WOW... Would You Pay $9997 For This?

I was part of Howie's Conversation Domination group for 12 months. He's also part of the Stompernet staff. He really is an interesting fellow....kind of an acquired taste (big grin)...War, pillage, take no prisoners mindset. Now a lot of his techniques are "grey to blackhat" (or as I like to call it... "Polk-a-Dot Hat") and have a short shelf life IMHO, but they can be used to get traffic and $$ for a period of time.

As far as $9997...... just go to an event where he is speaking, meet him in the bar afterwards, start buying him drinks.....ask him about his business.... buy him more drinks....rinse and repeat for a few hours. You may get 75% of the good stuff but only pay 2% of the costs. Just an idea :-)

Also ask him what he wears when doing his conference calls... :-)

Would you mind to share the tips you generously gave to your cousin? :p

I was looking at coaching programs but obviously this one looks like for more exprienced marketers?

Little rich for my blood.

I really like Howies free content and he always has some interesting stuff. But after buying his black hat is back course, I wouldn't get anything from him again. He waffles a lot through his videos and spends the first 10 - 15 minutes of his modules telling you about more products. Also after watching loads of his free content, it seems he just starts rehashing a lot of content and makes lots of products out of them. Plus a lot of what Howie does is just based on scale i.e. don't make 10 squidoo lenses, make 1000, he is a master of outsourcing.

"apprentice 3 which is a weekly private coaching group with a rev share with Howe"

a little known fact about the apprentice program is that the project managers are the ones that are going to promote all the content the members create, most definetly with automated/semi automated software. so you have a ton of members creating content for the same niche(s), then it getting promoted (bookmarked, published on 2.0 sites) by them and the project managers. Of course some of the content is gona stick and rank well. Now- of all the apprentices that think they can do what every1 did collectively on their own, theyre gona find out they need to buy the automation software because its way to tedious to do it on your own, or hes gona tell you to use his outsource team.

His method- put a bunch of content (duplicated, doesn't matter) on as many web 2.0 properities as you can, and interlink them with each other as well as to your money page. So each property is going to hav a link to 1 or 2 of the other properties, and a link to the money page. Do this with videos, bookmarking, squidoo hubpages etc, then ping eveything. However, it's only going to work for products/keywords with almost no competition. He recommends finding things that have little traffic that you expect ppl will search for soon (product launches), or highly specific terms, product model numbers, etc. It may have been good for one product, but every product is this same exact thing, all getting less than mediocre reviews, with one occasional person popping up to praise him, only because he DOES seem nice and truthful, until you find out its an act. He's making his money teaching the method, not by doing it, and trying to make as much money as possible while it lasts, hence a product every day it seems. Don't pay for his products, just find people in forums that explain what it is. I can't believe he's in stompernet.

P.S. He always disables his chats now for live events because people don't respect him, and end up spamming the chats warning every1 not to buy his stuff and getting it for free at forums. What do you expect for acting like such an idiot all the time. Skip his methods and have a good idea and build a business around that- obviously every1 teaching these quick hit money makers end up teaching it instead of keeping it to themselves for a reason.
