Good book. Bad guy?
As I search the internet, I have seen many opinions about this book. They seem to be either Naysayers or Promoters. I'm writing this to curb that dynamic. I'm an objective reviewer. I will share the facts and my experience in dealing with Kevin Trudeau's products, including Free Money. I will explain the PROS, the CONS as a basis for my final conclusion. Once you read this, you should be able to decide for yourself if this book is for you. This review assumes you've seen the infomercial or been exposed to some other sales pitch about this book. Important Note: I have purchased Free Money. I'm in the process of reading it. THE CONS: When I was young, I had my Dad purchase Kevin's MEGA Speed Reading. It was 10 or 12 tapes of ineffective blubbering. It was a total waste of time and money. We sent back Mega Speed Reading and got our money back (less shipping). Kevin does have a way of being extremely inflammatory in his commentary. Saying things like "THEY don't want you to know about." I do think his "They're all out to get me" routine is pure drama to interest you in what he's saying so he can sell more books and monthly newsletters. I wouldn't be surprised if all the naysayers weren't paid employees of Kevin to help keep the drama alive. If you read the negative reviews it appears to be the same style of writing and complaints under different screen names. Yes, the information in his books can be found through other cheaper or free venues. No, this is not the public service Kevin claims it to be. THE PROS: Conspiracy theories aside, I have noticed that the naysayers never say anything specific. "It's garbage!" and "Kevin's a con man!" and "Customer Service Stinks!" are the crux of their complaints. The lack of specificity is a positive indicator. Kevin's trustworthiness and CS dept are irrelevant to the contents of his products. Whether he's the 2nd coming of Christ or the son of the Devil, the information in the book is useful. Once you read past the "They're evil" opinion section of his books, the information is valid. Furthermore, you're not paying for a random Google search. You're paying for well compiled data and easy-to-follow instructions. Saying "The information is 'out there' for free." misunderstands why someone would purchase his book. The data in his books is well compiled and his instructions easy to follow. I have used 10 Trudeau products (from Mega Memory to Free Money) and a sales training series he produced. When I applied his techniques, I gained positive results excepting Mega Speed Reading. In my case, it's mostly wins and 1 loss. In general, Kevin's products have an "I'll inform you. Now you do it yourself." edge to them. I would NOT recommend them to people who are not self-starters. Free Money is informationally valid because I do have Missing Money waiting for me. However, I have yet to mail the forms and ergo receive the money. CONCLUSION: Now that you've heard the bad and the good, since we're discussing books, let's take a NOVEL approach and be objective! THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THE INFORMATION WILL APPLY TO YOU. There's a money back guarantee should you wish to return the book but you'll lose the shipping costs and you'll have to chalk it up to a partial loss. If that's going to stress you out financially, do NOT buy the book. Knowing that however, if you're betting that the book is greater value than the cost, then get it. That's the risk vs reward ... plain and simple. By the way, if you call the 800 number, buy the book and complain about the shipping cost, they'll throw in a $30 free gas card (at least, that was the offer I received). Evaluate if that works for your situation. I personally opted to purchase through the internet because it's SO much cheaper. That's my review of Kevin Trudeau's Free Money.
