Walks the Tall Talk

Brings significant skills in online consumer marketing to the table. She's a hard-sell, hard-work saleswoman, and good at it. Good to learn from. Gather the gold nuggets all through her podcast/youtube history- or don't, and lose the education.
True, she's plagued by disolusioned get-rich-quick types whose mug and t-shirt shops werent magically transformed by her course. Most of her following are too busy building solid businesses, eyes on the prize, to think of reviewing.

Contradicting Information

It’s ok? Some decent information. However, be prepared for getting whiplash as she says to absolutely not do one thing, and then a video or two later tells you that you must do it to be successful. Her reviews are all from the same few people at the end of the videos. Also, her sales are not impressive as the totals she reports is over a 6 or 7 year time span. The point is to get you to buy her $2,500 program. If you would like insight on that, put her name in a reddit search for some honest reviews.
