I really get a kick out of goo-roo fanboys.

You know what those are, right?

Basically they are people who latch onto a goo-roo and ape everything that goo-roos does. They use the goo-roo’s emails verbatim. Never test anything outside accepted goo-roo orthodoxy. And, even worse, start selling info products based on what little they know (which is often skewed or outdated info) to OTHER hapless newbies who then follow suit — at which point they grant themselves goo-roo status.

Not saying they’re all “bad” people.

But they are often a zealous bunch of baboons.

And frankly, I wouldn’t be shocked if they had their own “creed.”

Maybe even their own “commandments.”

Something like…

I Thou shalt tell people to test but never test anything thyself

II Thou shalt spend thy time in marketing forums and avoid real work as much as humanly possible

III Thou shalt mindlessly quote thy favorite goo-roo whenever thou art asked a question

IV Thou shalt shamelessly swipeth ALL thy ad copy

V Thou shalt never run an ad selling a money-making product without at least one phony photoshopped bank statement as “proof”

VI Thou shalt NOT blaspheme goo-roos by refusing to participate in their every product launch

VII Thou shalt only join lists that give away free info and rebuke all those who dare sell thee anything (unless ’tis a goo-roo list, of course)

VIII Thou shalt inflate and exaggerate ALL claims

IX Thou shalt use the same form email all thy competition uses when promoting products to thy list

X Thou shalt honor the 50+ word headline and keep it holy

Hey, don’t scoff.

If you’ve met a goo-roo fanboy you KNOW I speakth the truth here.

Again, I’m not saying goo-roo fanboys are evil.

Amusing?

Yep!

Bad people?

Not usually (just misguided).

But I sure wouldn’t recommend listening to them.
