How I Made $10,735.22 In 3 Days!

[Martin Luxton]

Dear spammers, scammers and trolls.

As a public service to the morally disadvantaged, I am giving you a template for your fly-by-night forum sting.

STEP 1

Write a headline with "How I Made X Money In X Days!"

Make sure the amount is high enough to get people's greed receptors going, but not so high that it's an obvious scam. The amount should also be an odd number with dollars and cents so it seems more realistic.

The time period should also be short to cater for lazy victims (sorry, customers) with goldfish attention spans. For claims of $1,000 - $3,000 it's OK to use 48 hours. For more than $3,000 you should use a much longer time period, say, 3 or 4 days. 5 days or more makes it sound too much like a job and nobody will buy.

Use an exclamation mark to emphasize how amazing your feat is!

STEP 2

Paste a photoshopped screen shot of your Paypal/Clickbank account

HERE

If you are doctoring a Clickbank cheque make sure there is enough time between the date of the earnings and today's date for a real cheque to have actually arrived via post. Most people know that cheques don't come overnight by email.

STEP 3

Actually, chronologically, this should be Step 1.

Using a proxy/dynamic ISP create a few acounts at the Warrior Forum a couple of months before you intend to fleece (sorry, help) people. Keep your nose clean. Make a few nice posts. Thank a few people.

Once you post your thread use these 'shill' accounts to praise you to high heaven and, more importantly, to attack any busybodies who have the sheer cheek to suggest you are doing something wrong.

STEP 4

If the thread survives the first 10 posts, add a link to your WSO.

STEP 5

Keep your WSO link until you get attacked by at least two Forum heavyweights. Then remove it and retire from the thread. If you try to defend yourself it gives people more rope to hang you.

STEP 6

Focus on the WSO. Use the Thanks button for everybody who posts and post saying thank you as well. You've got to get to the all-important 50 posts to add a second page. 2 pages = more social proof.

If anybody attacks you in your WSO thread try to sound reasonable. You have 3 lines of defence.

1. Accuse them of trying to ruin your WSO and threaten to report them to Admin.

2. Shrug it off. "This guy is a well-known troll. What can a poor, simple guy like me do?"

3. Throw dirt. "This guy is actually a famous Russian hacker. Give me 24 hours (to rake in more money) and I'll prove it to you."

STEP 7

This is your ace in the hole and you really don't want to use it unless you have to.

It's your treasured IM guru account.

A year ago you actually created a really good WSO and made lots of useful posts. You even built a list and sent them decent info ("Hmm, I actually made a lot of money from this. Maybe I should do it more often").

This is the account you use to come in and tell everybody "Hey, you know me. Honest Joe Marketer. I bought this WSO and it's fantastic. Deal of the century."

If you use Step 7 you might be able to salvage Honest Joe Marketer. When the scam is discovered you can join in the hue and cry and say how much money you got taken for.

STEP 8

Rinse and repeat with different usernames.

[Peter Bestel]

Thanks Martin

You're truly a generous guy - most people would've packaged this up and sold it for $197 but here you are giving it to the world for free.

I'm choking up here with your display of philanthropy.

Tina,

You just ruined my next WSO!

STEP 9 - rehash old information

Martin

[Tenzo]

Thanks Martin, I was looking for a comprehensive business plan to follow. You should have sold this as a WSO.
As an upsell, would you be willing to go back in time a few months and create some shill accounts for me? That would be worth 7 dollars easily.

Regards,
Kevin

[Jesus Perez]

Funny...I was coming in to report you.

A lot of people don't understand this is happening. There a lot of newbs that will read the posts, and visit the WSO and buy...without ever registering at the forum.

So thanks, Martin, for exposing this scam.

[Martin Luxton]

Peter,

It's not free. There is going to be a CPA link added to my sig file any minute.

Kevin,

That would be too much hard work. I think the easiest thing to do would be to get a hack into this site.

I think I'd have to charge more than 7 dollars, though.

Martin

[FredFarnes]

Oh, I feel so foolish. Now I know what happened to me.

Until now I just thought WSO's were over-hyped garbage of low value. (Step by step plan to make $9000 this month). They are consistently over-hyped old rehashed information, and so basic that only newbies would benefit.

Last month decided I never to buy hyped WSOs. They are so obviously BS, just read the title. If it sounds too good to be true...

[Ken Leatherman]

Martin,

Your status as a true info guru marketeer has been taken into the stratosphere, with this one mind boggling post. And frankly I'm quite that you revealed all my secrets to every unsuspecting Tom, Dick and Harry and don't forget the Annies, Sally, Molly and Tina

Your attention to detail speaks of much experience in using this corrupted business plan, to fleece the suckers err warriors.

However, I think Tina could have at least waited a little bit to call you on the carpet for old rehashed content as quickly as she did. Hmm! does this mean we can report her for personal attacking such a grand marketing fleece plan?

Your new student,

Ken

What we really need to do is create a mastermind group here, and launch a membership site on exactly how to do this - we could also create an entire series of webinars, and get all of the "REAL GURUS" to send out 35 emails a day to their lists to launch it.....;-)

oh wait...I think that's been done already too.........

LOL - I think my cynicism is showing this am......maybe I need more coffee..........

Ken,

It's your own fault. You should have got me to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement at the Old Geezers Trash Google™ Seminar.

Martin

[Ken Leatherman]

OMG ROTFLMBO.

[diger]

All good, highly relative points here and detailed cynicism does have its place. However we should be aware that to much can some times distort our attitudes and cause us hard. And basically we know that we are not going to change some human beings. So sort it out - dump the xxxx and steady goes the course.

[CBSnooper]

Fantastic guide. One I'm going to use and 'take action' with!

[Frank Donovan]

Hi Martin,

Good stuff. I'm trying to be cynical, but it's hard to keep up



And Peter,

Let's leave Martin's stamp collection out of this, shall we?



Frank

[Tessab4]

Great Post! I wondered where my money was from all those courses that require you to "take action" on outdated methods! How much is your one? I have my credit card out ready to buy!

[Peter Bestel]

Martin

Another one to add

Step 10 - Compose a notepad document with prewritten copy that will become a new post querying why the thread got nuked. Act all innocent and hurt and explain that you were only trying to help.

Get your 'shill' accounts to once again back you with cries of 'newbie attack', 'unfair' and 'elitism'.



I hope this addition will earn me a couple of Penny Blacks or maybe a handful of Penny Reds.

Cheers

Peter

You stole my secret system!!!

[George Wright]

Martin,

I opened your thread with my Credit Card in hand. Where the heck is your BuyNow Button.

George Wright

[JJOrana]

Awesome info. I'll record a video and sell a WSO for this.

George Wright

George -

His PayPal account was shut down because it was hacked by Nigerian scammers, but I am sure he has made arrangements to use someone else's account, so you will be able to buy soon.

And don't worry if it takes 2 weeks to deliver cuz that isn't his fault either!!

[Bev Clement]

Martin it can't be true, everybody knows it ends in a 7.

George just for you

[regan]

Thank for sharing your little secret!

[Akky]

Hehe the 3rd point the 6th step.. LOL , I almost fell from the chair! This is truly an inspirational post for all those scammers :P . I don't really like hype and I don't hype over my products.

G'day,
Akky

[George Wright]

Bev. You tricked me.

[Bev Clement]

George you only asked for the buy now button, you didn't specify it had to be live

[Steven Wagenheim]

Martin, I mean this in all seriousness. You should have been a comedy writer.

Your wit is absolutely killer. I thoroughly enjoyed reading that bit of satire.

Is it possible you missed you true calling?

Anyway, thanks for my laugh of the day. But please consider what I said. I
think you'd be very successful at it.

[Tyrus Antas]

The levels of emotional intelligence going on this thread are amazing

If everyone were like this, nobody would be scammed. Ever!

[Gaby10]

LOL! You should create a viral video based on your post... I bet you'll get a nice amount of views.

[tommygadget]

Well, I was just getting my diatribe out when I saw what this really was about. I bet there are several users out there creating "guru" accounts now

PS - Thanks added for the post!

Yes, I think your headline needs a bit of work.

[InternetMarketingIQ]

What's the point in being an unethical scammer? That's certainly no way to run a business. Pretty pointless. Is this the society one wants to create for the Internet? One where people get scammed and it scares them away from ever venturing back to the world of online purchases? This is EXACTLY why people are becoming even more brand conscious and why it makes it even harder for the little guy to develop a presence. Why buy from Joe's Bookstore who is new when I know EXACTLY what to expect from Barnes and Noble?

Scams are lame attempts to make money by people who have no real talent.

[Mreese601@gmail.com]

Thanks, for the Info. I will have to try it out! Do that work for ad also?

[Dana_W]

LOOOVE it!

What's the point in being an unethical scammer? Unfortunately, it can be somewhat profitable in the short term until the scammers are found out...run off the forum...and come back with a new identity to rinse and repeat.

[tommygadget]

Hey DANA! Where's my press release

TomG.

[AmyKay]

I LOVE this forum. LOL

Thanks for the chuckle.

[Martin Luxton]

And now I'm going to have to start a rant thread as well.

As per Step 6, I was trying to thank everybody in the thread and my Thanks button stopped working.

What kind of democracy is this forum when you can't say thank you willy nilly to everyone? It's getting like the Oscars where you only have time to thank your mum, dad and your analyst before they cut your speech short.

[ExRat]

Hi Steven,

Are you kidding? Martin never missed his calling - the Izmir village idiot is a very prestigious position and he has an important role entertaining tourists by falling off walls, treading on rakes etc.

[jonnoryan]

A lot of people get sucked into buy WSO's by reviews of other warriors . I really hate the following 2 lines in a review and I run a mile when I see them.

OP, you have really outdone yourself this time

and

OP, have you lost your mind, you should be charging 10 times the amount for this sort of information.

Where's my press release INFO??? Unless you want me to just wing it...you know, make something up....wait, my evil imagination is kicking into overdrive now, muah hah hah hah...

But seriously, send me an email telling me what you want to announce.

Okay, so we can at least pretend this is post on topic...er....great thread, Martin! Even though I feel bitter and gypped that I'm not going to learn how to make $10,735.22 in 3 days. I am not SAYING that I read the thread title and dashed out and bought $10,735.22 worth of Coach and Burberry purses in anticipation of earning the money back in 3 days, before I actually opened and read the thread...

I'm just saying...

[Steve Diamond]

Has everyone already forgotten Buy My Stupid Ebook, Overly SEO d Title, Keywords Crammed like Make Money Online Make Money Online Make Money Online? I've seen it a hundred times and I still roll on the floor every time. But then, my wife tells me I'm easily amused.

That's right, I made infinity dollars in my sleep. Besides, that's just too much money to make up!

[Ken Strong]

*yawn* Call me when you've figured out how to make $23,429.93 in 1 1/2 days... THEN I'll pay attention.

Tom,

Stop spoiling my WSO!

Oops, bit early. Haven't reached Step 6 Part 1 yet.


Dana,

Here's your press release headline

Tommy Gadget SHOUTS at Twitter Queen on public forum!

Roger,

I'm still looking for a raspberry emoticon.


Ken,

You don't understand the formula.

For sums of $20,000+ you have to give a longer timescale. To earn $23,429.93 in 1 1/2 days you would have do at least 4 hours' work.
Who would want to work that much for such a pittance?

If only Wagenheim had seen Coronation Street...

My goodness, what a thought.

Nice one, Martin

[DennisFMaloney]

No they would not do anything like that here would they.this is a good clean forum, where everyone is nice and helpful.

[The Copy Nazi]

Martin, mate I'm seriously thinking of running a WSO on how to dupe the Warrior Forum. So here's just a taste of what's to come in my "The Blackhatters Tea Party - a Guide to Scamming the WSO". Here's the line of javascript you can put in your browser to manipulate your Clickbank & PayPal earnings. Do You Really Believe Those Clickbank EarningsScreenshots? - Journal - Your Internets

[ragnartm]

Come now, don't give them ideas, do you really want them to rinse and repeat? I know I've had enough already.

[SolarFelineAU]

This is the funniest thing I have ever read so far on this Forum.



Thankyou Martin for the satire. There is a problem though - some readers of your laser-sharp wit may take you literally. Ah well, that's their problem though!!
