This Just Blew My Mind
Get this... Ya'll know Tai Lopez, right? (Obviously... 90% of you do 😉)
In his SMMA FB Group ALONE, NOT including all the people that DIDN'T get into the Facebook group, is 13,337 people.
If you subtract the 32 Admins and Moderators, that is 13,305 students...
Nearly ALL of them paid AT LEAST $997. Some paid $497 at the start, and some paid more than $997 on a payment plan.
BUT, let's average it out to $997/student.
That is roughly $13,265,085 that Tai Lopez made in late 2016-current, so a little over a year, and out of ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE...
The people who made the most money were the people who not only completed his course, but paid $997 for OTHER courses that helped them learn more in-depth skills such as outsourcing, Facebook Ads, Email Marketing, and Latest Tech/Services to Optimize Online Business Outreach.
Out of those 13,305 who paid about $997 to learn a skill to make $2,000-$10,000+/month, 99 out of 100 QUIT before making a single dollar, and for those who made money, they got ONE client, and then quit, or never learned to scale.
Out of 13,305 students from the Facebook Group alone, on how to market for local business on social media, I know of about 5 people who took it to a new level and are still doing it, and/or are successful with their business.
So what blew my mind, exactly?
Tai Lopez, love him or hate him, made nearly $13.3 MILLION dollars (granted, about half that went back into ad spend, roughly) off of people with a desire to "live the good life" but aren't willing to put in the work.
Now, that Facebook group is nearly completely dormant... Hardly any engagement, hardly any additional skills or knowledge being introduced by members, or anything.
If you aren't getting the idea here, you need to take a closer look at becoming a producer vs. a consumer.
You are all free-willed people who have good intentions for yourselves and families.
Don't be afraid to spend some money to learn some skills, but when you do, DO NOT QUIT! You only lose when you QUIT! If you invest $997, that's a good chunk of money!
SO GET IT BACK!
Use the knowledge! Use the community! Ask for help! Whatever it is you need, just do it, but for the love of your future, people, don't blow your money on some guru and then not do anything!
Love you guys. Now go build the life you want.
Focus on relationships and your Faith first, then figure out how to get into a better position in life.
