Vincent James A Scammer?

Quote of the Day: If you do not believe in co-operation, look what happens to a wagon that loses a wheel.


I have just finished reading the condensed version of his 12 months Millionaire, ‘How I Made $77 Million in 2 Years’.

And i have made a purchase of his printed book ’12 Months Millionaire’, ‘The audio recording of his closed door seminar for only 109 qualify people’ and his ‘Billion Dollars Ad Collection’.

Prior to that, i have done a google search for Vincent James and have realized that many marketers are leveraging on his name to sell products and services.  I have also read from a blog site of a guy call Thomas Gates who criticize Vincent James and call him a scammer.  You can read it at www.12-month-millionaire-scam.blogspot.com.

What is my opinion on this?

Hmmm….. after reading his book, i realize that Vince is really a true blue direct response marketer.  And i can sense that he is outright honest and straight to the point type of person.

Yes, he could have make some mistakes in the course of making his millions like charging his clients account even after they terminate the orders. 

Come on, give this man a benefit of doubt.

Could it be that there are some mess up at the fulfilling house or his billing system that cause this problem?  Looking at the massive size of his business transaction and the numbers of buying customers every month, it is impossible to make any mistake.

However, i am not in the position to judge whether he is right or wrong.   Vincent could have done it purposely and it could just be some mistake of his system that he is not even aware of.

I have know of people who are not directed to the download page of a product that they have purchase online because the online payment system malfunction.  Mistake does happen, sometime…

Anyway, i know that i can learn a lot of  real life direct response marketing tricks and gimmicks from him. 

How do i know?

I am a direct response marketer myself and what i read in Vincent James book resonates with me.

 And mind you, i can see that he is no ordinary direct response marketer.  He has done a lot of testing and tweaking of his ads to make it work and his marketing experience is undeniable valuable.

I respect him for his marketing prowess.  As for his character and business ethics, i am in no position to comment as i do not really know him and have i ever seen him in action.

One of the amazing thing i learn from Vincent is that he use the introduction of his book as the content for the sales letter of his book!

Whow! Talk about leverage, this guy really know that.

And he has the uncanny ability to write sales letter that get you suck in and want to buy his stuff.  Here is one of an extract from his sales letter or his introduction (whichever one you read…)

‘Seriously – I envy you.  I wish I could experience again what you’re about to learn… but of course i can’t.  So i have to settle for the joy of watching the light bulbs go off in the thousands of people’s minds who read this book’

In this one simple sentence, it has already triggers many psychological emotion in his readers.

1) The ned to feel advantaged.  You will feel that you are in a unique position to take advantage of his many years of direct response marketing experience, such that you can rip him off of his years of hard work.  You feel priviledged.

2) The fear of losing out.  You want to be part of the thousand who read the book and so that you will not lose out on tapping to his marketing genius in a single read.

3)  The need to feel important.  Vincent James envies you for reading the sales letter as you are about to short cut your success in your business and make the millions of dollars that you have always dream of.

Ha…. i have learned more from him in just one single read of his   ‘How I Made $77 Million in 2 Years’.

If you ask me if he is a guy worth learning from in term of marketing, i would have give you a resounding yes.

However, if you was to ask me if he is a guy worth learing from in term of character and integrity, i can only tell you that i am in no position to comment.

If you are like me who desire to ‘up’ your knowledge on direct response marketing, i suggest you go and listen to a recorded audio of a 6 hours coaching session that Vincent James have conducted for one of his student at  http://www.embraceinternetwealth.com/endorses/vincentJames.

Squeeze every marketing juice out of this man, will ya?  I will!

    I dont see any Vincent James products from your links?

    Only this Russell Brunson who claims to make more money than the Top 10 Fortune500 companies CEO !

    This is really a joke. Does he know how much Bill Gates Steve Job is worth?

    The real wealth in all Billionaires are in their stock not salary.

    I dont think you are doing yourself any favor promoting this joker.

    For some men, it takes them longer to pull down their pants, while some people can do it in just 2 secs!

    My view to this is a pinch of spice or rather i should say, hype!

    Marketing is truly from the heart to providing significant value to your customers.

    My 2 dimes. :)

    Hi Mike & Kent,

    Thanks for your feedbacks.

    I agree with Mike that Bill Gates and Steve Job make money more money with their stocks than their salary.

    The whole idea is to get the company listed and sell papers to the public and let the public play up the prices.

    What i am referring here is the marketing aspect of Vincent James. I believe this guy really know direct response marketing for him to make so much money from mail order.

    What i have discovered from the ‘How I Made $77 Million In 2 Years’ is that Vincent James has some marketing brain and that’s where i think we can learn from him.

    We can learn direct response marketing from this man…. as for other thing(hyping up the sales letter etc), let’s put it aside.

    I believe everyone has their strengths and weaknesses.

    In Vincent James case, his strength is in direct response marketing.

    Russell Brunson learned from Vincent James and his product did shed some light to Vincent James marketing prowness at a lower cost.

    If you want Vincent James’s product, email me at http://www.embraceinternetwealth.com/help. I will forward you the link.

    Thanks for the feedbacks. Appreciate it very much. :-)

    Hey… i forgot i still have something to address as regard to Kent comments.

    After i read through Vincent James manuscript, i do not believe it is a hype. If you understand marketing and you have read through his manuscript from A to Z, words for words, you will know that this man know something that we do not know about direct response marketing, the mail order way.

    In our society, there are a lot of hypes.. i agree. But that does not mean that they do not work just because they are hypes.

    Let me give you an example to illustrate my point. Two students in the same classroom learning the same thing from a marketing guru after signing up from a hype up marketing preview seminar.

    One (student A) goes out there and apply the same things and make a million dollar. While the other (student B)goes out there and do the same but only make a couple of hundred of dollars.

    What’s the different between them?

    Simply the strategy taught by the guru is in alignment with student A core values and personality and he takes it and fly with it while student B is NOT.

    Both paid good money for the course but both get different result.

    Of course student B will said this is a hype but not student A.

    Just leave here with this food for thought….
