New Market Niche (Probably Not)

by Dan C. Rinnert

Just got a spam eMail, trying to sell me on selling pet products. How do you earn money selling pet products? Well, apparently it is as easy as...
"Earn money humiliating other people's pets."
Not sure how you make money there. I mean, I've seen pet groomers do that, but not sure you're going to sell many pet supplies that way.

    Not sure how "humiliating" anything-including pets-is a great way to build rapport with potential customers.

    Of course there are many things I don't know...

    If it works just ramp it up a notch and try humiliating a prospect's spouse/partner or children. Based on the statement you quoted that should be at least equally effective.

    Are you sure this was spam, Dan, and not some uber-marketers new technique?

      I'm guessing it might work something like this:

      Buy a gem-studded dog collar and leash from my site or a video of your dog licking himself inappropriately will be uploaded to YouTube.

      I thought it was spam, but, you know, judging by rumors plus the mankini no one can forget, I bet Kevin Riley has humiliated a hamster or two in his day, and found a way to make money at it, so maybe he's behind this?
