To be an effective online guru, you have to be an obnoxious, insecure, childish egomaniac willing to spend hundreds of hours ranting like a pissed off 8-year-old in public to convince everyone that you must be worth listening to out of sheer repetition. I hear it pays well for those who are willing to put themselves on that level in public. The question is, how much is your dignity and integrity worth to you? The "gurus" have already determined their price tag. Someone once told me in private that a particular guru was "the slickest con man he had ever seen". That's basically what it takes.
