[Product] Adwords Tycoon - I’m made of money!

I want to make some cash as much as the next man, maybe more than the next man - and every so often I will buy an ebook, product or course that I believe will help me to do that.

I bought Day Job Killer (but bombed on the subscription based Google Assassin), because it was affordably priced and had some great recommendations. They were right at the time - but the market was obscenely saturated with people picking up exactly the same products and using exactly the same techniques - so I did what I’ve done with so many products, put them in a draw for a rainy day.

The hype from the affiliate marketers at the moment seems to be Adwords Tycoons which promises to help you make $8,500 a day, I’ve only really taken a look at it today as I received links from 5 different sources talking about it.

I did what I always do, read the first paragraph, scrolled to the bottom, clicked order and waited…. Why do I do this? I want to know if the product is affordable before I even read the sixteen page over-hyped sales letter (hey if they’re making that much money maybe I could bill them for my time whilst reading the sales letter?).

$997 ? Need I say more?

I put the credit card back in my wallet and scrolled on to see what public opinion was on this product, hey if it really is going to make me £4k a day, I’ll happily spend £500, but I doubt it will (especially in a saturated market).

• Christoph pointed out back in June (I’d never have noticed it back then the month before my wedding!) that the time sensitive Adwords Tycoon deal, wasn’t quite so time sensitive.
• Marketing Pilgrim has seen the videos and says “If you’re looking for training that is beyond what can be found in a book, but are not yet ready to hire a consultant, the AdWords Tycoons video series is a great choice.”

So why all the hype? It probably goes back to my previous post about big affiliate commissions, I mean, let’s be honest…. How big do you thing the affiliate commission is on a £500 product?

If you have bought it, could you let us know whether it really is worth it?
