Yes, it's time to air out the dirty laundry of Internet Marketing.
Why are hundreds of thousands of people who are trying to start, launch, and grow an
online business - with all of the information available showing you how to do that - still frustrated, confused, overwhelmed, and no closer to the success you desire than when you started?
(And even worse - further in debt and totally
discouraged from continuing after your dream.)
Well, I'm exposing exactly what the problems are and it's all revealed in this special report I've just published for you which will give you some real answers, expose the real truth to what is going on, and more importantly give you some real help you can depend on - and I'm calling it:

I spent close to 20,000 dollars on the Internet over the last few years.
All I have to show for a hole in my back account and a lot of software crap which only works for a few month then packs up.
I learned again no one is going to do for you with an automatic marketing system which you must do your self.
Returning to the old and the true call on the telephone to follow up leads.Close them the old fashioned way.
So i will make it point to return to the old ways but the sure ways a combination of things.
I will teach those who work with me how to market.How to do the cold call.Make an honest profit together

I look back on the mistakes that I made while trying to make it in Internet Marketing, and of course as usual hindsight is always easier than being right smack in the middle of an issue. I wanted to learn so much in internet marketing and I felt as if I needed everyone's package and they were going to be my savior to my road to internet riches. But if there is anyone reading this please listen and don't do what I did. You must pick just one area of the internet you want to specialize in just in the beginning, ex: Adsense, blogging, affiliate marketing etc. just pick one and learn all you can about that one area and make money at it to start and don't even open your other emails, they don't matter and you will not be missing a thing, i promise. Once you learn all you can about that one area and start making money, then pick a second area of specialty and do the same thing, learn and earn then move on to another area. You will reach success much faster then you will with any other method. I am a real estate investor and teach others how to become wealthy investing in real estate and fixer uppers. I advise people to do the same thing I just wrote, but didn't follow my own advice with internet marketing.
Much Success,
Greg Filer

I've been watching Internet Marketing for years, and it looked just like the countless MLM meetings that I let friends drag me to for years before that. This report describes exactly the same symptoms that I saw in my MLM friends, and I suspected was going on with most of the Internet (including eBay) people that I never got to meet. This report's Table of Contents could be used for a MLM report.
X-Factor Traffic(ology) (including Seth Godin's saying "If your goal is web traffic, it's hard to think of a better place to start" than Trafficology, convinced me that these are probably the guys I will want to (finally!) follow onto the Internet. Especially since it talked about getting traffic in ways other than paying big dollars per click at search engine auctions.
I wasn't convinced that the the many companies I read over the years were even getting people to their clients' web sites, never mind closing the sales - any better than the MLM meetings.
This report confirmed my suspicion that those countless companies promising countless, instant dollars (sometimes with very little work like just typing in some blanks) were producing mostly people who were wasting as much time and money as my MLM friends (unless they were in at the start-up). I'm glad I didn't spend much time or money on either (except to do friends a favour when they were trying to get some success going - MLMs are good places to develop persuasion, sales and public speaking skills for less money than tuition, and there's at least a chance of financially coming out ahead.) I hope I'll be making money by getting them onto the Internet making good money.
X-Factor (when it arrives) will need be reviewed to help me decide if I want to go Nitro. I look at history - track records. Trafficology's Fort Knox is the best offer I've ever seen to check a company out.

I know many people are been ripped off when they first started out in their internet business venture. And that frustrate me as well.
And your report is timely, to educate the freshies what to look for when selecting materials or courses for their learning. Well done!

It seems that honesty, fairness and compassion are the missing ingredients of internet marketing these days. Fortunately, it took me but 9 months of confusion, impulsive buying and quick disappointment before I ran into the guys from NITRO Marketing! The Dirty-Laundry-Report is just that…a report on the unethical, dishonest practices of not just a few of our "gurus" and wanna be "gurus."
It's as if there is a sickness in today's marketing and this report not only brings that out but the fact that there is HOPE! Follow a blueprint of success and you will be successful! Thanks for the honest, candid look at where I've been for the last 9 months! Thanks to you guys at NITRO, I'll hang around a little longer!
Mary said:
BAM!!! you hit the nail right on the head. I have been subscribing to every news letter out there that has promised me they have the answer. It's gotten to the point I am afraid to go into my email. I have lots of email now and no knowledge of how to do internet marketing. I know some of the things I need to know but no idea in what order I need to implement these things. Please help me out. Thanks Mary
Kathleen Gresham said:
Your report is right on target. Sadly a lot of the bamboozlers just plain lie.
Another scam I've seen a lot is so-called gurus encouraging people to throw together just any old junk and sell it. A few months ago the fad was to make a bunch of worthless interview videos and sell them for high prices.
One could say that you can't blame the newbies who follow that advice, because they are ignorant. But I think they must know they are selling junk. They are just greedy. Some of the gurus seem to be encouraging the idea that it's OK to scam people (as long as you don't use the word "scam").
The first package i remember buying was sold as a "step-by-step" system for newbies to make money. It was a huge JV launch touted by top superaffiliates. And it was a complete rip-off.
On the other hand, one of the best "step-by-step" programs I bought at the beginning cost me weeks and weeks of work, searching on line for a script that was *provided* by my autoresponder company. The guru neglected to tell me that (and he owns the autoresponder service). How was I to know?
Anyway, thanks for the report. I wish I had had it way back in March, when I started.
One thing I can say about the last few months: I have learned a lot.
Kathryn said:
I agree…there is alot of hype out there. So much for the step by
step programs that tell you a lot of "What" and not any "How".
It goes a little deeper that "Get a domain name." "Get an autoresponder." Write an article." "Send a Press Release."
That is all fine and dandy….but how….I mean how do you use the"tech" to get the job done…. Like…how do I connect the dots to all this "tech" business.
No body tells you really need to know html in order to get up and running. All the big guys have a full team around them….I'm sure they are not writing their "squeeze pages" at this point. Oh they tell you…go to frontpage or nuv or some such program… and you do… but it looks like greek. No instructions. No helps that are grass roots basic.
They don't tell you what they "really did" to get started…they come from the point of view from where they are now in the business.
I think most newbees are willing to put in the work…they just need the "whole" truth. Don't tell me that you don't have to know html and then not provide the resources that will help you out. Sending someone to "rent-a-coder" is not the answer. Most new people don't even know the question to ask when hiring someone.
I will be watching Nitro carefully… I don't want to
get locked in to any more "What programs." I need a good "how program." Simple language…simple directions. and the whole
simple truth.

I am in the middle of the struggle. I have a hard time trying to figure out just who on the net has integrity and who has not. The other challenge; whether they are worth it or not, is the high cost of a lot of the labor saving software. And then there is the problem of thinking one is getting a terrific product and you come to find out that it is something rebranded and watered down. Now I realize this does not happen in all cases but it happens enough that ones thoughts and goals can become easily scattered to the wind if one does not stay on top of things. I just wish I could stop suffering from info overload in my email. I don't know how the rest of you do it but I find email very time consuming and it seems as though it is hard to discern the crap from the good things.

I have great problems working out who is good and who isn't. At the moment I am trying to get my money back from a well known English marketeer who I originally trusted but found the training lacking as things were missing, didn't work or not explained as well as they could. I tried my best but as I ran out of money with nothing to show for it nor any chance of making anything which is not how it was promoted, I asked for a refund on the 16th of November. Now it is the 25th and I haven't got a reply but I have had access to the site blocked and a message saying that I am a refunded member. Not true.
This is why I want to find someone I can trust, as there does not appear to be many of them, who can show me how to make money online in a way I can understand and at a price I can afford. Like many, I do not need to make millions. If I could make $150 a day then that would sort me nicely. It isn't a fantastic sum and should be achievable but at the moment I seem to be just losing money to the conmen.
Shirley V. Livesey said:
I have come to the conclusion that there is not one, yes I mean not one big name bag of wind on the net that is to be trusted and further, check out who is JV ing with whom, they are all in each others pockets.
I too spent around $20,000.00 on the net I have just declared BANKRUPT.
No I was not declared Bankrupt I declared and filed for Bankruptcy myself.
Incidentally this is one way to clear out the
In Box.
Once the news breaks the emails dry up, those supposedly good friends who just want to help you succeed, providing you invest in the next load of crap,disapear you are no longer an easy mark and your emails go unanswered.
Now I am no stary eyed youngster not even young actually on the wrong side of 74, so perhaps I should know better but I grew up when a firm handshake was a contract.
we have seen how these big names band together when one of their numbers hits a snag.
Sell a bundle of dust collecting blah blah and hit the net hard for you mate, after all the millionaire you bought one of your dust collecting programs from is about to lose his rented home, funny I thought They all lived in mansions paid cash for.
Oh well maybe I got it wrong and they just want to buy a very large camper trailer, how many homeless would love the chance of that kind of accomodation.
Maybe I sound bitter, well maybe I am.
English, American,Asian, Australian it matters not.
Would you given the chance join the hot shots ?.
I think many would, but do you think you would be accepted into the inner circle ?,
I doubt it.
A Guru, according to My old dictionaries and I have several, is a Revered and Influential Teacher, and Spiritual Guide.
Cop them apples not a word about a sharp shooting sales rep, not one word about a wet behind the ears kid who has barely commenced shaving.
Not one word about a pack rat.
Know what the {POWER OF ATTRACTION} does pay as long as you have money to pay for it.

I got so discouraged and fed up with the "so called" internet marketing guru crowd that I just dropped out of the scene in 2000. I kept doing internet marketing but I stopped going to seminars, stopped buying the next great course, and opted out of all the high priced sales pitches being emailed to me every day.
No one gave the WHOLE PICTURE. No one started from where I was at and showed me how to get to where I needed to be. So, I was forced to struggle through teaching myself and learning from trial and error.
I was fortunate to be a beta tester for the Blueprint system and it is the most comprehensive step-by-step system I've even seen. It helped me realize which things I was doing right, what changes I needed to make quickly, and which things I needed to outsource if I wanted to get them done right.
I wish I had the Blueprint when I started online in 1996.

Hey guys,
Pretty cool report. It's funny cause I just read another report about the elephant in the room that came out yesterday!
It must be one of those important topics or something. You should all read the other one to, it's called the Pink Elephant Report I think.

Again, great report guys!

Oh boy you are opening up a can of worms - be interesting to see how many posts you get here. Over the last 8 years I spent over $600,000 (~USD$300,000) trying to get the internet dream to happen for me - now I don't tell you that figure to brag - frankly it sickens me when I look at that figure - and makes my wife angry! There is a small silver lining - after 8 years my first online business that my wife Kristina runs http://ProductsFromNewZealand.com has over 100,000 visitors per month and actually makes a profit. Not enough to tell you the figure and not enough to pay back the debt…
We have been mentored by Corey Rudl's team (when he was alive) and after USD$25,000 spent on that exercise we still where going backwards (and yes we committed to the 15+ hours a week of working ON the business as was required (more likely 40+ hours we committed to this)… So, I look forward to seeing if you are the real deal. Keep in touch - oh and if you want to purchase some junk food (candy) from New Zealand - then go and check out my wife's online store (85% of our orders come from the USA). Keep us afloat. Thanks!
Cheers
Simon.
P.S. In my frustration, I have now created my own business called http://www.WebDoctor.co.nz to help fellow New Zealand business owners with any knowledge I have tested, proven to work and shortcut the process they have to go through for themselves…

Sometimes I wonder if this whole Internet Markting thing is a huge scam initself. I prefer to do "Information Markting". If you give people what they are really looking i.e information (some at no charge) then they might also pay you to get more infromation from you. My two cents on this….

Even though I spent 20,000 I don't regret it.It was a necessary prelude to learning the old ways of building a business are still correct.I have gone back to my college days.Selling door to door with the new tools.I have decided the MLM is for me.Why? simple! it is a person to person business.This is what i am putting together with the tools available.Giving away free websites.Do the follow up by phone.Helping the people to become successful teaching phone skills.Start free then pay.No one can run a business without personal people contact.E mail won't do it neither will the so called automated systems.If 90% of the people fail it must have a root cause.Running any business requires money the Internet is no different.20,000 invested on the Internet is peanuts.When I ran a company off line I invested balls to the wall. my investment was 650,000 hard cash minimum.With other investors making it up to 3 million.It took ten years to build.It took the new management 2 years to screw it up.Leaving me broke without my pension plan.I would gladly invest 10,000 if I still had it in the Internet.I have been watching.I think there is to much me "too" products with everyone getting on the band wagon.What it need to go to now is drop shipped real product.I am a Research Chemist Inventor,Sales Trainer,Entreperneur.I think to get rid of the Elephant is to get real products to sell.

Most people who have some failures on the Internet and not made money like me.Are people with the desire but not the knowledge.It is like a return to school learning the A.B.C.s.I for one have been a gullible participant in the Internet Debacle for people.Because I bought into some else's dream.The Internet is for Pioneers some of the pioneers mean well but never state the truth and nothing but the truth.If I fail to succeed it is because the program and plan has flaws like all pioneering does in its beginning.THE SINGLE BIGGEST MISTAKE MADE IS TO THINK THE OLD KNOWLEDGE OF MARKETING IS DEAD.It is the con on the web by many who want you to think a wily nilly program thrown together .Given a clever term like "PASSPORT TO WEALTH" or some other name promising the work will be done for you.The work is not done.There is no SEARCH ENGINE or other means of creating traffic for you.It is mental suicide to leave the running of a business supposed to make you money in the hands of others.Many people have a light in their eyes which steadily blinks.It is the greed light.No consideration for the client only the wallet to fill.I bought some CD on Ebay of seminars held in 1998.IF I would have had this knowledge when i started on the INTERNET I would not have the temporary failure I suffer from today.It is my own fault I failed for I believed others without laying a proper foundation in learning skills. I needed to learn fundamentals of "how to do".I want to say to every one you can not fail if you have the burning desire to succeed.You have to see it in you mind as completed and it will complete.In 1997 I was asked to create a product never before made or invented.It took me six month from start to finish to create.The company I worked for told me it can't be done.There is one word not in my vocabulary "CANNOT" the word does not exist to me.
I did the product in my garage.Nothing stopped me from making the product.I saw it complete in my mind before I drew my brain map to start.If you let the stinking elephant ruin your Internet career then you are the loser.Nothing will stop me from making money on the Internet.Yes I am temporary broke but that is today in six months I will have my money back and then some.So people who have your losses don't moan over them.It means the Internet pirates win from you if you allow it to stop you.Make a goal figure out what you need to do to get it.Determine exactly what you want to give to get what you want.Kick the stinking Elephant out of your life.Stinking elephants make me mad driving me to suceed.

I'm amazed guys. First, you can make money online… without spending tons, without havings tons of money invested & with a crappy website. I earned more than $100,000 in less than 9 months online… primarily from e-mail marketing. I never used any Pay-Per-Click, had horrid SEO, no salescopy, etc. Although, I'm convinced I would've made over $500,000 (if not more) if I'd also applied some of these other techniques in addition to my e-mail marketing efforts too. My list had a maximum of 612 members at its peak & I didn't charge monthly recurring fees to join my newsletter or forum either. YES… I've spent money & been hustled too (but it's ME who hustled myself, not the "gurus"). Fact of the matter is that most of the information out there is good info. But we either don't ever look at it; overthink it; give up because we feel its "us against the world", always end up "looking for help all the time", and bottom line… cause our own failures. Trust me… since I made that first $100,000… I've fallen into the same traps I just described. Even posting comments to blogs is a disease that plagues us, because it keeps you/us from focusing on what's truly important… JUST DOING IT! I wish everyone here the very best, and whether you cast your lot with Nitro Marketing or anyone else (accept responsibility, quit getting bogged down into the same old excuses, and just DO it). That's the only thing that keeps anyone from making money online OR offline. One of the posts here talked about going back to the old tried & true offline technique of cold-calling & using the telephone… which works… if you do it. But, there's also alot of "offline gurus" who can teach you how to improve on your offline, cold-calling techniques; qualifying techniques, closing techniques & more. So, the same thing holds true OFFLINE! If you get bogged down in all the details, give up on on a new technique because they "must've left out a critical detail", etc…. then you only have yourself to blame.
Joe said:
I agree..it's time to tell th truth. Creating a real internet business that makes profit and that can be sold for a profit takes some hard work.
If you have a passion for your work it helps but it doesn't pay the bills. Copywriting seems to be one area where the gurus excel and we can learn a lot more about how to create our message, but perhaps not be as blatantly colorful as the gurus.
A business with integrity is going to catch eyeballs of prospects and by providing good value you eliminate your competition. The Nitro System gives you the steps, now it's up to you whether you want to follow in their footsteps.
Bam said:
So true in what your report states. Already been scammed with the hype "how to make money on line" and lost a couple thousand. I have been innundated with emails with proposals for the "Great MONEY MAKING Systems" that will make you fast cash while you sleep at night, get rich quick, grow an interenet business etc… Only to be disappointed with the systems that I have purchased. They start you off with the motivation of even a newbie can do it (such as myself), but you soon learn when you have a technical problem, the support programs are whack. They don't respond in a timely manner, or they feed you their solution to the problem and you realize it's not the answer to the problem you are having. We are baited in with the "how to" step-by-step approach on how to make money on line only to become frustrated due to the lack of the one important missing element. "THEY DON'T TELL YOU EVERYTHING THAT'S NEEDED." I have devoted 2006 to researching and watching many of the new How to Make Money On Line Promos and have ignored them because there is always something missing in how to really do it. It clearly would help if we the consumer are provided with up front operating cost to get a system up running to make money. We are often mislead that you purchase a system say for $$$$ and that's it. Later you find out you need an autoresponder, traffic generator, banners, blogs, write aritcles etc. Additional cost to optimize your system for making money. Not to mention, I can clearly see there are a lot marketers partnering with each other to promote each other's products. If a new product is generated only the test of time will tell if they are successful. Your report, Chapter 5, will assist me in assessing what to look for in a true system before I venture into IM in 2008. Thanks for the shake up.
John Stiles said:
I Agree with the report.
So many sharks on the net ready to take you to the cleaners. Some are very big names that many people follow only to be disappointed and left flopping around.
I stopped the insanity for me a while back and then found success after I found focus.
It's a shame that after all this time, I can count on one hand the big guru's that i trust and still have fingers left.
As Ronald Reagan said "Trust but Verify". Seems like fitting advice for following Internet Marketers!

Great report,
As soon as everyone that wants to do this business realizes that it is work and not "an easy road to riches" the better off they will be.
I started a couple years ago and quickly found out that I could get all the new and greatest things a couple months after release for just my name and email address. To date have spent under a thousand bucks and those were spent on softwares that I use on a daily basis.
There is no: quick fix, 4 clicks to millions, closely guarded secrets to riches, sure fire-all in one-complete system to online success!
The secret is in a (free) report I wrote. No email address required, no cost, just read it and if you need step-by-step help, then the Nitro Guys will be a good place to start. (no, I am not affiliated with the Nitro Guys just been around the block long enough to spot genuine help when I see it!)
Go to http://www.topshelfarticles.com/make-money.html and read it. It will give you the focus point of how YOU will go about making a business online.
Then if you need basic help, sign up with the Nitro Guys and….ACTUALLY DO IT.
Stop jumping from new thing to new thing. As a good mentor of mine says, "this is a process … NOT an event"! Sounds like the Nitro Guys will be able to help with the process. It's important to have a solid starting point and to have someone that can explain the "finer details".

Over the past two years I've downloaded a ton of how-to internet marketing products. I've found some good ones and not so good ones. I've never seen a COMPLETE system broken down in a 'do this today then do this' manner that I could afford to buy. I turned to the internet not to get rich, but to supplement my small pension. What I've seen is a lot of good advice, followed by unaffordable tools to implement the processes. That's what sucks the power out of the dream. I'm optimistic (based on the 'dirty laundry' report) to see what NITRO has developed.

The sheer amount of total garbage being promoted online is enough to drive the most content of individuals completely nuts. It seems like people could care less about building trust and a relationship with their clients…they try to run they're "business" like a faceless money-grabbing robot. As far as complete systems go, I have seen a couple that come close but nothing that made it clear and complete enough for the average person who is serious enough to do the work required to build an actual business based on foundations of trust and providing service and real value.
Awesome report and I look forward to finally seeing a complete system!

Sacramento Bob said:
I have read each reply and can readily identify with Lee above.
We each need to accept personal responsibility for our own failure to apply the fundamental laws of life to our ventures.
But in defense of many who have written above, and me as well: Oftimes age and past butt kicks will dull or even nullify in our minds, our life's experiences and we move into a dream-like sequence of hoping that all of the laws of GOD and nature have somehow been put on hold, and we desperately buy the latest this or that, hoping that by doing so, we can recapture the lost fortunes of the past "overnight".
I am as reasonably intelligent as most, and have had many successes in the past, most often ending with problems of my own making from being too damned nice to those who did not deserve it.
Why? Ah, if I only knew.
So , desperate to "make it" again and get my wife a house and flowers and sunshine again, I leaped into the fray, all the while trying to focus on the best MLM opportunity I had/have seen in twenty five years, but having vowed to NEVER put all my eggs in the MLM basket again, I found myself buying an unbelievable amount of internet marketing material.
I do not agree that all of the big boy gurus are "out to get newbies", even though I have been a willing victim of buying every thing that came into this puter. Not ONE of them reached through my Dell and twisted my arm.
Coming to my senses a few weeks ago and looking at MY DOCUMENTS file and seeing seventy things I have purchased was like a slap in the face, a cold shower, and a butt kick all at once. So I set about to get out of monthly payments, in most cases on probably excellent products that had only gathered dust. I found some real gentlemen, several in the UK, who stopped the payments but said I could come back at any time and pick back up. I purchased just about everything Chris McN suggested and could only assume that I felt a trust, for guys of that caliber are light years ahead of me in understanding the net nuances. So I bought the highly touted Assassin program and find to my delight that it is structured in a way that I can jump in and see some income in a short while. He seems in this program to genuinely seek to bring newbies up to a living income as quickly as possible and it does have most of the get goin stuff set up as a do this, do this this way, do that, etc.
Meantime I have tried to focus on the MLM as well, and you cannot ride two horses…(well, you can, but you'd better be a circus performer)…
The win is to focus hard core on the one thing until you have the income level which allows you to confidently build another income.
I have been a top producer in one of the industry's most famous companies, on the way to a million when the forces of evil moved in to destroy, as they do to nutrition oriented companies. It happened years later with Seasilver, a terrific product, but destroyed by the ******* in power politics.
It was those two totally wipe out experiences that led me to the net in the first place.
But now I see the fortune about to explode in the company to which I devoted my networking skills and people skills. So my focus is on getting ready for the monster leap in volume which will begin in January.
And unsubscribing from at least fifty marketer emails. Man , did buying the SpamArrest program save my frustration.
What I did , I did to myself.
Being an Irish (American) I am poetic, and once wrote a neat poem, which began:
"Ogres, and Dragons and Mean Little Elves
Cannot do the damage which we do to ourselves"
and continued.
There is BS everwhere, from churches to MLM to the net. I have shaken myself out of the mesmerized state (self induced) and am rolling hard core on the network program which is clearly headed for a million dollar earning company.
Nope, I did it to myself. but have a ton of good information for when I can return to build another basket. I found "gurus" to be really OK guys, by and large. In fact quite a few stand out as dedicated and sincere. No, I will not castigate a group by 'tarring with the same brush".
A Marxist psywar technique. Yes, I was trained in anti subversion also.
Best to all

Been there, done that

Goodmorning everyone.
Read this report and have this to say…
I am not some pityful newbie who thinks he can strike it rich overnight with some of those lame products by some self-proclaimed guru. I have been in this business for some time and I do make money online although, it is not enough to live the lifestyle of the Hollywood stars, I do make money online.
I know that it takes time and effort (W.O.R.K.), yes WORK, to be successful but I have yet to see the guy(s) who will help me to monitize the stuff and really help me to move to the next stage.
Have a look at my site http://www.dogsofamazon.com and tell me what you think. It has fresh feeds everyday and archives the feeds of the days before. I nake money with this site because the visitors that come to it are targeted and every now and then it results in sales i.e commissions for me.
B.t.w. the content is 100% unique and there are no copies of this pages on the web, you can check that for yourself.
Wish you all success, keep me informed and let me have some feedback please.

Hi Joe,
Thanks for a fantastic report. It is very timely as I have been feeling very jaded at the industry for sometime and I was starting to feel a bit dumb. Seeing all the people out there making a fortune and quitting their jobs, and here I am working my butt off for very little return.
But from the posts above it appears I am not the only one and there appears to be a common theme amongst us all, including myself.
I've been attempting to make money on the internet now for the last 3 or so years. I have literally spent over $30,000 and studied my butt off (and applied what I learnt).
The pieces are coming together and I am finally working out what to do, but it has not been easy and has been a very confusing journey. However, I have not quit for some reason.
To date the return on my investment has been very poor.
The best I've done is to work on my website for over a year everyday to generate about $200 per month in revenue which I am extremely grateful for.
This experience was a real eye opener because it showed me that like all things, this business requires dedication and hard work.
I no longer buy products from Internet Marketing Gurus because I've finally realised the game and their conflict of interest.
You see, I looked around this big pond and realised what was going on, we are not being taught to fish to feed ourselves, but we are the fish feeding the Gurus!
Don't get me wrong, I'm sure that there are a lot of honest people in this industry that do want to help us.
But I am sick and tired of the game being played.
At the moment I am trying my own little social experiment by putting out a challenge to all Gurus!
I am offering any guru out there to GIVE ME their system and I'll give them 50% of my profits over the next 2 years.
I would have thought I'd be swamped with offers from these gurus as surely they could get a bigger return from my profits than the thousands they make from the initial sale.
So how many people have taken me up on the offer? None, Zilch, Nada….
I rest my case.

Seems after reading all this that just about everybody has the same problems with the whole thing, problem is that we still try and go on to lose even more.
You know that the majority of us earn more in our real life jobs, own more, as regards physical toys.
cupboards running out of space because we had to have the latest gadget and you know what just like the rubbish we bought on the net, the gadgets lie gathering dust in the back of the cupboard, perhaps they are too complicated to set up, take up too much bench space and in any case do not give the same satisfactory results as the old way.
The tragedy is that all this affluant living and we have less in savings than the generation that went before,we spend more, save less and unlike our parents are in debt up to our eyballs.
We are it seems running backwards.
There are only so many ways to bake a cake, the icing may be a different colour the filling unusual and different but the basic cake is the same given the basic recipe we can all bake the cake some will have a masterpiece some will have a disaster but the kids will love it.
Problem is that we are not being sold tangible items we are being sold so much gas and do we really need all this information.
Infomation is golden if it leads somewhere and teaches a skill or a method or imparts knowledge that will stand us in good stead.
The information programs {e-books} thet we are being told is a must if we want to succeed, is lets face it mostly a load of gas and I mean the type that has a bad odour.
Unfortunately There is no regulatory body prohibiting and closing down scams, there should be.
One has to have a licence to sell fish and chips and the product has to meet certain standards why then are there so many people out there selling
absolute crap.
I refuse to lie to make a sale unfortunately most of the people who send emails to me do not have the same ethics.
I have several book cases full of books that I bought some very old that are a pleasure to open.
Now the differnce here is that I went physically to the book store, browsed through the contents before I bought and I had in all probability decided on what subject I wanted information.
I seldom buy novels but I do have a collection of the classics.

I agree with what you say in this report. Over the past few months, as a newbie, I have "purchased" so called systems that look good and some actually cover many important knowledge aspects, but none have provided the acurate "blueprint" required so one can follow and replicate the "system". There are always parts missing and they all take too much knowledge and experience for granted. As a trainer myself I find their lack of effective and efficient training astonishing and deplorable!
Looking forward to seeing if your chaps actually can produce what you say you will!

I love this report because it is just what the doctor ordered.
Just last night I wrote a letter to my downline telling them how feed up I am about being bullied by the big named marketing and list building companies online today:
A Call For Help An A Call To Arms!
This Is A Call For Help! A Call To Unite! A Call For Us To Come Together As A Community And Shut These Big Name List Building & Marketing Companies Down!
Hello My Friend,
We the Newbies, The Entrepreneurs and The Opportunity Seekers are the life blood of these companies; they can not exist without us.
I am sick and tired of being bullied by the big name gurus of marketing & list building on the internet today, these owners act like you have to buy there products, services or join there list/s or they will begin to make your life a living hell.
Let me tell you a story of what happen to me with out naming any of these companies by name, but you know who they; they just came out with a new product couple of weeks ago (around the 1st. of November 2007.) The company I’m talking about has the motto “if you are a paid member we advertise for you”.
Lets call this Company John Paul Advertising LTD for this story, I’ve been trying to make a living online now for about 6 years with little to no success, so I started to follow the lead of this big name marketing and list building company word for word.
I must have joined every new list builder they came out with, purchased almost every lead package they recommended, and still didn’t make the kind of money they said I would make, so when they launched there latest project around the 1st. of November 2007; I refused to join; I was sick and tired of receiving hundreds of emails a week just to keep them in business.
Every since I refused to join one of there list builders John Paul Advertising LTD has begun closing all of my accounts with them at 1 a week for no apparent reason.
They did all this because my credit card was reaching it’s limit, that is the reason why I had to let them go; I would receive an email informing me “ your account is now unsubscribed”
I didn’t unsubscribe my account, I didn’t send them an email asking them to unsubscribe me, I didn’t click on the unsubscribe me link; their payment processor company didn’t send me an email, but I have received those emails from the payment processor company in the past that I immediately took care of on the spot.
So how did my account get unsubscribed, because You know the only way you can join there company is by using your credit card and taking the chance of being labeled by PayPal as being part of some kind of matrix, mlm, pyramid scheme etc.
I guess the old saying “The Money Is In The List” is true, because they seem money hungry to me, and damm everyone else, that is why I’ve decided to build my own list and all those big name marketing & list building companies can just kiss my you know what, because I look at it this way now (if I have to receive hundreds of emails a day or week just to be a member there company, it’s not worth me being a member) an I was a paying upgraded member, Too!
As a result of me being so swamped with what seem like a mountain of emails, my downline members were being neglected; I was spending all damm day reading, sorting, deleting, an answering all those freaking emails.
My email boxes stayed full with email I had received 3 months ago,
I spent 1 Whole Week Deleting Old Emails from Months Back, but it didn’t matter because the very next day; my email box starting filling up all over.
Also when they tell you “oh just switch to a gmail account” don’t do it especially if you have to use your gmail account as your list email address, because all those emails will follow you to your gmail account.
I am not saying that you have to join anything I recommend, but please get into some kind of list building course and start building your own list of people that you can email, and let’s show these companies were are mad as hell and are not going to take it any more.
Let us come together as an internet community and shut them down.

From a copywriter's point of view, one who has ghostwritten copy for large multi-million dollar clients down through to small independent entrepreneurs, I was disappointed in your report.
Maybe my expectations were set too high as I've been following your work(s) since the days before you became Nitro …and perhaps I expected more gut-wrenching from-the-heart kind of true stories that would possibly tell me you truly care about me — the reader — and not your next big project.
Your call to action was clear, but your use of anti-hype was buried beneath the hype, yet again. It came out sounding like you were selling hopium to the masses. Sorry, just my humble opinion.
Ray said:
"There is nothing as powerful as an idea whose time has come." I wish I'd said that, I wish I new WHO said that, but anyway it rings true with what your report points out.
Some of us chalk up our losses to "experience" or "the price we pay for success" which is all bull in my book. Give me proof of something that works and I'll buy it and promote it. which brings up another issue…PROMOTION, or how to promote said "system".

WOW !
It is refreshing and uplifting ( for me ) to read these comments and find out that so many people are in the same boat ( there is a leak in the bottom and we are all bailing like crazy )so far as $money$ invested ( read flushed down the ceramic throne ) in various ways to "Make a Million $DOLLARS$ In The Next 24 Hours".
Since everyone here is so honest about it, I'll confess that I spent enough money to make me cry about it for a long time.
The report was great ! ! ! Thank you.

Great report filled with truths, there will be alot of us watching to see if your system works
Would like this type of report so much more if it was not connected to a "system" about to launch
but you have created the proper launch buzz, (newbies take note on how this done)
and pay close attention to the fact that no matter what WORK is required for success!

JAmes JOrdan said:
Sure there is alot of truth to this report and frankly it serves you all right for aimlessly spending your cash and not doing the work! Can I speak as someone who has made it work? Well judge for yourself…I started with nothing and no budget whatsoever and sold over 24,541 copies of my ecourse for 67 bucks a pop. It took me nearly 18 months to make my first sale and then another six - eight months to make any money. But when I hit it I hit it well. Tip 1 Dont listen to what you are being told but carefully study what these gurus are actually doing…eg sales letters, email follow ups building rapport etc. These guys at Nitro are sincere and some of the few that tell it like what they actually do. But you have to do the work. Find a good market and develop a product based on what is proven and selling. Make a better offer than the top selling product and tap into the market get momentum and build on it . A big mistake is sitting on your arse when you experience a little success. You can check out a very successful sales letter here:http://www.gainmuscleandlosefat.com/bodybuildingold.html
Remember anything worth doing is challenging and will push you to your limit . Thats when you know you are on the right track. If it was as easy as listening to some guru and following a few steps ,spending some money on a course or two everyone would be rich now would they not?
thanks Kevin and MAtt

WOW what a great report. It came at the right for me. I am just starting out and have spent the last two months just trying to separate the crap from the firtilizer. One thing I have learned is how not to run an internet marking business — how to read past all the hype and see what is really being offered. It seems to me that most marketers including the big names have been listening to their own hype for so long that they have begun tobelieve in it.
The lesson is Create A Simple System. Most tools can be found for free, most reports end up in JV Giveaways eventually or pass on as PLR onuses for signing up to an eZine. MOst money seems to be made by selling hot air to newbies or the plain desperate. To me this is a loosing strategy.
I have a simple check list on the wall above my computer. Creat a report (or someother product), convert it to a format people can access, put it up on the web and promote it. The secret is in making sure the product is unique and addresses your passions.
There are no easy ways to make money, every system requires work and knowledge and time. If you want to use the Internet as a vehicle to sell your products then learn how to use the Internet.
You would not expect a business owner using bricks and morter to not understand how to least a shop or office or how to use thier cash register or order products or write reports for their clients so why expect to do the same thing on the Internet without those skills?
The KISS principle works: Keep it simple and know how to use the tools you have on hand.
As I said this is a great report that made me think about what Internet Marketing is all about and how to best use it. I don't expect riches over night but I do expect that with a little commonsense I will eventually make a living doing what I do.

I fell into this area of the internet about ayear ago and bought one item the iprofit package (the name says it all) read as much as I could and because I already build and mantain computers for a living found it another step in what I already enjoy by learning to build websites S.E.M. etc; I like many others here have never earned a bean from my efforts. I also have seen past those quick buy now merchants along time ago. The only way to make money is as I`m hoping is to produce something honest and to affiliate it out through the resources available. The only people who are making the money are the ones who start these projects. So again looking for some kind of honesty I`ve put together a site with the necassary components of what you need and they`re either availabe as a free download or a free trial. That way people know what they are letting themselves in for. Don`t buy anything or sign up to anything unless you are allowed to try it first.

I have to admit great great letter. Being "newbie" to the online marketing world I can tell how sincere you guys are about this program and looking out for peoples success. In my other industry there a lots of people preying on peoples ignorance and capitalizing on it by taking their money and returning zero value. I can tell value is your priority by your report and I'm looking forward to working with you.

It's about time someone has had enough courage to tell what happens most of the time when someone wants to get into internet marketing. I know that I have spent a lot of money and time and have very little to show for it.
I also know that it is great that the NitroMarketing folks have a developed a program that will work (keywords: Will Work) for you in a step-by-step method that delivers results…as long as you are willing to take action.
Ellis Toussier said:
I have earned a lot of money, and I have spent a lot of money buying courses… My computer is full of e-books that I DON'T HAVE THE TIME to read… but I still buy e-books, and I still buy courses, and I still sign up for marketing courses from some of my favorite TEACHERS (which includes Joe Vitale, Nitro Marketing, Fred Gleeck, Paul Hartunian, Jay Abraham, Mark Hendricks, Jo Han Mok, Shawn Casey, Josh Anderson… etc.)
The problem in this world is really "Who Can I Believe?" There are a lot of Bamboozlers but perhaps my biggest bamboozler is ME, because I don't DO IT…
You have to ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY, it is the Bamboozler's fault if they sell you a book or a course that is not good… but it is YOUR FAULT if you buy good material and you don't read it, or you read it but YOU DON'T DO what they teach you to do.
I know, I've been there, I have been bambooozled, but I have also bamboozled myself… And in spite of it all, I have made a lot of money on the internet, but I could have made 100 times more, and that is what I still want to do.
It is not for the money… it is for what earning the money means: it means that I helped somebody, somewhere, to do something good for that person.
Aislinn O'Connor said:
I'm delighted to see that someone's making a stand against the high-priced nonsense that a lot of so-called gurus are peddling online.
Many of the techniques they sell are simply going to get the buyer into trouble, with their sites banned by the search engines, or their earnings frozen by their credit card facility provider… and I've even had e-mails boasting about the stuff they're offering me being illegal (it's amazing how quickly you can find the "unsubscribe" link when you're mad enough!).
I specially like Ellis's comment, above. I, too, want to make good money by helping other people to make the most of their opportunities and their lives, and I'm fed up having people deride me for it.
When I pay the money that I've earned online into my account, I want to be able to feel good about what I've got it in return for, not ashamed of having lied and cheated for it.
It's good to be among people who believe that honesty and fairness aren't just some ideal that no-one bothers to live up to - they actually work.

This report was truly awesome. I have only been online for 2 months, and have only made about $100, but have spent well over $1000 already in \"systems\" that I thought would be bringing in several thousand a month.

Interesting comments from many disgruntled seekers of fortune. I empathize with them, but can't help but wonder just how much "greed" plays a part. I know in my case I have to guard carefully my enthusiasm because many times it is fired by greed, not common sense. I, too, have been stung, but the blame lies only with me for the above reason. Now I have watched the Internet Business over the past four years, never subscribed to any software (oops! did once for a book writing system that I could never figure out) and marvel at the inbreeding that seems to take place with JVs or affilliates. They have some value but need to be carefully scrutinized for that value that applies to your specific case.
Well, my constant observation reminds me that nearly every comment reveals not much about the problem, but vast amounts about the commentator (myself included). So now I wait to see what the Blueprint system will reveal. Hopefully it will be one answer to the search for success online.
Charles Beaumont said:
I can agree with a lot of the comments above but most of what we do is 20% know how and the 80% sweat blood and tears. I have been watching Nitro for about sixteen months as that is the time I have been on the internet and have spent a lot of money without any results so to speak of so this time I will be successfull. 97% fail or give up to early as it does take time to be successfull, not like we are led to believe by the people making money online.

I agree with this report, that is the way it is,have been working on-line for 2 yrs have put many thousands of dollors, and i really no longer even listen to the gurus,bunch hype to get you to buy their product, then after that you are on your own,dont know the anwser, but someone that would be honest in internet marketing, and That would first help those that are wanting work the net, i Would say he will be a very wealthy individual, All Liars Will Go To Hell, Unless they Repent. Yes there is those that use relegion,God, in their dishonesty, woe to them, there will be a pay day, thanks letting deliver message.
Keith deBolt said:
Wow.
So interesting to see the sheer quantity of people who have been left with a bad taste in their mouths from their online experience….
Yes, there are a TON of scammers out there, and in the internet marketing field there are TWO TONS. There is such an incestuous feel to the 'my friend "x" and I have put together a killer offer for my list only' kind of marketing that most of these greedy marketers pull… doesn't it seem that the majority of the big dogs are making their money by selling rehashed crap to the hopeful masses?
So many posters here have it right when they discuss how they themselves are partly to blame for buying in to the 'make-money-on-autopilot' bulldung that the heavies lay out there. I just have to laugh when I read a hype-filled exaggeration-laden sales page trying to get you to buy a product that will teach you how to write hype-filled, exaggeration-laden sales pages. YEESH!
When you take a step back, this whole 'marketing to marketer wannabees' racket has become kind of disgusting. And confusing for a beginner marketer. I got an email from one of the big dogs telling me to "sign up for any of the following credit cards", with links to a handful, so I could "leverage other people's money" to enroll in some system he was pushing. Of course, he was an affiliate for the credit cards and makes money on any fool desperate enough to actually follow his lame advice. Needless to say, I opted out of that #&%* list at once.
Where are the ethics? Does every beginner marketer become just another mark in their eyes?
More than ever, it is crucial that a new person just looking into the possibilities of starting an internet business be on their toes and avoid getting sucked in by the traps set for them by the experienced and savvy veterans… most of whom do not have any problem with taking your money and dashing your hopes.
Here's hoping this subtle prelaunch tactic is actually going to lead to some true, honest help for those who are willing to do the work!

I am so new to internet marketing that when I first started reading newsletters etc I didn't even know what a browser was.
I have gleaned much information from FREE sources and am ready to embark on a follow the leader program.
Took 3 months of CD's of Joe Vitale's, Hypnotic Gold. I knew the information was good but I did not know how to apply it. I wonder if some of the folks out there that feel they have been ripped off actually did what the programs said.
Human nature tells me that most people want a program to do it for them.
I once had a spiritual teacher that after a week of seminar lectures by some of the greatest got up and said " you really only need one program if you JUST DO IT.

This sounds like it may end up being a legitimate program and or business opportunity. I have been searching for over 3 years to get into a reputable, worthy , honest business on line. I got sucked into spending THOUSANDS on a progrma with "The Geatest vitamin in the Worls" which was a company that was run by Don Lapre, a real bullshitter from Arizona, which is I guess the capital of hte US for a bunch of scheisters screwing people over with HYPE, HYPE, and more HYPE, and absolutely no substance behind what they offer or promise. They out right lied, and use a hrd sell ,"you need this too" after they got you for something already, never letting you know what all is required to be in their business, so in other words hooking you in with it, then add on more and more.
I want to know what it is I am getting into, I want to know as best as possible what my costs are, and what I could expect to have as expenses on an on-going basis, not have a bunch of surprises and then after investing thousands, find out the company is a fraud.
I am a business man, however I was vulnerable at the time of that incident as I was diagnosed with a very serious and debilitating illness, that took me almost 2 full years to somewhat re-cooperate from with medical treatments and hospitalization. I now am in a position whereby I want an internet based business that I can run from home, something that adds value to people's lives, and at the same time provides me with a comfortable life, so that I can pay off my mortgage, and provide for my partner.
I believe ,so far that this Nitro blueprint, once more information comes available over these next few days, is turning out to be something that I want to be associated with. I am so loooking forward to finding out the rest, that I am sitting here on pins and needles. Hopefully you will fullfill your expectations that I have of this being a legitimate, honest opportunity with all the tools necessary to making a profitable business happen for me online. I am a productive and also focused individual who is very organized, and determined to making an on-line opportunity work for me for 2008.
I also know that the information business is one of the fastest growing businesses out there, and that is why I have aligned myself with a couple of products that are affiliate programs, but so far have not been able to make any money with it, as there always seems to be a key ingredient missing to make it happen.

Hi, I just read the "Dirty Laundry" report. I must say it is consistent with my experiences of trying to get started in internet marketing.
I've been fortunate because I've not spent too much money on hype yet…maybe because I'm old enough to want to hang on to my resources. But, I know the value of having a repeatable process, or system, in order to succeed.
I know that internet marketing can give me the income I need to retire, and I don't need to be a millionaire to do that. I'll be following your videos, etc. over the coming days and am looking forward to getting more information on your system.
Please, don't let all of us down by just being another "hype marketer." Although, if I thought you were that I wouldn't be writing this.
Thanks for the report!

"Sell the SIZZLE,not the steak".Sadly,that's what many of the "Biz Op" programs being sold today are doing.Many don't have real substance,just preying on what most everbody wants-making BIG money from home,do this easy thing-quit your job,make six figures working only 5-10 hours a week…and on and on.Everbody wants Big $$$ with no effort. That's why they play the lottery or go to Vegas!The biggest scam I see lately is a "Gifting Program".Basically saying you can get others to give you 'money for nothing'.$1000 to $6000 a day!2 business mags I get monthly are loaded with the ads promoting this crap!But people fall for it.Why? They are lazy! They want
easy money without work or effort. And when it doesn't work-they say the whole industry's a ripoff.If they had put that capital into something legit,they may have had a good chance of succeeding.It hurts the rest of us trying to do the right thing as we lose people to these scam artists.
We have to realize you have to sell a product/service that people want that benefits THEM! And you have to be willing to put the time and effort in to promote what you have -using tools like NITRO offers.Also you more than likely
in the beginning will have to put in a LOT of time
and some$$ before you see any positive results.Most people fail because of lack of focus,commitment,time and their FEAR of losing and giving up too soon. Hey,thats my 2 cents!Thanks for reading.

I am trying to work out if the system is an affiliate recommendation type online mlm thing for the nitromarketing system or something where you get support to publicise and sell a report on a subject that is red hot and in which I am very well versed. I am an anonymous expert willing to go public with an assumed name because the subject matter is too controversial and totally real.
I am looking for support in my report to use it because everybody needs to know what it contains. (everybody? yes! – it's a 'one per home issue').
I am talking to the guys behind this - to Mike Long maybe but I am also talking to other readers so you could get me through the Web site by trying a little bit – if interested in collaboration. I have been the old man as in "Old man and the Sea" (the Ernest Hemmingway book) for two long in my life to catch another too-big fish.

I have been thru 6 programs with guru's, coaching and the promise that this will "make you millions". This includes StomperNet at $800 a month and gurus at anywhere from $1,000 a month for a weekly 1 hr call to $6,000 PPC program. None them produced any money for me. So I am "gun shy". Everybody wants the money "up front". Where are the guys that get paid for PERFORMANCE! Then there are the guys like Armand Morin and Joel Comm that got on the Net in the late 90's and are not millionaires, I know as I have been in Armand's house.
So I am going to have to be sold that the next program I get into is going to be guaranteeed financial success for me. I have one moderate successful Net business now and two that are struggling. I am willing to do whatever it takes to make that 20K a week. But instead of my paying thousands up front, take a percentage of the business that is created from the education, training and follow through with a coach.
I will continue to watch what happens on this blog.

OMG! Your training is so eye-opening. I learned 2 things that will be huge for my business going forward. First; The fill in the boxes business map contained items I had floating around my head, but to see them organized like this means I can focus on one item at a time and really accomplish something.(not fire stray bullets all around) Second; Not perfect, just good enough resonates loudly. It tells me it's ok to move onto another aspect of my business before the impossible perfection is reached. Taking action is more important than tweaking to death.

Kevin Wilke and Mike are truly the best Internet Marketing Mentors out there.
The 10-in-90 program lays it out better than anyone. I'll give you an example, I just paid $800 to go to Ken McCarthy's "The System" Internet Intensive, and it couldn't hold a candle to the 10-the-90 5 days programs.
They really give hands-on info, absolutely the best.

Biggest waste of time ever and my first real shock in how Marketers can just walk away and leave you to rot - 10in90 run by err - Kevin. Site is still up but I think most of the real angst has been removed.
Best course ever and it is free and will go on and on till you get it - it had the highest number of members of any course - Thirty Day Challenge - Ed Dale and Dan Raine. Two guys who say it like it is and live up to their promises. It will also cost you nothing to make your first money - a free course that has taught me how it is done - Kudos to the guys.
Nitro have proved to me that they are just the same as everyone else - yes there is an elephant - and a good bit of it is Nitro.

Norman German said:
Norms Biggest Takeaways (not in any particular order)
Love What You Do.
For some of us the info in the videos will be enough for us to use to rise up, and some will need more help.
Experience Factor. Anybody can gain experience. Experience is the only thing that separates you from the results that others achieve, and that you want to achieve.
Choose to go down the scary, unknown new path, if you stay on your current path you will keep getting the same results you have always achieved. It is only scary because you have never gone that way or done that before and have not experienced what it has to offer.
Build A Business Not An Income
Best Internet Business in Kevin's opinion= Information Business. Information, solutions to their problems is the #1 reason they are online anyways. Provide them with what they want= solutions to their problems.
Munchies. Breakdown massive into minor and then FOCUS. Fantastic advice in Norm's opinion. One of my biggest problems getting started with anything was trying to do to much and not Focusing on the one biggest thing that needs to be done now. Which leads to the next takeaway.
Core Activity Principle. At any given time there is 1 activity or step that needs to be accomplished now.
Productive Focused Attention. Concentrate on that one Core Activity with all your Focus until completed.
Trade Your Time For Dollars= Do some work
Don't Be Perfect Just Good Enough
Become good at 1 of the 10 steps and make money by helping others implement that step into their systems. Power= Using a system that is proven to work and generate sales which lead to a successful business you love
Traffic generates your E-Mail list which generates your first sale which generates more sales.
The Empty Box Principle= Just fill in the boxes. Its that easy. Just start with one box and Focus on finding that one thing that needs to be done now to start you on the way to getting that one box filled, then move to another,
Get started today I certainly am. Take some action and do some work, stay Focused, have some fun with it, and hopefully we will all meet each other at the top.
Thank you guys and may you have a wonderful and blessed Holiday Season.

Hi Again Kevin and Matt,
Okay, I must admit. Went to this site quite some times yesterday, refreshing the page to look for the video 4. But apart from that activity I had an ever better day than the day before… I continued to work my munchy business, focused on one box and so happy I did.
Anyway video 4: Great great great!!
I really love the business map. Especially because it confirms my approach that I'm implementing for my new site. Offering the best of my ability has always been the most important in my work, and I keep a very personal connection with the people I work with. Especially since until now my work has been only giving workshops and seminars.
I love the bonus concept to make the best chapters stand out, especially since I hope to release an ebook within a few months and have quite some pages filled already.
I immediately started to review my opt in offer and I'm re-writing it, making it much more specific and being much more clear about the benifits.
This alone made my day, but….
The sales letter. I wrote one before I started writing my book, following advice from Joe Vitale. Listening to what you said makes it so much easier to revise it and make it easier to communicate what I'm offering. I LOVE IT!
Since my website has a lot of pages with a lot of valuable content I'm not sure how I will approach the salespage. But anyway, in my notes it states:
" So I trust that I will know when I get to that box.
"keep it simple
I really love this video (walking back and forth to get extra paper for my notes… twice)
In no doubt the blueprint will make things much easier…
I look forward to another video, being wide open that today was more difficult then tomorrow will be.
Keep the fire burning!
Bless you
Roel

But it is almost Christmas and good will is supposed to abound, just be sure that you do not pay too much for it.
Skeptical YES….bitter NO just lived a long time and can assure you that no matter what else changes human nature never does.
I just love the ads that say [I have a gift for you, I am giving you], but they want you to pay for the item.
Since when was a bought item a GIFT.
Like lambs to the slaughter the naive flock for the FREE? gifts.
Some are free but you can bet your bottom dollar that the free means saturated, over sold, done to death.
Yes GOOD information is golden but ypou will never know the difference until you have paid the price and following the free stuff for which you have given your name and email addy and are now on the list there is ususally a but wait.
Dont you just hate these dam sticky thingo's have to admit that a page with those things rattles me and I leave without even reading the rest and delete when I have pulled the page down.

Maybe.

Mind you he also used to say That life is a battle and also, it is as cold outside as it is on the road.

He hated modern gadgets and would have taken an axe to our computer if he had dared.
Oh by the way The iprofits program is not a bad program at all and the downloads exeptional

By being alive, we all have some Dirty Laundry stashed away, but when it comes to doing and teaching Internet Marketing, I doubt Kevin and Matt have much that is hidden. Based on my experience as a lucky participant in the Beta Nitro Blueprint trial earlier this fall, they give 100% value.
Wait until you see the mansion they can help you build with their Blueprint. I am new at internet marketing (6 months part time) and empathize with many comments above - there is a lot to learn, many new components and suppliers, it is confusing, very easy to be distracted by astute and great sales messages, tugged by one's greed to do it fast, and so on. I am a business planner and analyst and I sure did not do what I know and teach. I had a chance with Rich Shefren early on, but the Songs of the Sirens were too loud.
Bamboozeled sounds like the state I was in by the time I arrived on the shores of Nitro Marketing. The Attention Deficit/Distraction syndrome is still the biggest problem I face every day; it takes constant discipline; Kevin and Dan understand this well and their whole system is an antidote – but you do have to follow it step by step. Plan ahead for this, keep it simple and keep in step.
Among other things, I really appreciated the ability of Kevin and his great associate, Dan, to provide a macro overview, practical how-to details based on their deep personal knowledge, and really, a very personal and sincere desire to help everyone. I'll want to say more on the videos.
Jo said:
I feel a huge sense of relief after reading the report, and from viewing the videos. I started as a complete internet newbie 6 months ago. I'm really proud of what I've learned so far, but it's taken a lot of time, a lot of wrong turns (not to mention more over priced ebooks that didn't really help me much) than I care to mention. Much of the marketing advice I've read has left me feeling distinctly uneasy at how unethical a lot of the techniques appear. I have no interest in recommending products I've never read and can't vouch for their quality, and yet so many 'systems' seem to rely on just that.
I'm relieved that the guys at Nitro have come up with such a transparent and clear system and I can't wait for the full program!

Well, where to begin. I have been stumbling around for 6 months with a grand total income of $63.00. I have invested close to $3k, I am an affiliate for a work at home company (my second one). They have provided me with tons of information "pieces of the puzzle" but I have been frustrated on putting them together. This has been the first offer where someone really went the extra mile to show what they can do. I took away many things, as a matter of fact I wrote just about everything down you went through. I have learned more in the last few hours then I have over the last six months. I am very excited about your training and will be on the site at 7:00 AM my time on Friday. When I read the Dirty Laundry, I felt it was my story. Thank you for all the information, you'll hear from me on Friday.

I have nothing more to add. All my sentiments were already spewed out by everybody. These so-called internet gurus are all hype. All they want is your money and never have the intention to help you be successful. Most of them are intimidating anyway. My only consoloation is not losing as much as $20,000 because I was always leary of the fact that these are all scams. Dirty Laundry should be viewed and read by any internet marketing newbie before they hand out any funds.

Hi guy Here from Montreal,
I just listened to the video.
for once i am impressed with what i heard.
I can't say i spent thousands on info products,
but what i did buy was not impressive.
I remember buying a product for 97$
(usually advertised at 197$).I have no doubt this guru is making tons of money,but i was not impressed
What i saw in the bluprint so far gives me hope,
i feel this is the real McCoy.
When i talk with friends about the problem of making money online,i always say there should
be a step by step course, do this do that…
let me give an example:i just joined a program yesterday.
they rightfully suggest that you need to track your ads,they provide a free tracker.
I can't understand how it works.Things should be explained so anybody can understand.
So this is my hope with nitro marketing.
warm regards

Marcelle said:
Hi
I have just finished reading "Dirty Laundry"
and as I read, I just simply smiled.
I had to come to that realization more and more as I bought one "promise" after another. As a matter of fact, the thing that brought me onboard internet marketing was this promise that one could accomplish the world by working 2 to 3 hours a day.
As I went from one course or mentor to another (and getting myself in debt over my head especially when I was willing to pay $5000.00 for private mentoring - a setup which turned out to be 10 weeks of coaching then being left to finish the website by yourself), I realized more and more that the material we were given was only part of the whole picture, that some "nugget" was always left out. I was working every spare minute I could when I was not going to my part time job of being a supply worker, and I would spend my whole weekends working on the computer trying to get somewhere. A job that should have taken me only 1/2 hour many times would take me up to 5 or 6 hours. It was frustrating. After 2 years of this, I had to decide whether I would continue this nonsense or make up my mind that if I wanted some results, I would just have to learn each little part of a whole and keep adding to my expertise. I also had to better balance my life and not just work, work, work.
The unfortunate part is that I do not trust "home courses" and believe that they are the be all and end all anymore.
I now look for people who are willing to present their material on DVD so that I can go over it again and again. (I am a visual learner. I forget and must often go back). Secondly, I look for that author of the information to be available via email and THAT THEY ANSWER THEIR EMAIL WHEN i ASK FOR HELP. It takes a patient person who will do that, but I have found at least one lately. Thirdly, I am not prepared to shell out thousands of dollars anymore because as you say, too many part of the big picture are left out. If I spend less and I lose, then I don't feel so bad when the course does not cost more than a couple hundred dollars.
Are you guessing that I am frustrated by the material I've bought so far? Perhaps I am more frustrated at myself for being so gullible and believing these myths. On the other hand, I have learned so much since 2004 even though I have not made a penny on the internet. I love learning and I am too darn stubborn to quit.
To summarize: I agree with everything that book says, and knowing the success you've had with your own businesses, I am sure you will do your best by your students. That course seems to have the missing pieces — according to the testimonials. But that too can be rigged.
Sorry, I'm just venting! Good luck with your course. You won't have any problem getting students, especially after people have read that report and looked at those videos.

Hey there,
I really find your video training interesting and learned a lot.. as with so many other people in your forum and everywhere else I happen to go.. I lost a lot of money on programs that promised to make it big.. but actually made a deep, deep empty hole in my finances and now I have to watch my self on every penny I spend…
Your Nitro system seam to be legit and with some dedication I am sure it work (to what degree, I am not sure)I will not be able to get in this, but I am happy to receive your free video trainings and slowly build up my business as best as I know how now and improve as I go along with some of your video guidance…
Thanks so much:-)

But it looks as though this time you have hit a home run and I would like to be part of this team and learn the right way to make it on the net. I would even settle for $1.00 and I would be happy. I have been studying this all way to long to not have any thing up and running at least making a little money. Or even failing my way to success one way or another.

Hey guys!
I just wanted to say I jumped on the Nitro Blueprint immediately the day of the launch and I can't wait to get it!
I have to tell you that divine intervention stepped in at the same time you guys did this launch.
One of my good friends and now biz partner litteraly bought an existing website http://www.howtoflipwebsites.com/ the same minute your launch went off! (We were talking about it through IM)
We've taken immediate action and are working together on this project! -Like you guys-
I've already started using information you shared in the 5 free videos to prepare this site for change and get it ready for a launch. I can NOT wait to get the BluePrint System in the mail to REALLY dig in!!
I've never marketed anything online before and this is the first time I've felt "comfortable" moving foward with a system (because of all the free content you provided, it relieved a lot of anxiety) and the affordable price of your program pushed me over the edge to get started.
I'm probably one of many people that your system reached in such a way you were looking for:
Your free content releived anxiety I had and made way for the burning desire I have to succeed online. The affordable price made it a no brainer for me to be able to capitalize on a system.
Following systems allow ordinary people to have extrordianary results and you two made the system affordable enough for me to take the shot.
Thank you guys and I can't wait to share with you our success story!
P.S. The site will be getting a huge overhaul based on just some of the information you shared from the 5 free videos and I already have several ideas for other projects!

Kevin,
I don't have a good feeling about your effort. I did read the comment above and I have basically the same feelings.
There are too many people that will take your ideas and just use them to promote more info junk. The internet has already been filled to the bursting point with way too many people possing to be experts on everything from chicken manure to nuclear fission when in fact they are not experts on anything.
I am not pointing the finger at you or nitro only at the concepts that are being promoted. You are showing unetrhical people how to prey on the uniformed in the world and destroying any posssibility for anyone with ethics to promote something based on real education real knowledge and experience.
You are fostering the notion that you can make a million a month polishing turds and passing them off as rare gems.
There are people who will do exactly that who have the ethics and integrity of the typical politician in the US. None
Being unethical is not clever and it is not somehow smart. It is distructive to the whole culture and society of the United States.
You have a business to run and you are doing what makes you money, but the question is would you give a Colt Trooper 357 maginum to a ten year old. Think about it, in effect that is what you are doing.
But at the moment what you are doing is not against the law it is headed in that direction because of all of the fraud. I know, it isn't your problem.
Ralph Dreifus said:
I will post something here that every expert in Internet marketing fails to ever discuss. The four cornerstones of marketing any business.
Utility
product
price
service
They equal value and people do not mind spending money on something on value. If something sounds to good to be true it probably is. None of these experts are experts on anything except hustlers.
They just do not get on street corners like crack dealers. Keep that in mind and keep your hand on your wallet.
The fact of the matter is none of it is rocket science including building a website. You have to have something of real value to sell before you bother with a web site. $7.00 for an e-book. Please. How about a ready to run web site used to promote a real business, real information on building a real business and a how to e-book for creating products anyone in North America would want. The businesses can not be run thiry minutes a day from your lap top or desk top. All for $3.95

Well, what can I say that hasn't already been said. I have been ripped off by the gurus just like everyone else. Unless, you keep in mind that now matter what, you always take away something. And as a former educator, if you learn something new, then you have moved forward in life. What I got out of lesson 3 was that I need to get focused again. I need to simplify, don't worry about everything being perfect, and just DO IT!
Hopefully the Nitro System is just not another road to nowhere or some relatives' basement.
I know the empty box diagram is true because I have been sold by that system time and again. We are all looking for something to give us that freedom financially and freedom of time. Good Luck to all!

I do not have anything useful to say. It has always been some myterous idividual that has made $ 10,000 and I have tried everything I have read about over the past three years and none of it has produced 10 cents.
I am not going to begin again wasting my time on the latest and greatest map or anything else that is promoted by anyone. I have no desire to write useless infor products and givew them away in hopes of selling a few $7.00 e-books. That is stupid anyway you want to cut it.
I worked on the fuel system on the space shuttle and all of the marketing plans peddled across the Internet are more complicated than the fuel system, diagram of one of the most complicated pieces of machinery on the planet.
If I wanted to beat my head against the wall I can do that without spending ten cents on more junk sold by enyone.
Sorry Kevin but those are the facts, both short and long. I wasted my time with 10 in 90 for awhile and it was a waste of time and I have no doubt that this is just more of the same.
I am sure this is not the comment you were looking for. I have four ebooks ready to go and a web site. I don't need anyone to build a optimized web site that will get listed on search engines. I can and do that myself. I can write a blog that has better content than 90% of the blogs on the Internet. It is useless except for occupying my time.
End of story and my last blog. You are in no way going to get me to ra ra ra Kevin and Nitro Marketing are the best thing since sliced bread or since the Romans got shoe leather 2,000 years ago.

I already purchased the course because I've been looking for a step by step, do this and then do that course to create great wealth online. However, the MP3 I couldn't even finish (closed out 1/2 way through) … just a bunch of fluff, a sales call to sell the course.
Having been to numerous training courses and purchased many, I listen for the meat and potatoes and blow off the fluff. Too many courses are fluff with no substance. I sure hope the blueprint course is going to be the "real thing".
In my day job I'm one of the, if not the, top sales person in my industry. I got good by pulling the meat and potatoes out and making it work for me. I dislike fluff … it's a waste of time! The problem is, too often people put in all of this fluff to lengthen the course and for a lot of other bad reasons.
I even purchased one of Joe Vitale's programs … lot's of fluff and non-essential crap in it too. However, after wading through all of the fluff, I did find the meat and potatoes and ultimately was very pleased with the course. I just wish I hadn't had to waste so much of my valuable time getting through the fluff to get to the substance.
This just seems to be an ongoing problem with all of these info products. Great writers that, in the end, say nothing at all … they just entertain us while wasting our time on meaningless crap that does nothing to move us forward or only gives us pieces to a puzzle that leaves us hanging with no place to go. No wonder so many people fail miserably with online businesses … they are getting educated by the wrong people or people who don't know how to "properly" educate others.
I'm looking forward to getting the course. I hope it's all you said it is. If it is, I'll be your biggest cheerleader. If not, I'll be your worst critic.

I just received the Nitro Blueprint system and this is the best one I have ever seen. This is one that will work for anyone who truly desires to build a business, or if they have a business take to the next level. It is so simple. Put that Blueprint poster on the wall (like I did) and follow the Quick Start guide. How simple. Just follow the steps. And what about the ROI for the Blueprint System? I was wondering whether an exponential can be taken to the infinite power?
Well, whether it can or cannot, the bottom line is that you undervalued the price of the Nitro Blueprint system by a factor of at least 10.
To me, the Nitro Blueprint system is quantum leaps above any other system I've seen and paid for.

Aloha from John Leary III!
Happy Holidays to everyone that is helping make this report what it is…an ongoing critique of not only Nitromarketing but of our chosen pursuit by choice - internet marketing.
Yes, I think it is about time that a group of people start policing themselves…
Yes, I have been scammed, lied to and ripped off…
Yes, we the online majority (albeit pretty silent until of late) do have the power to help make or break anyone online financially.
What I want to know is what will happen when everyone needs to become accountable for their business, their products, their guarantees?
And what will happen the next time you are faced with "the latest cutting-edge, insightful, delightful, extreme, incredible product/program/software for OTO $297/397/997?!"
Folks, I don't know really about anyone but myself and what I know there is that I owe it to myself to become as knowledgeable about my chosen pursuit - internet marketing - as I possibly can be! I need to stop participating in the insanity of thinking that I'm only one product/program/software away from SUCCESS! The truth is…I'm already SUCCESSFUL.
Stop buying so impulsively, learn all you can as as fast as you can and work on yourself, realizing that we lead by example and that the work really needed is all an inside job! Now, how much did you say that new infoproduct is? LOL!

I have been trying to lead people to their online success for years weeding through the hype and lies.
Like you said, its hard to do if you aren't successful yourself.
The reason I am here is the fact I liked your ideas as soon as i saw them. The exact path I have been aiming for the past couple of years. I hope together we can change the way internet marketing is done and save all we can from buying into the hype and lies till they are broke.
I am proud to say that my wife has spent more shopping than I did on marketing products, but I still have got my share of cybercrap. Man Have I beat my head against the wall trying to figure out what was missing from some of those systems!
My blueprint is almost complete but the most important thing I have learned over the years is to keep an open mind (but not buy everything that sounds good). I am looking forward to more of your commentary.
Happy Holidays Everyone!

You have done a great service to the Internet marketing community with your say-it-as-you-see-it report. I have been trying to build an online business for years and I think you've covered very well every reason why I have not been successful. My deepest appreciation and best wishes. I may join you one of these days.

The thing I believe will eventually bring me success is to try, try again! So I am willing to learn something new, the proof of your system, like you say, will be to evaluate it by implementing it and then judge if it is truly a recipe for success that the ordinary "Joe" can complete and compete!

Hooray!!
Fortunately I haven't spent a huge wedge of cash buying too many get rich quick packages, but I have wondered whether I was trying to learn a foreign language.
I've read lots of articles and some have been more useful than others, this report has shown me that I'm not on my own and that the vast majority of people are like me, trying to find a way through the maze of confusing information.
Thanks for the opportunity to learn from your experience and I look forward to receiving more tips and hints over the coming weeks.
Cheers

Good report although there is nothing particularly new about being a broker (tollgate - whatever bit of intellectual recognition you desire) either. However, I think people sometimes concentrate on trying to find something new, when in fact, there is nothing wrong with the old. The word internet has caused too many people's brains to get numb and forget that business had been chugging along just fine for many years before the internet ever came along.
Very few of the so-called internet marketing gurus mention more traditional means of transacting business - phone, mail, etc. It's a huge mistake to think that the internet should be your sole marketing method. In fact, a sales letter is much weaker than a real human.
I also find it humorous that most of the folks selling and teaching Internet marketing and its various techniques use primarily the affiliate method for selling. As we have all witnessed, the affiliate method has some inherent weaknesses that can easily degrade trust. There are even those who brag about being part of these affiliate rings. Moreover, I believe the affiliate model is exceptionally weak for continuities. To me, it damn funny that most of these gurus don't even use what they teach in the courses.
I think its fair to mention too that maintaining the tollgate position after months of successful business can be increasingly difficult as people tend to think "what do I need this guy for", so structure your legal agreements accordingly.

Long story short. I like Mike Long, he seems like a decent enough guy but he helped launch Pipeline Profits with aka Buck Rizzi and Brock whatever and these two are two of the biggest rip off artists on the net. Careful who you get into bed with as you may be destroying your own reputation to make a few million. I think any guru (so called) who promotes another guru who rips people off needs to be accountable.

I like the report, and most of it I knew already but there were some suprising "secrets" that I didnt realize however I sort of figured on my own after finding out that the courses that I have purchased before wasnt "complete".
As far as what this course should provide it sounds like something worth getting and devouring the information.
I also like the fact that you guys have done this and is still doing this as of today.

No one could have said it better Kevin! I think we have all lost lots of money on useless confusion. It is nice to know that someone out there has a system that puts it all into perspective and with results!

Way to go Kevin. Keep up the good work.

You have hit the nail right on the head. One of those so-called "GURUS" advertised a 14 day trial if you joined. For the next ten days, I could not even get an ans. to an email.Had to go thru CLICKBank on the 13 day and they retrieved my join -up fee.0
Have been an affiliate for Kevin and just until lately have not done much. An elderly lady on S.S. payments once a month realizes that each day costs more due to the economy. Time to try harder and smarter. Good luck to all–Edith L.

HELLO!
After having been convinced a few years ago that selling Info Products online was what I wanted to do, and going throught the confusions, dissappointments, credit card overspending on an infinite stream of so-called "systems", and the subsecuent apathy about the subject that finally overcame me, PLUS the rejection of the subject itself, (since no matter how I tried I just could not seem to understand and get the grip of it, I often wondered if these guys were just plain liers, OR if I WAS JUST PLAIN STUPID) and the thousands and thousands of emails overflowing my inbox offering yet another "YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN NOT DO WITHOUT THIS AND DOES EVERYTHING FOR YOU" PRODUCT, plus all the newsletters that sound all great but just want more money from you today, AGAIN…
Well, KEVIN, I must say that I wish I had had the money to buy YOUR SYSTEM 2 or 3 years ago, but I was broke from buying many other products that I just could not USE!
I have just bought the Nitro Blueprint System, and I AM VERY HAPPY I DID. It is TRULY A SYSTEM, a system that can be followed and DONE. IT IS CALLED A SYSTEM, BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT IT IS!
I realize it wasn't ME that could not do it! It was the products that promise things they are not planning to deliver, or that are not correctly labeled "newbies" "already on businesss" "advanced" or whatever.
THE NITRO SYSTEM CAN HELP ANYONE SUCCEED!
BELIEVE ME: I AM 50, not too good with the computer, and I CAN DO THIS!
I REALLY LIKE YOU AND RESPECT YOU KEVIN. YOUR ETHICS REGARDING DELIVERING WHAT YOU PROMISE ARE DEFINITELY IN. CONGRATULATIONS!
INTERNET BUSINESS: HERE I COME!! AND THIS TIME, I COMPLETELY KNOW I AM GOING TO MAKE IT!
THANKS A LOT AND GREAT SUCCESS FOR ALL MEMBERS!

The Dirty Laundry Report hits the nail right on the head! I too have allowed myself to fall victim of many so called "this is the one" programs. I am finally starting to put together the bits and pieces and fill in the holes the hard way. While I have found no overnight riches, I do believe a profitable internet business is likely with a lot of hard work.

I just read the dirty laundry report and it has lots of useful information.No wonder people get frustrated and quit when they are sold useless crappy products only meant to earn an income for the developers and not even meant to solve a problem.There are enough of these "half-baked" products out there, the dirty laundry report was really refreshing to read.Thanks!

Well done Kevin. your genuine efforts to help so many folks who have been dudded big time by false hopes and promises really shines through.
I have probably spent enough to pay off some guru's new BMW or about half a house for a grand total of $22 in adsense revenue in 3 years !!
Looking forward to working with some real information.

Hi. Yes, I agree with Mary. It was so funny reading your treatise on how they claim that you will be able to follow along even if you are a beginner, but it just is not true.
I've tried a few already. There is no quick fix to get money coming in. That's a big hump you have to get over in the beginning to make anything work.

Marilyn Lenhan said:
Hi, I agree with Mary. It's not at all what they tell you. There is a heck of a lot to learn up front and they are not going to supply you with everything you need.
So, it was funny to get somebody who actually sees the prroblem out there and funny to think that finally there will be something where I can follow along.

As Kelvin said in the dirty laundry report, work is NOT just a 4-letter word. I know that for long time; but no matter what I did, I was not able to make my online business success. I know finding a coach is a must - a coach who knows what and how to do and done "it" before. As I cannot waste anymore time and money, I end up chatting with an experienced internet marketer, who sent me webinar info about Nitro. After that, I join the Boot-Camp. It's going to start next week and I am going to WORK HARD and targeting for a big success. While Kelvin said investment is part of the system of becoming successful, I believe this is my best bet. If you have not read the Dirty Laundry Report, I believe you should read it before you make a decision to stay in the online marketing industry.

Perhaps the collective consciousness of so many people (not just newbies) wanting to be successful but needing a step-by-step blueprint is what brought about the creation of Nitro Blueprint.
We create our own reality.
When the students are ready, the teacher (or method, curriculum, course…) appears.
I have confidence that even if there are some gaps in Nitro Blueprint (can one program cover everything without being overwhelming?), there will be ways to bridge each gap.
The previous frustrations were good; they helped clarify our desires. Onward, now, to success at last!

I like what you talk about in your report. There are lots of systems out there, that claim to tell you how to do it, but most of them fail. The problem is, this makes it hard to trust one that "realy" has a system. Whos the good guy and whos the bad guy? I still can tell, but I will hpfully after following your free trainings.

The dirty laundry report is a reminder for us to work smarter not harder. The fact that most people fail building online business means there are many efforts being made in the wrong way and also with the wrong tools.
My experience shows that there are many information sources but every one is showing a side of a multi face phenomena similar to trying to win a card game with too many hidden cards.
It is great to find and follow a system which is build for beginners and advanced users who are ready to win the online business game.
