Hi...
So far, out of 3 pages of replies, Ken and Tom have figured out what I'm talking about...
===================
Not sure if your posting relates with Mike F.'s offer where he is paying a dollar for each referral a person brings in to give them a free report...
But, I will say since the eleventh of November til now I have seen 788 people in both 1st and 2nd levels of my account. That's 788 one dollars I have now collected... All for sharing a report. But there is mor to it than the money.
The report is an eye opener IMHO. and I'll stop there.
===================
Let me share with you an excerpt from the file. (Note that I left out the indented "asides" so an not to lose the point) In the report, he says;
So, what happens now is, the "Cross Pollenization Effect." Everyone is on everyone else's list. At a meeting I was at in Manhattan recently with Yanick Silver, Mike Litman, Rich Schefren, and Brad Fallon, one other marketer recently said "It's like everyone is sleeping with each others' sisters."
It is getting gross!
The death of X... we did it to ourselves. Anything good gets played out like a Good Seinfeld Episode.
The result, list-building will still work, but nothing like it used to. We have forced people to either unsubscribe, use filters, or worse, kill their email address and start over.
Then... having said that, he invites people to "share" the document with their list and he'll pay you a buck. On two levels. So if I download the report from you and get my sister to download it, too, you sold me and my sister to Mike for $2. A buck a person. And you cross pollenated your own list.
Essentially, here is what's happening. Unless you think you are a better marketer than Mike Filsaime, you are selling me to him for $1. Because now I'm not just on *your* list, I'm on HIS list. And if YOU send out an email recommending a product and Mike sends out an email recommending a product, who am I going to buy from? Him? Or you?
Further, if Mike is promoting *his* product, and you are promoting *your* product, whose am I going to buy? Yours? Or his?
As I continue to get tons of emails about this report, I have developed a new respect for the people that are not promoting it. Because they understand the cross pollenation he's talking about and know their subscribers are worth more than a dollar each.... two levels or not. Finding out who those people are is the real eye opener. *wink*
