A little over two years ago, I realized our industry has a serious problem…

What’s the problem? Fake gurus. Yes, exactly. People start creating some course on a random topic, take photos next to a private jet, and start selling their product with huge promises like “you’ll be a millionaire tomorrow.” Yeah, right…

Honestly, it didn’t really bother me until I created a course myself. I teach vibe coding and built a comprehensive online training in the field. After launching it, I noticed a huge trust gap in the marketanyone who creates a course is immediately labeled a fake guru. It’s harder than ever to build social proof because people just don’t trust course creators or info sellers anymore.

And what happens is that even creators who genuinely provide value don’t get the results they deservethey don’t make the money they should, and even worse, they have less impact on the world, just because some fake guru knows how to market better with a bigger budget.

Is it only me who finds this frustrating? Not at all. I’ve met hundreds of course creators who were directly harmed by thisboth in sales and in impact.

So we thought about it and decided to build a platform for rating courses: real students reviewing real courses. Every legitimate creator gets verified, and every fake guru gets exposed with bad reviews and effectively pushed out of the market.

That’s also why they hate meI know how to expose them.

Over time, I’ve helped dozens and even hundreds of course creators build strong social proof with their customers, improve their credibility, and as a direct result, increase their revenue and sell more of their courses.

This topic affects everyone here, and I want to askwould you like me to share the journey? How I manage to expose fake gurus, help creators build trust and verification through the platform, and ultimately generate more revenue?

I'll be honest, because I'm done pretending.
I have a development background. I spent 6 months building a vibe coding course  the curriculum, the recordings, the landing page, all of it. I told myself this was my way out. Package what I know, build an asset, stop trading time for money.
I saw the screenshots. The "$47K in 30 days" posts. The "I made this while traveling" threads. I'm not naive  I knew those were outliers. But I figured somewhere between "overnight millionaire" and "complete failure" there was a realistic middle ground waiting for me.
There wasn't. Not yet anyway.
4 months in. $312 total. 7 students  two of whom I'm pretty sure are people I know personally.
The course is good. I know it's good because the people who went through it told me it changed how they work. But "good" apparently doesn't mean "sells."
And now I'm sitting here wondering  is this just how it works? Or did I buy into something that was never real to begin with?

So I want to hear from you.
When you built your course  what were you actually trying to create? Freedom, income, impact, legacy? And did you get there?
Because I'm starting to wonder if any of us actually get what we came here for  or if we just don't talk about it when we don't.

Hey, what’s up?
I’m looking for mentors for a short podcast episode about their personal journey and their product.

I’ve been recording podcasts for quite a while, and the people I enjoy working with the most and the best conversations I’ve had were with people like this
I also have a large audience where I can expose your service, so if this sounds like you, comment here and we’ll schedule an episode together
