Offer to a Spammer, How could they Refuse

Posted on December 15, 2007
Filed Under Starting your Online Business

This week I received yet another get rich quick e-mail. Another offer to make me wealthy for doing absolutely nothing. All I have to do is sit back, and watch the money just pour in. Of course it does involve me giving away 40 of my better friends as an initial investment, but hey, after that, its all good. After all it is guaranteed right? Below is most of the email, I have left out the links intentionally for obvious reasons, but I am going to make an offer to its author at the end of this post.

Brand new FREE e-book reveals revolutionary new money making system……..it’s yours free of charge. I’m just giving it away for nothing. Some people say I’m mad, but when you see my system you’ll realize I’m a genius.

How to turn your computer in to a virtual ATM. FREE e-book download

Download it here:

Internet marketer breaks all the rules and just “gives” you his system. He’ll swap his Payment button and put yours in its place. He does all the work, and you make all the money……..100% of it.

I promise you’ll be making money in a few hours from now. It’s like nothing you’ve ever seen before.

Hurry before the crazy man comes to his senses and stops offering this out.

Sounds to good to be true? So I downloaded his e-book so you don’t have to bother, and below are some excerpts,

I’d like you to completely forget the concept of “selling” altogether.

Wow that sounds good right, but wait it looks like he changed his mind…..

“Even though my system gives something away for free, it is also selling something (it has to
if it’s going to make money, right?). But remember what I said about other marketers and
methods only having a 1 – 4% conversion rate? Well with my system, the conversion rates
can be up to 90% and even sometimes higher!”

And in this free e-book, I promote and sell a product which is a collection of software and
marketing information. And the clever part is I manage to sell this product to almost every
person who reads this e-book.

This offer concludes telling me I would receive 100% of the profits from my special link, which in effect would make me a spammer. Sir, add me to the list of non-conversions, but I have an offer for you, my e-mail is all over this blog. Sign me up with your 40 bucks and turn my computer into an ATM. I will send you my first 3 commissions for absolutely nothing. Thats right, you don’t have to do anything. After that its all mine. I will write a post thanking you , God, and anyone else on the planet you desire, for the opportunity you gave me to Get Rich Quick and make money online.

Until then, I will continue to post about the truth in home based business opportunities.

Stay the course folks, stay the course

Great post Don! If more legitimate bloggers and on-line businesses that get bombarded with all this stuff would try what you just did, perhaps we would all be a lot better off and maybe even a little richer if their products truly did what they say…my guess is he/she will have no response.
