Its come to this?

Yikes, I've been to the brig for less.



That line never worked for me in Thailand.



Here is a dollar.. hold this.



I am still waiting for someone to buy something.



No wonder I am broke.



Darn right!


All the way to the bank.


IAS.. great post Claude.

It's like how Claude makes all of his videos in the vacuum department at Walmart.

Tag,


That is not what he meant. There is a hidden gem in the post and the link/page that reveals "sumthang." Think about the subject of this thread and dig deeper.


Frank is doing everyone a "goodthang" so just follow the yellow brick road.

There's no one easier to sell to.

"Look, I get it, you've bought 3, 6, 9, 12 - maybe more programs in the past, all promising the same thing - untold riches. I feel badly that I didn't get my product in front of you before making all those mistakes, but in a perverse way, it's a good thing, because now - now you'll be able to see why this will be the last product you'll ever purchase."

After 12 mistakes, who won't take one more gamble???

Reminds me of working for my uncle at traditional offline auctions. He was very successful.


After four weeks of his mentoring and traveling with him to auctions he sent me solo to an auction. When I returned he said I made two times the profit he expected me to make and had called the auction house to find out what happened.


Now back in the day an auctioneer typically told the crowd what the item was and a very brief (if any at all) description of the product and would immediately start the bidding.


That always seemed lacking to me and I mentioned that many a time to my uncle at previous auctions.


At this particular auction I knew the same would happen, so I made it clear to the auctioneer that I would give a brief pitch and with a signal the auctioneer would start the bidding.


End result was we sold twice the products and earned basically twice the usual profit. Admittedly, if I was not such a greenhorn we could have done better.


Went back to the auction house four weeks later. This time accompanied by my uncle. This time I was armed with more knowledge about the high-end products.


Earned a little more profit and nothing to more.


On the way back home, it was a long ride, my uncle said did good and passed stage one training. "Stage one?" I asked. He smiled and said something like "Stage two of two of my training started now."


It was the first time I ever heard "keyword" and "keyword phrase" and "know your market" and others. He taught me to relate to the buyers with keywords and phrases and more importantly they all want high value products as cheap as possible. He also taught me a lot about profit margins.


To my surprise we did not go home. We traveled to the warehouse, restocked the van and headed for a different auction. He explained this particular auction was known among sellers as the Hard-Sell. When done right the profits could be amazing. When done wrong the profit could be miserable.


When we arrived. day and half later, he introduced me to the owner, surprised me by saying goodbye, he was going to church (meaning a poker game) and there I was. Another four hours later, same scenario as with the previous auctioneers was arranged, followed my uncle's advise utilizing brief keywords and phrases. Long story short, we broke some of the house records for quantity of sales and my uncle later said we broke his own record for profits.


Thought that would at least earn me a bonus and an extra day off. Not! Uncle pointed me to a rented car and gave me a schedule. Back in the day rented cars were unheard of and it was my first. Mission?



This time he said I would work for two other gentlemen and just keep on keeping on. Right? Whatever? I had the keys to a new car a full tank and I was okay with that. Still needed one more thing that all young and dumb men need.



First thing I did was call my girlfriend, told her to pack a suit case and did a beeline to her house. Heck, uncle would understand I thought. He did. My aunt was a different story. I ended up getting me and my uncle in hot water. He just grinned.


At the auction, pretty much the same thing happened at the previous auctions except for some prime time breaks between auctions if you know what I mean

i feel contempt for your audience to.. well not real contempt .. i was in it for a while ..probably never bought anything from you. stopped buying most info products 10 years ago and reading motivation books ..

as a former user ..dreaming about making money sitting behind a keyboard.. while i was driving to my crappy jobs that where physically beating my body up.. I now understand that the dreaming ..or the big ideas of making lots of money easily.. where just ways to get the sarotonin flowing or get dopamine hits ..

the 30 -50 dollar information products and the 20 dollar books.. where much better ways than the time a bought a car during a manic high episode..before i knew i was bi polar ..after i got on meds and i went zombie mode for 2 years i was on them and a few years after ..nothing worked to hit the dopamine receptors ..and i helped the gut who repoed the car load it on the truck ..

the dreaming pahse or buying dreams is great for the times when life isn't great .. but you are not really ready to do anything about it ..

but when everything falls apart and you have to find what works .. that actually leads to improvement in some area ..

there is also a thing for me .. that i thought i needed a lot of money .. to fix several issues in my life.. over the past few years.. i have been able to fix them or balance them .. without the need of a lot of money ..

Things actually changed for me the 2 months a spent in the Philippines a little over 4 years ago or started to change ..

Keep on rambling man. Good stuff.

Sounds like you just read the Richest Man in Babylon, Clayson in disguise ?

Your dreams are everyone else's nightmares.
