No one likes Courses cause it always implies: My thing doesn't work anymore so I sell you a course with stuff that worked a while back, but not anymore
No disrespect, but I’m over all these course sellers. Please feature more business owners that are not making their money online by selling courses to others who are desperate to make money online.
No disrespect taken :) I personally think there is something to learn from every business as long as they are not being unethical which I don't think is the case here. Education is a HUGE market ($1T+ in the US alone).

They're all scam artists. None of them are making money "writing" (I write for a living, and while I make a comfortable living, i'm nowhere near $1 million), they're all making money from selling their scam "courses" to people who are gullible.
No more course sellers please, since the majority of them are scammers or simply not worth it. Anyone that makes more money from their course than the actual skill they teach (like the person in this video) becomes sus. There are a few exceptions of course, but in general this can be applied to many course sellers (such as all the fake traders making more money from trading courses than trading) @@starterstory
100%. Sick of seeing course sellers. Most of them are borderline frauds. Their product ('courses') never usually work and they sell a dream. The crazy part is none of them have made their money with the things they preach, they make it by selling courses. But I have to give it to them that its a good funnel marketing lesson for all of us.
Every single one of his businesses is selling courses basically. Its worked fine for him, but its a market that is gradually becoming more and more saturated, people are just selling more of the same and won't be able to replicate his success. Its the same with all the self help stuff - if you're in the right place and right time when you start out, kudos to you. I like success stories like this, but I'm also not fooled. Self help also isn't really the same - if you need to pay someone to 'tell' you how to improve your life, then there's little hope for you if you can't figure that out yourself.
I can see where you're coming from, but digital education and courses is a legit business model. This is just my 2 cents: The US education industry is $1.41 trillion... TRILLION!! People pay $200K+ for college degrees. Masterclass is a billion dollar company. Completely understand if you don't like that business model, but judging one business model over another is a dangerous mindset. The purpose of a business is to solve problems, so if his solution does that well and people happily pay for it, then that's actually a sign of a great business (IMO). This guy's legit and has some cool business models and was upfront about the businesses he built. You don't have to buy his stuff, but there's a ton of stuff to learn from him.
@@starterstory I'm not saying he's not legit. I'm saying that longterm, for many other people......THIS is not a viable approach. The market is saturated with such people, and as it becomes saturated, it becomes harder to make money. That's just basic economics. When you then have people selling much of the same thing, it just becomes difficult to make money. There might be a few people it works for, Dan Koe, Rob Dial ($5 mill a year he makes) and the likes - but they were right place right time, there wasn't really anyone like them before and they've succeeded greatly in establishing themselves. Good for them, well done absolutely. For most people, its not going to pan out and make them millions.
@@bobpage6597 so if there are too many people doing the same thing = this thing is not viable? By that logic, all products are saturated. I'd actually argue otherwise. I understand that "selling courses" may have a negative connotation for some people, but it is a proven market that works. Only the winners survive in any market condition, and Dick definitely has a proven business model that works seeing from the evidence
@@bobpage6597 Personally I think you're wrong. It is not saturated, actually the opposite IMO. It is only the veryyyyyy beginning for creator based businesses like the ones you mentioned. And I actually think it's an excellent business to be building right now. No it is not an easy business and building an audience takes time, but it's def not saturated as profit margins on these businesses are eye poppingly good. But I respect your opinion tho - we'll see in 3-5 years time :)
I’m a huge fan of Nicholas Cole, I have consumed lots of his content. It has driven me to make my first $1.5k (using RU-vid scripting). But honestly, even though I have known Dickie Bush for a while as Nicholas’s partner…I didn’t expect this compelling origin story. This short video has given me all the push I needed to start writing online. Thank You Dickie. Thank You, Starter Story.
More power to him, for sure, he has figured out something that seems to work $$$ amazing, but it appears like he doesn't actually write stuff a la Atwood, Hemingway or Shakespeare, but instead, he makes money selling courses to others on..."how to write". So they in turn, can make money selling courses, covering, also, "how to write". And so it goes, we become a society of people teaching but not doing LOL. It's an amazing world.
Dude that’s pretty much every RU-vid guru at this point, they have fake businesses, portray them as super successful then sell courses to people on how to do it. Then they get rich.
You asked what we want to see more of, and the first video you uploaded after couldn't be more opposite than the results of the poll. What's the point?
Dickie is a straight shooter! I feel like he would be successful at anything he applies himself to -- has been locked in for success for a decade+ . Appreciate the interview!
Great vid! What you want to take from it: - Improve your luck by experimenting and see what sticks - Put in hard work and build skill - Detach time and value by selling digital products - Add value to someones life by solving peoples problems - Consistency is key - Wear a black tee everyday to minimize decisions
So I got to 2:36 and all the 4 businesses were basically courses. Yes I am not finishing it but did it get better at any point? Also what is the hope for students? To create courses and sell what they learned in his courses to others?
This channel actually is the funnel for a paid community, that is how he makes a ton of money and also why he is connected with a lot of unusual businesses. Not sure about any courses haha
10m aside. What a humble soul he’s. He started straight away with his struggles and ended up with his piece of advice, no bullshit, no show offs, a simple individual with great skill.
I find the story inspiring and his overall approach to business, im less interested in simply copy pasting the idea and more the story of how the person arrived at the idea and the struggles they went through. That said, i do agree with others that the "selling courses online" success as an eye rolling subject. Its one step away from mugs, Tshirts and drop shipping. Great content as always! :)
Amazing story, keep it up! You can see why the e learning industry is estimated to be worth $189bn by the end of 2024 & $209bn by 2029. & every year people are saying “it saturated” but the numbers say otherwise lol 😂
Again I support this channel but sometimes the numbers are so unrealistic the avg person can’t comprehend them. I’m a teacher by day novelist running a small publishing company by evening. The promo to the video says learn how to take your writing business to $800k a month. If the avg person were to set up a business generating an extra $800 a month that would be life changing for the avg person and this video says learn how to generate $800k a month. That’s like expecting us to understand just how long 100 million yrs is. All you can do is laugh. Mike
@TeseractsI agree with definitely problem is however we view money the avg person can not make a small company that generates an extra $800 per month. My goal with my small publishing biz is always 1k a month and very difficult to make that happen. Mike
Your comments seem to be following a trend: we, your audience, are getting over the psuedo ponzi scheme of 'i make money by helping others make money' starter stories. If your numbers keep going up by covering this niche then great. Get that bread. But as a fan that thinks he sees what you're trying to do, you really need to start mixing up your content with Starter Stories of people who DON'T make courses helping others how to make money. Like if you took all these courpreneurs, put them in a room, and said come up with a product guess what it would be? A course on how to make money (albeit a very good course). You've covered an author that wrote a book. Those cold blanket guys. What if they were locked in a room with an AI artist, a landscaping company business owner, a speakeasy owner, and a survival RU-vidr who all have their own successful Starter Stories? WHO KNOWS what they would come up with! And that's my point. This channel is becoming less and less a beacon on ENTREPRENEUR Starter Stories and more and more a hub for COURSEPRENEUR Starter Stories. Maybe change your mission statement to 'hey make a ton of bread selling how to make money courses THEN do what you really want now that you're rich'. There are just so many other business types other than 'how to help other people make money by selling courses on how to make money'.
Exactly, no one does real business nowadays. It's just that these kind of cheap course content have high demand in the market as the people are uneducated. And these COURPRENEURS who know some basic economics are taking advantage of that demand. And they call it real business😂.
I 100% agree with you. There are genuine online businesses out there that don’t make the bulk of their money selling courses. We don’t need to hear about another millionaire course seller. Course selling has become the new dropshipping.
“Writing” is the new scam on RU-vid. It’s laughable especially with AI now but even before AI writing is one of the lowest paying things you could do. More importantly these RU-vid scammers have targeted writing because it’s the one thing everyone thinks they can do!
Yep. I've been a full-time online writer for over 20 years and still don't make $100,000 a year, and I own 5 websites and do freelance work. There is little money in writing nowadays (although AI so far is not the threat people said it would be, as most AI still can't churn out a decent article that isn't obviously AI-written), which is why everyone is calling themselves a "writer" and then selling fake courses to gullible people instead.
@@ndutkevich Same. These guys - RU-vidrs, Course people, 95% are grifters. It's all a show - like Shakespeare said (allegedly) The World Is A Stage & The Show Must Go On.....I admit i added the last part, but still, this channel is bold face lying.
@@KOK-sc8ez it’s all one big grift that relies on bringing new people in, selling them a dream (knowing that 99% of the buyers won’t get results - unless those customers now go and sell dreams to others)
14:47 If you're going to regurgitate Alex Hormozi's advice and act like it's your own, at least reword it so you're not retelling it almost word for word.
@@moriarty032 yeah of course there's also bad ones, I always try to get the ones with the best reviews.but I still think it's the best way to get knowledge if you don't want to study at an university anymore and want to make money in the future. I still think it's way better than youtube

that's true, i used to read a lot of books before starting out something, turns out I never get to practice and apply what I use, until i started my own business last year, then I read again, this time, it hits different!
guys, for some reason i don't believe this story. Do you fact check all these people who come on this channel? I find it hard to believe he makes that kind of money with selling courses.
Very interesting to read in the comments how polarizing the essence of this interview is. Yes, there are people who sell bunk and put your money in their bank. However...from what I heard: DB did...leave his job...after starting to write online from scratch....and over the course of many years has built some successful companies. Now...the headline is a tad inaccurate. I'll suggest that a key takeaway is to learn a little something that "you" can add to what you do (make sure "you" are DOING something). ☮
It’s called not having a life. 168hrs in a week. Work 40. If you sleep 8 hours that’s 56. That leaves you with 72hrs. Let’s argue that 32 of that is spent commuting, eating, and what ever else. Leaves you with 40hrs. If you can’t start building something with 40hrs a week, then you’re just bad at time management.
Hi. He did say up front he basically stopped working as much during his full time job hours. Sounds like he was salaried but began to do the minimum to get his work done He said it 2x at 3:08 and 9:38.
The problem with these people is they are really incentivized to lie and fake their revenue. The truth is if someone finds an easy way to make 8 figures online the last thing they would want to do is increase their own competition. I've come to the conclusions that every person who sells a course is straight up lying, there's really no other logical explanation.
Same thing with another guy he featured a few months ago, who was supposedly making $1 a year from his website. One of my sites gets almost quadruple the traffic his gets in the same niche, and I'm not making anywhere near that amount. Then when I checked his traffic, Google had slammed his "Google-proof site", and he'd lost 50% of his traffic. Most of these people are just scam artists targeting gullible people. And it's a shame they're being promoted like this. They're the online versions of used car salesmen.
No one likes Courses cause it always implies: My thing doesn't work anymore so I sell you a course with stuff that worked a while back, but not anymore
Anyone here that saying "he is selling courses" and crying education is one of the most biggest marrket out there. If you are a plumber you can make a course and teach someone else how to fix and there is no problem with that. Making money online i just one of 1000's niche out there.
Course selling and AI businesses are the new drop shipping. Next year it will be something else. Find a way to popularize that next thing and you'll be rich!
Since when BR is a hedge fund? Its a mutual fund and its definitely not a dream finance job. Plus effort = bonus at most hedge funds as well as other high end finance firms.
Sooooo his Princeton and all that background of working and all didn't matter AT ALL !!!!! These dreamy, EVERYONE can do it since it easy as pie things work for those it works. If it IS that simple and straightforward, then teach us for free to begin with and then if you're so confident that it works, one can pay after. Can we do that???
I agree with you I watch and support this channel but earning any money online is tough. I write and publish books if I made 10k for the yr it’d be great and everyone makes a million a month. Mike
I don't think he cap. usually gurus are lying about their past. Blackrock is a high finance role and he was a PM making 400-500k. It definitely possible in nyc considering he went to a ivy league college. It definitely seems unbelievable but his social media following on twitter is crazy and he get alot of engagement. He has alot of receipts where I would belive him. I don't think you have to pay to join his course like anything. Just read and listen to free content and your good.
I m actually very optimistic and positive person , whenever I see the new story that makes me more and more and more high cortisone level and I figure out who s more deserve than me to be succeed. succeed is not just having huge money that's good feelin when you reach something u r deserve.
If you couldn't relate to what he said, and all you got from it is "Oh, he's selling courses", then you are in the wrong business. Don't drag actual people through the dirt just because you took courses from people who could tap into your greed and laziness.
Im a big fan of dickie bush and his business partner nicolas cole. These guys are legit. But I will never buy their courses. They have admitted multiple times that the info in their courses is the same info they give away for free just packaged better. And understandably everyone has course fatigue because the biggest creators all have courses selling us on the idea that we can make six or seven figures from doing x,y,z when how they often make the majority of their own money is through selling courses. Not the thing they tell us to do. Even small creators these days have courses teaching the same things it’s getting ridiculous.
