My rule of thumb is usually, I don't want to listen to somebody who got rich/successful by teaching other people how to get rich/successful. They have become rich before, and then teach others just because they enjoy doing it.
When I read self-help advice by Mark Cuban, or Benjamin Franklin, I tend to trust that a lot more than advice from Tony Robbins or Richard Kyosaki.
That is not to say I'd never listen to their message.. but I take everything they say with a big grain of salt.

Web hosting review sites that make money from links to the hosts come to mind. But yes, I also get a red flag whenever seeing someone making money by telling others how to do so.
