Today, we're going to be discussing a product called "Neucopia" founded by a guy named Rich
Cook, which for some reason, a bunch of people tried to recruit me into knowing full well
that I do brutally honest reviews, and something tells me now they're going to regret that
decision.
My first problem with Neucopia is that it seems to be one of the latest companies hopping
onto the "ghost product" bandwagon.
And the reason I refer to it as a "ghost product" is because you're paying good, hard-earned
money to gain access to a product for internet marketing training, and when you get into
the member's area, the training is there...but the reason why I refer to it as a "ghost product"
is because the training kind of isn't there, at the same time—and I will elaborate on
that.
So, you log in and you do have access to all of this training, but it's really only training
that's there to say, "We have training."
In other words, it's outdated and most of it is crap.
Most of it is really old information and it's not valid anymore.
So what someone has done is they've taken a whole bunch of information, they've crunched
it together and they've thrown it in the member's area just for the sake of saying, "We have
training, we have a product"—which is why I call it a ghost product; it's because it's
"there" but it's really not, it wasn't worth paying for in the first place—but it allows
the publisher the right to say, "hey, we have a product."
That's my first problem with Neucopia, and I'll elaborate on that through my next two
points as well.
My second problem with the product is that you've paid $49.99 and you're going to continue
to pay $49.99 for every month that you stay a member until you cancel your membership,
and you gain access to a whole bunch of "training," which is actually just a whole bunch of PLR
content—which stands for "private label rights," which Rich Cook has just purchased
from somewhere else and he's slapped in the members area for you, that you've paid good
money for, to gain access to.
Now, I don't know about you, but personally, if I pay for internet marketing training,
I want it to be original; I want it to be created by the person who claims that they're
qualified to train me and sold me this product in the first place, and I want it to be something
that I can't find anywhere else—and certainly something that I can't find anywhere else
for free, and that brings me into the next part of this.
I want to pull up a few screenshots here and show you exactly what you're getting when
you pay for Neucopia.
So, the first screenshot I want to bring up is called "Blogging Profits Unleashed," and
this is actually one of the first products you can see when you get in the member's area,
and on the left hand side, you're going to see the product itself; you can see the actual
book, the introduction to the book, and on the right hand side, you can see where I've
searched on Google, in quotes, to find that exact book—and it's all over the internet.
You can find it in a ton of different places for either free or for a much lower price,
and that brings me to the next screenshot...on the left hand side, we still have the product,
but on the right-hand side you can see where I've actually found this, pulled it up, and
I have access to the complete guide—the exact training that Rich Cook has given us
in Neucopia—I have, on the right-side here, for free.
All of the pages—I believe it's 51 pages in "Blogging Profits Unleashed"—I have it
full and available for free.
And now I'm going to switch to another product—the next product is the "Seven Habits of Highly
Effective Networkers."
You can see on the left hand side I have, again, the actual product, and on the right
hand side, I have the Google search rankings.
Again, you can see that it's available all across the internet (and I'll switch to the
next screenshot as well) where on the left-hand side you still have the product and on the
right-hand side you have where I've pulled this exact training that I found in Neucopia,
that I have paid for, and will continue to pay for monthly—I have it on the right-hand
side for free.
And then the last one is "List Building Mojo, "another eBook that I pulled up from the Neucopia
member's area.
On the left hand side you have the actual eBook, and on the right-hand side you have
the Google search rankings, and again, if I go to the next screenshot, the left-hand
side is still the product and the right hand side, where I have found this exact product,
the full product and the full "training" that Rich Cook has given us access to, I have on
the right-hand side for free.
So, that sums up my second problem with Neucopia—you can gain access to everything that they have
in the basic membership, and all of the private label rights content you can find online for
free.
So really, in my opinion, nobody has any business charging $49.99 in the first place if I can
find it for free elsewhere on the internet, and then on top of that, you're going to be
paying $49.99 recurring every month for a whole bunch of stuff that you have for free.
So, if you stay on for a year, you will have paid almost $600 for a bunch of information
that you could've found online for free—and I don't know about you, but personally, that's
not the kind of "training" that I want to pay for.
And that brings me to my third and final problem with Neucopia, and it's something that I know
current members are going to come and comment on this review in defense of the product,
and that is saying, "I didn't sign up for the training.
I didn't buy into Neucopia by Rich Cook for the training; I bought into Neucopia for the
opportunity to re-sell Neucopia to others and make commissions."
And for me, I actually have a really, really big problem with that defense and that kind
of mentality, because essentially what you're saying is, "I've paid $49.99 for the basic
membership (and that's not even if you get up into the premiere membership), I'm paying
that much money each and every month for a product that I know is no good.
I know it essentially doesn't exist; nobody should be charging for this.
I agree with you there.
I signed up for the product so that I could sell it other people for the same price I
paid," and for me, that's like saying, "I know I'm getting ripped off, but I paid for
the right to rip other people off and profit from it," and for me, I have a huge problem
with that mentality.
That's what's causing some of these internet marketing products that have absolutely zero
training and zero backbone across the internet to spread like wildfire—it's because of
that kind of mentality, and it screws a lot of people over in the end because they're
looking for legitimate internet marketing training and they're not getting it because
they're buying into products that people are recommending knowing that there's no good
training on the backend, and they're just recommending it to make a profit from that
other person—and I have a huge problem with that.
I take a lot of beef with that, and I just can't even express how much that frustrates
me, to know people out there are saying, "No, I know the product is no good—I'm just doing
it so that I can make money off of other people."
That's a huge problem, and it's no reason to buy into a product, and it's definitely
not a reason to recommend and sell the product to other people and put them the position
that you're putting them just so that you can profit from it.
So, just to wrap up here and make it extremely clear: should you buy Neucopia?
That's why you're watching this review.
I think if you've seen any other part of any other section of this review, my answer is
going to be "absolutely not."
You should not buy Neucopia, regardless of whether or not you're looking for internet
marketing training—because it's certainly lacking; everything you find in that product
is out of date and on top of that, can be found online for free.
Or, if you're buying into it to say, "No, I'm buying into it to make commissions off
of other people because I want to sell it to other people and profit from selling the
profit—which I've already explained, I have a huge problem with that mentality—personally,
I can't recommend Neucopia on either level.
I think that it is a product that nobody should be buying, nobody should be recommending and
nobody should be paying for and I hope that you can understand why I say that from watching
this review.
So, I hope you've find this review helpful.

I give away a ton of 100% resources that I create myself (it's not going to be PLR content);

internet marketing overt the years, and I never charge for myself—I want to give it
