Arbitrage Conspiracy Review

By | December 9, 2008

UPDATE: This review is now outdated, and I do NOT recommend this product any longer. Additionally, the feedback I received from my readers who purchased this product was generally negative. Apparently the sellers did not deliver what was promised. I initially supported this product after attending their live presentation in Vegas, which in my opinion was high quality. I even went so far as to defend it in some of my comments below. But these guys let me down, so I’m sorry I recommended it. I am leaving this review here for informational purposes only. I have removed links to their site from this review.

12/09/2008

While we’ve seen a handful of “big” product launches in the Internet Marketing arena in 2008, this one will probably be remembered as the biggest.

It’s got a bigger “hook” ($100k a day) and more gurus promoting it than anything I’ve ever seen.

So before I jump into the nitty gritty, let me make a few things clear…

1) I was at the Vegas “invite only” event, where they unveiled Arbitrage Conspiracy. No I didn’t pay $10k to be there, but I could see why they would have charged that much.

2) There is no way to review the product in its entirety, because it’s going to be a 12 week course. In other words, no one has actually “seen” the product. So I can only base this review upon the content that was presented in Vegas, combined with what they are saying the product is going to be.

3) Everyone at the Vegas event signed an NDA, so I can’t reveal many of the details. However, some of the details have now been made public by the makers of the product, so I can talk about those things. Also, I am certainly able to give you my opinions about the content I received in Vegas, without revealing specifics.

OK, so I’m actually going to start with the bottom line, and then I’m going to go into more depth to justify my opinion…

Bottom line: I am fully recommending the Arbitrage Conspiracy product/program for anyone who understands what it’s about and is interested in scaling their PPC campaigns to high levels.

Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, let me tell you the good, the bad, and how I came to my conclusion.

In case you’re not yet familiar with the Arbitrage Conspiracy story, and the characters behind it, let me fill you in…

It’s about a guy named Aymen (last name withheld), who is reportedly making between $50k-$100k per day NET profit using PPC (pay per click). His main method is promoting offers from CPA (cost per action/acquisition) networks which pay per lead generated.

Aymen works with two other guys on this business, one of whom is a partner in the business. They have requested to remain anonymous, but I did meet one of them in Vegas. He was a very nice Christian guy… I wish I could tell you more about him, as he is proof positive that this business can be conducted with integrity.

The guy who is essentially “bringing” the Arbitrage Conspiracy to the world is Brad Fallon, a recognizable name in the Internet Marketing world. You may know him from such things as StomperNet, Free IQ, etc.

The first question a lot of people may have is… is this for real? After all, $100k per day is a lot, right?

And IF it’s real… then why would Aymen be revealing his methods to the world?

To answer the first question, I will say yes it’s real. I’ve seen their commission statements with my own eyes. But more than that, it’s really not as unbelievable as a lot of people may think. There are a lot of people making that much money; there are just not very many who are teaching how to do it.

A couple months ago, a product was launched by a guru who made $2 Million last year from PPC. It was touted as the greatest PPC revelation of all time. Now these guys come along who are making more than that every month. It’s only a matter of time before the next PPC guru comes along and says he’s making over $1M per day. The Internet IS that big, and it will happen.

To answer the second part of the question (why would he teach it?) is a little more complicated. The most frequent answer you’ll likely find is: because he wants to give back.

I’m sure that’s true, as Aymen and his associates are nice guys… but this obviously isn’t merely a philanthropic endeavor. After all, there are plenty of ways to give back to the world, other than revealing your trade secrets to your competitors.

The obvious ulterior motive is to make more money selling the program. And with a launch of this magnitude, plenty of money will be made.

The other ulterior motive (although publicly mentioned by Amen in an interview) may be less obvious: Aymen is starting a CPA network and wants to train an army of super affiliates to promote his offers.

So hopefully that satisfies everyone’s desire for a reason why.

Now, the most important part…

Can they really teach you how to replicate their success?

Yes, I believe they can. When I produced The Next Internet Millionaire, I learned from Kris Jones (founder of PepperJam), that a successful Internet business can be built in three steps:

1) Find something that works. (period)
2) Replicate it. (period)
3) Scale it. (period)

It’s an ancient formula, and it’s been applied by many people to PPC since its inception. For example, Kris made $1M in one year from PPC arbitrage before starting the Pepperjam Network to scale his business to the next level.

So the CONCEPT is not new. All Aymen has done is taken a successful PPC model (developed largely by his own trial and error), replicated it, and scaled it into a $100k/day business.

And generally speaking, the business model is not new either. In fact, PPC arbitrage has been one of the most taught methods in this niche for the past several years. There are countless ebooks on ClickBank teaching it (I was initiated into it by Chris Carpenter’s Google Cash ebook years ago).

So what’s different about this?

It really comes down to the specific combination of tools and techniques that they are using to thrive in today’s market. Research is fundamental to their success.

Aymen and his team are truly on the bleeding edge of technology as it applies to their business. They have formulated a systematic approach to research, PPC implementation, landing pages, conversion, and every other element.

They’ve been able to leverage their system to the point that they only work part time (a few hours a day) in order to achieve the results they are getting. In my opinion, that’s impressive!

Their system is so good that it caused virtually everyone in attendance (including myself) to drop their jaws in awe of what they had presented to us.

OK so now it’s time for me to tell you what I DON’T like…

This is somewhat difficult to say, because I don’t want to tick off my friends who are launching this product. However, if I didn’t say it, this wouldn’t be Eric’s Tips. 🙂 If all I said were the same things as all the other “gurus” then you might was well unsubscribe from my newsletter right now, because you obviously don’t need more of the same hype.

I have a problem with the way they are positioning the course for newbies. For example, these are the top 3 bullet points on their current landing page:

“How he got started with a mere $50!”

“How to get completely set up and open for business in 24 hours!”

“How To Make Massive profits with No Website, No Product and No List”

I understand that a newbie can follow this system, but I do not believe those points are representative of the course as a whole. Although the business is fairly simplistic in nature (buy clicks to earn profits), I think their systems are more complex than they may realize.

Yes, Aymen got started with $50, but he also spent millions of dollars testing and developing his methods. There are also a handful of software and memberships that you will need to buy to implement all the methods.

Yes, you could get a PPC campaign up and running in 24 hours (or 24 minutes for that matter), but that barely scratches the surface of the Arbitrage Conspiracy methods. I consider myself to be an EXPERT, and it would take me a matter of weeks to implement all their techniques.

Yes you could make profits with no website, no product, and no list… but that’s not the emphasis of the program. A lot of their methods use landing pages, and landing pages are part of a website.

In fact, I would go so far as to say that if THOSE are the things that you want to do (start a business with no more than $50 investment, set it up in 24 hours, and make money with no website), then Arbitrage Conspiracy is NOT for you!

You don’t need to invest in a 12-week content-packed course to learn how to do that. You could go buy a $47 ebook on ClickBank and learn the basics of PPC.

So who is this for?

In my opinion, Arbitrage Conspiracy is for anyone who wants to go BEYOND the level I just described above.

It’s for marketers who understand that they have to spend more money on PPC in order to make more profits.

It’s for marketers who are not afraid of embracing new technology and methods.

It’s for marketers who can imagine themselves making $100k a day.

And it’s especially for marketers who already know how to create a profitable PPC campaign. If you fit that description, Arbitrage Conspiracy is a good choice for you, because it will show you how to take those same campaigns and crank them up to the next level, and then to the next level, etc.

Without a doubt, I would say this is the highest level of PPC education ever offered.

Whether you’re an intermediate PPC user, looking to ramp up to the next level, or a Fortune 500 CEO looking to figure out how these Internet geeks are making more money than your entire company… I recommend this course for you.

As always, you are welcome to leave your comments here on the blog.

Have a great day!

    Hi Eric,

    Well, I certainly commend you on taking all the criticism — but, you know, I notice that the bad is more than balanced by all the good remarks you have received. So, all in all, you should feel good about things.

    I have a bit of advice for newbies. Rather than jumping on the Arbitrage thing, or into the latest MLM adventure, take the time to learn some basics. If you cannot afford web hosting, setup a free blog on Blogger or by using WordPress. Then, learn by promoting a few Clickbank products, and drive traffic to your blog by article marketing.

    Say what you like, but article writing and posting on sites like EzineArticles or GoArticles, is one of the best methods of getting highly qualified traffic to your blog or website.

    The main thing is to do something for yourself! Do not just surf around, looking for the latest easy money making idea. Simply by doing and learning the basics, you can move beyond the “newbie” stage.

    All the best,
    Laurie

    Great post.

    Subscribers might need to ask Clickbank to require strict new standards in sales letters for Intnernet Marketing merchants.

    Merchants should be required to state who their product is specifically aimed at, and the skills, tools, and time required to make use of the info.

    Hi Eric, Great review! I’m watching this thing with great interest! I’ve been taking similar training from a guy that taught Ayman about PPV and Contextual Ads and am fascinated with this whole CPA and cheap traffic angle. It can be huge – no doubt! Scaling up is the key and if I can learn just one nugget from Aymen to get me there faster – I will be thrilled! I don’t expect him or anyone to do EVRYTHING fo rme! Man… some of these people are not just negative Nellie’s they are downright depressing! It’s sad to see so many untrusting people. It’s negative attitudes like that preventing the doors of success from opening. Eric, you naled it when you rveealed his motive – he will be stating his own CPA network and wants to have robots ready to send in the leads – I can’t think of a better reason than that alone to teach others how to do it!

    Eric, it’s not even a question how much they are really making. The question is ‘What kind of teachers are they?’ Do they have any experience teaching? No. It’s not sufficient to do it yourself. Teaching is not that easy. Now, if they try to fool people that they are not using websites, started for $50.00, etc. chances are that they lie about other things. I do not believe these people, therefore I will keep my money for now. The reason I am writing here, is because I wanted to thank you for your review.

    Hello Eric, I for one would be very interested in following the success or failure of those who purchased this product. You might think about doing another campaigne based on those who puchase through your affiliate link, and take a survey of how they are doing. Then post it. This would probably be the most telling and useful imformation that you could possibly provide to your subscribers.
    Thank You- Daren

    I totally agree with you about wasting time. I have a mirror image of your life. The call was out of hand and way to long. There was no value to me. It was a hyped up promotion and I can say that I got nothing accomplished yesterday and stayed up way past my bedtime. The call could have been done in half the amount of time and I would have been fine with that. So Dale it’s ok to ramble because I feel the same way.

    To our success

    That is a good question… and actually Aymen and his associates are good teachers, based on what I experienced in Vegas.

    And I doubt that Aymen wrote any of the sales copy on the page. I honestly don’t know who wrote it. But since he name is on it, he is still accountable to an extent even if someone else wrote it…

    Thanks

    Funny – I was just about to write you (Eric) saying you had a long-term subscriber, after seeing the honest and straightforward review you published.

    I won’t be purchasing the product, and some get-rick-quick people will, which is sad. But, how Jaisne can hold you in anything but the highest regard for your integrity is beyond me.

    Hi,

    If in fact these guys were making $100k a day do you really think they’d be grubbing around trying to sell this product ?

    But hey its got plenty of ‘dumba** redneck appeal’ so you can get bet many will buy it, and both affiliates and promoters will be able to grow their sucker email lists for future plunder.

    A free lesson in applied internet marketing for the rest of us !

    So sit back and enjoy show — just keep your pocket books closed, lol.

    Hi Eric,

    Kudos to you for being a true professional in every sense of the word. I’ll be linking to this post from my own blog, as I think anyone considering buying Arbitrage Conspiracy needs to hear the pros and cons.

    I couldn’t agree more that in MOST cases, if you’re new to internet marketing, or just barely getting your feet wet, these uber priced ginormous launches are not for you.

    While I believe it does take money to make money, as I’ve heard all my life…I don’t believe you need to or should go into debt to make money online. You *can* start with next to nothing…it just takes longer, that’s all.

    I’ve always said when I finally started making money online I would share as much knowledge as I possibly could to as many people as I could reach, and I wouldn’t charge them a cent for it, much like you’ve done.

    There are billions of websites out there, and millions of people coming online for the first time every day. There’s so much money changing hands online I can’t see a reason why anyone who wants a piece of that action can’t have it.

    And if I can do anything at all to help people achieve it, then I will. Will I recommend products I use and love? Yes. Will I offer a bonus if people buy through my affiliate link? Yes. Will I promote every shiny new product that comes down the pike? Never.

    You’ve set an admirable model for internet marketers to emulate…give, give, give, and then give a little more. It all comes back to you tenfold.

    Thanks for being a shining example I’m proud to tell my readers about.

    I am interested in the featured program you list about The Arbitrage Conspiracy. This looks like an excellent opportunity for those of us that are getting started and don’t have a product. How ever when looking at the CPA network sites they seem to be looking for marketers that already have a very active web site or a large mailing list. In fact the impression given by reviewing the sites is that unless you have one of those, don’t bother.

    I understand more information is on the way but in the mean time can you shed any light on the process or the steps needed to get started.

    I did make a token amount of money using the techniques in the Writing Cash program a few months ago, but after the first 2 sales nothing and other campaigns didn’t produce any sales so I put them all on hold and started studying again.

    It would seem the key is finding the right promotions and keywords.

    The CPS networks would appear to offer viable offers but how does a newby get approved without a website with a lot of visitors or a large list?

    Reply
  20. Eric Post author

    There are a handful of networks, such as CJ which are easy to get approved with. Start with them. Next, build a website. In my lessons I talk about the importance of having your own website, and this is another reason why. You can get a website online for about $20, so if you’re serious about the business, there’s really no excuse not to. You can start at LESSON #23

    Even though your site will be brand new, you can make your website look like a well established business, which will help with some CPA networks.

    And start building a list. I use Aweber

    You have to start sometime, so you might as well start now… and even if it’s a slow start, you can gradually build your list and website. Then in a matter of months you can go back to the CPA networks who turned you down and tell them you have a website and a list.

    By the way, sometimes all it takes is a personal call or email to a rep at the CPA network to show them you’re serious and you have a viable game plan.

    In Arbitrage Conspiracy, they actually tell you HOW to talk to a CPA network… things to say and not say. Basically you want to talk THEIR language and not sound like a newbie internet marketer.

    It is so refreshing and reassuring to get such an honest review – detailing exactly who the product is suitable for. Luckily for me I have an extremely tight budget, so have not been able to take advantage of the many ‘amazing guaranteed to make me a millionaire’ offers that come through my inbox each day. I know that when I am looking at something, a thumbs up from you is an excellent start! Thank you!

    well initially I think it was supposed to be EST, so my guess is that they switched it to PST at the last minute hoping they’d have their problems resolved within 2 hours… but alas… ANOTHER launch disaster LOL (I know they’re not laughing… and neither am I really… LOL ok now I am)

    Hi Eric!

    Thanks for the review of AC. It convinced me that I don’t know enough yet to do that. Which brings me to this: When are you going to get back to teaching us how to get going? Your Tips emails were great, but lately I am just getting pitches. I know this is how you make a living, and I don’t mind; but I can’t use what you are selling until I have a business up and running.

    Thanks and Merry CHRISTmas.

    Here we go again, the launch has been put off for 24 hours. Here is what it says on the site.

    Eric, think about this for a moment.

    Why teach this? Because of step 3): Scale it out.

    And that’s tough to do without qualified people.

    It’s a pretty common technique esp. in the upper echelons of business, actually. Find something that works, replicate it (teach it), then scale it out (find people who can work the process).

    Real information, a $~2,000 barrier to entry, limited supply, and a real opportunity.

    What better way to screen potential candidates for a multi-billion dollar organization?

    CPA is simply where marketing is headed, as you point out.

    Hi Eric,
    While waiting for AC, I’ve taken the time to check out one of your products, “Trading Pro System.” I’m strongly considering buying it. Is it really a 15min a day endeavor? Is it specific and practical or mostly generalized like buy low and sell high advice? Anyone out there with experience with this product?

    Mak- Funny you have been rejected by so many CPA networks… YES– I listened to the hype promo last night… I even cut my day job short to make it home to ponder the thought of buying the program. Wella!! I get home and no website to view or purchase…Technical difficulties.. Is the man upstairs telling me not to venture into the unknown?
    Back to the CPA rejections- I have applied to Hydra, Neverblue and CPA Empire (now called Affiliate.com)and accepted to all 3. Now just to drive forward and thrive on the knowledge Eric is providing.
    Hey Eric- Thanks for all the info. I am in PPC Classroom 2.0 and your blog exceeds the 2.0. As for other programs like Commission Blueprint, HyperVRE, Niche Revolution and Profit Lance- which have all been returned (not Profit Lance- one time buy -no backend products- GOOD!)
    Your review of the Conspiracy has been upfront and honestly taken to heart. I am glad I am on your newsletter. You saved me $2K. Thanks.

    Yes it really is, with a couple disclaimers…
    there’s 24 solid hours worth of training material, some of which you may need to watch twice. In other words, you need to take the time to learn the system (and we recommend practice by paper trading) before you can be confident logging in for 15 minutes, setting up your trades,and taking the day off. Also right now due to the market volitility, it is helpful for some (but not all) of the strategies to watch the market a bit more frequently during the day.

    It is very specific and practical, not generalized.

    I’m amazed that you think you can ‘get away with’ the old, make a few negative points about an offer and pitch it at the same time trick…do you think we came down in the last shower?

    After dialing in internationally to the call that was said not to be missed (except it’s now on their site!) and putting off my crying baby in hope to get some ‘real’ answers I am nothing but sickened by Brad Fallon and his guru fan club doing what they’re doing.

    Soon to be guru “Ayman” claims to want to help everybody and all, I almost believed him. Except when I set my clock for 3am to check out the launch to find it’s been put off. Only to find it gets put off again and then the pathetic ‘technical issues’ hype page goes up. This is just the Stomper launch all over again. To put people through this sort of crap tells me that the program mustn’t be all that good as they need to ‘falsely create’ demand. How pathetic that Fallon and the ‘gang’ would stoop to such a level.

    They really had me until 3am and then I smelt the rat. I then had a look at the affiliate page (you yourself are very familiar with that:)) to discover the email they suggest we all send to our lists. In my words it goes something like “Dear list member…I’ve attended a $10k ticket seminar and it blew me away…blah blah….” So once I saw that they recommend I lie to my list members well Fallon and his crew lost me for ever. The fact you wrote that you didn’t attend the seminar was the only hope I have that you just might be on the right side of the fence but really I doubt it.

    I expect this won’t be moderated to air on your site, if it is then maybe you will get a vote of confidence from me, but that’s not what you need…you need the commissions from my AC purchase which is never going to happen. If you ever did have a good name in IM you’re about to ruin it I suspect.

    I thought your readers might appreciate this behind-the-scenes info about Arbitrage Conspiracy. It’s an email from Gauher Chaudry, a very well-known and respected marketer in CPA and traffic brokering methods.
    ————-
    I have received a number of emails from my readers
    and customers regarding the launch of “Arbitrage
    Conspiracy” slated for today at 3:00 pm EST.

    I was invited to the $10,000 Las Vegas show but
    didn’t go because it was too short notice for me.

    I have not seen the course, so I can’t comment on
    the calibre of the material.

    Therefore this email is not an endorsement (you
    will NOT see any affiliate link), but rather my
    opinion based on the number of emails I have
    received asking my opinion and the forum thread
    that has started in the PPCF members area.

    What you will read is not hype, but rather the
    truth. Sometimes the truth can get distorted
    during these rather large product launches.

    I was well aware of this course almost 3 months
    ago because the guys behind it, Aymen and Emmanuel
    are both Pay Per Click Formula and Pay Per View
    Formula owners.

    In fact, Aymen and Emmanuel met each other at my
    PPV Formula seminar last December in Toronto.

    Most of don’t know this, but Emmanuel goes by the
    username OSR in the forums and you can spot him by
    the quality posts he has made in the forums.

    A lot of you are asking whether the numbers being
    thrown around (i.e. $100K net profit daily) are
    legitimate.

    Yes.

    I know these numbers sound absurd, but it really
    is quite possible to make these type of profits.

    How do I know this?

    Because for some of the CPA networks they were
    driving the traffic to, they had signed up under
    my REFERRAL link so I was getting anywhere from a
    2-3% percent commissions.

    I was stunned when I started receiving huge
    referral checks.

    I called them up and said, keep doing what you are
    doing because I like the nice large referral
    checks for doing nothing.

    I met up with Emmanuel at the CX Digital affiliate
    advisory meeting in October and he further
    explained to me how they were scaling their
    campaigns to get massive results.

    I told them that when they were ready to launch, I
    would be their number one affiliate.

    But that will not happen because I have not seen
    their material and therefore can’t endorse their
    course in all fairness.

    Now, when the Arbitrage Conspiracy report first
    came out, I was a little bit taken a back when
    they started revealing the Alexa technique.

    Now, I don’t claim to own the concept of bidding
    on domain names, but I know that the strategy of
    harvesting related domains from Alexa is only in
    PPC Formula.

    So I sent an email to both Aymen and Emmanuel
    yesterday before their teleseminar asking why PPC
    Formula material is being revealed and how closely
    related their material is to PPC Formula and the
    subsequent release of PPCF 2.0.

    They both immediately called me and explained that
    their was no bad intention to use my material and
    that their course is very different.

    Aymen told me he tried to reach me before they
    released the report for review, but I was in
    California for the PPC Classroom event.

    Did I believe them?

    Yes, because both are stand up guys.

    It was Aymen who lent me his tech team and servers
    for months to host some of my web sites and he
    NEVER charged me for this.

    Aymen has been gifted with great intelligence. He
    is only around 25 years old, but talks like he has
    50 years experience under his belt.

    No joke.

    Aymen actually called my the day before the Las
    Vegas event and went over the highlights of his
    presentation with me to get my opinion.

    I told him him that that there was no way he would
    be able to cover everything in one day.

    Emmanuel has shared with me insider tips and even
    sent me some of their PPC tools that were created
    in-house.

    So while I can vouch for their credibility, I
    *still* can’t say anything about the course
    itself.

    Aymen did indicate to me on the phone call that
    PPCF members were not the targeted audience and it
    may not be a good fit because of some overlap.

    But I *may* have to disagree.

    *If* the course itself can provide some insights
    into how they can scale up so large, then it may
    provide some good value to PPCF members.

    The course is not cheap. It will cost around
    $2,000. If you have not done anything with PPC
    Formula when you bought it, then you will probably
    not do anything with Arbitrage Conspiracy either.

    Brad Fallen is behind the launch as Aymen and
    Emmanuel needed a top guru to promote them
    because they were not known to the IM world
    until this launch.

    I almost feel sorry for Aymen and Emmanuel because
    it doesn’t seem like they have full control of
    this launch.

    The Arbitrage Conspiracy launch has gotten too
    hypey now with almost all the major gurus
    promoting it.

    While there were a few people who paid $10,000 to
    attend the seminar, all the gurus (maybe 95% of
    the group) got in for free.

    So if some guru who is promoting this says he/she
    paid $10,000 to attend, chances are he/she is full
    of s**t.

    Now, most of these gurus who went to Las Vegas for
    the seminar were dumbstruck by the presentation.

    And they should because most don’t do PPC.

    They sell their own products and have email lists.
    So this was all new to them. But they were there
    because Brad Fallen wants them to promote the
    course.

    If this was an event on how some guy was making
    $100K a day with PLR info products, then people
    would also be freaked out right now about PLR
    rights.

    It is really that simple.

    I heard from other heavy PPC marketers who did
    attend the seminar say that they only got a few
    nuggets of info, but not a whole lot.

    So your response to the Arbitrage Conspiracy
    course will really depend on how advanced you are
    with PPC.

    Aymen and Emmanuel run a very advanced operation
    with staff and there is quite a bit of technology
    involved.

    If you think they live the affiliate lifestyle
    where they work for a few hours and than surf the
    waves the rest of the day, then you are mistaken.

    Both are workhorses and sometimes only sleep a few
    hours a night.

    It has required A LOT of hard work and dedication
    to achieve these staggering results.

    There are only a handful of affiliates that I know
    that have received these incredible results and
    the only other friend I know pushing similar
    numbers is Amish Shah of the Hexatrack fame and he
    has indicated that he has a team and also uses
    advanced technology.

    So it is not as simple as buying the course and
    you will be making $100K a day in a few weeks.

    You have to have a passion for this PPC to CPA
    stuff in order to make it work successfully.

    The main reason for the Arbitrage Conspiracy
    course is for a lead-in to their own CPA network.

    So that is my take on this entire launch.

    I really have nothing to write about the course itself because I don’t know anything.

    Use your own judgement.

    Best wishes,
    Gauher

    I didn’t fail Juliet … I used to own a CPA network and know all the lingo. I know how to buy and sell traffic, leads, you name it.

    This system is a ploy and these guys are using unsuspecting “victims” to bankroll the launch of their own CPA network.

    Most of their victims will fail miserably … I say this with 100% certainty. This has to be one of the biggest cash grab scams I have seen in a long time.

    I still make good money through arbitrage and CPA deals but it is a hard road to haul and requires a significant bank roll (credit card or whatever) to float.

    Bottom line, this is not for newbies and it is not for people who will shell out their last $2k … expect to spend WAY more than $2k just to get the wheels turning.

    I can almost bet that their sales letter will not warn people of this.

    First, it’s not a “trick”. It’s a product review.

    Also I didn’t say I wasn’t at the event. I WAS there… what I said was that I didn’t pay $10k. That was a sticking point for me too. I don’t like that they were trying to make it sound like I paid $10k, when in actuality I don’t think anyone there paid full price. That’s in contrast to say for instance, Mike Filsaime’s 7 Figure event that I attended, where I met a LOT of people who paid the full $5k price to be there.
