Stuff of the day

I've been watching every video I can to try and absorb as much as possible of the  paid content my 7-day trial allows.

In between I was googling something and noticed the ad for Lattitude.

It instantly struck me (which is perhaps some measure of NoozeHound) that it would be of most use to pimps tracking their girls. Secondly I considered drug-dealers looking to arrange personal supply.  Of course it could be cabs, or pizza delivery or cheating spouses, but pimps and ho's and G's and N was what occurred to me first. Too much San Andreas I plead your honour.

I thought I'd found one hot niche today (that's neesh  - as in quiche by the way Adam, not nitch as in ditch) having put it through the tests which all proved favourable; it turns out there is likely very little to write that hasn't already been written.

There are 4 e-books with ludicrously high conversion rates and I doubt I could come up with sufficient original material to fill another., let alone a mini-course and an audio-book! 

Back to the drawing board.

It was quite exciting for a while there - the work was a little daunting but it was exciting nonetheless.  I am dead tired now and have promised Noozehoundette I won't spend all day watching videos on the PC tomorrow.  I just know the whole time I'm doing anything else I will be thinking how I wish I was on the net looking for my business opportunity.

Still no comments I notice.

Just came from Twitter where a rabid attack on the NHS seems to be going on fuelled I would say obviously by American Health Care company advocates.  Release Barabbas.

Welcome to the disappointment.

D-Day

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.
