Carlton Sheets "No Money Down", John Beck "Free and Clear", Russ Dalby "Find it, list it, make money" and John Alexander "Richer in 14 days" have infomercials on late night TV about their courses. Has anyone ever done any of these and are they for real?

No infomercial course will make anyone but the course seller any real cash flow. Think about what these polished scam artists are saying in their infomercials. Then ask yourself if you would accept their offer if you were a seller. Those doing seminars and infomercials pay the ad people 50% off the top for the exposure. If they were good negotiators they wouldnt having to pay 1/2 their sales revenue for marketing. The end product you buy costs them no more than 10% of your cost. Save your money and if you must buy a course to get a few ideas, buy one cheap from craigslist or just check one out for free at a local library. The effort's you perform by yourself and for yourself, are more effective than whats taught in most courses. No course can take into effect the localized market you are in. What works well in Alabama has no chance for success in Connecticut. Courses are written in very generalized terms and examples are usually desktop created, not market tested. Some just need to spend money on a course to inspire themselves to take action. The course itself had the least value in making them successful.

Yes, I did try Carlton Sheets' Program. He has an excellent program.
However, with his you definitely need ALOT of money to make money.
In his program he states that you do not have to have a line of credit or mney of your own to make money, that's a bold face lie!
When I got the progrm, I read all the material and listened to allthe corresponding videos and tapes. His idea is that you can use other peoples credit history and money to get going.
I'm not really sure how he gets that idea or if it's completely factual.
Have you ever tried to ask a friend or family membe to use their credit card to purchase something for you without giving the money up front? I have and it's like pulling teeth!
Sure if you have alittle bit of money and a line of credit you could realistically make some money on his program, however, I find it to be arisky venture at best. Go ahead and give it a try. The worse you have to lose is $300. (or whatever he's charging these days)
Good luck!
