YouTube - ‪The Official Go Click Cash Video‬‏
Worth watching. It's very compelling. Great script, editing, music, etc. Love it how these guys went balls out with the production, bringing in a great actor (?), plane, car, house, and more to really drive the point home.

This is not an endorsement of the program, by the way. Don't know a thing about that.

  • Wow. I wonder what the price tag was on this video? A lot of effort went into it obviously. I hope it paid off.
  • Have you seen their disclaimer? Here is a small direct quote from the disclaimer on the bottom of their sales/landing page:

    Also... you know those annoying windows notification popups that keep you from being able to leave the site?

    They run you through? They force you through no less than 5 of them making it nearly impossible to close the browser window.

    Btw if you listen to just 30 seconds around the 4 minute mark the guy describes exactly who they think their target market is... losers.

    At around the 31 minute mark he pitches his software and at 32:18 he begins to close the deal:

    No, I did not watch the whole thing. I skimmed for about 3 minutes...

    Now I feel like I need to take a shower.

    Ugh... at 36 minutes there is a shot of him in his bathroom with a robe on.

    The video has a surprise ending where he meets up with a hook... ...er I mean model in a hotel room

    Greezy.

    If you are selling to desperate unitiated losers then this is the video for you.

    • Just my opinion but this video sucks any way you look at it. Also, any sales video longer that 10 minutes loses my attention. If you can't sell someone on a product in 10 minutes, they are not buying. Just my opinion of course.

    • ...OMG! My stomach is hurting from laughing so hard! And you wasn't even trying to be funny!
  • That might actually be the worst IM sales video of all time. Forget the Rich Jerk, this guy is the Rich D-Bag.

    It's definitely not for people like me because I wouldn't buy that on principle.

    However, I can see how opportunity seeking newbies who are in desperate need for someone to lead them to the promised land would buy that. And then refund LOL.

    That said, they're probably making a killing in sales. The opinions of WF are often a contrary indicator.

  • I like how they misspelled whether on the opening caption.
  • The guy doesn't even know the difference between "whether" and the "weather"! lol!!!

    I think it's rather presumptuous of them to assume people have 45+ minutes to waste
    listening to their drivel.

    Let me sum it up as eloquently as I can under the circumstances... yuk!
  • All they want is to make you purchase in your inthusiasm watching it.

    • I nearly instantly hate that guy, just me?

      Sadly, people may fall for this sort of thing. I love how the only comment on the video in youtube is a guy who talks about how scammy the program is. How it is a wordpress plugin for the most part which scrapes content oh and that nobody can get it to work, lol.

      45 minutes of this guy strokin his own nuts, wonder how many times he iterates how much of a loser I am. Does that really motivate people to give him their money? Sad, sad, sad marketing right there.

    That video has done its job. Its getting $3.80 EPC. I wrote the script. Video didn't turn out exactly as I would have liked but at least it's working.
  • He said in the video that I will soon be able to bring my girlfriend to dinner or buy a beer while I play pool.
  • far from the best one ever. I know one thats doing 7 figures a month off COLD traffic.

    guys, these products and offers are not only incredibly stupid... but they're also crap.... they work on email traffic.... whoopdie doo!

    How a grown adult can fall for something like this is beyond me.... These people need a baseball bat to the head.

    Cold/paid traffic guys. Thats the only way you can scale.

    Thats the only traffic that matters.

    Anyone with half a brain can make something convert on warm/email traffic.

    just sayin'

    • Please post a link to it. Would love to check it out.
  • What I really don't get is the lack of objectivity of fellow warriors.

    Obviously, we know superior marketing, and we have the highest ideals on how things should be done. However, one doesn't need to be a fan to grudgingly admit that the video sales letter, as sleazy as it is, flat out works.

    And isn't that what online marketing is? Traffic + Conversion?

    If you don't like what the market responds to... Just go to one which you feel doesn't compromise your integrity. The sucker market ain't for everyone.

    • Robbing a bank works too. So does mugging little old ladies.
      Somehow, I lack the ability to be objective about those, too.

      We all have a line in the sand where objectivity disappears.
      That line is different for all of us.

      IMHO, there's a difference between "sleaze" or the "sucker market" and flat out lying to people.

      We all have to be okay with the face in the mirror.
      Doing business without lying to the customer is my line in the sand.

      Yeah...its only done over a million in sales. Complete dud. Think I'll go back to painting houses.
      • [ 3 ] Thanks
      • [1] reply
  • no disrespect to anyone, its a slick video as far as production goes... the script is written well for what it is....

    but if that made a million in sales it just goes to show how desperate and gullible the market is, and more importantly, how easy it is to sell ANYTHING to this niche.

    we're talking a market full of people that will believe and buy almost anything without any sense of reason. (I guess this would easily pass halberts starving crowd test)

    Now to the million in sales.... first congrats. thats a nice chunk of change.

    1. how much of that was then refunded?
    2. a million in sales, gross? (break it down - 50-70% to affiliates, processing, refunds)
    3. email/jv traffic, right?

    Everyone makes a big f'n deal with their epc's and how much it makes but the numbers are all based on jv/email/warm endorsed traffic.... which is the highest quality traffic out there.

    the *only* test and numbers that matter is how it does on cold/paid traffic.

    This is why offers like FBF, Fat loss for idiots, pandoras, dyd, etc. are all HUGE brands and make a f'n killing month after month after month... (something 99% of these crap IM offers dont have - longevity)

    if your offer cant convert on cold/paid traffic, then its crap. its a short term money maker.

    You cant scale up email traffic.

    You cant scale up seo traffic.

    So you get people to promote the hell out of it for a month and then its off to the virtual graveyard for IM products with a 1-2 month shelflife.

    I'd rather make money for years.

    • It's not that easy... Yes, the buyers in this market want to believe easy money is possible, but they've seen everything, they're skeptical, and they're actually pretty sophisticated when it comes to gimmicks.
  • Listen everybody, you all are trying hard to make it in IM, so you are NOT a loser if you are trying. If you STOP trying, then you are a loser. Don't let anybody make you feel down, they are trying to sell their stuff. But the key is that if you will let other D bags let your esteem down, you won't succeed either. You NEED to have a product and a good marketing strategy to make it in IM, you need to genuinely help your prospects achieve the results they expect. These type of stuff is none other than cheap get rich quick stuff. I remember Frank Kern, you all know who he is, told in his video at Frank Kern Success Stories that DO NOT LISTEN TO PEOPLE WHO GIVE YOU A MESSAGE THAT YOU ARE A LOSER. LISTEN ONLY TO THE PEOPLE WHO WILL GIVE A MESSAGE THAT YOU CAN DO IT. This is important especially for newbies.

  • It seems the video is removed. Is this the same video on Go Click Cash's homepage?
    • [1] reply
    • Without getting into the ethics or morals of a product...(although it's always best to write for stuff that you do believe in).

      Anyway,

      If you always offer an immediate refund to people who don't like whatever they have bought...

      Doesn't that at least help level things out a bit?
  • lol... dude.... REALLY?

    David, You just made my morning :-)....

    are you gonna sit there and say:

    after hearing this offer did 1million?

    C'mon man...

    And you expect me (or anyone else) to take the comment seriously?

    Dude, i could shred that comment (and everything behind it) faster than a ginsu knife cuts through a tomato...

    But I wont... the fact this comment was made tells me there is absolutely zero grasp of the market, what they buy and how to sell to it.

    I just showed the video to some people here in the coffeeshop, a young kid laughed and said it was lame and a joke...

    A middle aged man, said it was crap and said theres no one on the planet stupid and/or desperate enough to believe this let alone buy it.

    And a 50 something year old woman said she could smell the scam a mile away.... and said the person who buys this is either a sucker or dumber than a box of rocks.

    But you know... David, the people in this market are SO sophisticated...

    I've been at this game for a long time dude... its not as difficult as you make it out to be... ESPECIALLY in this IM market.

    Try that crap in a real market (not IM) and you won't make a dime.

    Do you see any of these gimmicks and tricks in other markets?

    Go ask anyone who's tried it.

    • If it were that easy, how come all the big IM seminars are going away?

      And how come the "gurus" we used to hear from all the time have disappeared...and are broke?

      Or maybe these guys weren't that good?

      As I've said, "business opportunities" is a hungry market, but because of this, prospects are being constantly bombarded by things and they've become immune to most of them. That's what I mean by sophisticated.
      • [1] reply
  • yesl, IF they got caught.
  • I could be wrong, but I really thought the object of copywriting was to sell stuff. If this video is selling stuff, it has done its job.

    It is rather irrelevant what the non-market for this product feels about how the promotion was handled.

    For those that don't like it, try looking at it with the attitude there *might* be something to learn from it. After all, isn't that part of the purpose behind this forum?

    • Your not wrong, writing copy is a needed and versatile tool in the trek to selling a product online. The copywriter is not at fault IMO, seems he delivered what his client wanted. As the creator of the product, responsibility of delivering what your ad copy states falls directly on you and you alone. As it would seem all over the net, this product fails horribly at delivering it's promises.

      Sadly, there is a market for preying on the feeble, the unsuspecting, the...stupid. Always has been a market in being dishonest, my motivation for commenting was to make sure there is a lesson of how damaging a product like this can be to your reputation. Don't care how much money it made, ethics come first in my book and always will. How about you?

  • LOL... David... ever hear of this thing called a recession?

    let me break this down for you:

    it costs money to fly for hotel, for the event etc.

    Notice how lower priced products are dominating the market?

    Need I say more?

    On to your 'guru' thing.... I know many of them and the ones I know, they're doing quite well... just because you don't see anything in your inbox or on warrior forum, don't think they're not making money... lol
    • [2] replies
    • So you're saying the IM niche is not that easy?

      The top guys, at least the ones that I know, are doing well. The B and C-List guys are struggling from everything I've seen though.

      Which brings me to my point that the IM niche isn't that easy.

      In a good financial market, maybe... But as they say, "In a tornado, even a turkey can fly."
    • Banned
      You're forgetting something. Most...if not all of these recent "lower priced" products have upsells. To $497 or whatever. And guess what? People are taking up the upsells. In GoClickCash's case I believe the figure is around 50%. So there's still money out there. People are still spending.
  • The guy himself had sort of a sleazy demeanor to me... and his over acting made the script more abrasive than I would have found it in print.

    If I was in shopping mode I wouldn't have sat through the first 15 or so seconds of silence.

    I think The Copy Nazi's style is cool but for me the video itself is blah with corny lifestyle proof.

    This is probably my favorite thread ever because of all the emotions and stuff. Thanks guys.
  • David.... lol... stop twising sh!t... you're talking seminars.... I answered your comment... we're talking this video and these bs $39 offers. get it straight brotha.

    ... yes they're buying upsells.... but they're not coming in off a $997 offer... like for a seminar.

    again, you guys are twisting stuff up... you can't compare apples to oranges.

    How many $1997 launches have you seen lately?

    How many $39 launches have you seen lately?

    GAME OVER - THIS TOPIC IS CLOSED.

    And no. no one is blaming copy nazi... its not his product for god sakes... he was just hired to write the offer... he did his job well.

    its the product owners. they are knowingly scamming people.

    Why would they all of a sudden use plimus?

    Because they're better than clickbank? LOL cmon.... they're using plimus cuz the offers are garbage an CB wont allow them anymore (hello FTC)

    That said I know a big offer that my friend was asked to write and the product owners didnt even know what they were selling!

    they just wanted a similar video like x, y and z did....

    and the video's done pretty well... think over $500k in sales.
    • [1] reply
    • And what were they selling? Guns? Crack? LOL

      It's usually the other way around. You schedule the launch, time grows closer, the product is pretty good. Your partner is doing the front end and then the day of launch he puts up some insane sales page and you argue and kill each other. Ive seen this happen where the product was good and the sales page now "targeted" a certain audience and therefore alot of heat came on the product creator, although the product creator worked his ass off. (This certain launch Im thinking of had one of the worst threads on WF)

      Or what about the product creator that prices the software or service at $997 maybe because it actually is a service or is a physical item and then after launch another guy copies his idea and prices it at $37. Everyone here makes the $997 guy out to be this big bad scammer. LOL!!!!

      How many units does the guy who whines and complains actually do. How many employees do they have? Most likely either ZERO or their "review" or "opinion" is a business themselves.

      Anyhow, yes this is a pretty bad ass video and you could show it to your friends who have no idea what internet marketing is and they would probably be entertained.

  • I posted this elsewhere but thought it was worthy in this thread as well.

    I went to the affiliate link and signed up, and now I'm receiving emails from 'goclickcash' (insert random numbers) @aweber.com

    There have been a number of different 'from' emails.

    I've since deleted them but they were in reference to having 2 million in the bank account or something, along with suspicious looking links.

    The first few emails had an unsubscribe link, however the unsubscribe link pointed to a non-aweber service, who said I had already unsubscribed from the list.

    In other words, I've unsubscribed, and they're continuing to send me garbage.
    I've set up a rule to auto-permanently delete them now (they're all roughly the same) and sent an abuse notification to aweber, because whether it's legitimately aweber or not, they're spamming with aweber's name.

    Not happy with the emails. I haven't used the product personally but seen it in action/enough reviews to know I'm not interested.

    I really don't see the point in sending spam in this day and age, especially to people like us who are a little higher 'in the know' when it comes to these lists.

    • Also interestingly I've noticed the creator of GoClickCash has had a very low profile in the Warrior Forum from what I've seen anyway. You'd think he'd be all over threads like these lol.
    • Yeah - good point. Maybe some of these guys aren't that hard up, but feel as if they are untouchable and can do what they want in the name of making a profit.

      Also, did you notice that Go Click Cash is no longer for sale?

      Must be because of this:
      http://robertplank.com/plimus-bans-i...eting-products

      There should be a new contingency waiver put in place for copywriters who write these salesletters expecting a % of the revenue that if the product they write for gets banned, they won't be paid their override. lol

  • To all of you out there.
    People who buy this are not stupid. Sometimes you are desperate for SOMETHING that works. What hooked me, was the real Clickbank check that was shown to the audience. Could have been photoshopped.
    The videos were TERRIBLE. As for the program, I don't know. I never got it to work. Neither they nor the hosting company they worked with were able to help. I got refunds on 90% of it, but now I can't get anymore because they deleted the support tickets!

    You are all right about credibility. A.C (not giving his full name--but he is all over CB and the web) is the guy who has created this) and I wouldn't even download a Freebie of his.

    Today, I got another email from them and guess what--after watching their 3 minute video it took me to INcome Entourage! Who. Guess what! Another long, boring movie, with a secret russian programer. OMG, don't these people ever learn!
  • That video is an amazing piece of sales. Nobody has brought this up yet. All that jerky stuff he does in the beginning isn't just him being a douche, he's establishing a high emotional value for himself. If you don't have any cash you can feel like a dope and ashamed of yourself, and he's drawing that out while also acting like a depressed cash needy guy might imagine a rich ******* to act like.

    Now, a lot of people have noted that, but they haven't noticed how the man's demeanor changes during the video. He gradually becomes kinder - still blunt and gruff, but hey, he's giving you dinner, he's letting you ride in the jet, he's talking about chumps while not including you with them - he's letting you roll with him. And if he thinks there's hope for you, why wouldn't YOU think there's hope for you?

    Obviously, it's a manipulative ad, but what do you call the sad videos of injured puppies limping around while Sarah McLaughlin sings in the background? Amazing work to the guy who wrote this. It borders on high art.

      That's pretty much what I had in mind when I wrote it. BUT I didn't want him to come across as an a**hole - which he does in the video.

      I just saw him as a guy that's made a lot of money and isn't being coy about it - and has no time for idiots. The last scene where he's about to get out of his silly-looking bathrobe and jump into bed with his P.A. is straight-out cheesy. And wasn't in my script.

      I also saw the guy in jeans, T-shirt and linen jacket - "Miami Vice" kinda style rather than the turtle-neck sweater and Bermuda jacket look. I saw him as hip and cool - like a rockstar - rather than a poser using limos, hotels and red-bra-flashing personal assistants.

      You gotta ask yourself - "Does this guy look like someone who works online?" I don't think he does. He looks more like a real estate salesman or developer to me.

      As for it being taken off Plimus - that doesn't surprise me either.

      "It borders on high art"? Nah. As someone else has pointed out, it's more like a Seventies porno flick.
      • [ 2 ] Thanks
  • Haha I downloaded it because of the same reasons FrozenHearts mentioned (except the "high art" thing LOL) - Amazing work Mal.

    Anyway, if anyone wants to "examine" it I can upload it somewhere.
