Episode notes

Since when did the receipt become the résumé? Buying a course, opening a faceless account, and promoting that course raises a fair question: what experience supports the expertise being advertised?

Veronica Dietz takes a sharp look at make-money-online messaging, affiliate course sales, and the gap between learning a method and advising someone else. From “just sell a $27 product a hundred times” to marketing promises that skip the work of finding buyers, this episode explains what deserves closer examination. Hear what an experienced advisor looks for when marketing stalls and what you can ask before paying for business advice. No account names, just the claims and the questions they need to answer.
