence for "strategy" board games (for reasons that still evade me). Most of the best software guys I know would rather play 2 hrs of Dungeons + Dragons than go out with girls. They can smell BS 1000 miles away.

- Ever wondered what Sam Ovens is cooking? We did some investigation, and it smells like a scam.
