The world is a strange place.
For Robert G. Allen's upcoming seminar on 19th August, which is supposed to talk about how you can be a millionaire by having multiple income streams, the price differs from place to place. I'm not sure whether it's done purposely by the organiser of the seminar to create price differential in the different platforms that they advertise. But look at all these different price for the same course on the same day:
1. From AK's blog - $64 original price
Upon entering promotional code, you can get a 10% discount for limited stocks only, thus it'll cost $57.6. This is especially worrying when I learnt about the email exchange between AK and the organizer. It would seem that the organizer had misrepresented the pricing and spirit of the 'special' offer for his loyal readers. It turned out that the price of the offer is not specially cheaper (in fact, it's the most expensive). But one cannot argue that it's not a special meant only for AK's readers. None of the other people get to purchase their tickets at so high a price! LOL!
**New updates**
Apparently the fishy business runs deeper. For a full account, please read AK's post on I will not attend multiple streams of income seminar.
2. From greatsage's blog - $57
There's no mention of any promotional code, nor limited time or limited stocks. Turns out AK's special deal is a non-event. Even without entering any codes, the price bought from greatsage's link is cheaper. Bummer.
3. From kiasuparents forum - $30 for 1 ticket (early bird) and $57 for 3 tickets (early bird)
This one beats all the rest. What is the qualifying period for the early bird discount? I've no idea at all. But $57 for 3 tickets definitely beats $57.60 for 1!
God knows how much cheaper it can get when you really run a more thorough search in other places where they advertised for the seminar. Wow, what's up with their techniques of marketing? I think the organizer is trying to do some guerilla marketing technique. Maybe by advertising at different places with different ticket price for the same seminar, they are really creating multiple streams of income, lol! Or maybe there's really no such thing as bad publicity, so the more controversial it gets, the hotter it'll be?
Maybe the organizer would like to leave a comment here to let people understand why there's such a huge price differentiation on different marketing avenues.
In the meatime, I'll continue to say that this is a strange world.

Learn the hard and slowly way of investing and earning your life long retirement income from those ordinary folks who have made it.
Many times you get these investing ideas and methods almost free.
You only need to spend your time and energy searching the Cyber world for them.
LP,
I sometimes feel these seminars are a lot like prosperity gospel churches.
They appeal to those who are desperate, lost, cold, lonely, and hungry.
No one goes to fortune telling when we are doing well or contented.
With such a low ticket price for someone so "famous", I won't be surprised there will be selling of more advanced sessions at not so "cheap" prices.
It's the same marketing techniques used by weight and hair loss centres.
Hi bro8888,
Nah, I don't even recommend this to anyone. I certainly won't go myself. If I want to find out more, I'll read his book. But I guess some people would still want to go to such seminars to get 'ideas'. Nothing wrong.
I just clicked on the link to kiasuparents.com's forum. The organiser has just closed the special prices for early birds. ;)
It was still available just this morning. I guess no more worms for birds. ;p
Hi SMOL,
I suspected as much too. At so cheap a price, it's likely to be a seminar to sell more seminars lol
$50 for candle stick TA workshop and also include hard sheets of all candle stick patterns is definitely cheap.
It is cheap for obvious reason.
