Dan lok and other Gurus what do you think on them?

[dhru9]

I see some gurus who sell onlnie courses are now have 60M dollar net worth. Such as Dan Lok.
Do you think that they give practical advice or they are scam?

I see thread on reddit that people mug him: Dan Lok - High income copywriter Course - worth the money?


However, In instagram Dan Lok has over 1.8M followers.

Let me know your opinions.

Please move to the right sub if necessary.

Dan Lok is a scam.Check out Youtube channels like Coffeezilla and Mike Winnet,who are exposing Dan Lok.
The fact that someone has 1.8 million followers on Instagram doesn't make him legit.
Anyway,this topic has nothing to do with Bitcoin,so please move it to a more appropriate sub-forum.

It all depends on who is giving that course. Some millionaires are actually people with a personal net worth of millions but have an very indebted business net worth standing, off the top of my head I can think of Trump and possibly also Robert T. Kiyosaki of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" game, those are not the kind of millionaires you want to learn how to make money from, because usually when people got their large net worth from parents or inheritance or real estate, their net worth tends to stay the same and they make no effort to increase it.

This phenomenon has a name, millionaires who spend more instead of investing are called UAWs, the people who do the opposite are called PAWs. These are people who earned their fortune from investing and also live on a budget, a lot of them started out poor or broke, so their revenue ends up being bigger than that of UAWs. These are the kind of people who you should buy courses from because they proved that they know how to make money. UAWs are just rich and don't know how to make more money. Somebody even wrote a book about them: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Millionaire_Next_Door#UAWs_versus_PAWs

And by the way, Dan Lok also got rich through real estate, so if you buy a course from him you're going to be learning how to invest in real estate (or the lack thereof). I wouldn't try such a thing because homes depreciate in value and can't rebound like stocks can.

So really, when you buy a course on how to make money, it's either about real estate, stock investing, entrepreneurship, or affiliate marketing and sponsorship like putting ads on your site or getting a sponsor for your Youtube channel. If you can figure out these things yourself, then good for you. But it's always wiser to get this knowledge more quickly from someone experienced, so that you don't have to find it yourself after a long time.

His landlord was suing him for non-payment of his rent. Definitely not the kind of person to get advice from. What you learn from someone, you end up copying them so it you bought a course from someone who makes fraudulent business deals for example, that's what you're gonna learn

Most of these "gurus" give somewhat decent advice, but mostly nothing new. They pretty much just get old advice, and rehash them using their own personal style.

Would I personally buy courses from them? Nah, definitely not. Props to them for being really really good salesmen though.

Have hard a lot of scam issues and accusations against him in recent time but even at that he still have large follower's and which is an indications that there is a mix up some where about Dan look, what I will advice any one to do is to take a due diligence before having any thing to do with him any ways.

all i know is that in the past 4 years that i have been on this forum and bitcoin world i have heard so many people tell me that this guy and that guy are "gurus" and "experts" and whenever i read what they say it always sounds like the dumbest thing the dumbest person on the planet can say. in fact the number of "experts" i have seen in this space is more than i have ever seen in my entire life, and that is experts with sarcastic quotes since they are all scammers.

Lol! Dan Lok is an asshole! I believe his networth he always brags about is also forged! A guy with his kind of attitude (as if he knows everything) can only fake! People who like to watch his videos, I really feel pity for them!

Just try searching in youtube with "Dan Lok scam" or "Dan Lok exposed" and you will slowly learn the truth! He is only good at making videos and that's what he should do instead of poking his nose everywhere!
