Why 99% of Self-Proclaimed Money Experts on Social Media Are Unreliable
I'm Tyler, a self-proclaimed money expert, and now I make content calling out other self-proclaimed money experts.
1. One Size Fits All Solutions
Number one, they often prescribe a one-size-fits-all solution to all of your problems. The thing is, you're not the person sitting next to you; even if you're the exact same age, you don’t have the same needs, wants, or risk tolerance. Strike one.
2. Marketing Over Money Management
Number two, they're not money experts, they're marketing experts. So, if you do want to learn something from them, learn how they're marketing, not what they're marketing. Strike two.
3. The Course and Subscription Trap
Number three, they’re selling you a course or a subscription service in order for you to access their real expert advice. But here’s some real expert advice from someone who's actually managed money for a living:
If you really want to be the first millionaire in your family, position yourself as a money expert, make some videos on social media, and sell a course to suckers. Teaching them how to sell a course to suckers.
Conclusion
In closing, I'm no money expert. Don't ever look at me as one, but I do know BS when I see it.
