Rich Jerk Xray Software Too Buy Or Not Too Buy?
Too buy or not too buy Rich Jerk's Xray Software that is the question most of the internet marketing community will be asking themselves today. My view save your money. Something you must always bear in mind is are there any alternatives and am I getting value for money well in this case no way hose. There are other alternatives to what this script will do some already here and some that soon will be. But my main reason for writing this post is people must stop getting all caught up in the latest hype launch. Everyone and there mother is or will be pimping Rich Jerks Xray software but you have to see beyond the smoke as to why that is and the simple truth is $$$$$$. Rich Jerk and many other big name internet marketers overprice there products for 3 reasons. 1. Attracts big name affiliates by offering a good % on a high priced product. 2. Will be able to use the power of other big name marketers list by building an even bigger list by having a prelaunch notification list and 3. Using peoples mentality of if it is high priced it must be good. So my point is dont get sucked into these big launches take your blinkers off and realise big name marketers don't always have your interests at heart.
Hi [First Name] I Don't Give A Shit About You Or Your Success
Ok now I am pissed I received an email from Shawn "mail them until they buy or die" Casey today with the classic Hi [First Name] mistake now this is not just about shawn even though he has done it 2 days on the run it is about the fact of how many Internet Marketing related "ezines" I receive where the sender can not be arsed checking that they have used there autoresponder software correctly. It's patronising enough when I do see my actual first name there without you getting it wrong. If you can't be arsed getting it right don't do it. (Que meet the parents moment) I am a person not traffic or a list even though I know you couldn't give a shit about me or my success you could at least make the effort to look like you do. This will be cool to non internet marketing markets because they will think you made the effort to "personally" email them but your fellow internet marketers know it is just autoresponder software and not the personal touch. So my advice today is if you are going to use the first name trick make sure you do it correctly and preferably save it for non IMers.
Yanik Silver Replied To My Email
I was sifting through the usual shit I receive in my inbox today when all of a sudden I noticed a reply email (RE:) from the great Yanik Silver I couldn't believe it I rubbed my eyes in disbelief and when I reopened them it was still there. I thought to myself finally a big named marketer has responded to one of my begging emails he must have taken pity on me.
This email could contain the real secret ingredient to becoming a millionaire I couldn't wait to open it up the sweat was pouring from my forehead and my palms were sweatier than a pervert on a porn site.
I opened the email and to my horror it wasn't a personal mail from yanik it was an email offering my broke arse a 10 part pay plan to attend his underground seminar shit I had been duped again. Ok that isn't the truth but I do hate this little trick and I am seeing it happen more and more.
The problem with this is yes you may get your email opened but the person opening the email will be pissed when they realise it is not a genuine reply to a mail so any marketing message you wanted to get across just got flushed down the toilet with last nights dinner.
Yanik is not the only one to use the trick I am just using him as an example. Yes he will get away with it because he's the "great" yanik silver but you are not and you may not be so lucky so my advice treat your subscribers with a bit of intelligence they will thank you for it.

Pimping Your Email List For Profits
The latest free report to be pimped by everyone and there mother for 50c is by keith wellman and eric rockefeller I haven't read it yet so I will reserve judgement and make a comment once I have read it, however I will say that this seems to be the new trend in internet marketing started by mike filsaime and his death of internet marketing. It's amazing how quickly things are copied in IM it looks like this will be the next generation of list pimping.
Recently we have had big launches where everyone with a list and no concience promotes the latest big ticket fad product for a cut of the spoils. I can understand why this new technique is effective if you have a big enough list you just send a quick 2 paragraph email out to your so called "ezine" list pretending to be a real good friend letting everyone know about this great free report, then you just send them to the hype filled download page where they give the usual email details and you collect your 50c now obviously the list has to be a decent size for it to be worth while. The report writer gains because they have gained another subscriber to sell there other products to for 50c not bad if you have the funds.
Today I then received an email from keith wellman as I was already on his list saying he was blown away by the response, I can remember when I was blown for 50c but thats another story after the kids go to bed :-).
Anyway he said it has now been raised to 75c so if you think about it not bad little earner for the big list owners the conversion rate will be high because the report is free so they could easily earn a few thousand for a simple little email.
