Hi Hary! Thanks for your post, it's certainly great to have constructive opinions for others to read and I've seen quite a few of Simple Spencer's courses emphasizing with your personal viewpoint.
Yet the point of my review was to get members to give this course a real go.
-The material in this course is solid.
-It has within its core, many basic methods that can produce a life changing income.
-skill sets learned from this course will naturally lead people to further educate
themselves.
I see this as a good value course and productive people can utilize said material to springboard to varying heights of success. Everyone's mileage varies and you know this.
I receive many PMs requesting help in some form and my post was simply for many to see in one shot. When someone gets a taste of success it motivates them to LEARN more on their own. They take personal responsibility to search for answers and actually try on their own. Instead of the ole' spoon feed me mentality.
Sure Spencer's teaching style may not suit all viewers but that in no way diminishes the value of the product.
I've gone through six (6) of his courses. His style of presentation and teaching is similar in each. He literally has a cheat sheet in your face going step by step and then demonstrates it. Using a cooking analogy- He does everything but come to your home, cooking and serving the meal for you.
When I see a course that can work, I want people to take action and get moving!
I wrote my verbose post to try and motivate members by putting it into context. Giving them a real example of a woman that came from next to nothing to having her own home (paid for) with a fulfilling life.
She saw what I wrote and messaged me. She doesn't want to be revealed and I don't blame her. What she reminded me of, is that everyday she gives thanks for her own courage in taking action and following through on a daily basis. It literally saved her life.
She said how this works only if someone does what is necessary. -
Failure wasn't an option for her and did what was needed to garner success. - She found intrigue, amusement, comfort, etc in all things birds!
SHE FOCUSED IN THIS NICHE. Taking time each day to learn a little more. She learned about the individual birds, their relationship to each other (pecking order), their lifespans, feeding habits, sleeping arrangements, all this and more. She takes photos, videos and posts these with information conducive to her audiences taste. At first she said how awkward writing was for her but now comes naturally. She writes and writes about a subject matter she enjoys and this relays to her audience.
This woman's weekly income FAR exceeds $5,000 and that is only because she was feeling content! All this time she is learning, upgrading her skills with online marketing. Currently she's in the process of outsourcing and that involves training her new team.
I wish success to so many people and sometimes motivation comes in small packages. That's what I hoped to accomplish with my post. I don't want members to overlook a worthwhile product because someone else has a personal issue with the presenter.
I miss Gene Wilder too.
In regards to
noob14 impression about solo ads. Have you used solo ads before? What niche was it for? Did you vet the "List Owner" carefully and look at reviews?
Solo ads definitely have their place and with the right "LIST" it can be a quick boon of income. Remember that solo ads are simply you renting someone else's traffic
THAT SUPPOSEDLY IS TARGETED, HUNGRY BUYERS.
Spencer reminds you that it is your squeeze page and offer that goes out. varying factors of success are involved here that are your responsibility. Have you thoroughly tested your squeeze page, copy, funnel, offer? What's the date of the list? How often is it used? Where do the list members come from? etc...
This is a fine example of how necessary it is to involve oneself in continued education within this industry. One must do their due diligence with solo ads.

Secondly, I may be a newbie here but I'm not a novice when it comes to the subject of marketing online. Just because I don't do so in such a verbose way as you doesn't mean I don't know my elbow from my keister about such matters.
And yes, I did watch the course. From beginning to end. That is how I concluded that Spencer is a "sure-fire way" to boredom.
I do know that the fine folk here take such lengthy talk with a grain of salt (as they should), so I write accordingly.
Lastly, I never said that the stuff taught in this "Bomb Diggity" course does not work. I was just simply commenting on how I think simple spencer is a lame presenter, a one trick pony, and has lost me as a fan.
It's okay I have an opinion, right?
And thank you for your input Razmataz.....
