If We Stop Tweeting Inspirational Quotes, the...
Aaron Alexandra Ngoh is a “gentle internet marketing giant” who’s been building multiple income streams since he was 16. And if there’s one thing he knows, it’s that PEOPLE F*CKING LOVE INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES. When he’s not fueling you with inspirational quotes from legitimately famous people, he’s earning a fortune from his (wait for it) MySpace page...

Thought Leadership Is All in Your Head
Josiane Feigon may be a crackerjack marketer, but these days, offering countless webinars about lead conversion just isn’t good enough to stay ahead of the pack.

For starters, his site looks clean.  (As does the site he manages with his wife, the equally  clip art-laden Success Chef.)  He obviously took the time to design it in a passable way, which is more than I can say for 99% of his competitors, whose design skills have...

Exploiting the Desperate from the Comfort of Your...
Check out this guy, who’s on his way to help people get registered to vote in the 2008 US presidential election.  While he’s en route to empowering the people, he’d like to take a moment and fleece them for a few bucks first. Also, notice the tags he’s used to make sure his video gets seen: Case in point: How did I find this video?  I was Googling Al Sharpton. ...

'Cause You're Growns Up and You're Growns Up and...
Trent in Swingers would be so proud of Twitter.  Tweet Me Amour believes Twitter has finally grown up because it’s become a marketing sinkhole — and who are we to argue with a guy who’s selling the top Twitter marketing tool AND warning us about teeth whitening? Well, evidently someone begs to differ with Tweet Me Amour, because one of the links in his spam stream above has...
