TIME-STAMPED SHOW NOTES: [00:27] Today’s Topic: Why You Should and Shouldn't Spend Money on Marketing Courses [00:45] If you end up paying for something, you’re more likely to take action. [00:52] People can find what a course is selling for free elsewhere. [01:20] If you pay for it, there is still a chance you won’t take action. [02:00] It depends on your personality type when it comes to taking action. [02:20] Eric sees people offering online courses as taking advantage of others. [02:33] They may not actually be experts and credibility isn’t required to teach online courses. [02:51] Eric feels it is preying on people’s insecurities. [03:26] Look into the person selling the course; check credentials. [04:15] Some courses are being taught by people who just teach courses and don’t have actionable information.
