Online Photography "Gurus" [And Why I Don't Like Them]

Фильм және анимация

On this episode of the KZread show that nobody asked for, I want to take a moment to talk about a gripe I have within the online freelance community: fake experts selling you on a course that’s supposed to teach you everything you need to know to achieve financial success and freedom in your creative endeavor.
///
As a freelancer, creative or entrepreneur, you’re probably familiar with the people I’m talking about. These are the people that spend more time targeting their ads than they spend writing their ebooks or courses. The ones that show up every single time you scroll through those Instagram stories or search for some useful tidbit of information on Google.
Today I want to open up a conversation about these “gurus” and see what you think; have you had success in purchasing an online course? Was the “expert” actually an expert? What things do you think other freelancers and creatives should be on the lookout for when trying to spot one of these fake gurus?

    This should be the pre-advert pep talk for those agents with hot water, selling miraculous courses. I love the "cover info" on those courses like 70hours of quality video, the overall value of $70000 now only for $399.... and there are countdown clocks with the time limit to purchase, which resets every time you refresh the page. Thumb up for the video :)

    Which is worse: photography gurus or photography schools? Both are as asinine as each other. Some of the photography channels are also asinine, but at least they don't charge anything, and they all compete for your attention. Mind you I don't think I've ever seen a photography guru advertised. But I have seen ads for stupid crap like overlays and presets, which are no doubt aimed at ignorant people. Well, what can you do!

    Great point! I certainly don't mean to dissuade individuals from seeking out reputable knowledge-but I agree, most of the gurus and schools are asinine. I envy you for never being advertised to by these goons though, I feel like I get them every day. Probably because my device knows I actually am under-skilled 😅
