I just opened an email from one of the lists I’m on that’s promoting a new info product. The email copy was pretty good, so I clicked through to see the product page. Now I’m a little baffled.
The story told in this product’s salespage is outstanding and really hits home with me. But, I kind of wonder… is it real? Check it out and let me know what you think in the comments.
It’s about a guy who was doing well online while his family and friends were struggling to pay their bills on time. He had given a few of his family members large amounts of money to help them out and just a couple months later they were in the same boat again. Then he says, it dawned on him. He decided to teach them how to make their own money online instead of just giving them money.
So, he put together a manual of everything he was doing to make money online, and shared it with his family. He helped them all get setup online and asked them to check in with him daily so that he could monitor their progress. They were all super pumped to get going.
Then, to his dismay, they didn’t check in with him like they were supposed to. He didn’t hear from them for several days in fact. Then he called them, and they all said that they had gotten busy with their lives and forgotten to check on their online accounts that he helped them to setup.
So, he waited while each of his family members checked in on their accounts. Lo and behold all of them had been making money on autopilot for the last couple of days and didn’t even know it. This of course started his families success, and they all continued to make money online for the following year.
Then about a year later, while at a family dinner, his family members said that they had a small gift for him. They handed him an envelope with a card, and a small box about the size of a jewelry box. He opened the card and it was a great sentimental thank you from all of his family for helping them to escape all their money problems and finally start living life.
But, for the life of him he couldn’t imagine what was in the box. Then he opened it… it was a set of car keys. What???
Then his family took him to the backyard where they had been hiding a brand new BMW 745i that they had gone together to buy him.
WOW! What a story. This one really connected with me. I’m in almost the same boat with my family. I make a really good living working online, and yet I watch some of my closest family struggle to pay their bills each month. I’ve actually even started teaching my younger brother what I’m doing online, so that he can start making some money online too.
Now, the big question I have is whether this story is even real. I mean, it’s a great story, but I’m struggling to believe it 100%. I’d like to think that it’s real, but it all sounds a little too hokey to me.
What do you think? Check out the story. There’s some audio that pops in, just kill that and read the story. I think you’ll agree that it really sucks you in.
Leave me a comment below and let me know what you think about the story. Do you think it’s real or fake. But, no matter what I have to say it’s a genius piece of copywriting.

In my opinion this is just REALLY good sales copy.
If you had never heard anything about internet marketing or affiliate marketing you would probably be sucked in and be getting your credit card out of your wallet quicker than you could tie your shoelaces, but if you are even a little seasoned I think you would see it for what it is.
Most of the time something promising you a $100,000 a year salary would not cost just $49.
Even after all that, part of me was willing to fork out the $17 (you get a special offer if you close the page) just to read the report, but I didn’t.
I don’t know how good the product is as I have not read it, but would love to hear your opinion Jamie, so if you get it, let us know.
Warm regards

Yeah, I agree Kelly. This is REALLY good sales copy.
I haven’t picked up the product yet, because I too, am a little skeptical. I just thought the sales copy deserved a review.
It really tugs at the emotional side of a sale, and really tells a story that drags you in. The best thing is that even within the story the copy is still hitting all the right buttons to get the reader fired up.
If anyone has picked up a copy of this product, I’d love to get some feedback on the product itself. The copy is great, but I’d still like to know how the product holds up.
thanks,
Jaime

I got this one in the mail a few weeks back. The guy who sent out the email is usually fairly particular about what he promotes, so this one took me by surprise. My first impression was that it`s most definitely being targetted at people new to making money online, as there`s no mention of any specific techniques such as Adwords, Clickbank, SEO etc.
That said, I did enjoy the story. I listened to the audio as I didn`t have the patience to read it all. I`m quite certain though that a voice actor was hired to tell the story. He sounded too professional, much like radio announcer. So if anything, that part was most probably fake.
The story itself did sound convincing, but there were a few parts that I wasn`t so sure about such as all the family calling within a few minutes of each other and of course the BMW they bought him. It was a top of the range 7 series if I remember correctly? A bit too much I think

Yeah, I thought that it was kind of odd that there was no mention of anything specific as far as how the money was being made. There are obvious Clickbank screenshots, but short of that there is nothing that tells how he’s making the money.
He mentions several times that his family didn’t log into their “account”, but doesn’t mention what type of account.
Anyone else have any experience with this system?
