I’ve gotten a few emails and such about when I am going to write some more. Seems like this site has hit a bit of nerve with some people. I appreciate folks reading.

The vast majority of us who are trying to stake our claim to internet riches are struggling. We buy all the swag the guberus can pump out. We join all the membership sites we get pitched. We read the latest ebook to making money using this technique.

I don’t know about you guys but it seems the only ones making money are the guberus (and yet you continue to read even when I state the obvious). Everyone got pitched the deal for those Adsense videos, right? I did. Every day. So one of the gurus sends out an email that if you buy the videos from him, then he’ll give you a sweet bonus in the form of one of his ebooks.

So now I get an email from the dude selling the videos pimping the other guru’s ebooks and services now. WTF?

Seriously great marketing here. Friends helping friends out. But their cred just joined me in the weeds. It just smacks of a couple of dudes sharing their opt-in list to get more people to buy all their swag. Is that wrong? Nope it’s not. Pretty smart actually. But so help me I am not going to participate in their obvious money grab into my pockets.

I can just hear their conversation:

G1: I’m going to make some Adsense videos. I’ll market them like they’ll be the hottest thing going. I’ll take information that Google already provides and that has been discussed ad nauseum on the forums.

G2: Don’t forget to price them at $67 for a week them raise the price to $97. It’s the only price people know and understand. And we all know that our market is stupid enough, I mean savy enough to know a great deal, to buy into that time sensitive issue, ha ha. It’s when I make 70% of my sales.

G1: Right . Anyway. We know our market likes collecting info even though they would never put it into practice on their sites. I mean if they actually paid attention to the free forums, asked questions, tested and kept building I wouldn’t have a market. They’ll think this is new info and the road to riches, ha ha!

G2: And you know what? I’ll pimp your videos, for a nice commission and possible bonus of course, to my 17,000 sucker list, I mean opt-in list, and give the buyers one of my ebooks that hasn’t sold well.

G1: Word

G2: Then once the word is out that your videos are derivative, I mean the sales start slowing, you pimp my services and products in a package deal to your opt-in list.

G1: Bonus and commission, of course.

G2: Word

And there you have the making of a very nice joint venture, JV for you people in the know. This arrangement is totally lucrative for the guberus. Can’t blame them for it a bit. But I am not playing anymore. They’ll have to dive into someone else’s pocket.

Hopefully not yours.
