When you arrive at the store, there's a huge crowd in front of it and the tv's are sold out in less than 10 minutes. 80% of those sheep buying them don't even need a new tv, they only buy it because of the irresistible offer, herd-mentality and scarcity of the deal.

Same concept at online deal-sites:



I didn't just make that up, Paul. It's a well-known marketing technique.



.
I said "Show us YOUR irresistible offer and we will believe you didn't pull that post out of your ass."

Not some screen grab.

So if you sell a life times membership to Brazzers for $1. Not a scam. We can all see how it's done.

A mediocre photographer who made more than you do. Who wouldn't shoot custom for peanuts. Who now lives off his private pensions and the income from his content sales, 4 years after retiring.

You can lie all you like to prove a false point. Doesn't make it right.

Show us your great sites so we can see how you work.
