Description

If I can do it, you can do it too. Teach what you know. If you’ve lived it, you can sell it.  All of these are common marketing messages that basically say, “hey anyone can have a business.” And if you don’t have a ton of expertise, that’s not a problem - except it is a problem. The Rise of the Fake Expert is one of the leading causes of being duped. So let’s break it down on this episode of Duped. Want more? Join us on Patreon for bonus and behind-the-scenes content.

If you’ve ever felt like you’ve been duped by a celebrity entrepreneur or coach, or watched with wonderment as people do downright dirty things to grow their business online, this is the show for you. When it comes to starting and growing a business online, there’s no denying the appeal of a flexible, freedom-filled life where you can make more money than you ever imagined. But behind the glossy images on Instagram and big promises, there’s a dark side. In Duped, your hosts Dr. Michelle Mazur and Maggie Patterson do a deep dive into everything that’s wrong with the online business world. From scammy life coaches to sleazy sales practices to cult and MLM style tactics we talk about all of it. You’ll learn what to watch for as a consumer so you can protect yourself from falling prey to these tricks and tactics.
