People Will Believe Anything

    Here's a thread I posted.

    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=620342

    Due to the popularity of the word blackhat,
    I created a mock thread that clearly (at least to me)
    demonstrates how eager people are to believe something.
    Now, it's a mock thread, but to adhere to the rules I am indeed
    selling plans for the Atlantis Antenna. I tried to really make it exaggerated,

    I don't really want people to buy this. It shoud be obvious.
    Anyways, If I was trying to make a buck,
    I'd just make a similar product (magic beans) and capitalize on another's idea.

    This is a marketing technique I call "Riding The Wave".
    I noticed a thread had a huge list of people checking it out
    It was about blackhat method, this or that. Doesn't matter.

    So I made my post an EXTREME version of something that
    was popular already. You can use this on youtube, any media.

    Just another tip.

    P.S. Sorry if you bought the antenna. You want to make money?
    You just paid for a lesson in marketing :D Jk..

    Why you always create a new thread? I think your blackhat methods are innovative but they are also time consuming. I still prefer white hat because it last longer and more effective although I love your youtube marketing.

    There's no way I'm selling anything for real.
    It's a crash course in "not getting scammed".

    I would not rip people off like that.
    I did sell a 'secret' SEO technique and that was a bit low,
    But, no more. I'd rather contribute something.

    Some people understand and are adding to the joke :)

    I think people will always be gullible. Hey, who wouldn't want to learn how to make $10k in 1 day?

    I hope those who bought also see this thread. :)

    Thankfully nobody just outright sent me money.
    People wanted reviews first, and that's the real lesson.

    Although, testimonials don't mean much unless it's from a reputable person.

    Ok why not make a directory and request a reciprocal link
    Why not just make it so every time that link is clicked it takes you too a site that pays you for the traffic and make it a different one every time?
    Is this even legal?

    LOL

    Hilarious. That was funny, all these people asking for copies and what not hehe.

    10K a day is very doable ... but not with an Atlantis Antenna or whatever it was called :p

    (raucous laughter).....
    .... (pauses for breath) .....
    .... (more laughter)....
    There's no way anyone could have fallen for that!!! I always assumed that one needed brains to operate all this new-fangled technology in the first place...

    Actually, I'm not selling anything.
    I'm just proving a point and educating some of the noobs.
    I would never sell a total piece of crap like that.

    Thanks to all who got the joke,
    To those who didn't appreciate it,
    I hope santa brought you a sense of humor this year.

    I think you just realized you were about to give away plans to a $10000 per day income for $25 and realized you needed to raise the price!!

    ADMIT IT!!!

    You're probably planning the new atlantis launch and were going to leave us out of it!!

    I WANT MY ANTENNA!!


    Hey, I'm obviously new here, but I enjoyed the joke.
