Actually I didn’t. And I won’t. sorry. One of my favorite gurus sent me the link to this very special webpage. Actually that isn’t true either. He is becoming one of my least favorite gurus because he has joined the Pimp More Club and the offer isn’t all that special.
Does every Internet Marketer use the same salescopy writer? Seems like they do. Maybe they all bought the same ebook or video series to write their little epic for trying to sell their technique. Instant Payday Formula is different in only that it is a chick that is doing the pimping. Seems like more women would get in the game. Studies indicate they seem more honest at selling shit. But unfortunately this one went to the same salespage class that all the other d-bags attended. Same sad story of previous failure. Lots of hard work figuring things out. Joy at discovering the method. Afraid that other guberus will end her life for daring to publish the secrets. This one even throws in the faux outrage over the gurus and being “fed up” with them. But that doesn’t stop her from using the Big List Builders to shove out the offer on her behalf. Their symbiotic dance is mesmerizing.
Are there really that many secrets left? Is a secret a secret if you tell anyone? I build sites full of keywords and get backlinks. That’s my secret. Most fail. Those that do not make me some money. I sit down and build 10 Ebay/Blogger frankensites at a time knowing full well that 9 of them will suck ass. But the one non-ass sucker will make money.
I’m tired of seeing, yet oddly entertained at, these ebooks and videos of “instant payday”. The true instant payday formula are these long-winded, marketing rich, 74 page salescopy epics of sadness, perseverance and joy. That is the brilliant formula.
Ever wonder why they all read the same? It’s as if the real secret is one that teaches you how to coerce, convince and yes, swindle, money out of the pockets of those that get sucked into whichever tale is spun. One salecopy could be the sad, yet uplifting, rags to riches story. Another might be our hero who discovered the secret and feels compelled to share it with the peasants. The formula is getting overused and tired. Sort of like me writing this post.
If you do choose to buy Instant Payday Formula, for God’s sake click away from the offer. An agent is waiting just for you to give you $20 off the purchase price, if. you. would. just. give. it. a. chance.

Great review, but I am not sure whether to buy this or not as there are no references to gaining competitive advantage, specifically, with regard to competitors there are no references to Martial arts (Ninjas, Samurai, Nunchucks..) or Armageddon (nuke, annihilate etc).
This has me wondering whether payday formula really know their stuff.
Also, I like ebooks where 40% of the page is consumed by the header and footer… and extra large fonts are used.
You should be able to finish a quality “no fluff” “no waffle” 100 page ebook in no more than 3 minutes.
I also like to see at least 30 pages dedicated to the email and sales copy that sold me the book in the first place, just in case, half way through I forget why I am reading it.
Hi Splork,
The unfortunate thing is that there is an endless conveyer belt of newbies who haven’t yet been jaded by months or years of trying to make money and failing. That’s why I like the ‘site build it scam’ movement that Griz started. Newbies need to be informed and given the option of reading real life ‘non affiliated’ reviews.
I feel sorry for the newbies today. They have no idea how much money they are going to spend just going round in circles.
Splork,
Nice to see you include a link to the widget you just “reviewed”. It sure piqued my curiosity to click on it.

Those “74 page salescopy epics of sadness, perseverance and joy” are that way for a reason, ol’ buddy. Humans have been story tellers from the days of the cave dwellers. And it’s natural that, when somebody tells a story, the others listen. Listening kicks your logical mind out of gear, and presto! You believe the story! Sign up! Sign up!
Most of the time when a new Make Money product is release all the gurus will recommend it. Is this what you called Joint-Venture scheme. I wonder?
Sometimes. Mostly the person releasing the product will call up their Big List Builders and tell them the they are releasing their junk. This will give them a head start to start pimping their useless bonuses if you buy from them. The main seller will also have contests for the BLB to see who can sell the most product. This will result in prizes and bonuses and high fives all around. And the circle continues.
“And the circle continues.” ahhh, you meant, “And the circle jerk continues”
Is there are purpose for the unbearable length of these things?
The continuous string of Noobs willing to buy this stuff must be amazing. Every single day a number of new Noobs think to themselves ” hmmm, I wonder if I can quit my job and make money online even though I don’t have a computer, money, a brain, motivation etc.. Then while at work they type in (Make Money on the internet and stay home too) And Viola! It is confirmed that they can indeed make money online…yeah… for 97$ you receieve the key to THE LIFE.
Four quick comments:
“Are there really that many secrets left? ”
There are no new fundamentals. Beware of someone trying to sell you newly manufactured antiques. (Jim Rohn)
“Is a secret a secret if you tell anyone?”
Three people can keep a secret — if two of them are dead. (Mark Twain)
Like the mini-infomercials for schlocky products on TV that mysteriously are all priced at $19.95, why are virtually all IM products priced @ $97? (because it’s just under $100?) If this shit was offered in hardback at Barnes and Noble, no one would pay a dime more than $29.95.
“Kim Roach”? I’d at least change my name.
Hi Splork,
not really relevant to this post (or there again, I guess it is).
I know you are a big fan of Store Tracker and was wondering if you were looking into Scott Trimble’s latest offering – Blog Solution.
I’m actually interested in this, BUT, to me it seems just like another blog software I use – Blogs Organizer (not referred to in their comparison charts and slightly cheaper – but not that much). Mainly used in adult, I’ll admit, but supposed to work pretty good with mainstream too.
Only asking here because I am actually curious about Blog Solution, but, if it’s the same as something I already own and which is ‘tweaked’ in more or less the same way, even using the BS (sorry, Blog Solution lmao) ‘special’ one dollar deal, means getting everything set up all over again and could just be a waste of time.
And, of course, once it’s all set up you need to buy it anyway.
Just curious….
But if you like it (truly), you can always throw an affiliate link my way
Splork I am devastated! I saw your title: I bought Instant Payday formula and thought gosh it must be good cause Splork has bought it and he only buys good stuff! And you didn’t buy it – you didn’t even try it! Oh well- I think I will go back to site build it!
Hey Lis. Ha, yea you probably need to start simple. SBI is for you!
Hey Zania. Yea I like StoreStacker. I’ve seen the email for Content and Blog Solution. I would be more interested in ContentSolution to tell the truth. I just have no desire to blast hundreds of blogs out to the Internet with a product like BS. Seems like it is a product best suited for the big time player with multiple dedicated hosts. Those products have been available for a couple of years now. If they are anything like SS then they’ll be good quality.
I didn’t have to buy it to see what it was. The product owner allowed Google to index their members area. How careless.
Most of the time when a product launches I do a Google search before I even think about spending my money.
Thanks for your reply Splork, especially as your post was on the subject of Instant Payday Formula.
(and my question was not…)
Seems like I’m probably better off using the system I’ve got (rather than BS).
At least the one I own churns out hundreds of light weight blogs on a relatively cheap shared host and feeds to hundreds more wherever I like to send them.
And even if BS does the same, why bother to buy it, when I’ve got something which is doing that already?
Maybe it does something else useful as well, but nothing which strikes me as new.
But there again, I’m not a big time player, lol! (Wish I was
) maybe I’m missing something.
Thanks for answering my out of context question on your post about Instant Payday Formula.
That’s true “Jay | kpfingaz”, and almost 97% of the eBooks out there give out the same info over and over again, which is really annoying.
Splork, you sneaky little devil…
Few comments.
Bashing someone with no constructive criticism and without even seeing it is just as bad as promoting useless crap. In fact, it is still promoting useless crap (especially when you have an affiliate link). I’m stating the obvious here, but just in case a newbie comes over.
Speaking of which, if you cared the slightest about newbies you would in fact try to help them, and not throw your rants at them.
Continuing your theme of thoughts, the biggest scams in the world are universities. And that is outrageous. I mean, why the heck would I pay 30k or whatever a year when I can get the same knowledge in public library for free? And you call mailing list pimps scammers…
Give the guys a chance to earn, will ya. Even rehashing the same thing over and over again has some value, and the price is relative.
There are definitely some artists that are worth to be shot but facts must come first. That’s what would help newbies – facts and constructive criticism.
People are of course stupid, lazy and have too much money on their hands so they buy this stuff over and over again, while one product bought and implemented would be more than sufficient. But that’s their problem.
One thing I very much agree with though – the mile long pages must go. Seriously. Websites can have multiple pages – use that.
I didn’t start or maintain this blog to teach newbies. Maybe my rants will get them thinking before rushing off to buy something. I simply give my opinion about the crap in Internet Marketing. You don’t even want me to get started on what I think of college and universities. I have my degree and have saved enough money for kids to go if they want. Yet I would love for them to become entrepreneurs and create businesses without wasting money on school.
I don’t need to be constructive with my criticism. I simply write how I see things. It’s not like my annoyances will change anything. There will still be crap, rehashed products made. There will still be overpriced garbage. And we will still be entertained by 57 pages of gee-whiz marketing material.
I’ve never once called anyone a scammer. At least I don’t think I have. Point it out if I have. They can pimp this garbage all over the web if they want but I will still call bullshit when I read it. Doesn’t matter what I write anyway. People still read it. They still buy it. They still sign up. It’s good business.
I used to put only the affiliate links of stuff I actually use or bought. No more. If I can’t convince you not to buy something or to really consider it and you still feel the need to let that benjamin continue to burn a hole in your pocket, then by all means use my link.
Thanks splork. I appreciate your honesty. You know, i had set out to do the same thing: be honest about the crap in IM, but then I just became another product promoter.
I’m going back. A lot of the stuff in IM is rehashed (some of it decent, but unoriginal) but I never say anything about it. Well, I guess it’s time for a regime change.
Thanks man,

Thanks for reading Guru Crusher. Cool handle. Get in there and say it.
