on your blog today, and I’m very impressed with how well you’re doing. The
reason I’m contacting you is for a joint venture opportunity. It’s a simple
opportunity, and will require very little of your time. Basically, you will
display a banner, button (or an ad genre of your choice) on your blog in place
of one of your normal ad spots. You will be given a special tracking number and
website to view your ad statistics. For every sale we make through the ad on
your blog, you will receive 50% of the commission. We earn $1,000 per sale,
which means you will earn $500 and we will earn $500. So even if you are
selling ad spaces for $250 a month, if only one sale comes through your ad you
will double the revenue of that ad spot. Currently our product is averaging a
20% conversion rate. Feel free to email me or call me (561.313.6267) with
questions or if you would like to joint venture with me. Thank you for your
time.

In the past 32 weeks we have made $10 million. Basically, all you would have to do is let me know if you want to do banner, button, rss feed text ad, etc. I will supply you with the ad and a tracking system, this way you can keep an eye on what the ad is doing. At the end of the month I will send you a check for 50% of the commissions that the ad has earned. I figure with the type of traffic your blog gets, this offer goes hand in hand. Please let me know if you'd like to join me. Thanks for your time!

If you want to give me a review copy, I can write and in-depth review and if the product works out, I think I could drive a lot of new signups with it.

Let me know,

I wouldn't give out any details on what exactly it is, but I'd explain the type of business I was doing and how much money I really made with it. If I have success with it, you can almost guarantee there will be a TON of signups and full purchases to it.

Well, Paul, first I must say that I am definitely that confident in the product. However, if you were to actually get into the system our joint venture would jump to a quite larger scale. Instead of you and I both splitting a $1,000 commission, you would make $1,000 for every sale you make (if you'd like to check out our payment plan click here). And the people on my team with your type of knowledge and background are knocking the cover off the ball, one gentleman earned $50,000 in his first month. So if you would like to actually get into the system, you could easily double your income from this joint venture and we could really work together to make something big happen. Man, I'm getting all excited now, I gotta tell you I am a very big thinker and hard worker so this opportunity is just really pumpin' me up! Let me know your thoughts

Let me know what we need to do to continue and give this a shot.

Also, once you have gotten into the system a little bit, we might be able to team up and get some of the other major bloggers to send out a review to their RSS subscribers. Also, I don't know how much you use Google Adwords, but I have an incredible tool that could help you get your blog even more traffic for .04-.10 a click (of course as partners I'd help you with this for free ...ok, anyways, to move on into the system you are going to have to invest to get into the system (unfortunately I have no way of getting you in otherwise)...but here's what I'm going to do, if you haven't made back your money within 8-12 months, I will pay you $3,000. I can even do a little contract for both of us to have on record if you so desire. If all of this sounds reasonable then click here, you're going to see a picture of my buddy Ty who created this system, right below his pic is a link that says "submit application" I will keep an eye on you as you make your way through the system and I'll give you a call either tonight or tomorrow (most likely tomorrow as it is already sort of late). Man, this is so awesome, anyways I'll talk to you later!

I'll help you write a review and I'll give you a domain name to put into the review that way when you send it out you will be able to see how many people click on the link and move through the system. The first link below is to view these stats and the second link is the one you can actually put into the review. This is the best I can do, I hope you're ok with this. Let me know!

Paul, there's no reason to get offended, I'm just trying to help both of us. I would let you in the system, but it's just not that easy. Because it is a system the only way for someone to get into it is through payment. I'm not trying to pull a fast one on you, I don't care about your money. I just thought this would be a beneficial joint venture for both of us, I don't understand why it has to be so difficult. I never said I was going to write a review for you, I was thinking you could just ask me some questions and I would give you the facts about the system, but I guess everything I'm offering you just isn't good enough. If there's anything else I can do, let me know. Take care.

I'm not going to ask questions and have you give me bullshit answers about just another eBook that promises things it does not deliver. My offer was more than generous, I was willing to give your "system" a fair shot and then even blog about it's success and refer thousands of dollars in new affiliates. Instead you just tried to sell me the system yourself, and I'm NOT one of the poor suckers who falls for that shit.

Originally Posted by Tommy Says

Dude, I never tried to sell it to you, I just misunderstood what you asked me initially. This is getting ridiculous, I'm really not trying to create drama with something like this. I thought we were going to have a great joint venture, but apparently we are not on the same page with communication. I don't know where you got the notion that this is an eBook, that's certainly the complete opposite of what our system is. Anyways, you seem like you'd rather just not do it, so take care, Paul. Good luck with your blog. And I apologize for upsetting you, that was never my intention.
