- coliveira 6y agoA guy who sold "millions" in piano courses and now is trying to sell how to "make millions" on online courses... sounds a little bit suspicious.
- bdcravens 6y agoI can definitely get that - his podcast is actually pretty legit and value filled. He could totally be lying about his numbers, but after listening to his story, it seems like it took him a few years to ramp up his piano course sales.
- PIANO_IN_21DAYS 6y agoThanks for listening to the podcast!
- Igelau 6y agoI've never read "The Four Hour Work Week" but I always figured that if it was honest, all it would say is "1) write a book about how to only work four hours a week. 2) convince people to buy it. 3) On average, spend four hours a week on this."
- samatman 6y agoThe actual punchline of Four Hour Work Week is that Tim Ferris is a workaholic hustler who never stops grinding. Probably still worth reading? I got some good ideas and perspectives out of it, back in the day. Just uh, sip the Kool-Aid, don't chug it.
- read_if_gay_ 6y agoIs this actually an online course about selling online courses?
- renewiltord 6y agoStandard Get Rich Quick™ formula. They all churn out the same thing. Buy my book, my course, my whatever. It'll make you rich.
- bdcravens 6y agoMy understanding is that he spent years ramping up his piano course, and only recently started selling his "courses course". I'm in the process of launching my own technical courses, and if I feel like I come up with a great process for it, I'll sell that information as well. (And probably receive a similar criticism)
- renewiltord 6y agoPity. That would be valuable information but it's in a market for lemons. It doesn't help that his site looks precisely like all those Get Rich Quick™ sites. * Same extraordinary number to lead you in * Massive cost crossed out with FREE on top of it * No preview till you put in your email * Some rando endorsements at the bottom from people claiming to also have gotten rich quick both of whom are also selling Get Rich Quick™ stories.
- bdcravens 6y agoI've listened to his podcast for a while, and it's great, with a credible story and actionable information from those who have found success with their own courses (real courses as opposed to "course courses"). Quite a disconnect from the look and feel of this website (I shared it because I knew it was his canonical URL, and to be honest, I hadn't actually seen it)
- fourseventy 6y agoIts online courses about selling online courses all the way down
- PIANO_IN_21DAYS 6y ago"has been incredibly successful doing this: theonlinecourseguy.com" is not accurate. That's more of a hobby and doesn't bring in that much $$. You'll notice everything I offer there is essentially free. Piano In 21 Days, on the other hand, has been incredibly successful :) -Jacques
