Life After Andy X's Insider Signal...

After the big splash the Insider Signal course made last year it was only a matter of time before similar financial trading courses were released.

The Insider Signal showed that, with the right sales pitch and promotion, people would readily shell out over £2,200 for a set of CDs...

Handy to know if you are a information publisher, don't you think?

So, shortly after Andrew "Andy X" Riley's Insider Signal course was closed off from the public, 2 new courses are on offer.

Both are CD based courses, both are £1947 + VAT and both carry a "no questions" refund guarantee.

In one of the sales letters the creator says that he has discovered a "secret indicator" which is virtually unknown.

This signal can apparently allow you to take £2,000+ a week out of the markets - in less than one hour per day!

Sounds familiar... :)

The same sales piece states that most systems can only make £200 to £500 per month.

In terms of trading, this statement makes very little sense.

As a financial trader, if you can make 10 points per month you can make 10p, £1 or £100 million a month. It all depends on how much you stake per point.

Let's say I use the same system as you and we both follow the rules exactly.

Now, if I am staking £1 per point and you are staking £1000 per point, we aren't both going to make between £200 and £500 are we?

It's a very strange point to try and make when you are discussing financial trading.

It'll be interesting to see what the buyers make of these new courses and whether these courses will sell anywhere near as well as the Insider Signal...

Nick Laight and the What Really Makes Money Newsletter

I have added a new page to the site recently which features Nick Laight of Canonbury Publishing.

Nick runs a monthly newsletter called "What Really Makes Money".

http://www.What-Really-Makes-Money.co.uk

As the name suggests, the publication covers various business opportunities and ideas that Nick has come across.

He covers each opportunity in depth and then gives his opinion on whether it is a viable money-maker or not.

As well as being a professional copywriter, Nick is a biz opps expert, he's been in the business for over 15 years working for top companies such as Fleet Street Publications.

I subscribe to Nick's WRMM newsletter and highly recommend it, especially a such a ridiculously low price.

RIP Data Entry and "Type at Home" schemes

In a shake-up of its marketplace, Clickbank has removed several extremely dubious "Data Entry" products from its catalogue.

Some of the most popular such as Data Entry Pro and Data Entry Bank have now disappeared.

These products, and I use that term loosely, were grossly mis-advertised leaving a lot of people feeling scammed once they had paid their money.

Of course, not everyone swallowed the loss and many people took up their complaints directly with Clickbank by asking for a refund.

Obviously, the high number of refunds demanded has prompted Clickbank to act and now these schemes have been removed.

But...

There are a great many people still advertising these products via AdWords and their own "cookie-cutter" sites.

Until word gets around these people will be running adverts which lead to dead Clickbank pages - wasting money in the process.

There's a lesson to be learnt here - don't promote rubbish because it might not always be around and you could be left with a hole in your bank account plus lots of useless links cluttering up the internet!

If you missed it the first time round, here is the page on "Data Entry" schemes:

Pathetic eBay phishing attempt

Got a lovely email today from eBay member "4ow".

Or at least, that's what it looked like until I actually opened it.

The content of the email was simply HTML in its raw format. The moron who sent this out couldn't get his head around the simple process of sending HTML email.

Obviously someone from the Czech Republic has a lot of time on his hands so he is crafting this rubbish and spamming 1000s of email addresses:

"I've sent you the money for the item and I have not receive any it from you!

You are an asshole who tricked me and If you don't Respond Now!!! and explain me what happen' I will contact eBay to report you and I also go to the police!

I am waiting your Respond Now! You have to know I am not so stupid as you think!!!"

To be honest, I think this particular email spammer is even stupider than I think, and his spelling is appalling.

The "Respond Now" link points not to eBay but to a page on the domain mujweb.cz.

A quick WHOIS shows the owner as a Michal Blaha in the Czech Republic.

If you get anything like this in your email inbox, delete it.

Don't bother replying, clicking on a link etc. Just get rid.

You should only ever log into eBay or PayPal by opening a new browser window and typing in the web address in the "Address Bar".

Never click on a link contained in an email which claims to be from eBay, PayPal or your bank.

If you do, you are just helping these desperate morons such as Mr Blaha here.

Focus 4 the Future Seminar, Birmingham

I'm currently at the Focus 4 the Future seminar in Birmingham which runs from Friday the 1st of September until Sunday the 3rd.

Speakers so far have included Robert Puddy, Martin Avis, Joel Comm and Mike Filsaime.

I've taken copious amounts of notes throughout the speeches so expect some details in future newsletters. The speakers have covered a whole load of information about internet marketing, some great stuff they are using everyday to expand their businesses and make a boat load of profit.

Robert Puddy covered list building, Martin Avis went through the ins and outs of Private Label Rights products, Joel Comm explained how he makes as much as $800 a day with AdSense whilst Mike Filsaime just finished a 2 hour session on Advanced Strategies of Master Marketers.

Stay put and await a full write-up on the weekend's events. I highly recommend attending an event like this, the tips you pick up are superb and the networking element allows you to meet loads of like-minded people over a beer or two!
