I've taken a lot of online business courses, and this one actually focuses on execution instead of hype. Billy Gene's 10-Day A.I. Business Plan breaks things down into clear, practical steps without overcomplicating AI or marketing. The daily structure keeps you moving, the examples are real, and it's easy to implement even if you're not technical. If you want clarity and momentum instead of another course collecting dust, this is worth it. read more

Billy is incredibly motivational, and he covers a lot of ground quickly. The introduction to the AI tools is invaluable for any marketer. It starts to go downhill for me when he pitches you to join what is essentially his MLM selling HighLevel to small businesses for $970... of which you get 40%. So... do you want to find potential clients, pitch them, sell them the product, then also run their email, social and web content campaigns, oh and manage their CRM for... $388? It DOES make me want to research other CRMs and figure out if HighLevel is the best out there, or if I can use his methods to sell something else. I still give it 4 stars because the overall messaging, marketing strategy, and methods/ways of selling seem really solid. read more

The fact that Billy Gene himself is taking the time to provide LIVE trainings speaks volumes about his desire to help people up in this marketing biz. He doesn't have to think of others at this point in his success but he's generous enough to share his knowledge to give back to others to help us become successful. read more

The "Billie Gene is Marketing" virtual course I've been doing for the past 8 days (10 days total) has been time and money well spent. While sometimes the visuals are often over the top and distracting, the course is focused on giving the viewer the tools to effectively sell the HighLevel App to help small businesses (SMBs) make more money. You learn to use AI for marketing content, how to maximize the end-to-end marketing capabilities in HighLevel, and how to sell and close deals. I've played with the app, which provides a comprehensive CRM for SMBs. I'll be using it for my small business marketing activities. I want to get copies of all the lessons. They might be coming, but I've had to take copious notes so far. read more

Service and Classes are amazing to the point and take your learning to the next level. Again if you implement guess what you will see result if not you gone stuck as Chuck. The sales teams is nice and they even helpe you with anything you had about any course you take with billy i love his style of teaching and it is very easy to learn. read more

What I thought I was buying was a class for digital marketing: but what I got is a class for reselling High Level to my clients - which I already had. Took a few notes on new ideas. Worth $109? not sure yet- but I spend a lot of time fast-forwarding through noisy 'energy' as he calls it. Not in love with the 'angry' comedian - it gets old after a few hours of watching it. He pretty much offends every culture and race on the planet - so it's equal opportunity in that sense. I've been selling stuff for a lifetime and when I buy another person's course for its marketing content, it's to increase my knowledge and make me do a better job marketing my company. Behaviorally speaking, the course isn't really supporting that for me. read more

This is a course to resell high level CRM, it's so focused in that, that gets you tired. There's some cool GPT promps that's why I didn't gave them 1 star. read more

This is not my first time purchasing a class from BGIM. The first time, I did almost nothing and improved my business with their help. This time, I am seriously following along and doing the work. I have learned a lot so far and if the remaining days are as full of content and information as the previous days, I will come back and change this rating to a 5. read more

This is a SCAM. BUYER Beware. All they do is take your money and send you tidbits of information that wont make you rich. I signed up for a 19.95 1 month course. That's it. they have since kept charging my credit card, for items i did not sign up for. They dont answer their phone and in the FAQs they send you to a customer support email that is bogus. Do your research before getting this mess. These good reviews are NOT real. Billy Gene should be ashamed of himself! He is a poor example! read more

This course is extremely well put together. There is so much information taught, yet it's taught in a way that you can retain it easily without feeling overwhelmed. The videos are fun, short and to the point. The classes are energetic yet like I mentioned filled with important ammo that all entrepreneurs need no matter your industry. Billy seems to be a down to earth kinda guy, who is extremely knowledgeable; takes pride in his craft and truly cares about & luvs his students! His staff is extremely knowledgeable as well, friendly and I've witnessed their patience when sometimes I watch and wonder how they are able to coupe with some of the questions asked. They are just great! Kudos to this program! Thanks Billy! I appreciate y'all! Tye read more

The 10 Day AI Digital Class is very informative, and you learn strategies you can immediately implement into your business. However, I did not expect to be sold on pushing the High-Level Business tool manager. I didn't sign up to do that. I totally thought it would be something different. I will be seeking a full refund. I was disappointed that it turned out to be sales op read more

So far so great! The training is easy to retain and though the tasks a bit tedious, I rest knowing it will all be worth it. When I make revenue I'll change my rating to 5 stars!! - Sep 30 2022 read more

Ok. I give it 5 stars. Is it because I made a million dollars? Nope. I didn't have time to mess with the course to that level. However I did use it to increase my business when the pandemic hit. It works, I did 3X the business I was doing before the pandemic. (And I was just f ing around with it.) But one of my nephews used my computer during that time and started a part-time marketing service. (He won't let me use his name. Sorry)He was clearing over 90k in about 3 months. So, now I'm thinking about changing businesses. Lol Ultimately, I had it for 2 years. Did virtually no action for no results. My nephew had it for 3 weeks, did "EVERYTHING" he was taught from the programs. He got broke the f off. This is an old saying but you get what you put into it. Thank you BGIM Side note: That cheap b-stard still hasn't paid for the program. He just waits till I'm away and ask my girl to use my computer. The nerve of these kids. read more

This company tried to make a transaction on my debit card. Luckily I turned my transactions off. I do not do business with these people. This is a scam! Beware! read more

The 30 day course is packed with useful information and delivered in a format that is easy to understand.

Hey peeps. I've been following this guy for a few years now. His trainings are super high quality and he teaches you what he does. He's a fun guy, not like other trainings, which are boring, but still teaches you a lot of great marketing strategies, tactics and little nuggets. 1000% recommended read more

I gave you a four star because it's day 6 hopefully in 24 days I can come back and change it into a 5 love everything you have taught me in the pass 5 days I could def make my 140 back right now I might try and tell you how it went in the group chat Gray read more

Billy Gene Is Marketing - Marketing Near Me - San Diego, California

This is a modern day pyramid scheme, done in a genius way. You are drawn in by learning about what AI can do and seeing lots of great models of it in use. Then asked to provide a review half way through this course (right when you are excited about what you are learning) then the second half of the course is all about how to make the sale with lots of motivational speeches, etc. The course is designed well and Billy gene is very entertaining throughout the course and you do get to learn about lots of AI apps. For that reason I gave it as many stars as I did. But I can't go higher than a 2 because the course just feels really manipulative. It teaches all about how you can get out there and work hard and sell something and you only get a 40% cut after you do the work of using all your own personal contacts to find the customers and setting everything up in Highlevel for each one. Meanwhile, the motivation for learning about AI and how to make a sale is all for manipulating people into buying and you being able to make money and becoming rich. It just feels yucky. I couldn't quite shake the feeling that I was being manipulated throughout the course the exact same way we were being taught to manipulate others. I chose NOT to start an account with Highlevel, which is what this whole course is based on...selling Highlevel to small business owners. I would be willing to bet that Billy Gene is making a cut off of the students in his courses for making their own accounts with Highlevel while he has already made money off of them for buying the course. Which is fine, if he is honest about it (according to one of his own principles), but he is not. You don't even learn about the 40% deal until after you are half way into the course and it is slipped in non chalantly. Oh and another reason why I can't rate this higher is that the course is not polished...a ton of misspells, broken links, etc. That's just so unprofessional when he is supposed to be teaching you about marketing. read more

His Instagram ads were very convincing. He obviously knows a little bit about how to sell and target people. So I signed up for the gene pool. His courses are weak. For every hour of him talking you get 5 minutes of solid information, but nothing you couldn't also find for free online with 60 seconds of googling. The rest is him going off on pointless tangents, making bad jokes or playing around with cheesy visual effects. Some of the courses don't have good audio or haven't been updated in years. I think that the courses and online curriculum might be intentionally convoluted, in order to persuade people to sign up for the $5000 training program. I did a call with one of his people about this $5000 program. The pretext was to see "if you are a good fit for the program". At no point did he attempt to figure out if I'm a good fit. It was aggressive sales tactics and fake friendliness from the first minute. Reminded me of a used car salesman. It makes sense when you think about it. Billy is a hustler: He tells this story about how he had a number of businesses that failed, was homeless for a while, until he eventually figured out the paid ads game. I do believe that he has knowledge in that respect and is hardworking. But there's no money to be made in teaching people to be competitors of his, so he has no incentive to give you the real knowledge of how he came up. However, there's a lot of money to be made in sharing a tiny bit of knowledge to a group of passive suckers who won't take action anyway. He's not giving the real knowledge here. The Facebook group is useless. This is a straight up scam program and it reminds me a lot of Anthony Morrison in a sense that Billy is this likable face that seems authentic but is selling you complete trash. read more

I absolutely love love love Billy Gene's content. He teaching style of entertain to retain the info keeps me engaged to learn. He makes what seems difficult to do, very easy for a boomer like me. That's awesome value to me! read more

Really? Folks! before you spend a dime with this guy , offer him this: "Billy, if you are so good? instead of paying thou $109 per month( to learn stuffs i can get online for free by the way), i will pay you $1090! that's right! 10x what you charge me if you can help me earn $1100/ month following you. Offer him that and see what he say? He has nothing to lose but to prove himself to you. read more

I Invested in Billy Genes 10 Day course on utilising AI for marketing agencies. I've found the video fairly straight forward and to the point. I've enjoyed the knowledge that he has had to offer and the funny editing that is done. I would say that some videos do have small editing faults glitches here and there. (I know I'm nit picking but he did say he had 6 editors work on this) Other than that, I can't find anything wrong with the content he provides. read more

Fake guru selling bad courses and bad advice. Check out the link https://youtu.be/q4GDD0WoXXw read more

It is so easy to spot the planted reviews here This guy is the least authentic guy that you'll ever come across in business - I get it-up selling to a $5K course - he has to pay for his Ferrari somehow. I don't see a SINGLE testimonial from a single legitimate business that he actually helped their business grow- the bottom line is that he spends an enormous amount of money on his own social media ads to get a ton a viewership (smart actually) and then sells his funded proposal product at "99% off" (LOL) then upsells to a practically useless $5K product- if his methods actually worked he would have individual businesses with testimonials all over the place and he would be making 10X what he makes- None of that matters as much as the fact that he just isn't a nice or ethical guy whatsoever - This is a total scam read more

I met reps from this company at Social Media Marketing World. I allowed them to talk me into signing up for a free 7-day trial of his training program. This was on a Friday. I asked that they start the trial on the following Monday so it would give me time to get back to my hometown and actually use the trial. Monday rolls around and I get an email with my login information. So far, so good. I checked out the site, but it was sparse; not much training materials on there at all. So, per their rules, I emailed the company to ask to cancel my trial. The next day, they emailed back to ask which email I used. I sent them the info. On FRIDAY, they emailed back and asked why I wanted to cancel. I responded and, now worried, I checked my bank account. Sure enough, they had charged me the $109 for the first month of the subscription. The full 7 days hadn't even passed yet, and they charged me. I emailed their rep back asking what had happened, and got no response. So I emailed again and told them I was going to talk to me bank about disputing the charge if they didn't respond. Beware of this rip-off. I am now having to fight with my bank about the charges. read more

Having been in digital for over 10 years, I have spent a great deal of time, money and energy to become educated and stay ahead of the pack in my field. I've been working with Billy Gene and the team for 2.5 years and continue to invest annually because it is THE REAL DEAL. If you are a member of the School of Geneius, there are thousands of hours of education, 2 Facebook groups, an internal mentorship program, many Done-For-You campaigns and anytime, ongoing team (staff) support available to you. PLUS, about 5 hours of live calls available weekly. Education and information range from sales training to campaigns strategy to tools and automation. Billy brings in renowned experts regularly, holds bi-annual family meet-ups, nurtures and offers family members the opportunity to present - and promote their own products - most of which were developed over the member's time in SOG. YouTube, Messenger, Chatbots, etc. SOG is in the fore in teaching the emerging tools. Even more, we have a great group of fantastic, tightly knit members that support one another. Billy and the team do indeed run ad campaigns for themselves and others. THAT is how they know what they teach. If you are not a member, you can't possibly know otherwise. As I said at the open, "I have spent a great deal of time, money and energy to become educated and stay ahead of the pack in my field." Some of those dollars were wasted because I didn't do what I should have, some wasted because the "guru" didn't really deliver and some were spent for a fairly worthwhile result. Without a doubt, the very best money I have ever spent is with Billy Gene Is Marketing. Hands Down! As BGIM evolves, Billy evolves the training program. As I read these reviews, those that are unhappy seem to be either...much more knowledgeable than an entry level student (get higher level training - which costs more) or seem disappointed that Billy and the team are more education rather than agency. What did you think you were signing up for? read more

I'm so confused by all of these negative reviews.. Billy is an ALL-STAR marketer who cares about his clients' success. I've purchased multiple programs of his and they are seriously GOLD. Most recently I purchased his Genius Advantage program where we do live ad creation each week and it's soooo good. He's concise, right on point, and knows the most powerful frameworks to influence people in ads, and he teaches all of that and more. So worth the money. read more

Billy Gene is Marketing is the truth. I have gone through all of the programs myself. The school of geneius is the best program for learning digital marketing out there. I have a bachelors degree in marketing I spent $55K on. For less than a 10th of that price you can get the school of geneius and get 10x the value my university degree gave me. Although I loved college and the inter-personal development the actual marketing content was not that great. This course and community has been a game changer for me and introduced me to power players I never could have met. The team that Billy Gene has is incredible too. They are very responsive and they have helped me along the way. David specifically is one of their agents and he has been a rockstar at making sure I was good. Thank you for all the help you've done for BlulightFilms.com and myself. Seriously! Like for real. Not on no BS, but for real for real, get the Billy course and join this community. You missing out if you don't. Just wait and see. The hands on learning is GAME CHANGING!!!!!!! Not some crap theory about a marketing campaign with Microsoft on 1998. This is real world, todays times, updated as these social platforms make changes, real deal Holyfield marketing tips! read more

This Its a little smoke a mirrors here with Billy Gene. They claim to me a "marketing company" but they don't really do that! They are more concerned on teaching you how to do that yourself. (insert blank stare here) Billy, your NOT a marketing agency, your a class in marketing. You show how you can crush the competition and get people paying customers and seem very inspirational. But thats not really what you do. You sell how do to what you do. Does that really make any sense? I don't go to an auto machanic to learn how to fix my car, I go so they can FIX my car. I don't go to a resturaunt to have a meal, not for the chef to teach me how to cook. When I saw Billy's first infomercial about how his company can help I was inspired! So I reached out to say that I wanted to hire his company to help expand my company. So then I get an email saying "Billy is not taking any new clients at this time" BUT THEY WANTED ME TO SIGN UP FOR HIS CLASS... REALLY? He is NOT selling his marketing services, he is selling how to do his job? Is that really how the world works? I am going to teach you how to do my job witch make it harder for me to get work because for everyone he teaches how to do his job thats one less customer. But then again he is NOT in the marketing business, he is in the I will show you how to market business. Another scam! read more

Billy is one of the best in the business Super marketing savvy in general and specifically a FACEBOOK GENIUS!! Him and his team are also awesome in YouTube If you're a Marketer looking to learn the trade This is the place! If you're a business looking for marketing, well you're probably not going to get Billy himself to handle your campaign but reach out and he'll hook you up with one of his Awesome Students! And if all that's not enough, Billy and his team have the best vibes EVER!! read more

Only reason I paid Billy Gene anything in the first place is because I was referred to him from a very good source. Not because I liked his "confident- full of shit personality" The group Webinar was alright, didn't learn anything new or ground breaking. I wanted help customizing a campaign for my business so I paid for his 1 on 1 consulting with him personally. The consulting was completely unstructured, I only got a few phone calls, and didn't help develop a winning Facebook ad campaign which was supposed to be his specialty. I would however, highly recommend Russell Brunson program. I got more value from Russell's pre recorded Webinar than Billy's Webinar and 1 on 1 coaching put together. read more

If I hadn't found Billy Gene is Marketing, I would not be as successful as I am now with running Facebook Ad Campaigns for my clients. Billy delivers and then delivers and over delivers some more for his students. Anyone who says he is a "scam" does not understand marketing and sales, in my opinion. This is like saying Oprah is a scam, or Tony Robbins is a scam. They are really good at what they do, yet there are people out there who don't like them. I'm a fan of Billy's for life! He knows marketing and sales & is really good at TEACHING those things to others. Billy Gene IS marketing!!! read more

Just noticed that he has people on his team writing reviews to keep the average up. I would never give this people one dime for advice! read more

Worst fucking marketing course of all time. Huge scam he just like every single. Every high star review on here is either a bot or payed individual this shit is such a scam he doesn't teach a single thing the entire course, just vague rich person quotes and mindset paragraphs. such a scam read more

Total scam and waste of money. Everything you say is free online, on Youtube or on the web. Stop hyping your self up like your the #1 person in the world in digital marketing. Stop selling and give insightful information Facebook advertising, not something I can look up myself online. Peace and love brother. read more

Integrity! I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU because Carren from your marketing department just did a great and right thing. Somehow I was by accident signed up for your lifetime membership when i went to enroll for the $57 one! oh no! So I wrote to service and she responded immediately with a refund. It was the right thing to do--it wasn't a situation where I changed my mind, it was some kind of glitch with the Instagram-based enrollment process. Impressed! I look forward to learning all about these methods with my $57 course and may now wish to sign up for other services because of their integrity in this situation. read more

I had to give one star to provide my feedback. I don't even believe it's worth one star because if their unethical practices. I purchased a 30 day training program that had a money back guarantee. I realized early on that this wasn't a good fit for me and attempted to exercise the money back guarantee. I received a response that said I needed to complete all 30 days and then I would have a 7 day window to exercise the guarantee. The thing is, once I first indicated my desire to cancel I mysteriously couldn't access the program and attempts to reset my password would get no email response. So I guess genius marketing is taking someone's money, telling them they can have it back if not satisfied, then not allowing them to meet the criteria to be eligible to get it back. Billy Gene, to this reviewer, is an unethical scam artist read more

After seeing (and being super impressed by) Billy Gene's ads, I decided to take the plunge and get the Black Friday special. It was only $30 or so. I've wasted more than that on subpar pizza, lol. I figured that if it was a bust, at least I wasn't out of a huge investment. Turns out the value is FANTASTIC! So much info packed into the package. Obviously, it's geared more towards DIY rather than having someone do it for you - and that's where I'm at in my business from a financial standpoint. Of course, the real test is in whether or not I get results - and that requires me to implement what I learn. That's why I can't give it 5 stars right now. Once I've implemented what I learn, I'll try to remember to update this review or leave a second one. However, based solely on the value you get when you buy from him, I'm going to say I'm most definitely a fan! read more

I've Been learning from Billy Gene for about a year now and I have to say that most of my income presently comes from the skills I have learned from Billy and his team. Presently I have taken all of the classes offered by Billy Gene is Marketing and can say that the things you learn in all of them can be backed up by doing some reading in the most popular business books of the last several decades and by trying them in the real world. On his reviews there seems to be a huge debate as to whether or not Billy Gene is Marketing is a Scam so I'd like to put that debate to rest if I can. Distilled down here are what every less than 5 star review has complained about Billy and his business **How Billy acts **Not responding to customer's needs and complaints **Poorly constructed Website **Not actually in the marketing Business **Billy's tendency to sell himself and his services **Can learn what they teach in a $20 book **Billy gene is marketing doesn't use legit marketing methods Let's go over each one of these in detail 1) How Billy acts - Yes there is no hiding Billy's Personality But in a market where everyone sticks with an idea of what is "Professional" what a great way to stand out from the crowd! Everyone remembers Billy after they meet him which is exactly what he wants! Yes a side effect of everyone remembering him is that you either love him or you hate him. Just look at the reviews. It's either a 5 star or a 1 star with nothing in between. 2)Not responding to customer's needs and complaints -First off every business makes mistakes and misses a few customers needs. Just look at google's customer service Secondly I have never had a problem with people responding to me when they are open. Billy prizes speed of execution and rare is the day when I don't get my emails answered in less than 12 hours. Some of their team will even answer my questions and give me the opinions I've asked for even though it isn't their job to answer me or even have a good customer relation with me. Don't believe me? Email info@askbillygene.com and see how long it takes for a reply. 3)Poorly constructed Website -Believe it or not, having a stellar website isn't necessarily a mandatory item to doing well in business in 2018. There are plenty of lawyers out there who charge thousands for their services and have websites that belong on the other side of the century to be polite. Nowadays Billy even has a website that fits in with other good websites of 2018. Again don't take my word for it, just see for yourself: https://billygeneismarketing.com/ Also, is having a bad website really grounds for giving a company a 1 star review? 4)Not actually in the marketing Business -This one is easier to just show you than to tell you. Here is a link to their ads on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzd1o268hFM&list=PLHs7Tb0OaUhRTyPOjsz79alYImsHU1syG&index=16 Are they poorly constructed ads? Do they keep your attention, teach you something and give you the chance to do something with their company? Then I guess they know how to do marketing Not convinced yet? Well here is Billy teaching with a bunch of industry giants like Grant Cardone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5t3E-CpMRE&list=PLHs7Tb0OaUhQCnRz7YREH3FnJiKfYVzDT Think Grant Cardone would waste his time with someone who is just a scam? I doubt it. 5)Billy's tendency to sell himself and his services -Yes he sells his services at the end of calls. But is that very unlike YouTube selling YouTube TV on their platform? No, but yet I don't see people leaving 1 star reviews on YouTube for selling their own stuff. As a business that is your job just plain and simple! 6)Can learn what they teach in a $20 book -I've bought many books, most of them well over $20 and I have yet to find this elusive $20 book that has everything Billy teaches in it. Yes some topics Billy teaches can be found in books. Things like persuasive writing for example because that hasn't really changed in the last several decades. However! Social media changes things so quickly and updates new rules and tweaks their algorithms so often that no book can keep up and stay up to date. Where as Billy and his team release new ideas and strategies each and every single time something happens in the social media world. That just isn't something you can get in a $20 book. If someone does find this elusive book let me know 7)Billy Gene doesn't use legit marketing methods -Is using social media ads a legit marketing method? I don't know lets check google. Hmmm...it says that in 2018 (that's this year) companies have spent 19.3 BILLION dollars in social media ad spend. Here, read it yourself: https://www.statista.com/statistics/736971/social-media-ad-spend-usa/ If companies are spending money in something and continue to spend more money each year then some of them must be making money! ISo is social media advertising legit? Um...Yes of course it is! So I hope this helps clear things up for Y'all read more
