Brianna K: Marriage & Margs on the rocks | Part 4

[LilCarrot]

How did she come up with $997, that’s so random. If she was called to help people from the “Holy Spirit”, she wouldn’t be charging. She’d just post the videos on her regular channel. What a scam.

It's a mental trick that is popular. It's in a lot of today's sales topic books.

The old way (first half): you want to price it at 1000, but you do 999 because it feels like less because it has less numbers and is technically.
+
The newest part: anything ending in 7 is a psychological trick that apparently the masses are drawn to for some reason.
=$997

Also the offer of $997 or 3x$400 is very common in online courses. They put the original amount just out of most people's reaches so people will opt to do it over the 3 installments because that's all they can afford. Then, they make more money that they justify with 'risking' taking them on without paying the full amount. It's just predatory behaviour.

ahhhh ok, so it’s $997 upfront or $1200 over 3 installments. sheesh, the installments option is a 20% increase from the original price. that’s a bit of a gouge.

Yep. And people will pay it happily too. Absolutely blows my mind.

I don't think I've even seen a list of areas covered? Is she 100% depending on people buying the program just because they are her fans?

Also, there was very little build up, just a few hits that 'something' is coming - but every YouTuber does that all the time. Most people would be starting from 3 months out to hype everyone up so that when it opens, everyone is waiting for it and they purchase it (with the money they have planned to spend on it) Did she just come up with the idea last week or something?

[IcedCoffee]

I noticed she was telling people they could save $100 for Galentine's. Still a hard nope from me.

I find it kind of bad (for her, for advertising) that she says if I can do it anyone can. Yeah well you didn't have a program Bri, you just did it.

Guarantee that her $1000 course is methodically offered at TAX REFUND TIME

That crossed my mind too.

The thing that really bothers me about her is that she's full of contradictions. She says shes Christian but didn't mention Jesus once around Christmas time. She says she's a stay at home mom but also claims to be a business woman. She claims shes all about empowering women and uplifting her tribe but then prices out 99% of them for a You tube 'course.'

I feel like she either doesn't know who she is which is sad or she is calculating and manipulative to ensure views and followers which is gross. She's just not believable.

Also , it drives me NUTS to see her cleaning videos with no kids in sight. Like, hello, this is not reality for moms let alone SAHM. Let me see you fold laundry while your kids jump in the piles or roll all over your bed while you try to make it. At least that would be relatable .

She sure did lawyer up to protect herself from being sued in her course TERMS OF AGREEMENT.

BUYER BEWARE!!!

In Thursday's vlog she says at 5:45 "I can promise you that if you invest in this course and if you commit to doing YouTube, the cost of the course is going to pay itself back 10X!"

Sounds like she is guaranteeing that you will make at least $10,000 if you buy her course. Does it seem like she is trying to cover her *** and protect herself with the following legal blah-blah-blah???

Wouldn't police reports/calls be public record? I wasn't able to find any.

Do to changes in disclosure laws, police reports on domestic disputes are mostly kept private.

However, most court records are public and there are plenty of those tied to that family / address.

Wow - there are a lot of court records tied to the house she grew up in.

Restraining orders, menacing, stalking, harassment, assault, disorderly conduct, criminal trespassing, ...

And who is Cynthia???

[ds1158]

Helloooooo? Where did Bri's Mom go? It's awfully quiet around here now.

PLEASE COME BACK - WE MISS YOU!

[IcedCoffee]

She said 6 "more" women have signed up. So 6 = $5982 or up to $7200 with that payment plan penalty. Plus... however money others have signed up. I think these oil moms are selling the wrong product.

[AryaStark]

Geez reading all the rules all that time for a lawyer to draw up is so expensive. No wonder the course is a thousand someone has to pay her lawyer fees.
And the comment about not mentioning Jesus thank you I have always noticed she and Tiff do that. That’s also a ploy to prey upon a specific group of people to get you to trust them and appear like minded.

[luxe0780]

she has a force majeure clause for an online course?? clauses like that are typically found in large infrastructure projects and contracts for building developments?! guess they’ve got all their bases covered!

meh good luck to her and the course. she’s probably worked hard on it and it’ll probably (i hope anyway) be useful. worth the money? i can’t say, i do hope nobody gets into debt for it and then has no success with it. that would truly suck.

i agree, more info on the course content would be good, she could do an insta post with a few bullet points stating the major topics covered by the course.

The thing is, some women really do idolize her. Look at Tiffani with her oil thing. Some of them loved the spa night because it made them feel part of her world. And they probably would go into debt. I don't know the statistics on how many YT channels there are, how many succeed but they won't all succeed. It's sad. I kind of want her to shout them out BUT I have been critical of Bri (and others) shouting out things they don't actually believe in. So I'm mixed about it.

So many Americans live from paycheck to paycheck, I can only assume it's like that in or her places but the articles I've seen are US based and the statistics are scary.

[luxe0780]

are you based in the US too? i’m aussie and people here live the same way. a close friend of mine is grossly in debt, it’s actually scary. people are one pay check awst from being homeless. that’s not cute nor glamorous.

look bri is running a business. it’s up to the buyer to decide whether the investment is feasible for them or not. it’s not up to bri to worry about everyone’s financial well-being. end of the day, she’s there to make a buck. i have no doubt the course is probably well put together, why would she risk her own reputation flogging a crap course. i do think it’s very costly and she’s excluding a lot of people by pricing it that way, but it’s her call.

end of the day, there’ll always be people that but shit they can’t afford or do things to impress others. she’s making a living like the rest of us.

[jazieg]

Two things. The Terms of Conditions can be pulled from online and modified by her. She didn't need a Lawyer to write it up. It's simple contract terms. Actually nothing specific to her even in it. Just the word course.

They must of made last minute VDay reservations or they enjoy just so so food.
Austin's where they went last night is overpriced and not all that good... I've been there a few times. Hoping each time would be better, but nope.

Wow kind of can’t believe this. What the hell is happening with all these bimbos. Don’t think Aaryn will follow suit, even before the fight between them all or whatever I always got the vibe that aaryn did not like bri. Which isn’t surprising at all

I think even the ones that "Get on" are still frenemies at best. At the end of the day they are all in contest with one another.

Probably true. But I’m here for anything that pisses off Trashi Beaston

[SunnyDays]

Those look like very normal terms of agreement to me and it's good that she has them

[QueenMaleficent]

At the completion of the Course, you will receive a certificate evidencing your participation in, and completion of, the Course.

Oh wow, people get a certificate from a random woman in Ohio. That carries a lot of weight, doesn't it?
If I wanted a course in how to make the best of Youtube, I'd want the certificate from Youtube where it would mean something. I wouldn't trust giving that amount of money to a woman who doesn't have anywhere close to a million subscribers, either. Those big name Youtubers are the people I'd trust more to know how gain success on the platform, not a woman who tries to makes channel changes and goes right back to the same video time after time. I question her integrity here.
I think Brianna has a definite talent for entertaining and decorating for events but as for being a business guru, I wouldn't trust my tax return going toward a course that isn't backed by anyone reputable.

Me, too. I'm sad Bri added her back. I was so happy when she unfollowed Tiffani the parasite. Myka unfollowed and refollowed Tiffani as well, makes me wonder if Tiffani talked with them or if Myka is still just trying to support Bri. (I agree with the theory that Myka never liked Tiff and she was friendly with her for Bri's sake)
