    Take a look what he and his friend have for us. :D

    http://tinyurl.com/tj4kx - TINY URL - so there is no backlink.

    Watch the whole video. I really don't know, some poeple will even catch themselft on this trap. It is nice marketing idea, but IMO it is pretty stupid. ;)

    I have always wondered about that system, (the butterfly marketing idea), does anybody have free link that would explain it a bit more?

    I like the Rich Jerk Marketing idea, not bad, just a bit obvious I guess.

    Hi all (My first post here) ,

    I receive his mails for a while now and its getting worser and worser. A couple of weeks ago he set up the 'brandy' show for Stompernet and now he's doing this... When we take a look at whois.net and type in butterflymarketingmanuscript.biz we get to see this:

    And these are some random quotes from his email I received today:

    Rofl...

    This is what happens when Sales go downhill. Notice the fact that he's also paying Howard Stern for Advertisements? It's all downhill from there bud... :p

    Notice that he HAS THE MONEY to pay Howard Stern for advertisements? He did what thousands try to do every day, took recycled information and sold it to thousands of suckers. The funny thing about suckers is they haved to get suckered 10, 11, or 12 times before they give up and sometimes they keep blindly clicking "buy now" with pictures of sports cars dancing in their head. What you think is a silly email is sending him order after order after order. That is the world of marketing.

    Yeah, I would buy a book from someone who become popular offending everyone including you... right...
    But it worked for him, so the strategy was good. It's our world...

    I guess he is proof that spam works :-p It might be annoying, but it works.

    http://thebutterflymarketingmanuscript.com/anti-spam.html (got this link from the page that the video is on)

    "We have a strict policy against spam"

    HAHA, if he is going to spam, atleast don't bullshit everyone and blatently lie. Yoshi's post clearly shows that he spams via e-mail.

    Of course I do... this doesn't mean that his Business isn't going downhill. He's trying a new Medium since the Medium he was successful with is now gone. The problem is -- Howard Stern is not going to make as many sales as PPC Search Engines...not even close. He's playing darts with a blindfold on hoping he hits something now.

    So, why would he do this? He has no choice... he's obviously stuck and wanting to squeeze Blood from a Turnip. And we know how that goes.

    Now don't twist my words as I NEVER said he was not successful... I'm saying his business is going downhill.

    By telling not to tell others he is making it viral. It will spread faster. Human nature.

    No because that sounds too obvious if he would have said that just once then he might have gotten more people but he is actually putting force on it so i dont think people will fall for that. I was actually thinking he is right when i heared that dont tell others and i knew what was going on :D

    Except, he is doing it very poorly and he is not very believable.

    I assure you, people are that stupid. Just in this thread we have someone pointing out the obvious of an extremely old ebook not selling as well as it did when it started. I don't think there is a successful marketer here that will say their products sell as good today as they did a year ago. That's the entire reason people come out with 50 ebooks.

    lol even in the video the guy is saying RJ is banging chicks...doesn't he have a wife?

    this guy is desperate for sales...wouldn't be surprised if the guy talking in the video is the RJ himself.
