At 5pm today, Joel Comm released his latest product in the form of a massive monthly program which provides you with all the tools you need to start building your own VRE sites.

It’s called “Monthly Templates”.

I saw Joel speak in September at Robert Puddy’s Focus 4 the Future seminar where he explained his $800+ per day Virtual Real Estate (VRE) business.

The guy’s an expert – his book, The AdSense Code, has recently become a New York Times Best Seller…

In fact, after the seminar I made some changes to my AdSense sites based on what Joel suggested and saw my earnings per impression increase by 137%. Quite outstanding!

Joel’s new subscription service is now open and those who sign up in the first week are likely to get even more for being “quick off the mark”.

I recently came across a site which is ruthlessly advertised via Google AdWords. Danny’s Scam Review professes to tell you which “work at home” schemes actually work.

The advert is:

I was scammed 37 times
These websites are absolute scams I will
show you the ones that work

So, you click on the link and get taken to dannys-scam-review.com.

Apparently, this “Danny” has gone from earning $70,000 a year to becoming redundant from his 9-5 job.

What he decided to do was try and make money via the web. He bought 37 programs and found that all but 2 were scams (I’d say he’s pretty stupid to get scammed 35 times – or he’s lying…).

Anyway, on his site he shows you 2 programs which are apparently “not scams”. If you pay the money to join these programs, Danny says that you will make money.

He even says about his “No 1 BEST PRODUCT” (ultimatewealthpackage.com):

“The purchase price is a little high at $299 dollars, but look out for the occasional special offer. I bought the package for $299 and the very next day it was being sold for only $99! I didn’t mind because I made it all back anyway! A full refund is also offered if you are not happy with the product which is extremely reassuring”

The truth is that the Ultimate Wealth Package was first launched on or around the 4th March 2006. Back then it was only $46, not the $299 that Danny claims.

In fact, it has never been priced at more than $50.

Danny’s Scam Review website is a complete con. He has taken probably the worst advice from the Rich Jerk eBook and tried to build a business around it.

I signed up for his “newsletter” to find out what his opinion of the top 3 scams was. He said that they were:

“Scam #1 – High Yield Investment Programs
Scam #2 – Envelope Stuffing
Scam #3 – Free Magazine Advertising”

And he’s probably right. The problem is that Danny says:

“Yesterday I made $493.98 with Ultimate Wealth Package…”

However, I signed up for his email newsletter with two different email addresses, a week apart and he said he made the same amount yesterday in both emails.

Danny’s Scam Review is a site which lies.

Whoever is behind it has built it anonymously because they are not willing to admit who they are.

Sign up for his newsletter and you will find that he promotes all kinds of rubbish to try and make a quick buck.

Two he has tried to palm off include “Paid Surveys” and “Type at Home” which is a useless data entry scheme.

Danny even goes so far as to claim in an email:

“… last week I e-mailed you about Paid Survey Program and how my friend Kev James was making a load of cash just filling in surveys on line!

Since I sent out the e-mail telling you about the program over 3,000 of you joined the program. That was a lot, I was impressed! I contact the Survey Company to see how many of you were actually making. In the last 7 days since I sent out the e-mail, Paid Survey Program have paid out OVER $242,000 to us, which is crazy! I PERSONALLY only made $3,000, so the other $239,000 has been made by you! CONGRATULATIONS! (Yes I am a little jealous, but there 1,000 of you, only 1 of me!) “

Don’t believe a word that Danny’s Scam Review tells you, it’s complete rubbish.

Type At Home and Paid Surveys are complete fallacies. Check the index of this blog and you will find posts about these types of schemes. They are all very dubious, certainly not schemes which will make you any money.

Back in September I attended Robert Puddy’s Focus 4 the Future seminar in Birmingham. I keep on mentioning it because it was an excellent weekend and I learnt a whole host of extremely valuable tips and tricks on internet marketing. More importantly perhaps, I also met a lot of people who are in the same boat as me – doing all this part-time.

Networking works though, it really does. Just one JV from this seminar earnt me back four times the ticket cost. Perhaps this is a story for another time…

Today I wanted to talk about internet business mentoring, specifically an offer I have just received in my email inbox. Basically this email offered me a 9 month 1-on-1 internet mentoring program for £2k.

The problem is that the person who is offering to mentor me for this money is someone who I have never heard of – nor can I find any information about him on the internet or by asking around.

He’s an internet marketing nobody…

If I Google his name, he does not appear on the first page. The only sites I can find of his are the ones he sends me links to via email. In fact, the only information I can find about him is that he seems to have been online for just less than a year and once went to a seminar featuring Frank Garon.

This, it seems, makes him an “internet guru” who is qualified to mentor me to internet success! It’s ridiculous.

Compare this with the mentoring program which Mike Filsaime offered to the attendees of the seminar in Birmingham:

Mike’s offer was a 12 month, double-your-money mentoring program called “I5“.

You got his entire Butterfly Marketing package, all of his personal products, membership to all his sites, 2 tickets to his seminar, 10 tickets for his seminar which you could resell for $797 and keep 100% of the profits…

… you also got coaching from a proven successful internet marketing expert.

The offer I received today had precisely zero proof that it would help me in the slightest. The person who offered me mentoring can’t even offer any proof that he is a success, but he wants £2k to “mentor” me.

For an extra £1k I can get a whole load of material which has been proven to work over and over again as well as 1-on-1 mentoring from a successful (and well-known) group of marketers.

There’s really no competition, is there?

I suppose the moral of the story is to make sure that the person you pay for “mentoring” actually does have the right to call himself a success. If he or she can’t, don’t pay them a penny.

Mike Filsaime and the Butterfly Marketing Manuscript

Over the past couple of days I have been watching the UK Internet Entrepreneur DVDs which I ordered last week.

This 8 DVD set contains all the presentations from the weekend seminar which was held less than 2 months ago.

Therefore, it’s very much up-to-date information.

So far I have seen 4 of the DVDs.

The first DVD features the “Two Neils” – Neil Stafford and Neil Travers who go through their business on screen. They have several websites up and running and they describe how they built their business over the last 5 years or so.

Simon Coulson is featured on the second DVD in his first seminar appearance. He went through how he has built up an extremely profitable business in just 3 years. Fascinating stuff…

A copywriter by the name of Nick Wrathall is shown on the 3rd DVD and he goes through his secrets to writing good copy. Nick was one of Stuart Goldsmith’s “Inner Circle” subscribers and he has become extremely successful after he acted on the advice given by Stuart.

Peter Woodhead goes through how to use Public Domain material to create your own products on the 4th DVD and concentrates on showing the audience exactly where to go to find this material.

I’ll do a full review of these and the remainder of the DVDs in the near future but I’ll say this:

I’m impressed with these DVDs because they contain footage of UK (rather than US) internet marketers who are very successful. Also, these marketers have made money by avoiding selling to the “business opportunity” crowd on the whole i.e. they weren’t just writing “how to make money” manuals.

So far, these DVDs are highly recommended and I still have 4 DVDs to view!

Around this time last year I decided to buy the Rich Jerk’s eBook. I wrote a short review on the main site which you can read here:

The Rich Jerk – New Profitable Internet Marketing SystemThe review was pretty positive because, although the writer acts like an arrogant “jerk”, there is some good stuff contained in the manual for someone who is new to internet marketing.

Of course, the Rich Jerk is just a caricature of a real human being – a great marketing ploy. When it was released it was a new and fresh and people responded in their droves, making it a Clickbank bestseller.

Behind the Rich Jerk is a young American man called Kelly Felix. He did create some very profitable websites and has made a fortune from internet marketing. It’s probably an understatement to say that he has increased his fortune somewhat by creating the Rich Jerk character.

After the initial website and eBook offer, the Rich Jerk branched out into infomercials in the US. Everything he did was geared towards creating a huge email list so that he could promote other products to them in order to make more money.

A couple of months ago emails started appearing from the Jerk advertising “Stompernet”, a search engine optimisation course from Brad Fallon and Andy Jenkins. The emails were rude, many telling the reader to “**** off” at the end!

Also, the Jerk decided to make up some ridiculously over-the-top stories about torturing an employee for giving away his secrets or something or other.

Apparently, although I haven’t received the email yet, RJ has sent out another email today which says some rather silly things about something he really shouldn’t have mentioned…

By all means join up for the Rich Jerk’s program if you are interested, just don’t expect to receive professional and courteous emails from him. He seems to like to appeal to juveniles…
