Hehe also, when I first opened this thread from its last few pages I wondered why this guy Freddyjames posts to and follows this thread so actively if he's not the OP. By reading through the thread I can now see how over the years a skeptic at first with no success became a successful internet marketer.
You are absolutely right in everything you said.
I post a lot here because this method is how I started in IM, it is perfect for beginners. My first site or two were not successful because I deviated from the method, once I followed exactly what it teaches I was making $100 a day in no time at all. I still get sales from that site from comments I made nearly 3 years ago.
Since then of course I have moved on from review sites to building more authority sites and my own product on CB. However, none of this could have been achieved without what I learned from this method, which is why I try to help others now who are where I was 3 years ago.
In fact, I still use this method in some capacity to this very day.
As you so rightly put, if people read the thread in its' entirity and put the method into practice, they will make money - it is that simple. And if they're are too lazy to read the thread, the chances are that IM is just not something they will be successful at.
For instance:
IS this legit? Still making money?
This person asks a question whether the method still makes money, despite the fact that 4 or 5 posts above his question there is another post by somebody who made money with it the day before.
I highly doubt that person will learn how to be successful at IM until he understands that reading and learning is a very important part of it, probably the most important part.
