My business is web marketing and I won multiple web sites promoting other people’s and my own products and have made over $5m in internet revenue in 7 years.
“I have been studying most of the videos with a pure business and in particular, marketing head on. I actually found that in his early days, the information Vick shared was very useful and some tips were very educational. No-one is conning you any more than a Dyson vacuum cleaner salesman or a Lidl when they sell airbeds.
BUT people like Vick use very powerful persuasion techniques to lul you into their network and take your money for information which you can pretty much access yourself when you watch all of his videos plus other videos from other marketeers on YouTube.
His technique is to allow you into his World and create a sense of trust in him a a ;regular Joe’. But he isn’t and his criminal track record proves it.
Vick does actually unlock some secrets such as using Google to find the most targeted keywords and the best markets for making money but, at the end of the day, it is you the potential subscriber who has to look for the market and eventually the products to sell via affiliation. He doesn’t do this for you.
Vick is absolutely right about product not being the starting point but rather, the market is the starting point and then the best performing products within that market are what you sell.
So, if you watch all of his videos, you can pretty much get the picture. Then scan around the various topics he highlights and watch videos from other companies. Then you have to pick your 1 to 4 markets(max) and then look for 20 products in total to sell. Sample the market with these products and the ones which perform best, invest in those. It works the same way in retailing from shops. Nothing has changed!
Where Vick leaves himself vulnerable of suspiscion to fraud is, in the following ways and these are why I would not invest in his programmes;
1. 80% of his videos have no added value. It’s just very ‘clever’ engaging chat.
2. His latest videos as of Jan 2014, focus a lot on his apparent wealth and lulling the viewer into aspiring to live like him. It’s compelling.
BUT! BEWARE! In video 1, you’ll notice he’s driving s Ferrari. But the key in the ignition has a ‘Hire company’ tag attached to it. And the BMW in video 2 has no number plate marking which suggests it too is rented and he is only revealing ‘parts’ of his personal life and isn’t confidently saying, “here is where i live, this is my car etc”.
So, most of his stuff is staged. This is becoming more apparent to me the wealthier he becomes. As the stakes get higher for his prey (you the investor) so too does the quality of his presentation.
3.What about his office? Where are his staff? We haven’t me his accountant. Where is is main web site? It’s all a but secret.
4. He closes his networks(websites) after filling up with subscribers and then ‘appears’ to use his ‘exclusive’ members to sell his products down at a lower level. In this way, he succeeds in distancing himself from his audience and hiding behind his newly recruited Gold and Diamond members.
5. try to contact him via email or invite him on facebook and you’ll get no reply.
6. The richer Vick becomes, the more hypocritical he is. For example, he claims to be a ‘humble guy’ but he is actually flaunting his wealth all the way. is that humble?
In summary, I would say he is one of the best at what he does and whilst his offers are probably not blatant fraud, his methods are highly unethical because most of you potential investor will not make the sums of money he suggests you will make. Especially those of you who have no previous experience.
If you are an experienced business person and a good sales & marketing person who understands the web, building web sites, promoting via social media, you could take snippets from Vick to help your business. In all other cases tread with care. Spend time learning the subject and start small. This way you will gradually make money. BUT, DON’T invest in anything promoted via VICK. It’s bad for your bank account.

I am a victim of Vick too so I agree with the original post. I wrote a detailed encounter with Vick and Global Success Club at:
