List Building with Alex Jeffreys - is it any good

[zeemax]

Hi everyone,

Yesterday I got an email from someone I didn't know telling me about List Building With Alex Jeffreys - I looked at the site and it was a squeeze page tellign me some bullet points about list building? Has anyone heard of this guy and know if he's any good?

All comments greatly appreciated.

Best Regards

Hello there,

I would highly recommend Alex Jeffreys. He is a up and coming marketer, he is UK based, and he has really taken the marketing world by storm.

He started out in 2004, didn't do much for a while, then got his nose to the grindstone and just last year earned $100,000.

I have heard him speak at a seminar, and he was very good. He wrote Gurus Dream, which is a ebook that was not popular with some marketers because it exposed some of the hype around internet marketing.

Those were the two things that made me want him to be my mentor.

He is a decent guy and if you bought anything of his I am positive he would honour any guarantees made.

I don't really know what else you would want to know about him, and about his products, but please email me directly if I can be of any more help.

Best wishes,

Ruth

I'm afraid I've never heard of him, and I'm easily given the impression that his worth is being determined on a sole achievement of telling people he is good - rather than succeeding through other methods. $100k for marketing isn't a great deal, to be honest, either, especially if he's taken five years to do that - I managed that in my first year!

Added: Ah, Googled for him - he looks like he's just a get rich quick coach. These are ten a penny online, and their only product is being able to project themselves as an expert through doing nothing but projecting themselves as an expert - in order to sell goods that promote the idea that they are an expert!

[RuthStewart]

So, in Googling him, did you actually read anything he wrote?

As I said in my previous post, he didn't actually do anything at the beginning of his marketing career, and as for his earning for this year (without actually seeing his bank account) he says he earns in excess of $20,000 per month.

He is friends with Mike Filsaime and Rich Schefren - do you think they are "get rich quick" coaches also? They are also doing sessions as part of his mentoring plan.

It's interesting that you can judge someone without actually knowing what they do, just by Googling them and repeating what you have read others say about them.

Best wishes,

Ruth

Yep, I found lots of sales letters based around making money quickly, and to find out how, all you had to do was sign up and buy his coaching products.

It kind of gives the impression that the main income stream is via selling "coaching" material via "get rich quick" manuals, rather than from any real service or product.

Of course, if you feel there's something I should read then you are welcome to link to it - obviously I could misunderstand what Alex does and am happy to be corrected - but at present he seems to fall easily into the "get rich quick" crowd.

How much would you like for me to say I made last year?

[Brian Turner]

Well, if you were a marketing consultant, you should easily clear above $20,000 a month in revenues.

Here is some of Alex Jeffreys work, for the original poster (I don't have enough forum posts to be able to give the URLS, sorry) but he wrote:

easyprofitauctions.com
postlaunchprofits.com
postlaunchprofits.com/secrets
and
listbuildingbyaj.com

Incidentally, his style is conversational because he is dyslexic - very easy to pick holes in his grammar and you may not like his style. But I personally think content is the important bit here.

Best wishes,

Hello Brian,

I notice that my previous post wasn't actually put up - that was the one with some details about where to read Alex Jeffreys work. So despite you saying you don't mind his links being up, well, that was obviously not true. Because if you didn't mind, then they would be up wouldn't they!

Must be nice to have a forum that can "prove" you right so easily!
