Agreed. Shady marketing is actually more work than real/legit marketing. Someone or some company with a legit product knows they don't have to spend resources or moral capital on shady marketing techniques. Plus, no one with a good product wants to taint a good product with shady marketing. Chad @ Sentient Money´s last blog post..GM Going Bankrupt?

@ Chad, the product sets the stage for everything else, doesn’t it? You can still use false scarcity, yellow highlighting, and pics of bank statements, but that kind of stuff seems much less prevalent among good products.

It is much harder to have a shady marketing program if the product isn't shady. Chad @ sentient money´s last blog post..GM Going Bankrupt?

@ Saiful, some of the principles are helpful to people who haven’t encountered them before, but do you really think it’s better than RDPD?

@ Alex, I cringed as soon as I read “I went to the free Millionaire Mind weekend program.” I had an idea of what was coming. I’m not entirely thrilled with the need to market in a certain way, but I’m getting there. I think you have a good solution for now – outsource your copywriting, so you can focus on what you do best.

Being the only book of this wealth generation style that I'd ever read, so I found some useful tidbits in it. Then I went to the free Millionaire Mind weekend program and lost all respect for the book (and almost any other type of marketing programs) because it was self-contradictory (never pay full price for something but value yourself and demand that people pay you your worth), pressure-tactic based (this other program we want you to buy is usually $6000 but if you buy it by the end of the weekend it will be $3000 and if you buy it in the next break, it will cost you only $1500), and outright deceitful (the speaker who wasn't Eker used a story from the book and spoke in first person which made me believe that Eker's story wasn't true either). Unfortunately it's coloured my vision of all marketing programs and that's made it difficult to develop my own marketing without feeling as shady as them.

Woa woa woa woa woa… Hold on to your horses people!

Hunter, as much as I love you, I think you’re DEAD WRONG on this one.

It’s the BEST book in the world for people who come from poor families with poor mental attitudes.

The magic is in LIVING the “Wealth Files”

Sure, these principles might be simple but the effects come from practising them.

And the Jars System has helped me and many of my readers to succeed financially.

And I love the freedom I have of spending every cent in my Play Account to treat myself like Royalty =)

This might not be a book for you Hunter because it’s very basic and probably because you have a high prosperity consciousness but this is definitely for someone who’s on the other end of the spectrum.

P.S. The arrows aren’t painful at all!

@ Richard, a paradigm shift can happen at any time, can’t it? Sometimes when we least expect it.

It’s been really interesting to read the posts about a book that when read most of you failed to understand. This book may not be for some those who read it OR what they just missed was the one or two jewels that were hidden between the lines that they failed to grasp. And I do understand.
Every book no matter how bad some feel it has been written has within it little jewels of imparted knowledge that one can use if one is willing to lose the pedestal that one placed themselves on and we all do that.

As I remember my lesson in that respect was received many years ago, after countless classes, books and seminars, when I thought I knew what I was talking about.

A friend of mine had just taken this seminar came to me with a glowing recommendation of it and said that I had to take it, that it was right up my alley so to speak. Respecting thier recommendation, I signed up to take it.
While taking the first three day seminar I found myself carrying on this conversation in my head with myself about how I knew all about this and I knew all about that and wondered what I was to learn while I was there. Little did I know that what I thought I knew what was about to take a mild 180 deg turn and turn my life up side down. Here I was critiquing this course because of what I thought I knew when I should have shot that Inner critiquing voice and just listened. It wasn’t until the second of three seminars by the same organization that I got what I missed in the first one, and when I GOT IT, it hit me like a ton of bricks opening up me and my life to new plateaus. For those of you who are wondering about the phrase I GOT IT, it’s different for each of us, like a giant paradigm shift in our conscientiousness.
So for those of you who think they know it all, I feel bad that you are so self consumed as I was to the point that you may miss the little jewels that can have dramatic influences on your life or for no other reason give you something to impart to someone who can use it to the betterment of their life.
Now of course this isn’t meant to be a condemnation of all of you out there, just a thought to be considered as you go through the rest of your life.
