Steve Wagenheim Consults on Idea to Sell Internet

I love that they're all making references to the million dollar homepage, yet none of them seem to understand that in that case people were at least buying an advertisement and not a graphic of a fake share of the internet... they actually think that this idea is revolutionary and will be moderately successful AT THE VERY LEAST, possibly HUUUUGELY successful!

The sad thing is, if they really do go through with it, I'm sure the rest of the "warriors" will buy shares and they'll probably end up making money.
 


Yeah, this shit has been done over and over. Like the above poster pointed out - lunar land. Also naming stars, etc. Let's sell something that I have no right to sell! At the very least it's fraud. Though they try to justify it by putting fine print in saying, "These are not real shares of the internet".

I guess the people on the short yellow bus have to keep themselves busy with something.
 
Just makes me appreciate places like Warrior Forum and Digital Point all the more. Think of how much of that sewer overflow would drift this way if they weren't there to soak it up first. Did I see a guy reply in sales-letter speak and then get high-fived for it? Holy shit dude! I wouldn't touch that with kryptonite condom gloves.
 
dunooo ppl do like stupid shit. maybe you can't get people to fork over a decent dollar amount - but you can ask for something else ppl have loads of: time.

"pay .03c/share of interwebz ORRRR fill out our special offer and get 1000 bytes of internetz so you can show off to your friends" - run some incent shit.

normally id outright bash them, but you gotta remember that the warrior's retardedness is somewhere near the retardedness of the general population.
 
I thought it's common knowledge that Paul Myers and Steven Wagenheim blow each other while *Ms. TMG Enterprises in the room next door banging out her "ezine articles".

This shit just makes me mad.

And sad at the same time.

But when I get sad I stop being sad and I get awesome instead.

True story.
 
After reading that (fuck you barman), I came up with an awesome idea to start a company and put out a press release indicating that it is the only authorized distributor of shares of The Internet, and then offer to sell them shares of that company so they can get in on the ground floor of a revolutionary idea and actually have the authority to sell share of the Internet. But then I decided to make a sandwich instead. Because I'm hungry. Fuck it.
 
Wait so they're saying I can get a GoDaddy certified domain AND own a piece of the internet??? Well fuck me with a rusty rake.

This settles it. I'm selling out and making a guru product.

As sad as it seems, and while I can't fathom Wagenheim possibly making close to 6 figures peddling his trash, how hard would it be to sell 100 copies of some guru product at $20/pop? That's 2 grand for very little work. The people on that site are brainless sheep and will buy anything that seems like it will make them money.

All you need to do is create some kind of character that is exposing new SEO secrets that the "black hatters don't want you to know".
 
I'm going to go against the trend here.

No, I don't think they should be trying to do something like this together...if someone wants to do it, it should be a one man operation.

However, I do see the potential here. No, it's not something I would bet my main source of income on, but for someone who has some free time, it would be an interesting project.

You have companies that sell stars, moon plots, etc... obviously those are not real, and neither are these "internet shares". It would be a novelty item, that I think a lot of people would get a kick out of. Myself include, I work from home, so why not have a certificate showing everyone I "own" the Internet. I can see these being something for anyone who works from home, or works on the internet, or someone who is just on the internet a lot (and I'd say about 80% of America is addicted), again, just a cool little novelty item, nothing more.

I know it's cool to bash WarriorForum, especially Waggs, but I don't see the problem with an idea such as this.

I have a bridge in brooklyn to sell you. Also some quality swamp land in Florida as well. Want to display a certificate that you bought that stuff too? This type of thing isn't novelty, it's a scam at the best of times.

The internet is not a "thing"; it's a communication medium. You might as well display certificates that you bought shares in sound waves.
