Could write a lot of negative things about X but I’ll keep it simple and just say it SUX.

With very few exceptions, these E-Books offer to show one ‘How To’ and never follow through with anything substantive. If this is the way to market, they’ll have a short internet life.

I enjoyed your book and have benefitted from it.However, you seem to be one of the few.

I think it may pay these folk to build a genuine business if they wish to stick around. This person may have been rough with his accusations and wording, but out in the real world when I had my business, one only succeeded when the purchaser received a benefit for their investment.NOT the case for most E-Books — just a bunch of regurgitated trash.

It seems this person is angry, also maybe an axe to grind. Wonder what type of affiliate program he wants us to join – it appears that he is creating one.

Based on what I read, my guess the Sham will tell you how to build your own business/list instead of building someone elses list… and that is not new.

Best read SAH, and don’t waste your money on something else.

However, I kept scrolling down and down the page waiting for the “big secret” and there was nothing that really knocked my socks off.

Definitely could have been better.

Most his (or her’s?) comments are eyes opening for me since I don’t even have a website yet, just educating myself.
I do think it’s deliberately high with hype. It looks like a way of doing a big income sale with just one product. On the other hand,if everything he mentions is true, why hide and not reveal who he is. Well known respectable marketer or new coming guru?
Internet Marketing Secrets revealed by Secret Internet Marketer. Umm!
In any case, good because I learned quite a few things from it. Too bad the anger is so obvious.

If you’re going to do copywriting, you can either:
1) do what everyone else does, and get what everyone else gets.
2) do the opposite of what everyone else is doing, and get very interesting results (instant fans OR a cult of people waiting to bring you down. Or likely a combination of both).

There’s an adage that there’s no new knowledge, just old knowledge being presented in a new way.

Affiliate Marketing once you think of it, has it’s roots in direct marketing, door-to-door sales (even if you’re ‘knocking’ on the email doorstep of someone halfway around the world).

If you can figure out what’s happening in the marketplace now, and step it up/reposition/reframe it a different way, you’d have the beginnings of a ‘revolution’. (though it might merely be old wine in a new bottle).

However, what was said about PPC advertising and list building is certainly nothing new. Its already known that it has become increasingly more difficult over the years to use PPC as a form of advertising, forcing people to change tactics.

There’s already very useful resources out there from trustworthy marketers that I have bought that have been incredibly useful to me.
Everyone should know how important it is to build lists and I, as an affiliate, have not had any problems in doing so.

Its quite evident to see this guy is using the very powerful tool of paranoia to pursue interest.

Does he have anything new up his sleeve?

I’m intrigued, but I’m not going to find out first hand, since this ‘X’ person has failed to build any trust.

Content-wise, I found it to be pretty thin of useful information. It’s obviously a sales pitch to purchase something down the road, and .X. is building his/her list. Well, good for .X. However, .X. violated one of the big rules of copywriting…..X. did not build up my trust in them. They could be making it up. I have no way of knowing how true the information is or even really how knowledgeable .X. is. Lesson to be learned? Write good copy and put your best face forward.
