So its almost 6pm here and I was up at 4:30am, I have spent most of that time on Facebook. I can see how people get sucked into that site, my fanpages are getting pretty busy. I have about 26k fans over different niches. The fanpages have to be tended to, posting updates and interacting...
Just so nobody gets offended the headline above refers to my efforts to promote this blog and are not related in any way to real human trafficking, that kind of pimpin’ is bad. Web Marketing promotion is giant pain in the ass but doesn’t destroy lives, lack of pimpin’ can surely destroy a blog though....
Well it’s been two months since I posted my plan for a weight loss lead generation and sales scheme. I did get everything setup, it took a fair amount off time and a bit of money. ended up with a squeeze page and a series of 30 emails, the squeeze page sucked and so did the email series. I spent probably $300-$400 testing traffic and got an impressive total of 22 people to sign up for my email series.
I made exactly zero sales, not one nothing. That sucked pretty bad.
So what went wrong? I think that I did a bunch of things wrong with this and I hope I learned something. First of all my ads and message were just too general and not targeted to anyone. Just click here for weight loss tips. It is so lame as to be almost laughable. I needed to really target my campaign to a much tighter and more focused demographic, like say for example target brides that need to lose weight for a wedding. A targeted group of people with an urgent need.
I was just running very general ads offering weight loss tips. I tried the following traffic sources: 7 search, Plenty Of Fish, Facebook, google content network (got an account banned) and Lead Impact PPV. I also did some media banners using site scout. Just an all around unfocused scatter gun approach. They all sucked.
Hey Spartanboxes fans. I am back and ready to get to the business of inspiring the masses to lose weight and look great. It’s easy on the internet just enter your email here and away we go. You might be wondering, wait what? You haven’t updated this blog is almost forever, you have no readers and frankly no one gives a shit about your lame ass weight loss funnel.
I say to you loyal Spartan Boxes reader. I have been away making money online, I wrote before about my Facebook fan page stuff, well that ended up working out.
" Just Kidding Is All"
I have a small to decent little income built up from my facebook page project. I even did what all solid make money online bloggers do, I whipped up a training course with another marketer – Browie, and made a few bucks. I never did get around to blogging about it but trust me I meant to. The thing is when you are really busy making money online it’s hard to write about making money online.
So that being said I am back and in the process of setting up a lead gen sales funnel for the diet niche. Why diet? No special reason other than I had to pick something. My goal is all the money so I better get started. Below is a rough plan of attack, its cut and pasted from Evernote which I am going to use to document and refine the process and keep everything on track.
Rough Process Plan
1. Build Backend First
a. Pick Offers
b. Write Email Series for 30 Days
c. setup domain, blog
1c. google quality site?
2c. squeeze pages ( at least 2 to start)
Goal- launch in
2. Build Ads
a. dependent on offers/email sequence
b. dependent on traffic sources
3. launch campaign-traffic
a. Facebook Fanpage
b. google/ adcenter/ 7 search
c. POF ads
d. media/ sitescout ? mobile traffic?
e. Spam Twitter?
f. SEO- lol
Optimize- backend ideas
tweak traffic based on how it backs out and establish base CPA and optimize to that.
For example: Figure out how much each lead is worth and optimize for 100-200% roi
Data Management Plan- 2 weeks into 30 day main aweber sequence start another round of daily monetization blasts on the relay(maybe)
So that’s my basic plan so far. Each of those elements could be a post or process in itself. I was going to post this as a follow along on one of the marketing training sites but I figured, why give away my content. I will post here. Come and find it if you can.
Cast your vote and submit your email, that’s the idea of a CPA poll. This is an example here; Bristol Palin Nose Job; the goal of course is to get the voter to submit their email address on the backend and we are able to collect a small commision , in this case I think $1.50. I ran my first poll today on Facebook revolving around one of my fan pages. I just set the poll up and then posted the link to my fan page wall and let it go. I have no real idea if you are allowed to do this and I fully expect to get banned or something.
It did not go very well at first and I was about to scrap the idea as another fail. The offer I picked was a free Dove sample, this seemed perfect for my demographic, mostly older women. They all like Dove? I thought it would be a perfect match. The results were pretty terrible, after like 300+ click I only had 5 conversions. The offer was a low paying $1.00,I thought I would make it up in volume, wrong again. There might have been some kind of issue with the advertisers software or something because some people posted that they were unable to submit their info. I was not happy. I took it down and tried a few more offers, I was surpirised to see the winner was 4 free Tickets to Six Flags.
That’s a pretty huge difference and leads me to believe there was some kind of Snafu with the Dove sample offer. That is a real shame because it looks like I may have missed out on quite a few conversions. The clicks were coming in really fast at first but has slowed down a bit now. The good thing about the CPA offers is that you can get a little bit of money fast, but I am not sure how the customers react to it as there were a few complaints about the offer itself, that they had to fill out a bunch of crap ect. I think this might be a bad idea to hit too often, I made some sales yesterday through Amazon and got no complaints at all.
In fact I think I missed an opportunity with that Amazon stuff as well. There was an item that the fans would love but there was only one available at $50.00, it got 700 hits but of course only one conversion. My hope was that once they got onto Amazon they would look around and find something to buy. I did not pitch any Amazon today and spent most of my time getting these polls set up and figuring out the code for putting the offer in an Iframe with a header so that everything matched and was consistent.
I think I am a bit obsessed with this IM stuff lately, it has taken the place of poker now that the online games are dead. I did a quick browse of the forums today and it looks like another indictment for online poker rooms. I guess its good to have something to occupy my mind and making money on the internet is much harder than poker. I feel pretty excited about making a whopping $19.00 probably at about 100 times the rate of poker win. I mean $19.00 will barely buy lunch, back to reality.
Another thing that kind of annoyed me today was that I sent an email with a bunch of questions to the affiliate manager for the CPA offer. That was early this afternoon and I never heard back. There are a ton of companies that do this CPA stuff so I will look around and see what else it out there. These companies have some kind of weird deal where they make it seem like its hard to get accepted or something. That may be to keep out Nigerian scammers or something, I can’t imagine I couldn’t find more networks to deal with.
I just checked my stats and in the time it took me to write this, 20 minutes or so, I now have enough money for dinner. I am also about at break even for the cost of advertising to build the fan page. If this is scalable I will really have a winning plan, unlikely.
So its almost 6pm here and I was up at 4:30am, I have spent most of that time on Facebook. I can see how people get sucked into that site, my fanpages are getting pretty busy. I have about 26k fans over different niches. The fanpages have to be tended to, posting updates and interacting with people. That isn’t what I spent most of my time on. I got involved with making Facebook games, I got some advice that a great way to monetize your fanpages was through apps and games.
I got some software and was able to get it working to make three games. The idea is that you create the game and get paid for ad revenue plus you are able to add your own banners, I chose a Starbucks gift card CPA offer. I had the games running all day and after suggesting them to my fan pages I have made a whopping $1.58. That comes out to about .30 per hour, about my going rate in internet marketing. I was really disappointed at the feedback the games got and there were zero comments about them. I think the key to monetizing with games would be to have a fan page based around a gaming niche. I am thinking something Zombie related although I am sure that has been done. I tried an ad for one of the games to see what happened and I ended up with 1 click in 4000 impressions. A losing proposition for sure.
So I am feeling kind of beat down again, I had to force myself to make this blog post. I doubt anyone is reading, but I want to still have a record of whats going on and I am committed to writing everyday. I guess at this point I am just mailing it in as my fingers are moving and words are appearing on the screen but I have little inspiration. I am also feeling a bit sick, I think flash games make me nauseous or something. There was one that I thought was kind of cool though called Kitty Vac where the player has to bounce the kitties into a tube in order to save them from being eaten by a hungry dog. I thought this would be a hit, wrong again.
I did make 15 sales from Amazon which is kind of nice, there was nothing very expensive though and although I haven’t calculated it all out I am sure I am way stuck so far in the Fanpage game. I am probably being a bit impatient, as it will likely take time to build trust and friendships with my members and get the feel for when it is the right time to promote something without pissing people off and losing them. I need to study this type of list based marketing, in fact that was the information I was looking for when I got caught up in building these silly games. That is a pattern for me and something I know I have written about before. Tomorrow is another day and hopefully I can stay on track, I am thinking Zombies, yeah Zombies!
So I have some good news and bad news about my Facebook fanpages project. The good news is that after I wrote my post about all my failed ideas yesterday I launched a new one. Its been less than 24 hours and my new Fanpage has over 11,000 subscribers. They are crazy rabid fans and if I can’t find a way to make some money from this then I should probably hang it up as an Internet Marketer.
I was pretty pumped about this success and bubbling with related ideas. I just spent a few hours working on a new page and taking my time to get all the images and content just right. Then Facebook Static HTML tab broke, that really sucked and has me at a stopping point. I didn’t want to fire this new page up until everything was in place so that if traffic starts flowing I can hopefully cash in a bit as I have tied a CPA offer to the lander instead of Amazon. I am still unclear exactly what the rules are for CPA on Facebook and don’t want to do anything to get banned like I did with Adwords. If your reading this and don’t know what a CPA offer is, think Free Ipad or $1000 Wal-Mart gift card. The person landing on the page offers up their email address or Zip code or sometimes more and in turn the publisher gets paid $1.00 $1.50 each. What the network does with this email address or zip code I can only imagine but I would suspect the person will be getting lots of “great” offers in their inbox.
I have been sending out some Amazon links already to my current Fanpages. I checked Amazon this morning and had 4 sales. Not great but encouraging. I am not sure how long the delay is on Amazon stats but it is pretty slow, with CPA offers you can track the clicks and sales in almost real time. I think it will be more fun this way with CPA, its annoying to be left wondering if your making any money when you see all those people hitting your landing page. In general though I think Amazon is the way to go with these Fanpages, when I have posted links no one complained and in fact people on the list all chime in about the product and help to sell it. That’s pretty strong social proof for the other members to see. Amazon is trusted and people will get a good experience so hopefully I can push items over and over to the same folks.
I mentioned when I posted that I (the fanage) was making money from the Amazon stuff and that anyone who was going to buy crap at Amazon anyway should do it through the links and help support advertising the page to more fans, all true. I thought this might be a little aggro but I want to build a good long term experience for the Fans and didn’t want to have to always be sneaky. In another lifetime I was a direct in home sales person, our leads were set as “free estimates”, I found that it was much easier to close a sale when you just dispensed with all the “free estimate” stuff up front, I would just tell the customer that we were here to sell to them today. It went over much better than you might think, people are not stupid and appreciate when you don’t assume they are.
So at this point the Facebook scheme seems almost too good to be true. I am likely in for some kind of beat down, the Fans will not buy anything or I will screw myself somehow without knowing what I did, no need to get to surprised if it all goes to shit.
Just so nobody gets offended the headline above refers to my efforts to promote this blog and are not related in any way to real human trafficking, that kind of pimpin’ is bad. Web Marketing promotion is giant pain in the ass but doesn’t destroy lives, lack of pimpin’ can surely destroy a blog though. Lack of promotion is the reason that most people who start a blog or write online never get any following and give up. It’s the kind of pain in the ass where you have be a pushy salesman if you want to get noticed. Most people hate pushy salesman and don’t want to think of themselves as one. The thing is, if you don’t get out there on the corner and put on a Gorilla suite and wave at the traffic as it goes by nobody is going to notice you.
I have been spending a decent amount of time lately in a gorilla suite, I have been Tweeting and Facebooking and buying penny ads and trying to get people to read my blog. I even went around posting on some forums and begging to get Spartan Boxes listed in a popular Affiliate News aggregater. In thinking about this web promotion stuff I am convinced the key thing is going to be consistency. I am going to need to write and promote everyday. If I don’t do it I am sure there are 1000 people with shitty blogs just like this one who will. I have started to think of this blogging thing like a game, like poker sort of. In poker sometimes you can just out grind em’, get the money by being at the table everyday and playing your cards the best you know how and hope things fall right. That is my plan for finding readers for the blog, gorilla pimpin and grindin, enough terrible analogies for one post. Next.
In my goings on with regards to my main project the Facebook Fan pages. I did some testing and have found three things that I am pretty sure are not going to work. It took me a couple of days to come up with these genius ideas. They all sound quite lame now so I am not thrilled to share them but I will anyway.
I Hate My Tattoo – My idea here was that there are tons of people that have tattoos. Some of them surely hate theirs. I targeted females because I thought they might be likely to hate something about themselves ( thanks ABC after school specials). I also targeted ages between 25-30. My thinking here was that women who got Tattoos in college are in the work force and now and may regret that Tattoo on their neck. The idea proved to a FAIL.
Weber Grill Fans- I saw a show on the food channel devoted to the Weber Grill and its legion of loyal fans. I am starting to think these type of shows are probably produced by the companies involved. The total amount of fans that I was able to attract to my Weber Grill Fan page was singular. One fan, I won’t have any trouble picking the fan of the week anyways.3. Knitting Socks – Knitting seems like a giant niche to me. I know my wife is a knitter and constantly buying all manner of knitting related crap. I have been to a few events with her and people are spending money like crazy on knitting. I thought by drilling down and going for a sub niche within knitting I would be able to carve out a fan base. I have four fans, back to the drawing board. I am not giving up on knitting but will stew on it a bit and see if I can figure another angle.
So there you have my three failed campaigns from the last few days. In better news my Coen Brothers fan page has 4600 + members now and they are fun to talk to if nothing else. I will likely bust out of internet marketing, but at least I will have all these friends to show for my efforts. Not a bad deal really, in the case of this page the members are posting content and playing amongst themselves and its cool to watch so far. I was a longtime Facebook hater but I have to say that people do seem to have more fun there than anywhere else on the web, I am a longtime lurker in poker forums and the people there are just absolutely brutal by comparison. I think the accidental genius of Facebook is that because people are using their real names and their mothers are on their friends list they are socially accountable and far less likely to be assholes.
On a final note I see that using the numbered list function in WordPress is way more trouble than its worth. I am sorry to say loyal reader that I will not be spending anymore time trying to fix the 2. in the second example. Use your imagination. Nevermind I fixed it sorry for the mixup.
Facebook Fan Page update; my facebook fanpage is up and running. I selected the topic of Coen Brothers movies. I am a fan of their work and know that a lot of other people are too. They have a people page it seems on facebook but not a fanpage. So I started one here at Coen Brothers Fanpage.
It seems like I may have picked a winner here as so far over 3500 people have joined up in a little over two days. That is very cool, the fans are pretty responsive and we have had some fun with videos and a quote I listed yesterday that got responses in 17 seconds. Its fun to have something you create and put on the web actually get some attention. The way it works is that when people come to my page they are set up to first land on this page and hopefully decide to click the “Like” button and become members of the group.
Once the person selects the “Like” button the member then lands on the next main page where they can click on the Wall and where I also have an Amazon afilliate link based on related Cohen Brothers movies products. There were some issues with the setup of this whole thing, namely I screwed up the design and most of these 3500+ fans never saw the Amazon affiliate page and thus I had no opportunity to make any sales. What had happened is that I was changing the images on the first non-fan page and instead pasted the image link in the wrong box and made both pages the same, I suck.
I also have no idea if these pages will be profitable, my intention is to post mostly content and have fun, with some posts coming from my movie site RamblinMan Films. This is an autoblog that I setup months ago whose main job was as a page rank indexing slave for my failed rakeback site. I was really into SEO back then and setup a network of blogs to feed links to my main site to build google search traffic. It turns out that this movie autoblog got more visitors then the site I was building links to. I have made almost no money from either site at this point in any case.
So the idea will be to make the occasional post on RamblinMan films about various topics related to Coen Brother movies. I can also have some affiliate links to Amazon and maybe a Netflix banner or whatever and hopefully provide the list with good content and make a little money for my efforts. A win-win situation, or so I hope. I was thinking as far as content in general I could focus on one movie per post and because the audience is one from Facebook, maybe write about my thoughts and experiences as I remember them in my life when the movie came out. Not really a review as these fans have probably seen these movies over and over. The posts would be more personal, kind of like what each movie meant to me kind of thing. Thats the idea at this point anyway, I will update the blog here on how things work out.
If anyone reading this is interested in taking a run at building fanpages here are some links to help you get started. I am not an affiliate or anything for this stuff so don’t think I am pimping it just to make a commission. In fact I am not really even suggesting this is a good idea or that you should try it. I am just telling the reader what I am up to.
If you find a good idea and put your head down and work at whatever that idea is you will succeed. If you fail it is for one of two reasons either the method you were using was bad or you didn’t work hard enough. This sentiment has a good deal of truth but you rarely hear anyone talk about another factor and that is luck. Coming from a gambling background I think about luck all the time, as a poker player you see crazy examples of variance both good and bad everyday at the poker tables.
I went to the Warrior forums today to ask some advice about my Facebook Fan pages scheme. I have some followers now and wanted to try to clarify in my mind what was the best way to try to make money from these fans. The advice I got seemed great and everyone was very helpful, I was advised to set up a blog and then post updates to the fanpage through the blog feed. This way I can market affiliate links and list build from my site. I was lucky in that I happened to ask my question at a time when some experienced and giving members were online giving advice. I was also lucky because some of the advice in the thread I know from bitter experience was just plain bad. I was lucky again that I happened to have some experience with this particular idea and knew it sucked. I could have easily been led down a dead end and wasted tons of time and resources. So in this case hopefully I got lucky.
While I was over at the forum I got sucked into reading a few other threads. Something I think is generally a bad idea and a distraction. I couldn’t help myself from reading a thread from a guy who after 4 years of effort and only $300 made was thinking of quitting internet marketing. There was lots of advice in the thread and it was generally supportive in all directions, maybe he should quit, maybe he should try another method, maybe he should take a break. No one mentioned to the guy that maybe he is just very unlucky. I really believe there is at least some chance that this marketer did everything right to the best of his abilities and just kept picking the wrong niche at the wrong time and finding out about some really profitable method a little too late.
We all want to believe that success is based on hard work and talent and that this guy at the Warrior forum will never be me because I will work hard and never give up and I know I have talent so I have to succeed. The truth is we could probably be and do all of those things and still end up in the proverbial “van down by the river”. I know there are plenty of poker affiliates these days who feel like they got pretty unlucky that the government effectively put them out of business after 10 plus years of good times.
The poker world is filled with stories of players who got the lucky break at just the right time and went on to dominate the high stakes tables. They ran hot when they needed to and took chances just when a circus billionaire was chucking off tens of millions. Internet marketing certainly must have some of the same stories, you read in guru letters about the person who was ready to give up and then hit on the one idea that made money. They got inspired and worked harder and became a success. You never hear about the person who didn’t get lucky just before they had to give up, they are gone.
I guess the moral of all this rambling at least to make things clear in my mind, is that you can only work hard and make the best decisions you can in your marketing games. Just like in gambling you often have a bit less control than you would like to believe. That doesn’t mean that hard work and persistence aren’t vitally important but you have to at least get a little lucky and find a little success to keep you going.
I am going to keep writing about my efforts and hope that it can help me get a little lucky.
So the current thing that I am working on in my failing efforts to make money are Facebook Fan pages. If you would have asked me a week ago what a Facebook Fan Page was and how you could make money with it I would have had no idea how to answer. That’s my pattern in internet marketing , I start on something and work on it for awhile and either get bored or decide that its not going to work for whatever reason, and move onto to something else.
In the case of Fan Pages I stumbled onto this idea while I was trying to figure out how to make a Fan Page for this blog. I did get the SpartanBoxes Fan Page done and its getting some followers. It was fun to do but I don’t really see anyway to make money from it other than building up some readers for this blog. There again I don’t really get how bloggers make money although I guess through affiliate sales of blogging and make money online tools. So at this point I have the SpartanBoxes fanpage up and running. Some of you reading this may be members, if not join for god’s sake.
One more thing about the SpartanBoxes fanpage. I had an intro video made for it from Fivver. I thought the girl did a good job and I got a kick out of her review although it wasn’t kind. I hope the Fanpage readers like it. I also have another video being made and I will have to split test them to see which one converts more visitors into subscribers or whatever. Here is the video.
So back to the Fanpage idea, the broad concept is this; you build a page on Facebook about some kind of subject that people want to talk about. Then you drive traffic to that page to get them to like it, once on the page they have a chance to click through to make a purchase of Amazon stuff related to the topic. You are also then the admin of the page and you can generate activity and drop the occasion Amazon affiliate link into a post here and there. It sounds too good to be true really, I can’t see why it wouldn’t work well. I know that people love to buy stuff on Amazon and they trust the shopping experience there.
I am not sure if its going to work, I tried some Amazon stores in the past selling Popcorn Poppers but it didn’t work out. I did make a few popcorn popper sales last Christmas but it fizzled out after that and the internet got more cluttered with one of my failed websites. I have a few more of these failed webstores but I am trying to forget the whole experience so I don’t feel like looking around for the links to them.
I am however optimistic that this Fan Page idea could be a winner. It meets the criteria that I was talking about last time in the Hot Dog vendor analogy. People are on their way to talk about Coen brothers movies, I offer them in a soft sell kind of way a link to some good Coen brothers movies, they go to a trusted website Amazon.com and I make a little commision. What could go wrong? Well of course a bunch of things but I am not sure yet what those problems will be until they come up. At this stage of the scheme it seems to be foolproof. I will make big score!
So wish me luck and if you don’t see me around this blog for awhile you will know that I am too busy making bank on Facebook! Don’t worry loyal SpartanBoxes readers or should I say reader (hi Mom!). I will be back tomorrow with something else Internet Marketing related to fill a post. I have decided to post everyday. I wrote a book once and one thing the book writing Gurus talk about is that if you want to be a writer, you have to write everyday.
You would never see hot dog vendors in the middle of July selling cheesecake. I was thinking about this as I pondered my latest dream. Remembering a trip to Baltimore I had a few weeks ago; I was walking past the stadium where an Orioles game was about to start, a line of vendors outside were selling hot dogs, peanuts and Orioles swag. They were doing what good Internet marketers should be doing, something that I of course have not been doing, they found a high traffic corner and figured out what that traffic wanted to buy. They built trust by doing things like putting team bumper stickers on their carts and wearing Orioles gear, they monetized the traffic with something quick and easy, in this case team memorabilia and easy to eat ballpark food.
I would be the idiot out there trying to sell cheesecake wearing a New York Red Wings hockey jersey. I see plenty of other lame duck marketers doing the same thing, for example I remember reading from a guy who was all upset that he wasn’t converting his CPA offer of “college scholarships for moms” on his sports news blog, He really and truly didn’t understand that he was trying to sell cheesecake to people walking down the street in July. I’ve been guilty of the same thing.
The other way that the hotdog vendor is smarter than me is that he realizes the importance of building trust with this traffic. In this case people walking by his stand on the way to the Baltimore Orioles baseball game. He is of course building trust by having an Orioles sticker on his cart, wearing the Orioles hat and t-shirt and having the pre-game show playing on a radio. The vendor may in fact be a baseball fan.
A couple of good examples from my experience in online marketing are two of my first blogs I set up, knitting4cash and the other mypaleodiet. In the case of the first one I have in my life knitted one half of one dish rag and never made any cash. My experience at the paleo diet lasted less than a week, I continue to be a fat ass. I should not have been surprised when these two genius ideas were a bit less than successful. It takes traffic and trust, or so they say, to have any kind of success in marketing on the Internet. I actually was able to get some traffic to these blogs, but because the content was absolute reprint garbage and I knew very little to nothing about the subject I had no trust. I am sure there are paleo diet and knitting blogs that are successful, in fact I am sure there are because like a good guru follower I did my keyword research. The reason they were successful and I was not is because I was in effect wearing a hockey jersey in front of an Orioles game in July selling cheesecake.
The reason I got to thinking about this whole traffic thing was that I have a new dream working, that I’m pretty fired up about having to do with Facebook. I always heard that everyone was on Facebook but I never liked it, I saw the movie and that guy seem like a little jerk. The reality is though everyone is on Facebook so I started to set up a fan page for this very blog. I had no idea how to do any of this so I got to looking around the Internet and after a few false starts I found a guy selling a quick program to set up the fan pages. I like quick programs, fiddling with stuff and the challenge of trying to get something to work.
I won’t get into all the details of this program in this post since I haven’t really started using it much. I will write a bit about the sales experience of buying this little program and my impression of its creator SimpleSpencer. The process of buying this stuff is always the same; you need something, you buy it from the guru and you end up on the mailing list where they send you different Internet marketing crap. Simple Spencer actually seems like a pretty cool rider, his videos were very good and the information was up to date. I absolutely hate buying something to find out that the methology is based on something that worked in 2009, which in the world of Internet marketing might as well be 1860.
The basic idea of it is to take traffic from Facebook build trust through a fan page and then monetize it by selling related stuff through affiliate links and mailings.
I also like his personal sales letter, although I have to admit I didn’t read the whole thing as it seemed to be going in the direction of most guru sales letters about the guy who started from nothing and made it work, you can too. If I ever have a guru sales letter I’m going to tell the truth and say I want to work on the internets because I don’t like to put on pants and I am a lazy slacker in general. The sales letter also made me think of the Blues Brothers scene where Jake and Elwood are in the restaurant and Belushi looks over at the table behind him and says how much for the women.
The stuff he is selling is well made though and he has a pretty wife.
