UPDATE: This was a scam and a fraud. The people behind this product were full of crap and one of them is a convicted felon who ripped off a bunch of people.
Now after ripping off a bunch of people, Perry Belcher has decided to tuck his tail between his legs and run..scurry is the better word…and exit via the back door leaving many ruined in his wake. We are sorry that we ever promoted this product and advise all of our readers to steery clear of these people on any future products that they may seek to release.
If you look you’re bound to find more. I don’t have the time for this but you can clearly see what kind of crap was being pulled. I wish I had vetted out the product BEFORE we promoted it but we feel obligated to let our readers know that we won’t make the same mistake twice.
Sorry, but did you review the entire Social Media Money System? Because if you had I am sure you would agree that it is not crap at all. In fact out of all the courses I have reviewed this is one of the best.
Nobody is talking about monetizing social media. Just a couple of the techniques in this course have put money in my pocket.
Regardless of Perry’s criminal behavior, this course is excellent. It’s too bad it isn’t available anymore.
You say you promoted the product and that you’re sorry. I guess you promote things you haven’t personally reviewed.
Hey Doug,
Yes, I indeed have a copy of the course so it’s not about promnoting things we have not reviewed or used. Why I’m sorry I promoted it is because I didn’t get paid on it! I understand that I wasn’t alone in that regard.
If the course worked for you then great, I am happy you did. Hopefully others did as well. Maybe you would like to share some of your successes in a subsequent comment.
Hi Barry,
Wow…well. If you promoted Social Media Money System and didn’t get paid I can’t blame you at all for being upset.
I have used the list building tactics, speaking, and promoting free offers as an affiliate.
I wrote a lot more about the tactics on my blog. You can check it out if your interested.
Anyhow, thanks for opening my eyes to your unfortunate situation. I’m sorry you didn’t get paid, I’d like to learn more about that.
Best,
Doug
Hey Doug..that sounds great. Glad it worked for you. I really don’t want to get into it. I guess there were supposedly a ton of refunds and alas some of us didn’t get compensated for our work. But some of the people who bought thru us have been good clients and we did develop some good relationships despite the problems.
Pleasure to meet you as well. I’ll check out your blog for sure.
Hey Doug,
Dude you are completely entitled to your opinion, which is cool, BUT I am sorry you are WAY OFF BASE when it comes to talking bad about “these people”. And telling people to stay away is not cool.
First off, YES Perry did sell some stuff using “COPYWRITING SKILLS” a little to much. You yourself have in your headline “make life changing income”. You could easily be held accountable for that the same as Perry. DO I AGREE? HELL NO!
Anyone who doesn’t have the intelligence to see that something might just be “hype” does not get my sympathy unless its some old woman or something.
Now with that said, I believe what Perry might have been wrong, BUT again I think it could happen to any of us us marketers and writing HYPEY COPY!
Now I REALLY THINK ITS UNFAIR for you to say “those guys”. He is partners with Ryan Diess who is one of the Best Internet Marketers & Trainers on the planet. He alone has created funnels and strategies that we are all using right now whether you learned it from him or someone who ripped him off.
To imply that anyone associated with Perry is no good is insane because it will leave you with no more products to promote. He is a great guy and his training is sick.
Did he do wrong… ABSOLUTELY!
Does it make his training any less valuable or make me any less money? ABSOLUTELY NOT!
Again you have the right to your opinion, but I would promote that course today if it was still around because Perry is a funny SOB that knows more about Social Media than anyone else in the game.
And the day he stepped down…
WE ALL LOSS & WILL ALL GAIN MORE SLOWLY THEN IF WE HAD PERRY COMING UP W/ TECHNQUES FOR US AND BRINGING THEM TO THE OUR WORLD THROUGH YOUTUBE OR WHATEVER!
Again this is just my take…
Your Friend,

Hey Kevin,
Thanks for your comment. We originally backed the product Perry created. But there were some things that occurred that required us to take a look at some things. Right now, we stand behind what we wrote and won’t re-tract it. If things have worked out for you, then so be it and I am glad that they have. We wish you nothing but success.
However, I’m not sure of your background or experience. There are guys like Michael Gerber, Jay Abraham, Napoleon Hill, Dan Kennedy..and a slew of others who might have some problem with your assertions. You see much of what goes on in the circle of Internet Marketing was created LONG before most of today’s Internet marketers ever cut their teeth on selling their courses.
But to each his own. Glad it works out for you. Perhaps you would be willing to share how the Social Media Money Sytem enabled you to make money. I’m sure some of our readers would love to know.
