    # 詐騙還是真貨?我對賣線上課程的看法 | 超過200萬訂閱者的詐騙大師 ###### tags: `blog` 在現在美國lockdown平淡的生活之中,我開始在思索未來我想要怎麼一邊工作,一邊用youtube分享我的專業知識,並打造自己的個人品牌,這是現在最能激起我熱情的一件事。在前幾天的時候在youtube偶然看到一些揭發fake gurus(簡單來說就是自稱大師並靠賣課程賺錢)的影片。這些人的特性就是: 1. 課程內容空虛,沒有實際操作的actionable advice。他們在賣的是夢想,不是知識 2. 沒有自己真的在某個領域成功過,就直接出來教人 3. 營造假的形象,比如說租跑車來拍影片,宣稱是自己的 4. 宣傳課程時,宣稱可以達到不切實際的目標 5. 在網路上移除跟自己有關的負面內容 6. 宣稱自己有很多公司與事業,課程內容也是教怎麼經營事業,其實根本沒有任何事業(也永遠不會公開自己的事業),主要收入來源是賣課 畢竟自己以後也想要有自己的線上事業,自己也有一些喜歡的coach也在賣課程,這些人讓我開始思索,這些我follow的人,甚至是未來的我,跟這些騙子有什麼不同?難道我們都是一樣的嗎? 除此之外,我也很驚訝,他們做著如此猖狂的行為,居然能夠逍遙法外,這讓我的心情有點複雜。雖然最後有達到一個自己的結論,不過一想到線上課程這個產業說不定假貨比真貨還多,就讓我有點沮喪,畢竟是自己也想進入的領域。 ## 案例 大家應該都喜歡八卦,所以先來看看一些案例吧 ### Dan Lok [Dan Lok is a scam?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKk8fWgb5sI) [Dan Lok is NOT who he claims to be (the TRUTH will shock you)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaeVYeFLCFM) [Authentic or Charlatan: Dan Lok | Exposing Internet Marketers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSSTKmv6YPA) Dan Lok是非常有名的教人行銷的fake guru,雖然我沒有follow過他,但我之前並沒有懷疑過他,畢竟沒follow就不會特別研究。但是發現他的經歷多半是捏造的還是讓我有點震驚,這樣的人居然可以有2百萬的訂閱。 我稍微概括上面影片所說的內容 #### 不一致 Dan Lok 2016年時曾說,賣課程的人很多都是假的,因此自己不會賣課程,如今看得出來他的收入來源主要都是賣課程 #### 沒有實際經驗的證明 他宣稱自己靠copywriting賺到數百萬美金,卻沒有任何證明。實際上看起來,他在開始經營社群媒體跟線上課程之前,沒有任何公開的經歷。他的linkedin也沒有任何透明的資料 #### 假影片嫌疑 影片中跟客戶講電話的片段,有不自然的剪接,並且故意讓攝影師跑到他旁邊拍攝,以增加真實感,實際上整個影片內容大概是計畫好的 #### 影片直接複製別人的(包含標題) 很多影片都是直接完整複製別人的內容,連標題都不改 #### 課程內容空洞 上過他的課程的受訪者表示,課程過程中沒有練習任何cold calling(陌生開發客戶)。畢竟他沒有實際行銷的經驗,課程內容多半是直接從書中照抄的。上這個課程不如直接找一個sales的工作,從實戰中學習。 #### 吸錢的課程 據說上完第一個要價2500美元課程之後,他會像你推銷第二個可以加入他們inner circle的課程,並讓你產生加入了他就會僱用你的錯覺。當你加入後,他當然不會僱用你。整個課程幾乎都只有空洞洗腦內容。而且**課程不給退費** ### Ricky Gutierrez https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-czTWrAh2U ![](https://i.imgur.com/hIGGf00.png) Ricky是一個在賣day trading(股票交易)課程的人。我很久之前也看過他的影片,不過沒有真的開始day trading,我當時只覺得現實不可能這麼美好,要靠交易賺錢一定要投入非常多時間學習,而我沒那麼多時間,所以我就乖乖的用被動投資的方式就好。 總之,他宣稱可以**穩定的每天賺1%**,但看起來真實的情況是他的主要收入來源是賣課程。 而他讓觀眾以為他每天都有賺錢的方式是:他有很多不同的模擬交易帳戶,每個帳戶可能交易不同的東西,結果當然就會有賺錢的帳戶跟賠錢的帳戶,當然他只會給觀眾看有賺錢的帳號。 ### Project Life Mastery https://youtu.be/MIU1ctw__Qc project life mastery是我曾經訂閱過一小段時間的頻道。不過沒什麼內容的人我似乎都會自然過濾掉,後來也沒繼續看他的內容。 他賣的課程的內容主要包含聯盟行銷,kindle寫書賣書等等。當然也是**沒有公開任何他自己賣的書跟怎麼做聯盟行銷**的。從影片中可以看到他過去曾經自稱是醫療學者,寫宣稱可以治療逃尿病,水痘等等的書。這些書還不是他自己寫的,而是外包給別人寫的。總之不乏各種惡劣行徑。甚至有人在他的youtube影片下面留言他過去的筆名,也被刪除了。 ## 詐騙的警訊 其實這些詐騙的特性都是利用人的貪婪跟脆弱的心裡。這裡提供幾個red flag參考,如果在挑選課程,一定要注意這些 - 沒有實際經驗支持理論,只會講空話(這點最重要)比如說教你怎麼聯盟行銷,卻沒公開他自己的網站,或者教你把妹,卻沒實戰影片 - 給你不切實際的目標與幻想 - 通常以賺錢,PUA為主,因為沒有錢跟性的人是非常desperate的,會很容易想找捷徑而受騙 - 移除負面評價 - 課程不給退費是一個重大警訊。如果對自己的課程有自信,通常都會給14天無條件退費的,我甚至看過60天無條件退費的課程。 ## 結論 最後說說我達到的結論,我覺得課程本質上跟書其實一樣。都只是一種傳遞資訊的媒介。但影片形式跟文章或是書籍不同的非常強大的力量就是,它可以對觀眾產生很強的信任感跟連結感。也因此導致很多人願意購買這樣的產品。而這個可以是負面影響也可以是正面影響。 舉個正面影響的例子,如果你去上一個你非常信任的教練的課,你就會100%相信他,並解確實執行他的指令,如果他的建議是真實的並有效,那你可以更快速的達到目標。反之,如果看一本書,你對這本書並沒有任何感情,因此裡面的知識你不一定會拿來付諸行動。 負面影響就是這讓洗腦變得非常容易,**一旦你開始相信某個人說的話,你就聽不進別人說的話了**,當你投入越多金錢跟時間進去,這個坑就越深,也越越爬出來。畢竟要說服自己過去投資的金錢跟時間全部都白費了。 線上課程本身我覺得是很好的形式,不但讓創作者可以獲利並有資源產生更多創作,也讓學生得到他們想得到的價值。甚至是我上面舉的這些騙子,都有學生從他們的課程得到有用的東西。 我最後只能說,我相信真實,我也不想挑戰真實,如果挑戰真實遲早會被反噬。未來如果我走上內容創作的道路,我也希望可以保持真實的一面,並提供我真正認為有價值的資訊。 你有曾經相信fake guru的經驗嗎?又或者是從不好的coach聽了非常多沒有用的建議?歡迎在下面留言分享。
