Guru Buddy System - An In-Depth Look

By Alex Dowling


The Guru Buddy System is a digital information product teaching people how to make a living online, and it does this with a slight twist. The twist is the approach Eddy Rush uses to making money online, it's not like all of the other systems out there. Instead of showing how to do affiliate marketing, or how to sell ebooks and video courses to people. Eddy has created a living in the past year handling the email support of top information product sellers on ClickBank. He is pretty much a freelancer, but through his unique approach to freelancing he has been able to grow and create an incredible home business.

Eddy's concept is nothing new. People have been offering freelance services for a long time now. The difference with the Guru Buddy System is that Eddy talks about freelancing as a business model you can grow and scale-up into something bigger, and it is not simply a fast cash trick. The idea is also different because the system specifically talks about providing email services, and there is a very good reason for this!

The reason why the Guru System is focussing on selling email support services to information publishers is because it is one of the most in-demand services out there online at the minute for web-masters. As more and more customers become more comfortable with buying products online, the volume of support queries that online business owners are receiving is increasing. Eddy saw and exploited this trend successfully and has built a nice home-based online business for himself that now has its first employee.

There are notable problems with the system however, the first being that is not an exciting or terribly interesting business model. The majority of the work involves copying and pasting email templates to customers. The other work involved is copying and pasting Eddy's email templates to product owners when looking for your first clients.

The 2nd problem with the system is that it does take a little time and work (which puts a lot of people off). You can only really outsource the work once you are making a good consistent income from the business. In other words, this model can be difficult to scale and you are probably not going to become an online millionaire with this kind of system at all.

The advantages of this system are; you set your own work hours, the work is very easy, as a lot of the emails you handle are very similar to each other. If you work on this and get clients, you will be providing a valuable service to your customers and therefore if you are charging a fair rate, you will be making good money for the work that you actually have to do.

This system is not perfect and it is not what a lot of people think about when going into Internet marketing and learning how to make money online. But it works. I have personally watched Eddy Rush's progress very closely and seen him develop his business into an excellent full-time income, worth far more than his salary at his last job! He has re-invested this new income in to developing an information publishing business online as well, and there is no reason you could not do just the same!
