  • [02:25] You don’t have to be in their world, but take the stuff that works for these marketers and apply it to your business.
  • [02:37] Sam Evans is often considered a scammer, but he has over 3,000 positive video testimonials on his website.
  • [03:00] Everyone thinks these guys are scammers because there are a lot of affiliate marketer scammers. It is also because when people buy their products, the users don’t actually use the product.
