It's all Eben Pagan's fault!

He's the one who started it all ...and now they are after people like you and me!

Let me elaborate a little so you can understand what happened to me.

See, back in 2007 Eben Pegan held a $10 000 per person seminar (you must have heard of it!). All of today's big internet marketing gurus where present, all trying to figure out new "evil" schemes of how they can get people like you and me to give them our money.

Here's what Eben told them (something along these lines ...I wasn't there so I can't tell the exact words):

" Guys, don't keep your best ideas secret! You can't ask people to give you money unless you've provided value to them... help them first. Get the short end of the stick. Give them $100 worth of value and ask for $10... Give them your best product for FREE even! Give away the number 1 thing that you're proud of selling and if it's good enough they'll ask you for more. They'll be thinking: damn...if that's what he's giving away for free, then I wonder how good the other stuff he's selling must be..."

I can picture them all nodding in silent amazement, drinking Eben Pagan's every word.

And guess what those dirty little scoundrels did after that seminar.

THEY ALL WENT AND GAVE AWAY FREE STUFF TO EVERYBODY!

I say that's evil.

Especially when I know that their little *evil* scheme worked on me.

B*stards!

I was trapped defenseless. No-one had told me ...no-one had warned me.

Every little internet marketing guru got me.

First was thestompernet guys. You know, those SEO experts. They got me watching their free videos about how to dominate the search engines with web2.0 techniques.

I tested it. Got my Free Hip-Hop Blog on the front page of google for a few keywords and I only applied ONE technique among the dozens they teach for free. I didn't expect it to work. Why did I do it?

Now, to this day I'm still getting on average 100 daily visitors while I do nothing to promote it or even adding content. Traffic against my will. Damn those suckers!

I was trafficly raped and had no-one to talk to! At least you're here to confort me.

Don't know if I told you but I have a small project I was happy spending Adwords money on to build a list. I got broke, shut the adwords down. I thaught it was over for that project, decided to forget it and move on. But guess what happened, I started noticing that my list was still growing! The truth is I had made the mistake of using some web2.0 stuff from those stompers and now my project wasn't completely dead...

This is where today's world is heading if we let those kind of people get in touch with the masse. A project like mine could'nt even at least die in peace.

I was happy with my adwords campaigns... why did they do this to me?!

I say that's evil!

Nodd silently if you think he same. Yes, like that.

Onwards...

Then I fell for that (god damn) Mike Filsaime offer. He said: "Help me with just shipping and handling (which was $8 at the time) and I'll send you my butterfly marketing manuscript, sold for $97, for free. Plus you'll get my 7figureSecrets book that contains everything I do to run my million dollar online businesses."

And I fell for it too.

That sucker wanted me to know how to build a viral business that grows by itself - one that doesn't need me! One that people can't help but talk about, like the Facebook or Gmail became popular. And he wanted me to know all the legal steps and outsourcing stuff I'll have to arrange once my business gets at a King-Kong-Smack-That-A** level.

I tried to resist. Tried real hard... but I couldn't!

Hopefully, by the time you read this, that offer won't be available anymore so he won't get you like he got me. I'm telling you, that guy will give away stuff like no-one I' ve seen before and he has no shame about it! Don't let him do that to you!

Do you know what he said to his little circle of internet marketing friends? He said he would take the free-line to mars!

And he did!

But others came after him and tried to do better.

Did they succeed?

Well, they succeeded into giving away free awfull stuff most of the time. But only one of them beat Filsaime's offer fair and squared! I'm getting ahead of myself, I'll talk to you about that guy later ...much later.

Next came "never heard" marketers who wanted to imitate the big fishes.

Michael Rasmussen. I wonder where he got that name from. (His father says you? don't be funny :-)

Anyway - that guy had the nerve to record multiple short videos exposing how someone like you and me can profit by buiding mini-sites and he gave them away for free ...again ...That little squirrel!

I watched that thing and couldn't stop myself ...and I wanted to stop, beleive me when I say that. That thing is one hour long ...but it took me more than an hour to watch it all ...I kept rewinding and rewinding and rewinding. I'm sure he knew that would happen.

And when I got all the info, guess what I found out.

That chump had more to offer for free. Little did I know when I clicked that link I would be taken to his email promos exposed site where he exposes to the public the crooked *evil* copywriting techniques he uses to have his lists drink his words like it was "The Elixir of Life".

And I fell for that too. Poor me.

By all means, please don't fall for their schemes. Unlike me, you have the advantage of knowing what will happen to you so please be carefull.

As I told you, those guys are out to get people like you and me.

Man... I'm having headaches right now just thinking about what I learned. Those guys are evil I'm telling you. They will make your head bust with free content and stuff. Things you can't handle. I'm still trying to recover.

~ Vote Paris Hilton For President ~ (I don't know why I just wrote that. It came out of nowhere - I think I need a doctor ...they got my head screwed up!)

I need a little rest.

I hope you'll be more clever than me and not fall for their free offers. Too much info is bad. It will screw your head up. Look at what's happening to me.

I'll be back soon to continue this story. You won't believe what happened next. I'm so ashamed of myself.

.... to be continued.
