INFOMERCIALS….. what can I say? It’s sometimes like watching a comedy show. How many of you get suckered into this? Hey, I admit, I sometimes think I should call. Ever see the new lipo-pill? It reduces your fact from within, never needing lipo-suction. LOL I was like, gee, that would be great. Then I said, “wake up Jeff. Get real.”
Infomericals arose because of the deregulation during the 80s involving television. But these originated on the radio at first. There are just countless infomercials on TV. 100's of 1,000's are made a year. But have you noticed that 99% of them are on TV from midnight until 7 am in the morning? LOL When many of you are either late night watchers of TV or people that just don’t have a job to even pay for these.
NBC Dateline actually did their own infomercial and aired it on their show to prove a point. Did anyone see this? It was hysterical. The end result was a pill filled with Nestle’s Quick and it was suppose to keep your skin healthy and wrinkled free. Starling Fitness » Dateline NBC Investigates Infomercials
Here are a few other articles about infomercials. The one thing that gets to me is that I couldn’t find anything on these so-called gurus of property investors. These people that go out and buy many investment properties or properties to flip, but with no money and no credit. And they even get money back at the settlement table. If there were programs like this and if it was that easy, we all would be doing it. Hell, I am in the mortgage industry. Besides, we had a local TV station do a segment on this. They went to one of these seminars and had to pay $300 for a set of discs. But when they got to the end of it, they had to buy another set just to find out the results of how to do this.
