Alex Jeffreys nixes the gurus game. “I’m giving up the gurus game” he says in his latest post and video from his wedding. This could be a punishing shock to the large host of his followers. Read on to find out more.
Alex Jeffreys is without a doubt one of the brightest newest and fastest rising stars that have ever appeared in the internet marketing sky. His followers are growing in numbers faster than those of virtually any of the so called internet marketing gurus.
Why on earth then would he want to give up the game that has brought him hundreds of thousands of dollars in the last few months? Has he gone mad or is there something crafty behind his decision?
Certainly Alex Jeffreys was never the typical guru who enjoys the limelight and being called a guru. Did he get fed up with being called a guru by his eager followers?
Many of us know the story of Buddha who insisted in saying that he was no guru. And he meant it wholeheartedly. But what did the crowds do, especially after he was no longer around? They built temples to worship him.
Does Alex Jeffreys want to disassociate himself from his followers and students by saying that he is out of the gurus game? Certainly nobody is about to build a temple and worship him.
The last time I checked Alex likes to help people. So perhaps he just wants to do things differently than the typical marketing guru. He has been doing that since I learned about his coaching course Marketing With Alex.
What I think is happening is that Alex Jeffreys wants to emphasize the fact that he does things differently. He truly does care about his students and followers. He’s not done with them once a coaching program ends. This is a fact.
So Alex J. may just be trying to let it be known outside his circle of followers and students that the regular internet marketing gurus game is not his game and that he is fundamentally different.
I certainly hope that this is so. It would indeed be a great loss if Alex Jeffreys decided to leave the internet marketing coaching scene and an even greater loss if he stopped making his products available to everyone who needs them.
Right now the whole thing is still up in the air. But at least for the next few weeks Alex will still be around. In fact he posted a video on his blog with an invitation to comment on it and receive a chance to participate in a live webinar with him where he will spill out the beans. There is only room for 0ne thousand people in the webinar. It may not take a long time for it to fill up.
I for one want to find out his secrets before he potentially disappears from the scene of being a great and readily available teacher of internet marketing. Be it as it may whatever the form of Alex’s giving up the gurus game takes it will happen.
I believe that whatever Alex says and announces has a significant meaning. There is something significant in the statement Alex Jeffreys Nixes Gurus Game.

Hi Gary,
I’m glad you agree with my statement. However the temple I was talking about is a different kind from the one you have. You have a temple while still alive. But it is not to worship you or anyone else. Correct me if I’m wrong. What are your thoughts on Alex Jeffreys giving up the gurus game? Come on. Now that everybody who’ll read this will be rushing to find out what your temple is I still need your input on the stunning news post about Alex here.
Hey Vance,
Maybe he’s already left the business. lol!
All of his websites are down. I’m sure he must be having server problems and not left the business he loves so much. He’s enjoying himself so much on his honeymoon right now maybe he doesn’t even know they are down.
BTW, thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a nice comment. I left a reply to your comment and put a link in it for you to look at a new theme for your blog if you’re still interested.
Later,
Jeff Sargent

Hi Jeff,
I thought you were joking when you said that Alex’s sites were all down. But they are all down!
I must admit that now I am a bit worried. I know of another famous internet marketer that had his sites down around this time. He says that someone didn’t like what he was saying, giving the truth about internet marketing in his newsletter.
They attacked his server through some script or whatever. It really sounds weird but there’s no reason why he woud be saying it if it wasn’t happening.
I hope that this kind of thing will stop. Alex Jeffreys is a good guy and so is Marlon Sanders. I never hear of anybody attacking the bad guys.
I’ll have to ask all the people that may have clicked on the link in my post going to Alex’s blog to please try that again in a day or two.
Vance.
Yo Jeff,
Great post… I can only imagine what’s going on in Alex’x mind with the way the word Guru is tossed out there for everyone that has 3 ebooks. The cool thing is he really has set himself apart from the crowd of Guru’s with the way he shares and interacts with each student.
Not at all taking anything away from anyone else (guru titled ) has done but there’s a lot of Guru crap out there ….this guy Alex is tops.

Hi Ralph.
Thanks for stopping by. I agree that the word guru is tossed around far to often to the point where it will be in danger of losing its true meaning in not so many years.
To everyone’s benefit, some of Alex Jeffreys sites are back up. I’m not sure if all of them but you may go ahead and check out the link in my post “Alex Jeffreys Nixes Gurus Game” going to Alex’s blog. You’ll be glad you did.
Vance.
Hey Vance..
What a great article, and really well written.
Alex already gave us a hint as to what was to come, so I’m sure we can all relax, and he doesn’t mean what this “sounds like.”
At this writing, all the servers are back up, WHEW, that was really scary, it sure came at a bad time, and made a lot of us students sweat a little. 🙂
But if you’ll recall, he told us that he did NOT intend to do another coaching class as it took too much time from his business, and he wanted to get back to making money. And he has generously lavished us with his time… I love it, and so do most of us. Viva
Alex..
Thanks for your very nice post Vance… keep it up.

Hey Daylynne,
Thank you for the compliment. It means a lot to me when it comes from you a published writer.
I too was very concerned when Alex’s sites were down. Especially in light of what I had written just minutes before, posing a question “is this the end of Alex Jeffreys? I was trying to be dramatic when I wrote that but then I almost felt like I jinxed him.
Fortunately everything including Alex Jeffreys are back up and kicking.
Vance.
Hm, this is going to be interesting! I had no idea about it, I have had my head in the sand a bit…
Anyway, Vance, I just wanted to let you know that you have been tagged! Have a look at this thread in Alex’s forum http://marketingwithalex.com/forum/index.php?topic=792.0
This is really fun, I hope you are up for the challenge!
Cheers,
Petra

Hi Petra,
Thank you for coming over here.
And thank you for tagging me. I say thank you because I know it will be fun but I must admit that I take the challenge with some trepidation.
Vance
Hi Vance “Marketing with you “, that’s what Alex is all about.
He knows how to work the market.
so “he” will be around for quite a while me thinks.
He cares about his students too much , but one thing he did say is that this might be his last coaching school for quite a while so We are lucky to be part of it.
cheers mick.

Hi Mick,
I agree that Alex cares about his students and all that. And certainly he will be in touch with us his present coaching students as he stays in touch with all his past coaching students.
But as far as any future students go I think they’d better take every opportunity to become his students whenever he takes new students on.
It appears from everything that I heard Alex say and write that his mentoring may not be as readily available as it used to be (once or twice a year).
Vance.
Hi vance! Im saddened by this news about Alex Jeffreys leaving the spotlight of being a guru in internet marketing. I am a huge fan of him and a follower, just like others. He is really a great loss to a lot of internet marketers who are seeking guidance in the internet marketing world. Im just hoping that he would change his mins.

Hi Summer,
You have obviously not read the post and therefore your comment is pitifully responding to something that hasn’t really happened. I do not follow Alex any longer but I know that he’s still around. Since you didn’t read the whole post and your comment is out of place I have removed comment luv and the additional link which you put in the comment. I do not allow links in comments, especially when they are from people I don’t know and doubly so if the are irrelevant to the subject of the post.
This blog was… how do I say it? Relevant!! Finally I have found something which helped me.
Kudos!
