Lissie, I know this review is about a year old, but regardless of what you think of Johnny B Truant and the others, I got value from just one month’s membership to Third Tribe.

Frankly you sounded really hacked off that they were making a success of themselves.

Paying $47 for ONE MONTH’S membership to get my hands on over 30 hours of quality information in the form of seminars and Q&A sessions from hugely successful folks who have been there, done it and worn the t-shirt is a bargain IMHO.

If I got value, no doubt plenty of other novices did too, even though you felt you didn’t.

I think that someone with your drive and skills could quite easily build sites even though you’re not an expert not by faking it, at all, but by partnering with someone who *is* an expert, but for whom building and marketing a membership site looks a lot like climbing Everest in bike shorts and flip flops. Definitely not a scam but probably just something that isn’t as necessary as it makes out. People don’t need to belong to any kind of tribe, just let people get on with their own way of making money because I think everyone is different anyway. Thank you.

The problem is that many people need to make the mistakes for themselves to learn from them. Smart guys learn from the mistakes of others, dumb people do every crappy move themselves all over again.

I have to agree with you there Liz! I’ve noticed that Internet marketing is a never ending story. There’s always more to optimize and advertise. Especially linkbuilding. That’s one area of SEO that’ll never run out of enough pages to link from.

Actually Nanci – the first thing I noticed on your site was a honking great big affiliate ad for sEO Scribe – so I think you are affiliated with them I find the “Johnny B Truant” persona deeply and no doubt unintentionally ironic – how can you be authentic and hide behind a pseudonym? How can you claim to teach people how to make money when in fact he’s built a business by telling people how to make money and writing humourous pieces?

Most of us aren’t talented writers – I sure ain’t – and building a business as a coach basically means you are always in the position of taking money from the next beginner to pay for your lifestyle – its not QUITE network marketing but…

I ended up on”their” marketing list. I don’t like Brian’s attitude of if you can’t afford to spend $2000 with me (or invest $2k in yourself as he would put it) – you are shite and will never succeed in this business. Frankly I don’t personally dislike Rowse or the Third Tribe

I write multiple reviews with similar titles for SEO purposes – as you are writing an SEO book you will understand that. They may even have got a slightly more positive review from for 3T – except I got unilaterally thrown out of the community when Brian got pissed off with my SEO Scribe review

You really don’t seem to like them! I support your right to write about them but you do seem to have several negative reviews of Third Tribe. I am not perhaps the best person to comment because as a rabid fan of the Third Tribe founders (ESPECIALLY Johnny B Truant), but I would just like to add my support here for the Third Tribe. I have learned a lot and felt welcomed by the community.

and no, I am not affiliated with CopyBlogger, Darren Rowse, or Third Tribe.

Best,

Nanci

In the end if you just keep working hard it doesn’t matter which system you’re using.

No Jay they aren’t pyramid schemes – pyramids deliver nothing – these products do deliver something. They are however heavily marketing because affiliates get a reasonable cut for introducing new customers – that’s pretty standard practice online though

Lis, correct me if I’m wrong but all of these things like the Third Tribe, Scribe SEO, etc… loosely sound sort of like an online version of a pyramid scheme.

I’d agree with that TC because I’ve been guilty of the same!
