Software Billions Club sells a membership now at $97 and $27 a month recurring for a package of 250 Ebooks with resell rights to them. They switched their pricing recently, as they used to sell the package for $6,977.00 but with the economic downturn, they couldn’t sell at that ticket price. There’s some problems however with the material, as much of it is dated (like their Internet marketing course only available on cassette, something that by it’s very nature has to be kept current and up to date to be effective). They’ve converted some of it to DVD, but any Internet marketing course that’s from a VHS tape can’t be very up to date, it’s just not possible if it was made that long ago.

The sales hype is the highest I’ve ever come across when doing a review, and that’s really saying something. Picture $100,000 bundles of cash for a background, a mansion, sports car, couple in a pool, a woman holding presents, and cash coming down like rain.

Right off the bat they go into dollar amounts of implied earnings without even a disclaimer, and for the package mentioned above, they claim you’ll receive $1,493,168.50 (yes Virginia, 1.5 million dollars) in free bonuses. There’s also the claim that they are only taking one person per state, and that you only have seven days to order, it’s just a litany of marketing cliche’s here, and it’s all served up under high pressure.

The sales copy turns predatory in places like where he “guarantees your success” something that nobody can do, a business opportunity is a risk and he’s just saying that to push you into buying. There is no web site that shows as much cash, gold and platinum bars as this place.

Now, I’m a believer in buying things that are worth the price, but it’s only when you start to examine the products that this really falls apart for me. Some things I personally know are software and marketing courses, so I’ll go over these for examples.

The Internet marketing bootcamp is only available on 8 audio cassettes and costs $297, just the medium tells me it’s out of date right from the start. The topics they cover are the real red flags, like free classified ads, using the Usenet to advertise, harvesting email lists, my favorite is “how a thing called “hits” can make you thousands practically overnight”. This must have been recorded in the early days of the Internet, this is all stuff people were talking about 10 years ago and it’s not relevant or effective today.

I have to take a moment here to mention this is a lot of content, and the sales copy took some bravery to write, maybe when they first started selling it the content was up to date and relevant, but nobody is going to pay $150 for a CD-ROM containing 500 computer games like hangman, checkers, and elf bowling. It’s just not going to happen. The games don’t even install on your computer, which means they are so small, they have to be from the dust bin of computer history.

In summary, if their pricing was reasonable, there is lots of content and even though much of it is dated, you might get some use out of it. I just find places like this to be very misleading with the over the top projected income claims, 1.5 million dollars in bonuses?

Come on guys… Too much of the software and information is available online for free, and much more current than these offerings.  Are you really going to learn anything relevant by watching “Advanced Internet Marketing Strategies” on a VHS tape? I wish I could remain a little more impartial on this one, but the sales copy is so over the top that it’s almost impossible. I’ll pass on this one, thanks.
