After I did my mornings exploring of new and exciting challenges (or job hunting as some folks call it) I set about trying to find anything more on, ideally an expose of, the epic $1 course I was receiving the hard sell for.
All I could find, page after page after page of what looked like explanations only to turn out to be misleadingly titled introductions to the landing page and initial video. I even found a Digg item proposing to reveal the truth about NPC scam. 'Aha' I thought, 'finally pay dirt'.
Nope, just another page repeating what the course contents are. So I carried on searching. Until I found the page where they were marketing the affiliation. Now it all dropped into place. Quite why they made the claim that you can earn $94K in one month seems a little baffling. By their own claims, if you could put through enough affiliate traffic and ultimate conversions, you could be collecting $100,000 for just 10,000 sign-ups.
I also found some discussion on a webmaster site that basically suggested that the content wouldn't be up to much if it was so easy and would not be genuine original knowledge as it wouldn't be from an expert or otherwise easily found on the web for free.
So rather than chucking up template niche sites, it seemed that affiliating with the program would yield better reward than actually sign-up for the 142 video tutorials. Despite all of this I still find myself considering the $1 offer, I have a few hours left!
Whatever else they may or may not be, their marketing, mispronounced and laden with typos, does seem to be very powerful.
Later it was all confirmed for me when my original sign-up sent me another newsletter, essentially 'fessing up. The newsletter pointed to a blog post that talked openly about the affiliate programs he was currently promoting and how and why he was doing it.
Well if nothing else it's given me content for my blog!
Welcome to the disappointment.
