A Direct Challenge To Internet Marketers

The Internet Marketing silly season is upon us again.

During the relatively quiet summer months, I've received fewer "offers" from Internet marketers than normal.

I thought it was because I unsubscribed from their mailing lists, but that can't be the case, because this morning my inbox contained some great, new, unmissable, one of a kind offers that will show me how to make a fortune online!

I was wrong. Despite unsubscribing from all lists, I have today received record numbers of Internet Marketing emails.

The problem with these programs for creating massive wealth is that for the most part, they DON'T WORK.

The only thing that works is actually getting up in the mornings and doing something that will make you some money.

Exclusing things like "going to work", for most ordinary people with limited budgets, there aren't many opportunities to make money without doing some work.

The Internet does produce enormous opportunities to make money, sometimes in abundance.

It also provides enormous opportunities for the "get rich quick" merchants who peddle their latest video, ebook, seminar or course to the hungry army of people becoming increasingly dislillusioned with their day jobs.

Years ago, the get rich quick brigade was a fairly small bunch of people who advertised relentlessly by direct mail and Sunday newspaper ads.

They'd offer ways to make money simply by forwarding mail (that one's online now), or offer hope to the insecure by offering magic potions that would attract the opposite sex in their droves!

The SAME THING is being offered by many (if not all) of the current batch of Internet Gurus who want to make you and I stinking rich.

There's only one thing though.

Before they make you stinking rich, they want to EMPTY YOUR BANK ACCOUNT.

They do this by selling a low priced product.

After a week or two, they send you an upgrade offer. Join their club for just $xx per month. Join their super exclusive club for $xxx per month and so on.

Then, just when you thought you were ready to jump in and put everything into practice, the same guru steps up with yet another email and introduces you to his good friend, who, amazingly, has another great product that he's about to launch and he'd like you to be the first to see it!

If you're not familiar with this technique, it's called "Back End Selling".

When you've run out of ways to extract money from your customers, sell them somebody else's products and get anything from 50% to 100% of the sales value. (Yes, 100% commissions are available, because once the first sale is made, you're on somebosy else's mailing list for their back end sales!

So here's the challenge to any marketing guru with a sure fire way to make money online.

Send me your product.

I'll take a look. I'll follow the instructions to the letter and I'll report honestly on its effectiveness on this blog.

What have you got to lose?

Come on, I DARE you!

Good concept David-

Read about you again in Business 2.0 Good article, I appreciate your success because you found a way to mix the virtual world with the real world.

I have moved from creating adsense sites to developing mini sites with ebooks that I create. I have begun providing ppc management to a few companies and am growing my business strong since we last chatted.

In any event, happy to see you back in the news!
