This kind of crap just pi**es me off!
I came across an interesting post at the Warrior Forum a few minutes ago and it made me so mad I felt I had to write this.
Actually, it wasn’t the post itself that got my goat. It was what I discovered about the forum member who made the post.
His post was simple… he said he has no money and no job and needs to make $400 by July 11th. He was asking for ideas on how to do that.
Being curious about the guy, I clicked through to his profile and what I saw appalled me to the point that I had to call him on it right there in the forum.
He didn’t even get my point and he seemed to think it was a joking matter!
I had intentions of putting the link to the forum thread here so you could view it for yourself, but it disappeared while I was typing this. I’m not sure how, because as far as I know only the forum moderators can delete threads and they had no reason to delete it.
Since I can’t post the thread I’ll give you the jist of it…
As I said, he was asking how he could make $400 by July 11th with no money for advertising or anything. I clicked through to view his homepage and what I read there told me this guy was so full of sh*t it’s turning his blue eyes brown!
I really don’t want to send traffic to his website, but I do want you to see his Rich Jerk style sales tactics to understand how completely full of doo-doo he is. So go read it here:
My reply to his post basically said that I don’t understand why he’s broke and in debt because according to his home page he makes a fortune online so his ebook must not work as well as his sales letter claims it does.
I went on to point out that also according to his sales letter with his "large volume of sales" and the price he charges for the ebook it won’t take him very long to make $400.
And I couldn’t help one final thought to finish off my reply to his post. I told him that while his sales letter implies I’d be a "f*cking idiot" not to buy his ebook, I think I would be one if I did buy the ebook.
He replied to my post within a couple of minutes with "LOL yea, my page is still being worked on."
I wrote back that apparently he didn’t get my point at all and I mentioned something about deceptive advertising. Then the forum thread disappeared.
This guy is a classic case of bullsh*t in action!
Please, please, please always do your due diligence before buying into
someone’s BS! I know it isn’t always easy to know what’s right and wrong or who’s telling the truth and who’s not.
Here are some things to watch out for, taken right off this idiot’s sales page:
1. If you look at the top of the page you’ll notice he’s using free web hosting from GoDaddy.com. But according to the sales page he’s rich, so why doens’t he pay for hosting?
2. Inconsistencies in information… take a peek at the ClickBank screen shot. He’s actually pieced together information from 2 different time frames and they don’t even come close to adding up.
The first part shows sales from 2001-2002! The next part shows ClickBank totals for pay periods ending 9/16/06 and 10/1/06!
3. This one is hilarious - look at the newsletter opt-in form. He didn’t customize the directions for filling it out and apparently doesn’t know enough to remove the text that comes with the form!
If you’re not familiar with a person or product check with your friends. You can also look for reviews about the product or the marketer by doing a search at your favorite search engine. Find out as much as you can before you buy anything from anyone.

Gee…I am no rich jerk making false claims , in fact i am struggling on a pension to keep my family fed and offer traffic exchanges. Tell you what, if you can show me how to get out of debt I’ll split everything I make with you!
That’s sincerety, not hype.
I keep seeing these programs that supposedly help you to learn how to do this,do that and since last year probably spent enough to buy a new couch!
However i am actually looking at buying a report on how to make good videos for youtube to get traffic.
Like I said, show me how to make some real cash instead of a couple hundred bucks every month off my exchanges and i will split it with you forever.
Just a Dad trying to put his kids through school.

I even wrote Michael Rathmausen (freeadvertisingforum.com) last week to see if he could help me.
He replied like the gentleman he always has been and has a program coming out in a couple months that would help increase my income.
But he personaly doesnt have time to one on one mentor right now.
I hate hard sales,phone calls and the likes…thats for seminar related people.
I am no showcase, just need a hot new product and a way to make money with it or?
Can you help?
