Simpleology, a courseware provider, is offering a blogging course free to people who link to their site. It looks like they’re beta-testing it to see whether they can sell it. I figure, I’ll try it out and see what it’s all about. What’s the worst that could happen?
Update after the break
Here’s what they think I should say:
I’m evaluating a multi-media course on blogging from the folks at Simpleology. For a while, they’re letting you snag it for free if you post about it on your blog.
It covers:
- The best blogging techniques.
- How to get traffic to your blog.
- How to turn your blog into money.
I’ll let you know what I think once I’ve had a chance to check it out. Meanwhile, go grab yours while it’s still free.
Update: To be honest, I’m not all that happy with what I’ve seen so far — a big-ass sales page for a health course, and once I managed to find the dashboard for the blogging course, I find I have to do their “simpleology” course — which looks like self-help flim-flam to me — before I can unlock the blogging course. Feh.
I got NOTHING from them —
I got NOTHING from them — they just said “sorry, can’t read url.” sheesh.
I’ve been getting some
I’ve been getting some random emails, but the whole system is so convoluted I really don’t even know what I’m supposed to do or what they’re talking about. I feel kind of scammed; I suppose I could have looked more closely at what “simpleology” was supposed to mean, but I figured it was just, you know, “simple”. Didn’t know it was a subject in its own right that apparently has to be mastered before you can start blogging!
Anyway, for now, I’m saying: Not recommended.
