Learn to use Buzztouch for the low low price of $497

Just came across this, there is one free video during which you can see the bt file format. 4393 users taking course, WOW over $2 mil if their all paying full price. https://www.udemy.com/how-to-make-iphone-and-ipad-apps-in-1-hour-without-any-programming/

Seriously? Whoever takes that must be kidding! If there were the number of users that Buzztouch has, they would make: $91million

HOLY. You're right, if the website is legit (and it seems to be) and the statistics the site is giving out are true (which looks to be) he is making two million dollars from videos on buzztouch.com. I don't know what to say. David. https://buzztouchmods.com

Just double checked something. He does mention it's the buzztouch platform in the description, his course offers to teach HOW to use buzztouch, in a very detailed broken down way. In this case, it's legal, it's simply a informative teaching service? He knows a LOT about buzztouch, definitely a member. He has video tutorials more extensive on everything you can think of, guessing that's why the price is so high, he has videos on choosing a buzztouch background and adding icons to a menu for gods sake! 185 videos in total... wow. First guy to make 2 million using buzztouch? In that case.... bravo? I just can't believe it LOL. David. https://buzztouchmods.com

Look at the reviews.. First they were bad but then a bunch of people left a 5 star rating at the same time without comment to boost it up. Just find it ironic. Some interesting legal issues with this one. I would say a short cease letter from BT should take care of it.

John Bura was selling access to all of his courses for $125 back in Oct-Dec. I doubt this is news to David and gang. If this brings more people here then we are all better off.

Granted, using Buzztouch is kind of a cheat, but spending all that time on video is worth something, I suppose... 2 million? sheesh. This is the guy offsetting all that 'app development' payscale crap. Cheers! -- Smug

Well think about the financial part of it. He really made $2 million you would think he would upgrade his website.

Funny. When I go to the link in the op, it says 393 users. When I click on the link on the website on the right, it says 4393 users. The guy's a marketer, good luck to him if he offers value for money to some people. A truer picture of his clients/traffic might be the 4 tweets, 2 fb likes and 7 g+1's...

If I had 2 million my website would be the last thing on my mind... I'd be choosing colors for my lovingly restored Karmann Ghia convertible.... the one I'd have if I had two million... Cheers! -- Smug

I have access to this, I got it free when I bought a macbundle from bundlehunt and some others., it has been released several times as a freebie when bought with other stuff. It's a bit out of date and extremely basic but not bad for free

This explains why there are about 4k users. If he gets 10 people paying for it about 500, he made 5k. This is also a way how to make money. Just I would not recommend to put his real name there :) Or he should make the price higher to at least 50k, so that he can live from the few sales somewhere where nobody cares about him. Cheers, Frogman

As a general rule, you should never pay full price for a Udemy course. There is almost always some sort of promo going on. You can find promo codes through sites like retailmenot.com The last course I bought there was only $10 for something that was listed at $99. Current example: https://www.pickabundle.com/courses/ has a pick six bundle for $60.00 right now. So $10 each when the each course offered is listed from $60-$500.

John Bura. Has our blessing. Good dude. Udemy course. This is John's offer. He tries to keep it current, it's usually behind. All the other's that have stolen his content frustrate the heck out of John and us. I could list 10 URL's from "training academies" online that are pirated, ghetto, useless content about "learning buzztouch." $497. Never happens. I can assure you that John's made a few dollars but nowhere near LOTS. It's laughable how all those crazy stats about how many people have paid this show up. None of them match, almost none of them are accurate. Frustrates us too.
