Last Chance For Best Resale Rights Package of 2010

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

Filsaime Resale Rights Going Away (don't pass this up!)

I just got word from Mike Filsaime that he will be pulling his "first time ever" Resale Rights offer down within the next couple of days. If you want to get resale rights to 3 of his best selling products, and get the products for yourself … then make sure you hurry over there now!

This isn't your typical resale rights offer

These are PROVEN products that were created by Mike Filsaime that sell every day. In fact, 2 of the 3 salesletters were written by Mike HIMSELF and the other one was done by a high priced copywriter. So you can be assured that you are getting the rights to sell top quality products, one of which broke records in the Clickbank marketplace when it was first released.

Instant FREE access

When you get to mikefilsaimeresalerights.com, you'll be getting instant free access to the products so you can see just how powerful and relevant they are in the market.

And of course, you get to use them yourself in your businessl.

Hurry now before it's too late!

Once he pulls this offer down, free access to these products goes away too. Then you will have to pay for them to use their power in your business.

"True Story" of how a top marketer went bankrupt

This information was never shared with anyone. One of our industry's TOP Marketers "Comes Clean" and talks "frankly" about his past.

In HIS TRUE STORY revealed here in VIDEO he explains how

- He was bankrupt and never told anyone
- had no money to eat and had to call friends to bail him out
- could not get a job and felt like a lesser man
- could not be a provider and felt like a LOSER
- and had to sell his Wife's "Pride Possession" to survive —– and‚ how it broke her heart.

That was the day his EGO DIED and…

He explains why he is sharing this with you here in the TRUE VIDEO (a must see).

Who is this TOP MARKETER?

Find out WHO here

PS – This video will show you how he went from DEAD BROKE to $25 Million in 5 years and only those who see this will have the opportunity to have his products (because he is releasing the RESALE RIGHTS to them TODAY!). One of the products revealed at the end of the video and it is his TOP BRAND… this is expected to shock the industry.

PPS – Hint: Could it be Mike Filsaime?

Internet Marketing: Testimonials are not typical of most results.

"Hi there my name's Michael Vincent and yes that's a picture of me below:"

                  No it's not.

Did you notice this in the fine print?

*For purposes of privacy, the creator of Underground Cash Secret is using the name Michael Vincent.

That means this guy really isn't Michael Vincent. I wonder whose picture it is. That means you don't know who you are really dealing with, which lowers the trust factor for me quite a bit. Apparently the CREATOR wishes to remain anonymous.

But hold on, there's a GUARANTEE!

My Guarantee To You;
I am so confident in my program that I am willing to give you a 100% no questions asked refund for any reason if you are not satisfied. Check out the testimonials on this site from other people who are making money every day now with my program.

               What does the fine print say?

Earnings Disclaimer

"We do not purport this as a "get rich scheme." … No express or implied guarantees of income are made by ucsworkfromhome.net"

              Did you not hear "Michael Vincent" guarantee you would make money? Maybe you should listen to the audio again. And what about the red Ferrari and the big house and the bathing suits, and … the other expensive stuff? No "implied guarantees of income"? Look up "implied" in the dictionary.

And …

Why is the Fine Print text in gray?

Even a newbie can figure that out.

Just make sure you read the fine print before you purchase. Then the decision is all on you and not on "Michael Vincent" or "Jason". As the Fine Print says, "Many factors will be important in determining your actual results and no guarantees are made that you will achieve results similar to ours or anybody else’s, in fact no guarantees are made that you will achieve any results from our ideas and techniques."

How Did It Work Out For YOU?

If you decide to give the Underground Cash Secret a try, be sure to let us know how it worked out for you.


Copy Paste Systems – Poor Support

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

Copy Paste Systems featuring Paul Ponna as the "Reassuring Voice"

I've been trying out the Copy Paste System during the refund period and I've made a few discoveries.

The OTO Gauntlet – Many Times

First, the whole system is designed to sell you OTOs so when you buy in to get Copy Paste Systems, you get to run the one-time-offer gauntlet that could cost you a couple of hundred bucks if you bought it all.

But don't worry – if you pass them up the first time through, you will get emails constantly reminding you that you can still get them. Maybe they should be called MTOs – many time offers.

Support is Poor

The second thing I discovered is that you shouldn't count on quality support, especially if you are a newbie and need more than a 1-sentence reply to a question. I was working my way through the "Famous Automatic Cash Machine" – how secret could that be if it's Famous, but I digress – part of the Copy Paste website when I had some questions I wanted help with.

I sent an email with my question to support@copypastesystems.com on January 22, 2010. Then on January 25, I sent another email adding a different question. The first answer came back on January 31, that's about 9 days late, consisted of 6 words, and ignored my second question totally.

On February 2, I got another support email answering part of my second question with a nearly unintelligible reply. Soldiering on I've sent another email to support asking if they could please send me an answer I can understand and please answer the entire question.

Good Luck with That

So if you want to give the Copy Paste Systems a try, let me know how that worked. Maybe you will have better luck with support than has been my experience thus far.

Have fun,
Ed

Eric Graham – Poster Boy for Unethical Business Practices

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

Business Ethics?

Do the words "business ethics" seem like an oxymoron to you like they do to me? Ethics is all about doing the right thing. Tricking you into spending your money on a internet marketing program, and then not delivering the goods is unethical – even for a business man.

Eric Graham is the Poster Boy for Unethical Internet Business Practices

We've discussed Eric Graham previously but the beat goes on. If you haven't been sufficiently warned off of Eric, here's another story about his unethical business practices, not to say thievery, you won't want to miss.

Shipping is not FREE

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

 FREE Report, CD, DVD, yada, yada, yada

 

How many times have you seen this. It's FREE – you just pay the shipping cost. What is it about the word FREE that internet marketers don't understand?

How Stupid Are We?

My first point is this. How stupid do you have to be to know that if you pay for shipping – IT'S NOT FREE!

Here's the deal. When you pay shipping, that guarantees that the seller will make at least some small profit no matter what happens because they typically charge more for shipping than it actually costs.

But It Gets Worse … Did you really mean to sign up for a monthly subscription?

Very often in the fine print you didn't read because it was sort of a faded gray 6 point type way at the bottom it says that you agree to sign up for a $47, $67, or even $97 a month subscription to some sort of newsletter, and you will continue to be billed every month until you cancel except that they keep any money charged to your credit card before you cancel. So you end up paying that first month's bill even if you cancel immediately after you realize what has happened. So for that FREE CD the marketer makes money on the shipping and again on the first month's subscription. How's that for slick?

Is your time worthless?

Here's my second point. That FREE offer that you only have to pay shipping to get presumes that the time you spend actually listening, viewing, memorizing, note-taking, and otherwise marking your time doesn't cost anything. In other words, your time is worthless.

Alternatively, let's call your time a "sweat equity" investment because you are certainly going to use this information to make $xx thousands of dollars more in your business than you would have without this information.

Bottom Line

No way is it FREE! So before you click that BUY NOW button for that FREE product, give some thought to how much it is really going to cost you. Then you can make a thoughtful and perhaps even wise decision.

Internet Profits in Your PJs? – Review: Don’t waste your time

Saturday, December 12th, 2009

The Holly Cotter Story

Holly Cotter’s rags to riches story is inspirational. There’s no doubt about that. But I’m sorry about this …

"Internet Profits in Your PJs – 36 Secrets to Creating Multiple Income Streams … on Autopilot"

Out of respect for Holly, I would like to put this politely, "This book is drivel."

A total waste of your time. Let’s say you value your time at minimum wage (I hope your time is worth more than that, at least to you, but let’s just say.). The 2-4 hours you might spend reading every word of this book costs you between $16 and $32 roughly speaking. That means the book is not FREE.

Out of Date and Out of Link

The book is copyright 2006. I found that most of the links don’t work and those that do are obvious shills for stuff that Holly sold off.

36 Secrets – Are You Kidding Me?

Here are some stunning samples of these amazing "Closely-Guarded Multiple Income Stream Secrets".

Secret #1 – There is a HUGE difference between “owning a business” and “being self-employed.” — Bet you didn’t know that.

Secret #5 – You must generate steady profits with one income stream before adding another income stream. — Geez, why didn’t I think of that.

SECRET #16 – It’s easier to make ONE sale than it is to make two sales. — Wow, this is almost mystical.

Secret #34 – To successfully build multiple passive streams of income, you must focus on building only one income stream at a time. — Oh wait a minute, wasn’t that Secret #5?

SECRET #35 – Patience is the key to your success. — Now that is REALLY a helpful secret – please don’t spread this around or everybody will know and we’ll lose our competitive advantage.

Sorry for the sarcastic comments, I couldn’t help it.

There’s No Substance

After you have read and absorbed every word of this book, you will know how to do … nothing! The book tells you what worked for Holly in a general sort of way, but not how any of it was actually done. There’s no step-by-step to duplicate.

Aha! That’s why all those almost functional links at the end of the book – you have to buy more stuff to make Internet Profits in Your PJs. And that’s the real point of this book. Holly sold a lot of her websites and changed her business model which you can see here.

An Impressive List of Testimonials – Huh?

When I reviewed the names of the "experts" whose testimonials appear at the front of this book, I actually learned something about internet marketers. A lot of well-known names are there, and I am having a hard time with that. Maybe they didn’t actually read the book. The alternatives are 1. they produce the same kind of internet marketing vaporware and so think this book is marvelous, or 2. they don’t actually know anything and have testified to their ignorance by giving these testimonials.

The Bottom Line

You won’t learn anything useful from this book. Let the buyer beware .

 

Update on Get Your First Sale Online – the Amazon.com Secret

Friday, December 11th, 2009

The Great Amazon.com (Secret) Experiment

I thought I would let you know how my experiment with an Amazon.com seller account went. Hopefully I saved you $17 on that Matt Bacak thing.

How I Made $4.37 Profit in Only 1 Week!

Here’s how I made $4.37 profit. How Matt Bacak managed to pay all his bills doing this I’ll never know.

I uploaded 6  books following the instructions at Amazon. It took about a week before any sold and then I got a notification from Amazon – Do Not Ship. My first order ended up being cancelled because there were payment problems with the purchaser.

Then lightening struck and I got 2 orders on the same day.

Book One

This book, "The Irresistible Offer" by Mark Joyner, sold for $7.38 [Remember this is a used books - Condition - Very Good - Amazon provides guidelines for describing Condition to the customer] + $3.99 Shipping Allowance = $11.37 Charged to Customer.

Amazon Fees: Variable Closing Fee = $1.35, Fixed Closing Fee = $0.99, Commission (minimum 15% on books) = $1.11.  Total Amazon Charges: $3.45. Bubble mailer = $1.39 and Postage = $2.38 (Media rate). Total Shipping Cost = $3.77.

Net: Total Charged to Customer – Amazon Fees – Shipping = $11.37 – $3.45 – $3.77 = $4.15 Pure Profit!

Book Two

 

This book, "After the Affair", sold for $2.75 [Remember this is a used books - Condition - Good] + $3.99 Shipping Allowance = $6.74 Charged to Customer.

Amazon Fees: Variable Closing Fee = $1.35, Fixed Closing Fee = $0.99, Commission = $0.41.  Total Amazon Charges: $2.75 [Same as the book price!]. Bubble mailer = $1.39 and Postage = $2.38 (Media rate). Total Shipping Cost = $3.77.

Net: Total Charged to Customer – Amazon Fees – Shipping = $6.74 – $2.75 – $3.77 = $0.22 Pure Profit!

So I banked $4.37 net. I would still have a ways to go to earn the $17 for the Matt Bacak course if I hadn’t asked for a refund. I commend Matt Bacak’s organization for the courtesy and promptness with which they attended to my refund request.

If this is your idea of how to Make Your First Sale Online, go for it. If nothing else, you will gain some experience and confidence. Just don’t count on paying your bills this way.

Meanwhile …

The other 4 books are still sitting in my inventory at home awaiting notice from Amazon that I should ship them.

Wait – another ship notification just came in and I stand to make $0.40 on this order so bye for now – I have to get "The Case for Christ"  shipped.

 

All the best,

Ed
