This Method Has Made Billions $$$ – That's with a "B"

According to this young lady Jessica (Can anybody spewing this much hype really be a lady?), the method you are going to buy for $46 has created an untold number of billionaires. This one video claims that the product being hyped here has already created more billionaires than there actually are in North America. And it was really easy and auto pilot!

What Is This Method?

A new and ingeniously simple way … A weird little known technique. It can all be done from the comfort of your home .. using this simple Facebook hack.  All you need is the simple piece of code we're going to give you. And absolutely no cost! (Except for the $46 dollars to purchase this product.)

You Don't Need Anything, Not Even a Brain!

No cost, no website, no nothing, just copy and paste a special code we give you into Facebook.

This is the most unique system of the last 5 years.  Just sit back and watch the commissions come in. Just imagine how much you are going to enjoy spending all the money you didn't even have to work for!

But You Must Act Fast …

Where have I heard this before?  

We Want to Work with Real Genuine Everyday People  

Not those of you who can actually think! We want the people who are so gullible that they will pony up the $46 actually expecting to become billionaires. We know you are going to get rich with no work and no cost – that's why we knew you'd be willing to pay a measly $46 to get rich. And did we mention this will solve all your money problems?

Is This a Joke? Are You Kidding Me!

This video uses all the scammy tricks the young sexy lady complains about in the first 5-10 minutes of hype and goes on about for the next 15-20 minutes, (How long was that thing? Extra Credit: How many times did she cross and uncross her legs?). If you click off this website, you get to see more offers – just say NO!  

My Advice – Save the $46 for something actually reasonable. And if you are the type of person they are looking for who simply can't resist the hype (I can sympathize.), at least be prepared to ask for a refund.

Did You Buy It?

If you bought this product, make a comment and let us know your opinion.

 

Take this miserable job and …

According to psychologists, a lot of people hate their job because … their personalities are not suited to the work they have to do.

If you haven't noticed yet, all the training courses and other stuff you are bombarded with every day telling you how much money you are going to make with internet marketing never bothers to ask you if you like selling stuff. Because if you answer that question honestly, most of us wouldn't buy their stuff. The truth is most people don't like selling. If you're like me, you've spent way too much money ignoring the basic fact of your existence …

Who You Are!

While I was browsing the business books at Barnes & Noble the other day I came across several books that discussed the issue of how personality type affects your job success. These books aim to help you not just to succeed but to enjoy your work because the work and your personality fit together. Now that's a novel idea! But not one you will hear from the internet marketing gurus who are trying to convince you that "Anybody can do this. Even my 12 year old daughter!". 

Are You Unsuccessful at Internet Marketing Because the Job Doesn't Suit Your Personality?

Do you like to sell stuff whether you know anything about it on not like Bill Glazer? Do you think of yourself as a great sales person like Mike Filsaime? Do you like to spend your time talking to people about yourself and your success like Brendon Burchard? Do you listen to Tony Robbins? And yes, it's a JOB.

What's Your Personality Type?

So before you spend another dime on a training program to learn internet marketing, take a moment to consider if it's a job you would enjoy doing. Does internet marketing or even the vaunted "Being your own Boss" really suit you? An honest appraisal will not only help you make an informed decision, but it will also help you decide on the kind of people you need to form your internet marketing team.

 

Here's a New Year's Tip for You

I can't tell you how many times I've looked at an opt-in or sales page for an internet marketing or home business product, and decided not to buy.

Then I get a popup or popover or pop-this telling me I can get it cheaper – apparently because I just said no. Sometimes saying no to that next offer brings an even cheaper one or a free report that might interest me.  [BTW free reports typically have one or more links back to the product I didn't buy on first look. ]

The Marketing Strategy

There's a marketing strategy that says potential customers should not leave empty-handed, and by just saying no to the first offer, you trigger that strategy with reduced cost for you and me if we then decide to give the product a try.

So Just Say No and see what happens. If the sales page just goes away with no downsell offer and you really wanted to try the product, don't worry. Internet marketing and home business offers always come back to life again.

Would You Believe $1,997 to $29.95?

One product I looked into actually went from the first offer of $1,997 all the way down to $29.95. "Worth $1,997, but you won’t pay that, not $997, not $197, today only $39.95", or maybe $29.95 if you didn’t take that bait and just said no. Hard to believe, isn't it.

But if you saw this kind of deal, you might think like I did that this must really be a piece of internet marketing space junk and then feel really sorry for anyone who actually paid $1,997 for it.

Here's an example of a downsell offer I saw today. It's the kind of offer you can expect to see if you just say no to the first offer.

Happy New Year

So You Want to Start an Internet Business …

If you are trying to get into internet marketing to start an online business, think you want to be an entrepreneur, or have bought into the "internet lifestyle",

if you have a trunk full of training products you bought that promised you would make money in 3 hours, 30 days, or 6 weeks, maybe like me you need to STOP, back up and start at the beginning again.

The First KEY Question

Cory Miller (co-founder of iThemes) lays it on the line by asking the key question that we really must answer first. I'm going to have to re-think this myself. I hope you find it helpful too.

"First Key Question:

Why do you want to start a business?
Think about that for a moment. Start writing down what comes to mind. What are your motivations and reasons for wanting to start a business.

Do you want to:

     Get rich quick?
     Live the good life?
     To be your own boss and work whenever you want
     To travel
     To be adored by millions?
     To be the next Steve Jobs or Richard Branson, or Facebook or Google

Unfortunately, I have bad news for you if you answer this first key question with those reasons above."

Sound Familiar?

Does that list of reasons sound very familiar to those of us who have been wallowing in internet marketer hype for a couple of years now?

If you thought it was going to be easy because that's what they told us, maybe they lied to us in their own effort to accomplish those reasons. After you and I answer the first key question, then we can decide if internet marketing is really the right business for us – and go from there.

TMI  

You know tmi means Too Much Information. And as an aspiring internet marketer, you also know that you are overwhelmed, bombarded, every day by marketers trying to sell you more information, but mostly the same old information re-packaged to make you gasp "Oh Look Shiny!, I'll buy that." The truth is that most of these marketers don't really want to give you enough information to make an intelligent informed buying decision. Why? They think you won't buy more stuff from them if they give you what you really need upfront. So today I'm introducing the NEI and the first recipient is the Lethal Commission course.

NEI 

NEI means Not Enough Information. Yes, that's a red warning flag. It doesn't necessarily mean that the product is a scam. It does mean that the seller didn't disclose important information that could affect your buying decision.

The Lethal Commission NEI Example

Disclosure: I bought the $77 product and requested a refund shortly thereafter. The example explains why.

The sales promotion for this product makes it seem as if you get everything you need to make big bucks on autopilot with very little work on your part (red flag right there) because the "Agency" is going to do all the hard stuff for you. For $77 you get the Agency working for you. Sounds great – I like the idea of having an Agency work for me while I rake in the money. And for only $77! Are you kidding me?  

Yes, I'm kidding you. As soon as you pay Clickbank the $77 dollars and complete the transaction, and you haven't even seen what you bought for $77, the marketer pitches the $247 upsell insinuating that you didn't really buy enough from him because you are going to have to do all the hard work of getting traffic yourself. Unless of course, you buy the upsell where upon the Agency will get traffic for you, and you just have to do nothing and watch the traffic pile up. Let's say you bought the upsell, and now you find that real cost of the product is at least $324. And you still have not seen the product you bought for $77.

The marketer didn't disclose any upsells in his sale pitch for Lethal Commission. Why? Maybe he figured he'd lose sales if he told the real price of the product as advertised in the sale pitch. He'll have to speak for himself on that. The marketer didn't disclose anything about you doing all the hard work of getting traffic unless you buy the upsell. Maybe you need to buy even more upsells – I don't know because I was too upset with this less than honest marketing tactic to stick around to hear any more. So for you and me – NEI!

My Opinion

I suspect that newbies get taken a lot by the NEI marketing practice, but I refuse to buy from marketers who in my opinion are unethical by failing to disclose what's hiding behind the curtain. NEI is a rampant affliction among internet marketers, exactly the kind of thing that makes "Business Ethics" an oxymoron.

 

Chris Mentor Me

I've been working through Chris Farrell's Chris Mentor Me course and I find the course valuable for newbies. However, I have a quibble with the sales promotion for this course.

Guarantee – Make Money in Six Weeks or Double Your Purchase Price Back

Like me, you might be enticed to give this course a try since Chris Farrell is promising that you will make money or else he will refund twice the $997 cost of the course to you. That sounds worth a try doesn't it?

What's the Trick?

In week 3 of the course, if you have succeeded in following the directions, you have created a sales page and it is live online. Now Chris Farrell tells you to test the sales process by asking your friends and family to buy the $1 product you created or more likely the done-for-you PLR product Farrell has created for you. So your Mom buys your ebook for $1 and Chris Farrell is off the hook for your refund! You made money in six weeks or less.

There is no further use for this sales page in the remaining course segments, which strongly implies that it's main purpose is to ensure that Farrell doesn't have to give anyone taking the course double their money back. So if you decide that Chris Mentor Me is for you, forget about the refund guarantee and write off that $997. I guess that is some incentive to work through the course diligently hoping you will eventually be able to recoup the cost.

Another Quibble or Two

The sales promotion for the course would lead you to believe that at the end of six weeks, if you have done all the work, you will be making "mortgage payment money." Shortly after the course starts, however, and you have already paid $997 with no prospect of getting a refund, Chris Farrell goes to great lengths to convince you the course isn't really about making money – it's all about understanding the PROCESS! Suddenly, your dream of "mortgage payment money" gets a lot less real.

My quibble with Chris Farrell's sales approach, which is nearly ubiquitous with internet marketers, is the failure to disclose significant information that you need to know to make an intelligent buying decision. Invariably these marketers spring some surprise on you after you have purchased their product. And then they claim that you should have seen it coming if you only paid closer attention to their sales pitch, which in most cases is demonstrably false.

In the case of Chris Mentor Me, there is no possible way you could have known that one of your family members or friends was going to nullify the guarantee by helping you out with a $1 purchase.

Summation

If you are a newbie beginner (redundant I know) or an intermediate marketer who needs a refresher, buy this course for the hand-holding teaching approach that guides you step by step in setting up an online sales process, and write off the cost on your tax return as business training. If you can't afford to spend $997, look elsewhere for less expensive training.

PS If I hear one more internet marketing guru tell me how much he/she is "over-delivering", I'm going to gag. I think I should be the one deciding if you over-delivered. It makes me suspicious when you keep telling me how you are over-delivering. I paid pretty good money for what you are delivering.

Hello hello hello,

I hope this message finds everyone well

Please may I address the double your money back guarantee that comes with CMM.

As you may know — something that is unique about this course – is that if you do not make any money – I will gladly refund you double your investment.

Of course I stand by this – and I always will.

My main objective with CMM — as I have stated many times now – is that you come away with an UNDERSTANDING of how a web business works.

And on top of this – I have guaranteed that you will make at least some $$$.

However – when I offer a bold guarantee as I have done – there can be a tendency for a rare few individuals to take advantage and abuse the system.

Sadly – we have discovered – at least two members purchased CMM – purely with the intention to ask for this double your money back offer. I do appreciate that these are the exception rather than the rule –

Naturally – we need to protect ourselves from the very rare few that intend to ask for the double your money back guarantee — just because it exists..

For that reason – there are some fair criteria in place.

Specifically:

1: To be eligible for this double your money back guarantee – you must have completed the CMM course.

2: This includes creating your series of email autoresponder messages – that link to either your $1 offer – or indeed an affiliate offer (if you have decided to promote an affiliate offer).

The refund is there for those that have implemented the steps laid out in CMM completely.

I know the system works – which is why I have offered this guarantee. And we provide plenty of support to enable those who implement to be successful.

If you feel that after completing all the steps you are eligible for the double your money back guarantee – please do not hesitate to contact us.

Kindest

Chris

Are They Really Making the Millions They Claim?

Have you heard the incredible success storied about affiliate marketers pulling in thousands of dollars per day? They're inspiring, motivational, and all too often suspicious. It's funny — we're raised to believe that success will come to us with enough work, but when we're introduced to it face to face, we often miss the true point of it. While it's easy to see the profiles of affiliate marketers earning hundreds of thousands of dollars and think that it's not possible, it's much more valuable and worthwhile to see those affiliate marketers and scientifically deconstruct their behavior to see just what nets them such a huge income.

It's Not Really About the Money … It's About Your Time

The thing is, most people don't even want a massive income. What they truly want is the lifestyle that comes when you're pulling in a massive income. Instead of having ten-thousand dollars to spend every month, you can just as effectively live your life with ten thousand dollars worth of time. This is where affiliate marketing truly comes into its own — by allowing you to maximize both your available time, and your available income.

Passive Income Is Best!

Passive income is the most powerful tool of all for affiliate marketers. It's the true height of success — having both a lucrative online income along with the time to truly enjoy it. Being able to focus your time on achieving personal goals, maximizing your personal abilities, all the while being able to almost completely ignore the stresses of work and a modern office. No wonder the most successful affiliate marketers are eager to share their success — when you're living a life like that you naturally want to share the secrets with others too.

Start Your Affiliate Success Here …

So how can you achieve this level of affiliate success? It all starts with picking a highly profitable product that doesn't require a huge deal of maintenance or busy work. This free report is packed full of information on picking the best affiliate products for marketing, and optimizing them to allow you to collect the maximum profits with the minimum input.

By applying these principles, you can free yourself from the confinement of an office, liberate yourself from a constrictive schedule, and finally enjoy life on your terms. No more poor compensation, no more endless busy work, just pure entrepreneurship and ultra-optimized work.

DISCLOSURE: I edited this article from ClickBank Pirate. If you make a purchase using my links, I make a commission. That's Affiliate Marketing!

 

$5? What's the catch? Upsells! What did you expect for $5. When will I ever learn. You have to do the NO THANKS click dance to get to the $5 product.

And they even tell you they wouldn't be doing their job as marketers if they didn't try to sell you the $97 and the $67 upsell products. Plus you are now on their list.

Don't you just HATE IT when you buy a product that is going to SHOW YOU THE WAY, and are immediately told that you didn't really buy enough stuff to be truly successful?

Just stick with the $5 product and make what you can out of it. And get off the list!

Cheers,

Ed

Currently … 

I have run eMarketWorks primarily as a blog for quite a while and I want to try another approach. So I'm going to change the format to an opt-in page to see how that works.

Why An Opt-In?

Two reasons. First I can't tell if anyone is really interested in the approach I took with the original eMarketWorks. I know a few people have benefited and I can track some analytics. But here's the primary motivation.

Free High Quality Information

I've invested in so much internet marketing junk that I've grown tired of spending money for training courses that make you pay for freely available expertise. Maybe you have the same issue.

You just may not know where to get the free information or how to use it. I want to provide as much of that free information, training, expertise, tips, etc. as I can right here without cost to you, except for the opt-in, which is basically you letting me know that you are interested in following along.

Expert Research

As a scientist, I have extensive training in research. I'm going to use my expertise to answer your questions, provide tips, and generally help you get where you want to go as cost-free as possible. eMarketWorks has some of what I call "nanotips" scattered about and it's time to get them organized and augmented so they are as useful as can be.

With that, then,

Coming Soon – the new and improved eMarketWorks!

Be hopeful, be fun, be the difference.
