I'm sure I'm no saint when it comes to this, but it's definitely the reason I stayed away from the whole make money online arena. Too clogged up with clones and irrelevance.

But there can be value in coming from a somewhat ignorant perspective, as long as you are transparent about that fact. For example, many of the topics I cover are quite and because I lack life experience they may not even be proven to be sustainable. But I'm clear that "I'm just some kid writing about some stuff" so people know what they're getting.

I think it's just a case of people afraid of failure, so instead of doing what they want to do they jump onto the Guru-train and go for a ride. That way they're following an apparently proven system (a process) and when they fail they can blame it on the system rather than themselves.
