The SmartPassiveIncome guy has made it onto Fox
 

This guy does give a few good tips, I've been following him for over a year, there's also a lot of smoke and mirrors in his story. He'll be rubbing his hands together now that he's been on TV, no doubt a nice traffic spike


Here's his site http://www.smartpassiveincome.com/ probably lots of you know it. Some of his videos will genuinely help to increase your profits, I found a couple of gems in there. You have to be able to see through the BS too :2 cents:

What BS? The dude couldn't be more transparent and honest, which is exactly how he built such a big following. He is probably the only self proclaimed "guru" that actually provides value for free and doesn't just push constant affiliate products. Some of his blog posts on building Adsense niche sites are solely responsible for increasing my Adsense income several times over...

is he a bumder?

The key point which he understandably doesn't market, is that he's making a large portion of his sales from the fact that he's 'perceived' as being a big success, which then makes his success self-fulfilling. He's got this loop going where the 'perceived' success then becomes 'real' success. If someone else tried to do what he's doing now without such a huge following to back them up they would be making less than 5% of what he does.

Like you say, he also genuinely gives out excellent tips, so I would strongly recommend him to all webmasters :thumbsup

Pat Flynn is a good person to follow. He is not B.S. and he could not be more honest IMO. Remember, he started with no followers just like everyone else.

The difference is he doesn't push products every 30 seconds and mail the shit out of you with MMO ideas like everyone else. Props to this dude.

Kind of reminds me of Michelle McPhearson
