12DailyPRO and STORMPAY Release Joint BS Statement

Stormpay and 12DailyPro have allegedly released a joint statement. It's in an online newspaper but who really knows if it's true or what it really means. It's just more smoke as far as people are concerned. I still maintain there's hardcore heavy-duty sociopath(s) in the mix somewhere, but I will be glad to be wrong about that:

Tennessee BBB Speaks on Stormpay!

The BBB has just issued this press release - StormPay.com Freezes Accounts
The Better Business Bureau of Middle Tennessee alerts the public to the business practices of StormPay.com of Clarksville, Tennessee. During the first six weeks of 2006, StormPay.com has generated more complaints to BBB than any other Middle Tennessee or Southern Kentucky business.

In the past seven days, BBB has received 18,926 inquiries from consumers around the world checking on the reliability of StormPay.com.

Complaints filed by consumers from around the world state that StormPay.com has frozen their online accounts and will not release funds due. StormPay.com is an online payment processor which acts as an intermediary in the processing of funds between a web site and a customer. “Since the end of January, BBB has received over 180 complaints from users of StormPay.com” says BBB President/CEO, Kathleen Calligan. “A review of complaints filed by users indicate that the company is holding in excess of $460,000” explains Calligan.

An email sent to at least one complaintant by StormPay, states in part “…should you choose to attempt to recover your funds through other means, that conduct will result in the forfeiture of any refund…”

The majority of complaints filed with BBB, concern StormPay’s freezing of accounts from users who participate in “auto-surfing” programs. An “auto-surfing” program reportedly generates money to the user every time a user visits a participating web site.

It is the position of the Better Business Bureau that auto surfing programs can post a financial risk to participants. Often “auto-surfing” programs are thinly veiled pyramid schemes cleverly devised to participants.

Due to the complaint volume, international scope of participants and amount of money involved, BBB is requesting the assistance of federal authorities for further investigation.

The Case for a Sustainable 12DailyPRO


There's no shortage of people who rave about 12DailyPro and there's an even greater number of people who are either skeptical or 100% certain there's "no way" it can work. The latter are convinced there is no possibility other than it being a ponzi scheme.

Admittedly, at a glance, it certainly seems like the latter are correct. I mean who the heck can pay out "12% per day" and keep it up indefinitely? Well, welcome to the world of marketing folks. If you're here, you're here to learn, so do your best to keep an open mind.

I'm not asking you, or anyone else, to believe that 12DailyPro was NOT a ponzi, or that it was even sustainable long term. Instead, what I'm asking you to do is to LEARN from the ideas I'm about to present to you. This is to help you think in new ways, to think analytically, rather than
like a native who thinks that this "fire" must be from "the gods.

Point #1 - Earn 12% Per Day.

It's been said before: They pay 12% on your principle, BUT they TAKE your principle from the start and you don't get it back. You only get the 12% earnings per day back which comes out to something like 3.6% per day PROFIT. Subtract Stormpay fees and the time from Day 12 to Day 17 (or 19) when your returns are "pending" and it comes out to something like 2.32%. So 12DailyPro is only on the hook for 3.6% per day.

Point #2 - They Don't GIVE 12% Per Day. It Must Be Earned.

With 350,000 people in the program, don't underestimate the amount of people who either FORGET to do their daily surfing, or go away and don't have a computer to use, etc. There can be any number of reasons why a person doesn't autosurf on a given day and all mean that 12DailyPro is not always paying out to the max.

Point #3 - They Sell Advertising.

Even I was about to purchase some. Let's see...350,000 PROVEN BIG SPENDERS....PROVEN AFFILIATES.... TRAINED TO WATCH ADS EVERYDAY. Hmmmm, how much would you pay to get at a list like that? Forget lazy thinking, "But that's AUTOSURFING, it's the WORSE kind of advertising. People can just run it then walk away. True, but I don't. When I sit down to use my computer, I'm sitting down to use my computer, period. So I start the autosurf and then go about my business answering emails, etc. Every time a new ad shows, it pops to the top screen and I actually see it. Out of 350,000 people, I'm confident a lot of others are seeing it. And as I said above, we are a 350,000 strong list of big money spenders who know how to get referrals and are trained to watch ads everyday.

Point #4 - Some People Just Can't Follow the Rules.

Some people just aren't happy making $2300+ profit every 12 days. So they try to open up multiple accounts which is against Terms of Service and eventually they lose their investment. If they are willing to break the rules, it's due to greed, and that greed never lets them cash out early...they are usually LET IT RIDE type people. Anyways, when those people get caught, they lose their accounts, end of story. If just 100 people out of 350,000 get caught with $12,000 each month, that's $1,200,000/month 12DailyPro has extra to fulfill their obligations.

Point #5 - Venture Capital.

If a company such as 12DailyPro had begun, theoretically, with $2,000,000 venture capital (perhaps they get it from fleeing other failed ventures, who knows) and that money is invested in medium risk investments, that can help fund any shortcomings in the earliest days. When you think about it, a company like 12DailyPro could, theoretically, operate at a loss of $50,000 per month for 40 months with that kind of capital. Or at a loss of $100,000 per month for 20 months...theoretically of course. I'm just giving you something to think about.

NOW, If that weren't enough....

While I think it COULD be enough if advertising sales were strong and it was managed very well, but as I see it, there would be almost no margin of error. It would be like dancing on the edge of a blade and even a slight error could send it toppling. So then what would make it super-incredible sustainable even after, let's postulate, operating at a loss of $50,000/mo for 10 months, but having developed a HUNGRY list of 350,000 LOYAL, BIG-SPENDING, AFFILIATE AD-WATCHERS? What would make this not only WORK, but explode into a barely conceivable amount of growth and money....?

Point #6 - Make It All Private and Unveil a PHASE TWO.

Phase 1, "Earn 12% per day" becomes private. Those already in get to continue doing the same - even possibly at a lesser, but still acceptable percentage like 8% per day. Since payments were always on time and 8% is still an unrivalled return then few, if any, would complain. But now all of those "CHARTER MEMBERS" are ACTIVATED....they are turned into an ACTIVE sales force of 350,000 people.

I keep emphasizing that these 350k+ people have shown a propensity towards big spending, towards risky behavior, towards getting others to sign up, and towards watching ads for their reward. Just imagine offering such a group 40%-50% commission for any referrals to PHASE 2 advertising packages.

And just who do you think will be watching those ads? THE CHARTER MEMBERS. And maybe the non-charter members who buy advertising through PHASE 2 will be offered a DISCOUNT on their ad package if they just watch 12 ads per day. Are you getting this now.

IN CONCLUSION

Quite often we act shocked or surprised when things turn out other than expected. To buffer the shock, the easiest thing is to blame or lash out at someone. It requires more effort to reflect and certainly not everyone even knows how, or that there is such a thing as reflection. Just pleasure, pain...suffer, blame. But we can try things like looking to nature for answers and solutions to our confusion and problems.

In this case, I pondered the transformation of a butterfly. In many cases, companies like 12DailyPro are not intrinsically evil or deceptive. They just fail to build a proper cocoon and so the transformation never takes place.

Just something to think about... :-)

12DailyPro - Our Condolences to Pepe IV

Poor Pepe IV. You don't know Pepe IV, but this picture was supposed to go into his scrap book as a glorious occasion. It was taken mere moments after Pepe pawned the highly collectible Zoot suit that his late father, Pepe III, left to him that he received from Pepe Jr. before Mexico had repopulated Texas and Arizona.

Pepe Jr had received it, decades prior, from a wealthy business man living just over the U.S. border, in exchange for veterinary-grade steroids and some highly prized jimson weed The suit has a current value of $6,000. Pepe IV used the $6,000, in the good name and honor of Pepe III and Pepe Jr., to buy the maximum number of upgrades allowed in 12DailyPro just before the companywas put under investigation and their assets frozen. Pepe IV was not available for follow-up photos, and rumor has it, from a Santeria priest, that Pepe Sr. is rolling over in his burial site at the ancient city of Tenochtitlan once inhabited by scores of Toltec shamans who, locals say, would have never approved of any of this.

Our condolences go out to Pepe IV."

12DailyPRO RESPONDS!!!

Latest from 12DailyPro regarding Stormpay's response to it's members (see previous post). Who is telling the truth? All I know is that for 9 months, 12DailyPro was paying out on time religiously. Then eGold was axed as a payment processor and eGold never, to my knowledge bad-mouthed 12DailyPro. It wasn't until 12DailyPro, wanting to keep options open to its members and not be hostage to one payment processor, introduced EMO (Electronic Money Orders) to the mix that Stormpay issued a Clint Eastwood-style "There's only room for one sheriff in this town! Be out by tonight!" ultimatum that sparks began to fly.

12DailyPro apparently agreed to axe EMO and go Stormpay-only in deference to what was immediately the best decision for the majority (75%) of 12DailyPro members. Then Stormpay allegedly freezes 12DailyPro's accounts and ever since then every last one of 12DailyPro's 350,000 members have been pulling their hair out and popping Prozac while trying to figure out exactly what happened, what is going to happen, and frankly, whether or not they'll ever see their money again.

So go whip up some microwave popcorn then sit back, relax and as Big John McCarthy says before every single Ultimate Fighting Championship bout.....

FIGHTER ARE YOU READY? (PAUSE)
FIGHTER ARE YOU READY? (PAUSE)
LET'S GET IT OOONNNNNNNNNNN!!!
We wanted to take this time to update everyone on the status of the program and the recent happenings. We know you are all anxious for information. We have spent the entire day trying to forumlate the best strategy for how we deal with the current issues facing the 12daily Pro family.
"1. StormPay did finally respond to our attorney's request for information. They informed him that the reason they have suspended our account was at the behest of their bank. This is completely different than the reason they released to the StormPay members, being that they were concerned about autosurf business models.
2. StormPay also made additional false statements in their email to users. The email claimed that we refused to provide information on our business model. This is false. Mr. McConnell of StormPay fully understood our business model from the day we began processing transactions with them, in May of 2005. In fact, Mr. Connell just this past Monday asked if he could fly down to meet us and explain why we should choose StormPay as our only payment processor. And as we posted in a member news item a a couple of days ago, Mr. McConnell blatantly attempted to blackmail us by threatening to freeze our account if we did not remove our other payment processor within 45 minutes.
3. We have also become aware of some very disturbing news about Stormpay, including the fact that they have a very negative rating with the Tennessee Better Buiness Bureau, with dozens of claims against them. They company was also issued a cease and desist order by the State of Tennessee for financial related misdeeds. StormPay has also begun randomly seizing funds from user accounts, and are currently not honoring some users withdrawal requests. We believe that this is for the same reason they refused to release our funds, because they do not have the funds.
4. In a conversation we had with Stormpay and their attorney this past Monday, Mr. McConnell revealed to us that Stormpay acts as a 'lender', which is not what they state in their terms of service. He went on to exlain that they money in users accounts in not completely backed by real funds. When I inquired where all of our funds were, he changed the subject.
5. At this point, it seems that StormPay may have begun to randomly refund some members money. Unfortunately this puts us in a very difficult situation. As they have blocked us completely from access to our account, we have no way of knowing who is receiving refunds and who is still owed. They are creating a situation by where we cannot accurately determine which pending withdrawals need to be cancelled because they have already received refunds from StormPay. In essence they are creating a situation by where they are spending our company money at their own discretion and not providing us with the information we need to meet our obligations to all our members. If indeed our account is frozen, StormPay should not have access to spend those funds until after an investigation is completed.
6. That said, we are actively trying to determine what legal actions may be at our disposal to try to retrieve our funds so we can issue refunds to all members with any pending withdrawals or active upgrades. In order to insure that as many people can be paid as possible, we will only be paying refunds, not any surf earnings or commissions. At this point with Stormpay holding our funds, we are unable to provide a time schedule for this refunds.
7. Until that time, we will continue EMO payments as we are able starting with the oldest expirations, this would be members who chose to receive their previous E-Gold payments to EMO. Again, we cannot promise any timetable on how fast this payments will be made, but know we will make them as we are able.
8. You will notice that we have suspended new membership and upgrades. We need to take this time to focus on solving our issues with StormPay and getting you all back the money that they are holding under false pretenses. We will continue to update you here as we have more information. "

STORMPAY SPEAKS (on Paid Autosurf Industry)

Dear StormPay Member,

Please read this news update as it contains important information concerning your StormPay account as well as spends from your account to the "Auto-Surf" industry.Traditionally "auto-surf" is a "traffic exchange" industry as to where persons gain traffic credits for promoting their URL (website address) in exchange for viewing websites offered by others. Any monies taken in on these types of "traffic exchanges" are normally for upgrades to have your URL (website) shown at a higher rate of exposure. For an example of how a true auto-surf works, you can visit http://www.autohits.dk/ or other sites comparable.

"Paid to click", or "Paid to Read" types of sites are normally where an advertiser pays to have his/her ad displayed and the end user gets paid a portion of the advertiser dollars for clicking on and reading/viewing the ad. The end user who is being paid for reading/viewing the advertisement does not spend any monies to participate. An example of this type of service is StormPay's own "StormClix" where participants are not charged to view advertisements and are rewarded an account credit for viewing the advertisement.It has recently been brought to the attention of StormPay Inc. that the current rash of new Auto-Surf and Paid to Read accounts are NOT operating in the traditional manner.

Further investigation by both StormPay and other outside investigational organizations/law enforcement agencies have have drawn early conclusions that these types of programs are nothing more than well hidden "Ponzi" or "Pyramid" schemes. While many of you may not agree, or wish to agree that these programs or illegally operated ponzi's, there are many facts that that are unavailable to you, or that may have been hidden by the operators of these programs. Please note that StormPay's user agreement has always banned merchant accounts for these types of activities.

Throughout the investigations into these programs, StormPay has asked the "Merchant(s)" to provide a detailed explanation of the workings of these programs including how profit margins and customer payments are made. These questions were asked point blank by StormPay while on a conference call with the owner/operator and their attorney. The requests for information from the "merchant" were simply denied leaving StormPay no choice other than to report those findings to the other organizations who required the information from StormPay. These findings and reports caused the seizure of funds of the merchant(s) StormPay accounts until all legal matters are resolved. Please be reminded that this could have been avoided if the merchant(s) could have, or would have provided information proving no illegal pyramid or ponzi activity.


[Sam: Why didn't Stormpay do something about this
the first 9 months? Could it be the millions in fees
they stood to make EVERY 12 DAYS?]

Furthermore, investigations and calculations show that these merchants were already at an "upside down" point where they are/were not able to meet the financial obligations made to their program participants. These merchants who were already failing to make good on their claims seem to now be using StormPay as their "Scape Goat" for the failure of their own pyramid or ponzi scheme. These programs are always doomed to failure and for that very reason, deemed illegal. Please site the following from StormPay's user agreement:"17. Get Rich Quick" Schemes: Get Rich Quick Schemes are prohibited resell items by StormPay. Get Rich Quick schemes include any type of self-employment, start-up businesses, or investment opportunity where the claims of profit or returns on investment are unrealistic or unsupported.

By law, if a business opportunity costs $500.00 USD or more, the promoter is required to support any claims regarding earnings or profits with written documentation.Pyramids don't pay. StormPay Inc. and the Federal Trade Commission caution consumers about clubs or programs that promise quick money for recruiting new members. Don't bank on the pyramid promise that someone else will pay you. For more information on get-rich-quick schemes, visit the FTC at http://www.ftc.gov/.

We know that the most prominent question in your mind is "What happens to the money I sent these programs?" Answer: At the moment any funds frozens in these merchant's accounts are frozen and not payable until all investigations are completed. At such time investigations are completed, any remaining funds will be released to the merchant's, or refunded to the purchasers, based on the outcome of the investigations.

Please be aware if determination is made that these are ponzi schemes, a great deal of the funds received by these merchant's will have been used to pay obligations to those who joined earlier into the programs. In other words, they will have used your money to pay other members thus creating a deficit of funds needed to refund all users. Please be patient while investigators decide the best procedures for handling this serious situation. Contacting your credit issuers or banks requesting chargebacks only compounds the problems for all involved, including the merchants and their customers, and delays returns of any funds. These actions could also be punishable by law.StormPay will keep you updated of developments as information is available and allowed to be released.

StormPay Inc."

This is big stuff. I'll keep you posted.

12DAILYPRO vs. STORMPAY - LET'S GET IT ON!!

Dear IMC Blog Reader,

Let it be known that I put my money where my mouth is. I have $6k sunk into 12DailyPro and unlike so many others, I am not even batting an eyelash. I did my due diligence. I scanned the web high and low and found only praise from people who showed pictures of their payments - week after week after week. Nothing but praise and utter astonishment.

I saw my friends leap in and, soon after, saw their Stormpay accounts significantly higher than when they first entered with big payments from 12DailyPro. So I did what any sane person would do: I accepted the risk from the outset. Steeled myself as if my money was totally gone and then just prayed for the best - in the context of having done due diligence and concluding it was a worthy risk. I even figured in my head how such a business model could really work (in a nutshell, take phase 1 private and use them as a sales force of 350,000 people, trained to spend, get referrals and watch ads, to recruit "customers" for Phase 2, etc. That's the short of it, but I am completely confident such a model CAN work and is not necessarily the FEARED Ponzi.)

So who'd have guessed that STORMPAY which had been solid for so long, which had taken on all of the disillusioned, disenchanted psychologically crippled people left in Paypal's wake... who would expect Stormpay would be the one to scream CODE RED and ball up into the internet's version of an Armadillo?

Anyways, here are 2 of the latest 12DailyPro posts. Their communication has been pretty impressive. You know, what doesn't "kill you, makes you stronger." and here they are saying, "Now we're going to prove to you that we're for real!" Frankly, even if I lose my money, I'm getting off cheap. You can't buy an education like this! Or maybe it's just my Napoleonic Hillian positive attitude that has never ever let me down...or maybe it's both!

Anyways, READ ON...!!!

"Stormpay Manipulations - by Charis - 12DP Admin at 2006-02-02 13:22:46

From what we can tell, it seems that StormPay may not in their bank account enough funds to cover the withdrawal we requested and thus could possible be using the account suspension as a smoke screen for their inability to pay us our requested funds.

It seems they may have fabricating the existance of some kind of investigation and suggesting that our account has been 'frozen' in an effort to deflect attention from their ability to pay us. We have verified that none of our other payment processing accounts, nor our bank accounts has been frozen. Those accounts are perfectly fine. We find it very curious that the only financial account we have open that is currently frozen is with a company that has found one excuse after another to pay us a large deposit we requested weeks ago.

We assume their tactic is to breed fear among members in an attempt to get them to place chargebacks so they only have to pay out to individual members in small amounts at a time and thus NOT have to pay us the large lump sum that we requested beacause they mau not have the funds in place to cover such a large withdrawal.

We are still researching and gathering information and will provide more as we have it. "

***************************
"I am personally crossing my fingers and wishing the best outcome for all of us involved. 12DP is truly a life changing program for us *little people* and I hope they will come out of this as strong as they always have with past issues. I have great respect for Charis and 12DP .

It is unfortunate that such good programs have to depend upon payments processors like this one... I would hope that if at all possible 12dp would consider an in-home solution that will protect them - and us - in the future from these sort of manipulations." (respondent's name withheld)
=====================================

Stormpay Developments - by Charis - 12DP Admin at 2006-02-02 16:42:15

We have done some additional research and as you may have noticed, we have come to some decisions regarding our current issues with Stormpay.

We did everything we could to meet and live up to StormPay's blackmail attempts on Monday. We removed EMO, a payment processor with who we have a very solid relationship. At StormPay's demand, we completely eliminated all choice for our members of payment processors and put our business in a very difficult postition. After all of that, it seems that we have been betrayed.

The existance of 12daily Pro has profited StormPay over the course of the months perhaps more than any other of their clients or users combined. They seem to now have a problem with autosurf; we find it curious that they didn't have a problem with taking our money. We have learned that StormPay has suspended many other autosurfs as well witin the past couple of days. It appears they may also be sending out libelous answers to members questions about why we were suspended.

We want to let you know that we have decided to become proactive in this matter, after a full day has passed with no explanation from them of why our account has been suspended. Our attorney has submitted a letter to their attorney via email explaining our postion and requesting a response. Barring a legitimate explanation by Stormpay within a timely manner, we will be filing immediate legal action to recover all our funds by legal force if necessary so we can meet our responsibilities to all of our StormPay members in a timely fashion. We will update you on the progress of this matter. We promise to fight them to the death for money that rightfully belongs to you and us.

In the meantime, since our account has been locked, we cannot at this time make any StormPay payments. We also have been denied by StormPay the withdrawal of funds that we earmarked for the funding of our EMO account. So, this evening we will have to weigh a lot of factors in determining how we will structure a recovery plan for our Stormpay funds as well as determine an ammeanable and fair payment schedule for all members with currently pending withdrawals.
We will have some answers for you on this by midday tomorrow.

In the meantime, we have enabled EMO upgrades again, staff will be focusing on support tickets and the launch of the new program hopefully later tomorrow.

We need you all to understand that this is a very difficult situation which we never could have predicted. There will be a lot of change and uncertainty in the coming days. But know we are doing all we can to insure that StormPay does not bring this program down nor take advantage of members that we have spent months caring for.

We completely understand that you are all concerned as we are as well. We ask for your support and patience at this time. Rest assured we are here working our butts off for you. You can help by not creating more work by staff with support tickets about these issues. We will update the membership as a whole as developments arise in the member news area, so please check it often for new postings.

We will not let anyone destroy this program that our staff and all of you have worked so hard to build.

NOW is the time when we PROVE we are pros!

Butterfly Marketing - The Ultimate Viral Solution!

For those of you who aren't yet a firm part of the internet marketing subculture this might start off seeming like gibberish to you, but try to follow along because it could change your life. And if you're the kind of person who doesn't like to read much then don't miss the buzz. Click here and you'll be taken right to the most comprehensive viral marketing course and setup to ever hit the net:

Click HERE to See !!***BUTTERFLY MARKETING***!!

What's Right Is Right.

Over the past 3 years, many people have come to know "Sam Freedom" as a kind of no-nonsense marketer with lots of original ideas and a sort of disdain for "celebrity marketers" who seem to charge BIG money to people for such little results. But no one gets it right all
the time and I have to stand corrected in this case.

Two days ago, I wrote an article titled, "Butterball Marketing and Humping the Adsense Gurus" which satirized two of the latest big promotions to hit the internet
marketing scene. One of the authors, as some of you may know, is Mike Filsaime a marketer who is well known for his ability to drive traffic and generate lots and lots of cash. A lot of people have made good money off of the "gravy train" that his products and services have
provided them.

Whether you know it or not, Mike is actually a pretty good friend with whom I have both spoken both on the phone and Yahoo Messenger on many occasions. In fact, he even gave me a surprise look at the Butterfly Marketing site long, long before it was ever even mentioned publicly. He was very excited about the concept which is pretty much the pinnacle of internet marketing. Butterfly Marketing integrates and employs every last element of stellar, successful, proven viral marketing in one big package but for a price that will make the average person choke when they see it.

And That's Really Unfortunate, Because...

...from our earliest days in school, we were taught to be good CONSUMERS, rather than good PRODUCERS, or good BREADWINNERS. Having trained us to be CONSUMERS, and not good producers, we are almost always thinking in terms of, "How much will that cost me?", "Can I afford that?", "Do I really need another expense?" And if you don't believe me, that's because of the early training I just mentioned and you only need to take a look at THIS SITE to get what amounts to a whiff of virtual "smelling salts." It is by former prolific school teacher, John Taylor Gatto,


"He climaxed his teaching career as New York State Teacher of the Year after being named New York City Teacher of the Year on three occasions. He quit teaching on the OP ED page of the Wall Street Journal in 1991 while still New York State Teacher of the Year, claiming that he was no longer willing to hurt children." Bio of John Taylor Gatto


That many of us get burnt over and over again is only part of the equation for lack of success. The missing part of the equation includes both "fear of being burnt again" and "thinking like a consumer, and not a producer" that has us missing some
rather outstanding opportunities left and right. For the most part, our missing them is completely unconscious and barely discernible, but the end result is always the same - one remains no closer to financial freedom with a tendency to blame it on something external (as if those who are already successful either a) were lucky; b) were unethical; c) outright stole it, or d) prevented ours.). If we only understood, deep in our bones, a la Napoleon Hill, that the success we dream of is a BY-PRODUCT of a positive attitude that leads to mental liberation, we would not choke when we see a high price tag on something. We would simply ask ourselves what any successful person would ask,

"What Is The Likely Return On This Investment?"

What if I told you that I began like most everyone else, trying to do all kinds of things for free? I thought that if I started off with free services and free, or dirt-cheap products, that I could make some initial money and grow from there. That was only
partly true. Some free and inexpensive services were considerably useful, but most were not. It was when I started SPENDING intelligently, with FOCUS and real DETERMINATION, that the money started to pour in. The more I spent, the more I made because I
started thinking like a PRODUCER...
"How much will this make me?"

Believe me when I say I understand if you have the world on your shoulders with bills coming in and all manner of liabilities, but then you must read, "The
Millionaire Next Door"
and learn to believe and invest in yourself even when it seems hopeless.

Eventually, I made first high quality, high-priced purchase for $2500. Within 3-4 weeks, I was in profit, and have gone on to sell over $40,000 worth of that product. Naturally, it's an investment I believe in so I thought like a producer and took the plunge
and have never looked back since.

Now Before I Start Pushing People "Out of the Nest"

I want you to read this next quote very closely and, hopefully, and really think about it in relation to what I've shared with you in this message:


"Sam,

You are too incredible for words!!!!!

Your suggestions are really deep -- so much so they deserve the time and attention necessary for maximum development and exposure. As a result, I believe they will become firmly entrenched in educational systems worldwide.

I am specifically referring to [omitted], which I had not thought of in this manner and doubt that anyone else has.
Since your initial explanation of [omitted] used in this opportunity for advertising, my imagination has rarely ceased to envision possibilities including all that you mentioned....

...I cannot explain how excited I get about such an outstanding breakthrough in the education of our youth in particular and also adults. I envision your idea as being developed into the next great educational resource of the ages. Although I refuse to continue sharing problems with you, I still draw strength from re-reading your inspirational message with great appreciation for your concern. Thanks for being there. You are truly a blessing. May you ALWAYS be blessed!" - ">
Gwendolyn

Now, Enter "Butterfly Marketing"...

Everything you need to know is on the sales page. It really is. But before you go there, I will repeat my summarization of it one more time:

"Butterfly Marketing integrates and employs every last element of stellar, successful, proven viral marketing in one big package but for a price that will make the average person choke when they see it." because...

Mike Has Removed ALL Risk...!

"Your Total Zero Risk
100% Iron Clad
Money Back Guarantee"

Let Me Make This REALLY, REALLY Clear. Here is an opportunity to not be the average person who chokes on a high price tag. Not only has Mike ensured that purchasers of Butterfly Marketing have ZERO RISK, he has also arranged to cut it into 3 Payments. So not only is there ZERO RISK, but you also have THREE WHOLE MONTHS to pay for it!


THE SALES PAGE GOES LIVE AT 12 NOON EST
"What Time it is Now for EST?"

Click HERE to See "BUTTERFLY MARKETING"

To Finish the Story Which Began this Message...

Mike wrote to me a bit upset asking how I could be mad at him. He had worked so hard and long at developing Butterfly Marketing for the masses that he didn't understand why I had satirized it. So for the 2nd time in my 3 years on the marketing scene, I ate crow and just flat out accepted that satirizing Butterfly Marketing was truly unwarranted and ultimately unnecessary. See, initially, I thought the price tag was a bit too steep for most people so instead of urging readers on to "THINK LIKE PRODUCERS" (which I almost always do and have many who can attest to that), and telling them about the ZERO RISK guarantee, I played to the disenchanted amongst us and threw a pie in Mike's face. Not cool, huh?

Being a good friend, I instantly removed the satire, wiped off Mike's face and insist, for those of you who are ready and really understand the success concept that you need to SPEND in order to MAKE, here it is...


!!***BUTTERFLY MARKETING***!!

BUT WAIT!

Undoubtedly, several marketers will be offering you all kinds of nutty bonuses to buy the package through them. That is an accepted standard in this business, but with Butterfly Marketing, you won't need bonuses to succeed. Offering you excessive bonuses is a way to take advantage of your consumer thinking. I want to liberate your mind, not hypnotize it and further seduce it.

Look to this article and consider supporting a source of consideration, honesty, self-reflection and wisdom. Remember Gwen's words...

"Sam, You are too incredible for words!!!!! Your suggestions are really deep -- so much so they deserve the time and attention necessary for maximum development and exposure."

Get Rich with 150 PRE-MADE Adsense Sites!

There, now that we have that out of the way....

In internet marketing "inner circles" the word is "...never mention price up front." But Sam Freedom isn't about following all the rules. Sam is about following as many of the rules as it takes to be profitable, yet original, and DEFINITELY educational.

So let me just say first and foremost that if you let the price above deter you from taking advantage of the resource that I'm about to show you then you really don't yet have a clue about internet marketing. Unless you literally have a pitbull chasing you around the furniture that $99 should be screaming to you and looking more like this:



"Why $1,000 Every Single Month, Sam? Are You Nuts?!"

No, I'm not nuts. But I can sure buy a lot of 'em! That's because I understand...

I understand internet marketing like most people breathe air - effortlessly. I understand there are risky investments that are still worthy, and many no-risk investments that I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole, but here's one that's about as sure as the nose on your face. Obviously no one can ever make specific claims or guarantees, but when you're hot, you're hot, and ADSENSE is hot.

It is the HOTTEST Craze at present because any bozo can make $1/day in his sleep with a site that has 250 pages of articles peppered with Adsense. Then multiply that times however many of the 150 sites you decide to put up then multiply that times 30 days per month and you're talking...

A WHOLE DARN LOT OF MONEY!!
Click Here to See an Example

And it's residual income...PASSIVE income. The ONLY kind of income capable of setting you completely free.

Now...here's where I bonk most of you over the head and offend the most
sensitive amongst us...

Do you know why so many wanna-be marketers are destined for failure and obscurity? Because most people surfing around are a bunch of clowns either looking to get on a groupie train with some big name marketer, or are overly analytical out of fear that maybe there's a better offer just around the corner...or that they "might not make as much" if they don't do it perfectly. And these, and so much more, are all just EXCUSES!

"But I'm not signed up for Google Adsense yet and don't know!"

SO WHAT! HERE, NOW YOU DO!
Just Click the ADSENSE Button at the Right of my Blog!

"Oh, but I'll need a domain name! What to do! What to do!"

SO WHAT! GO GET ONE!
GODADDY.COM

"Oh, but I'll need a webhost and I've never done that before!"

SO WHAT! GO GET ONE OF THOSE, TOO!
HOSTGATOR.COM

(absolutely the best value -
unlimited sites/domains for only $9.95/mo)

Because I do things like this and now have other profitable ventures in motion as well, I'm free to say what needs to be said.

So, how many more unfreakingly believable hot offers that cost a fraction of what they can return are you going to stare at like they were alien beings? How many more times does opportunity need to KNOCK at your door with a pneumatic sledgehammer until your door turns into a pile of splinters leaving you with yet another COST...rather than a landslide RETURN? In short, when are you going to look at some of these things staring you in the face and just plain say..."GERONIMOOOOOOOOOOO!"??!?!

(for those of you not of the U.S. that's something we learned to yell when leaping from a high altitude.)

Now here...I'm going to spell it out for you one more time.

$1 per day per site X 30 days per month X up to 150 sites with 100s of pages with YOUR Adsense on them EQUALS....??

THAT'S RIGHT! YOU'VE GOT IT!
A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY!!

I work totally from home now and believe me, it's a LOT of fun showing all the previous DOUBTERS my monthly checks!!


Now Click Here to See This for Yourself and GET MOVIN!

Just lookin out for ya...
Sam

What the Gurus Won't Tell You #342

This is going to be a very short message, but if you're in a rush, then just have a look right now. Read what this program does and then honestly, tell me with a straight face, that it is not the best thing that ever happened to you.

http://a-great-idea.biz/x/go.php?c=bsp&s=voodoo3

In fact, you know what? That's the message. I'm going to just end it right here rather than go on because my one and only real interest as a marketer is to point otherwise good, hardworking people, like yourself, who need a REAL break, to the products and services that will REALLY help them blow past the competition....stuff that fear-based marketers hoard for themselves.

Here it is again. One look at this and your jaw will drop, absolutely guaranteed:

The world is your oyster....now, go get it!

Kind regards,

http://www.sam-freedom.com

ps. I made a lot of headway early on in my career online, but man, programs like the one at the link below are what put all of my struggle and efforts into complete and total overdrive. Here, see for yourself:

Christmas Time Means More Identity Theft

(if you're in a rush, here's the link to make yourself an undesireable target to Identity theft thieves: CLICK HERE)


The Holiday Season is upon many of us once again...


...and most victims of ID theft won't find out they've been victimized until 14 months after the crime has taken place. That's too late - the damage will have been done and the victims will spend both long hours and big money trying to undo what the identity thieves have done to them.


While Identity Theft already has the distinction of being one of the fastest growing crimes in the world, the holiday season represents an exponential increase in opportunities for criminals to take advantage of you. That is why I want you to read this. Because one thing is absolutely certain - the crime WILL BE committed - and many, many times. It's going to happen to a lot of people and there's nothing you can do to change that.


However...you CAN have SOME influence over to WHOM it will or won't happen, meaning YOU. You have the power to make yourself an undesireable target. You have the power to make yourself more invisible than the next person. Millions of people are going to be whipping out their credits, whipping out their social security numbers and doing all kinds of careless things all year round and especially many times more this holiday season.


You don't have to be one of them.


And if you think "it's real easy" to avoid ID theft, that all you have to do is just be "extra careful" (whatever that means to you right now), then you really don't understand the mindset of the ID theft criminal. The ID theft criminal does not look like a mugger, or someone on a wanted poster - the ID theft criminal isn't only searching through trash barrels.


Often times, the ID theft criminal can be the one staring you in the face and saying "Thank you, have a nice day!" as you go to leave a store. It can be ANYONE that doesn't necessarily fit the stereotype "criminal" description...which is why it is the fastest growing crime!


While others are pitching you on using their autoresponder service, or buying their latest revision of the 10,000 eBay guides that are already swamping the market, I am glad to present you with information that can REALLY make a difference in your life because there's nothing like an EASILY PREVENTABLE ID THEFT to rain on your parade for years to come. And who can anyone blame when the information needed to prevent it cost less than a month of cable TV?


So forget about clever tear-jerking ad copy.


All you ever have to know is just one person who ever had their identity stolen to know what a frustrating gut-wrenching nightmare of anxiety identity theft is. The only thing worse than watching a friend or loved one go through identity theft is to go through it yourself, and to have your friends and loved ones watching YOU go through it.


Now maybe the massive increase in ID theft hasn't hit home with you yet, but just look at this unique piece of information: my brother played a huge part in helping the area's Attorney General enter office. I know from him personally, and from comments in newspapers, that


ID THEFT is the FASTEST growing crime!


as it is in many other countries, as well, mainly because it's a white collar crime due to cheap heroine making it's way into upper middle class communities. These people don't fashion themselves as "street thugs" and don't resort to the more obvious crimes of robbery and muggings. Instead, they will do what's easiest such as dig through your trash, or swipe your card info in a workplace. Whatever the case may be, it doesn't matter. No matter how your Identity gets stolen, you, your friends and your loved ones are all in for a rough time.


And to think, a teeny tiny inexpensive book with just about all the information you'll need to know on how to both protect yourself can easily be yours just 30 seconds from now.
Many a-time you've heard the saying, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." or "If only...if only I could go back in time and do things differently."


Well consider this the "second chance" and not the first


so that you'll be amongst those who won't have to wish they could go back in time.


To Make Yourself an Undesireable Target for the rapidly growing number of Identity Thieves...




Merry Christmas & Happy Hannukah!

Lookin' out for ya,
Sam
PS. We both know that preventing ID theft is
not one of those things that excites us, like
a good TV show, a drink or time spent with great
friends, but prevention is important so that you
can more fully enjoy those things that drive you
wild in a good way. ;-) Take a look, you won't
be disappointed, that's for sure:

Here's How Much $$ I've Made This Month

Dear Reader,

I know you hear from amateurs all the time, well-intended individuals who have either made nothing or had 1 or 2 lucky paydays and then rave on about how they're making thousands..."and you can, too!" It really doesn't bode well for those of us who really do because it makes our work at earning your trust just a little more difficult each time.

Every day I receive mail telling me that the latest and greatest has just arrived and that, if I don't join immediately, I'm going to miss out on the biggest, baddest, most profitable venture of my life. Amateurs. Why do they lie? And why do program owners let them? Do you? Why?

If you lie, or have been lied to, I want it to stop right now. But I'm not just going to lecture to you on a stump or from a bully pulpit in a self-righteous tone as if I know what's best for you because I know that positive change doesn't come that way. The only time I have ever witnessed positive change taking place is when someone who UNDERSTOOD MORE actually involved themselves with some READY AND WILLING persons who understood less. For each there is a price, and for each there is a result.

The one who understands more pays, in part, by suffering the ignorance the one who understands less. And the one who understands less pays, in part, with his ignorance. In other words, if you really want a positive change then you have to find someone who understands more than you and be willing to let go of ideas that have either never served you, or no longer serve you. And for that, of course, this person of greater understanding needs to be someone you can trust.

Otherwise, the changes you think of as positive happen by accident - not from understanding, but from happenstance, from Nature. And lacking understanding one attributes it to all kinds of forces that are beyond the ability of one to verify. This comforts the individual just enough to allow him to go about his merry way thinking that good fortune is a random event, or left to the mere whims of a Higher Being. Perhaps there's some truth in either, but it isn't difficult to reason that were a Higher Being at some kind at the helm, it would be intelligent and wouldn't just zap people with good fortune. In fact, take a look at what happens with many of those who win huge sums of money...by accident...by pure luck...their understanding of money is lacking and they eventually lose it and/or self-destruct.

That is why most of the people who are reading this post are not making money to their satisfaction and are resigned to chasing around some 19-29yr old kids who... by accident...got lucky. And beyond verification, as I'd said earlier, their luck is wrongly presented as having been from understanding...from some supposed effort they made, or some "scroll that was found by a priest in the caves of Brazil." I mean, the nonsense is never in short supply.

So you must find someone you can trust and be willing to give up ideas that are ineffective and keep you in poverty. It's not your fault that such ideas exist in your mind - you never had much of a defense against them when they were first put there. You can read more about it here in a pdf article that I made available in an earlier post:


There are many marketers who "won the lottery" and learned about things like "Hypnotic Marketing" and "NLP", but not all of those marketers understood their power or how to wield them. They have brought many of you into a group of people who run from one side of the ship to the other in order to keep the boat from capsizing. Quite often, someone not much different than you falls off the boat and is washed away, never to be seen again. However, thanks to viral marketing tactics, you are easy to replace. Did you do it to yourself? Or, did it just happen to you?

Or wait...maybe you think you're not caught up in all that, that you're an exception to all of this and you just happen to be here reading this because you made some collosal choice to be here. Wow! Who the hell am I to say all this, right? Who are you Sam Freedom that you think you can speak so knowingly, with such an aire of authority? Why don't you just [expletive deleted]!

As a group, we may never know why I speak about these things, but, perhaps, a few people can.

Let's bring this back down to the level of marketing for our daily bread:

This past week, I presented two opportunities:
http://www.samfreedom.com/recommends/An-End-To-Struggling

and...

http://www.samfreedom.com/recommends/A-Two-Minute-Movie

Each of these opportunities exists for a different kind of person. The first opportunity is for those among us who are stuck - who feel like they've kind of got their feet wet but they can't get any traction and might even be starting to backslide a little. If the thought of your next month's bills is bothering you right now, or of even any concern, then the first opportunity is for you.

Liz is top-notch and made $100,000 her first year online. She's considerate and dedicated and is going to see all of her students through to a place where they are finally making money online. If you qualify, as stated above, and are ready to shed your ignorance, click here:

http://www.samfreedom.com/recommends/An-End-To-Struggling

The second opportunity is for those among us who have an extreme desire to make a lot of money online but they just have trouble discerning what is a high potential opportunity and what is not. It is also for those who are relatively happy with the results of their marketing efforts but are starting to feel like taking a big step up on the earnings ladder. If that describes you, then the second opportunity is for you:

http://www.samfreedom.com/recommends/A-Two-Minute-Movie

In that, you would be aided by my trusted online partner, Lamar Owens and myself. Lamar has 6 years of solid experience with every aspect of marketing. He has successful webhost services, autoresponder services, a huge leads business and this list could go on for quite a while. Suffice it to say his 6-figure/yr earnings plus stellar testimonials from 100s of people are what attracted me to joining forces with him 3 years ago.

We are taking that infrastructure he already has in place and using it to build our team's downlines. Since resources are not infinite, we too, like Liz, are limiting the amount of people we take into our fold though we haven't come to a number yet. In any case, having made approximately $30,000 in sales in the past 2 weeks, with no sign of slowing down, it's pretty clear to those who have signed on already that we understand our business.

You are either desperately in need of a break where someone will work with you until you are finally making money, OR, you are already making money but just looking for a great place to invest some of it for a big step up the economic ladder. Once you've qualified yourself, and know under which category you exist, choose the proper link below and we'll get to work on creating a positive change for you.

Liz:
http://www.samfreedom.com/recommends/An-End-To-Struggling

Lamar and Sam:
http://www.samfreedom.com/recommends/A-Two-Minute-Movie

As always, I wish you the very best,

Gary Ambrose & Nickelmania - 100% Commissions!

We all have marketers we get along with, and those we don't. Those we don't like, and those we do. So let's just say that Gary and I have never quite seen eye to eye - to our credit, however, things have always remained civil.

Just the same, I give credit where credit is due. I absolutely LOVE the marketing concept that Gary just employed. He created 2 really cool products that will be VERY useful to people throughout this holiday season and the years to come.

But here's what he did differently, he started the package off at a NICKEL....yes, FIVE CENTS. Then the price is set to raise by 25 cents per hour, then 15 cents, then 10....so he states.

The price has already crept up a little! Click Here to see what it's at now!


BUT WAIT!

That's not the hottest thing about it. What's REALLY HOT is that after you buy it, you get to resell it and keep 100% of the commissions for yourself! Holy COW! Do you know what means?

That means....YOU BETTER GET OVER THERE FAST!


Wow, cool one!

Unfortunately, even all the people who desperately WANT this kind of personalized help won't be able to participate because, as I said, she's limited the number of people so that everyone gets high-quality attention.

Anyways, I'm not a "copy/paste" email kind of guy, but I also believe that "if it ain't broke, y'don't fix it!" so here's what Liz cooked up for her friends to share with the public. Two thumbs up, folks. Liz is a class act and you will find what you're looking for in her offer below:

Really, take a look now. If you're having slow (or NO) results making money online, then you don't want to pass this up. Liz is top notch and if you're struggling, well, what else is there to do? Buy another book? Buy another service?

Oh No! Not Another Firesale! Aaaaaaaaaaarghhh!

In case you're new to the internet marketing culture, a "Fire Sale" is something like a "Going Out of Business!" Sale. In real life, a store would be selling remaining inventory at drastically reduced prices due to either going out of business soon, or a recent fire had ravaged their building.
Fire Sales," quite frankly, would be PACKED with lines of eager consumers going down the street because everyone thought they were going to get a super-hot deal. In fact, people would often buy large lots consisting of many things they didn't need, nor would ever use, in order to get just ONE very hot item still at a substantial discount. They reasoned that they could either resell the rest of the package somewhere else and/or give some of it away as gifts.

(note: If you're feeling a bit rushed, you may just see the finished product by clicking on this box):

Fire Sale Profits - Secrets of Successful Fire Sales

It was about 1 year ago that successful internet marketer, Mike Filsaime, introduced the first ONLINE "fire sale." Now, not only do online fire sales offer the same HUGE discounts on large package sales, but they also incur an even GREATER sense of urgency *because* the price of the sales package is scheduled to increase *EVERY DAY*! Add to that, each customer is then offered the opportunity to RESELL the package for FIFTY-PERCENT (or more) of the package price - PAID INSTANTLY! (Since most sales are made at the lower prices of fire sales, purchasers scramble to inform others as quickly as possible because each day that passes represents a price increases, and the result is an unprecedented frenzy!)

Now to cut to the chase...

...shortly after the first fire sales, Mike Filsaime offered an early peek inside the fire sale process in his free series, "Firesale Secrets." This was very nice and helpful, BUT it wasn't really complete; however, since it was FREE, nobody complained. They just soaked up what they could. :-) What followed, though, was an onslaught of hugely amateurish attempts to re-create the feeding frenzy of the original fire sale phenomenon. Every time one opened his or her email box there were notices of fire sale this, fire sale that, and most of the fire sales were horribly lacking in one, or more, areas that had made the original fire sale phenomenon a BLAZING success.

And the plain truth is...

...people starting becoming sick of hearing about fire sales. And with the exception of a few stragglers, most people concluded that the days of the monolithic fire sale had abruptly come to an end.

BUT SURPRISE!

What almost none of us could have even fathomed, though, was that all the while, Michael Rasmussen, another successful entrepeneur and good friend of Mike Filsaime's, had gone deep into his think chamber and started developing the most comprehensive, in-depth, inside look at how to PROPERLY run a fire sale for MAXIMUM PROFIT! This is like the Phoenix rising from the ashes, no pun intended. The fire sale was, is and continues to be THE most effective and reliable way to generate the LARGEST amounts of profits in the SHORTEST period of time - PERIOD! No longer do we have to cringe when we see the words "Fire Sale!" because now, for what amounts to almost NOTHING to those already in this game a while, ANYONE can access ALL of the most important secrets of what constitutes a beautiful and wildly successful fire sale!

In fact, let me put it to you this way.

If ever again should you see a fire sale that annoys you, then you will know, without fail, that the site owner did not study Michael Rasmussen's wealth of information. And to boot, if YOU ever want to make the LARGEST amount of profit in the SHORTEST period of time (and that means *not annoying people* with an amateur display!) then you really owe it to yourself, right now, to pick up a copy of what is going to be one of the biggest "sleeper products" of the decade:

FIRESALE PROFITS!

By "sleeper product", I mean that, truth be told, unfortunately, most marketers are too green (new and inexperienced) to know that other than *passive income*, a fire sale is the absolute next best thing for making a super huge smile appear across your face. Take a look. See for yourself. Here's exactly what I mean...

Sam

P.S. As a goodwill gesture of help and kindness, I will gladly aid
anyone who purchases "Firesale Profits" from this page with a completely FREE WEBSITE and FREE UNLIMITED AUTORESPONDERS to run your very first fire sale. Because I put my money where my mouth is when it comes to helping you succeed!

"FIRESALE PROFITS" by Michael Rasmussen. Get it Now and PROFIT!

The Lazy Pig vs RoboRiches

What's this? First The Rich Jerk took on RoboRiches and RoboRiches opened a can of whoop*ss on The Rich Jerk. Even at HALF PRICE, The Rich Jerk was outsold FIVE to ONE! So what does that mean?!

It means that all we really do is the only thing that really matters: we help people like you discover which product is best for you. Now, The Lazy Pig awaits you.

The Rich Jerk, it was stated, is the best buy if you're already IN Business and need an advanced set of strategies and tactics to super-magnify your results. And RoboRiches, we discovered, is ALSO advanced, but instead of a set of tactics, it's a SYSTEM whereby Brian Garvin, renowned in internet marketing circles, basically says, "Do what we tell you and it will work." Obviously, you have to have some faith in the guy but to his credit, he has proven himself many times over in the eyes of the public.

Then in comes The Lazy Pig! - kind of a nice blend of both worlds. As far as monetary potential, I'd say it's claims are dwarfed by either The Rich Jerk or RoboRiches, but The Lazy Pig concept is so simple and so delightful that once you hear it, your mind will say, "Yeah, but there has to be something MORE."...."There's no WAY it's THAT simple..."

It really is...but you have to see for yourself so I'll let The Lazy Pig tell you himself!
Go see Lazy Pig here so you can see EXACTLY what this totally new strategy is all about.

Your friend in success,
Sam
ps. If you're on a tight budget and need money FAST, then The Lazy Pig is the way to go. But if you've got the funds to spare then AT LEAST 2 of the products mentioned here belong in your private internet marketing library.

Get a FREE LOGO - You Better Hurry!

Just came across this on my sojourns. The gentleman asks for a link back in exchange for a professionally designed LOGO. The thing is, to me, a link back to him is WAY more valuable than a logo.

In fact, how bout you link TO ME, and I'll BUY you a logo?! Then again, it all depends on what your site rank is. If you have a piddly no traffic site that you just set up for this purpose then....

...oops, never mind!

The #1 Coolest Guy on the Planet on Google AND Yahoo


From the desk of Sam Freedom, "The Coolest Guy on the Planet":

Forgive me while I gloat. It's something I do very rarely and never to the detriment of another. But in this case, it is because bragging rights were the goal in this good-natured contest between internet marketers (many of them self-proclaimed SEO experts.) And out of what seems like nowhere, this guy, this internet marketing demagogue sweeps past what must be about 4-5 dozen guys and takes 1st place in Yahoo and Google.

What's even more odd is if you check the winning site's backlinks, there are only 8. :-)

What does this mean? Hmm? Google doesn't honor "nofollow tags" in blog comments the way Yahoo has been, so it's not due to anything like Blogsubmitter PRO. So who can tell me? Whose on the same plane as Good Ol' Sam Freedom here...comment below if you have some wild and crazy thoughts as to why, with only a scant EIGHT backlinks, Sam Freedom outflanked 4-5 dozen prolific internet marketers (some SEO experts) and took the #1 spot in both Yahoo AND Google!sam freedom coolest guy on the planet


All along, I had really hoped Brad Callen had a good sense of humor because I'm a marketer who marches to the beat of a different drum and I really thought this one was pretty funny:


the coolest guy on the planet sam freedom


But then it got just a little bit funner...juuust a little bit. See, people were so curious about my Google ad that all their clicking on it earned it a spot in the top sponsors section and the end result looked something like this...


the coolest guy on the planet whoops brad callen


So, why do you think Sam Freedom has a #1 ranking in Google for a term competed for by top internet marketers with only 8 backlinks and surely less experience, right? And do you think Brad Callen has a healthy sense of humor?!

Until next time, best wishes.
Sincerely,
Sam
