Press Release Body = FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
BUFFALO, NY -- February 2, 2007 -- Of course the Twilight Zone is a world of non-reality. Then again so is the seedy world of \"get rich quick gimmicks.\" Now don\'t get me wrong. Working some systems can and will produce, but not while sleeping, sipping a Mai Tai in Key West, or playing a round with Tiger Woods. No, it takes a significant amount of planning, marketing skills, money, patience, and realistic projections. The average \"Joe\" on the street hasn\'t ad agency experience or education. Mention \"focus groups\" and they think you\'re talking about an eye exam. Talk about market share and they think its a stock. This is not meant to knock Joe average. But it should let him (or her) know that it can\'t be done. Or can it?
I decided to put this to a test, without telling a soul. I purchased a few of those \"offers.\" Now I\'m talking about \"Get Rich\" offers, MLM and a potpourri of this and that. Keep in mind, I avoided obvious scams like the \"Nigerian Letter Scam,\" or the \"Mystery Shopper Scam.\" Those didn\'t qualify for my test. It had to be an e-Book, a downloadable software product - anything that focused on \"Selling get rich gimmicks to the Un-Rich.\" In-other-words, it had to be marketing to the same group of people who were looking for the pot of gold.
I set up a website of products that all dealt with downloadable \"How-to\'s.\" How to make $500,000 quickly, How to Retire in 60 days, How to tell your boss to stuff it, How to make money doing absolutely nothing - the list goes on. Could I setup a website, promote the proverbial pot of gold, let it run itself, make daily bank deposits and the like? www.richkingpin.com
Two months and I had my answer. People did indeed buy pie in the sky. I made it to the level of Money Evangelist, a guru - faster than it took me to read Napoleon Hills, \"Think and Grow Rich.\" Seems the more ridiculous the offers, the more hits (and money) it brought. I had one website, selling all the gimmicks I laughed at. It was now paying the mortgage, gas and electric, and then some. The experiment went on for several months, and runs to this day. I have no intention of closing it down. Why should I?
Could a path of wealth sitting on a cheap server making money around the clock be an aberration? E-Book sales continued. It raked in sales consistently, while I slept, and sipped manhattens. (I don\'t like Mai Tai\'s) .
The bottom line? Individually, gimmicks are just that. Yes, you can make a couple bucks here and there - but it takes work like I mentioned. The \"real secret\" (I sound like one of them now), is structuring a complete \"automated\" program of pushing \"Rags to Riches products and services.\" Try it for yourself and smile at the results. You won\'t believe your eyes.
