Do They Really Think You’re Stupid ?
Randy’s Ramblings March 03 2007
Hello Peeps,
It’s me again, and it’s march already !! Flippin eck! (Can I say that?)…lol
So how was february for you? – Good I hope 
, I quite surprised myself in february!
I had thought with all the time I put into the Kids Hearts project – that my income would suffer. But instead it turned out I had a terrific month (maybe the powers that be thought I should do ok for trying to help a worthy cause?)
One of the things I’ve done rather well from is a really good new ebook I bought. I’ll tell you about that in a bit 
But First …. (Here I go) … I wanted to have a ‘Ramble’ on about How Stupid some of the ‘big name’ marketers must think we are.
Hey – I’ve nothing against them making money, and I truly wish I was writing to you from my luxury mansion with you reading this on your cabin cruiser…. (Really I wish, I wish).
Maybe one day folks, What gets to me tho’ is when I feel they’re trying to take advantage !
Like everyone I’m sure, I started getting emails from people who attended the 5K a ticket seminar, All telling me how wonderful it was, what a fabulous education, and even a hypnotist show……and NO Product Promotion!!!
(Big deal – One of my friends is a big time hypnotist, holds the world record for the fastest stage induced trance blah blah blah ……and I get to see loads of his shows without spending 5K)
But CRIKEY people, before the seminar is over – I’m suddenly getting multiple emails from all of the attendees promoting the organisers “Latest, Greatest, Must Have Product”????
So what happened to NO promotions??
The Next thing we hear is that there’s a fued brewing ….. and 2 other marketers are offering a similar product for free!
I assume by now you must know I’m talking about the ‘Tell A Friend’ scripts being touted to us?
Now I’m not going to jump on the bandwagon and tell you that you must have them!….Why …… because I DON’T think you’re Stupid !
While they all argue over which is the best or easiest …… and how some massive names with ginormous lists made a couple of hundred thousand more etc…etc..etc.. I was just sitting here ‘thinking’.
Here’s my thoughts…..
If I came across a site that asked me to input the names and emails of 3 of my friends….. in order for me to get a discount or freebie —— My first reaction wold be to stick in 3 fake addresses! After that – I’d put in 3 of my own!
The LAST thing on Earth I would do —- is actually add my friends details without having asked them first!!!
Why? — well for one thing, I’d consider it Rude…. if I suddenly started getting a hundred emails a day trying to sell me things…… I’d be pretty upset to discover my so called friends had just added me, here there and everywhere!
Secondly ….. IF, … If they product really was fantastic AFTER I had checked it out …. Well then I’d prefer to personally tell my friend….. wouldn’t you too?
What’s more – If there was an affiliate program – Then I’D be making a few dollars for my efforts….. and not just passing all my friends addresses straight onto Mr Guru’s lists !!
I mean – Why would I give up my potential sales BEFORE I even knew who might be interested?….. and why would I let Mr Guru send the info to Friends of mine that I knew wouldn’t be interested anyway?
So that’s my big gripe this week peeps, The fact that ‘They MUST think we’re all STUPID’!
And hence – there are no links here to recommend any of the 3 competitors ….. If you want to buy a viral friends script ….. You’ll have to google for one…… or check your emails for someone else’s link!
***
Well that’s got that off my chest, ….. oh I feel so much better now….lol
Next on todays agenda.
***
A quick reminder that I still have the 52 Piece Software Package I mentioned in my last entry.
Well you do need a special deal for putting up with me …lol
***
Oh yeah …. Before I forget and run out of daylight hours for you to be able to read all this people, I’d better tell you about the ebook I mentioned that I think is Excellent!
I’ve gotta tell you the story behind it tho…. lol
It started when I logged in to one of the good forums I’ve mentioned before………
I saw a thread that was starting to grow at quite a rate ….. So I thought I’d take a nosey… (As you do)
What I saw was a heck of a lot of people ALL saying great things about a new ebook written by a young but respected marketer…
So ok – I was impressed —- BUT what impressed me more was some of the names that I recognised – people whom I know don’t BS, or suffer inferior products without spouting off about it !!
To see these people doing nothing but speaking positively about this new ebook REALLY STARTED to peak my interest…… ….LOL….I was nearly Tempted to have a look at the sales page
(I’d spent enough already in February – so I got back to what I was supposed to be doing…lol)
Long Story Short —
Then – I got a PM (Private Message) from the forum owner —- (I’ve had 3 or 4 from him in over a year)
He doesn’t usually mention anything about products people discuss in his forum …. only on a RARE occassion!
So when he said :
####
“Crazy name – Killer method…
Anyone about to give up on Internet marketing should get this book and give it one more shot. It really doesn’t get any easier than this.
Highly recommended..”
####
I knew I had to check out the sales page then peeps …… So I did — suffice to say – I bought.
I don’t like to spend good money when there are so many cheaper ebooks and reports around guys ……. *But*
I have to say – while this is still at half price I AM GLAD I BOUGHT IT !
AND (having Now Read it)
I can highly recommend it to Everyone I know …… I just can’t envisage ANYONE being disappointed with this ebook!
So without further ado peeps – click here and see what you think:
**Sidenote** — It really is something we should all have a copy of guys…
Ok ….obligation met – I’ve told you, the rest is up to you …lol
***
BTW peeps – Did you Grab the Freebies last time?….. cos they change ‘em after every Sunday, and it finishes today!..
Totally Free PLR Products With UNrestricted Rights…so you can even sell them on ebay
**
And how’s the Lead Capture Page coming along?…Did you get a chance to look at my instruction page?… I hope it was of some use for you if you don’t have any sort of site yet..
***
Well you must be due a coffee by now ….. Or you might have fallen asleep at the keyboard already (My Fault – I’m Sorry)
So just before I go – I wanted to let you know some news
I’ve been working on putting a product together with that 7 doIIar script I mentioned , I’m hoping it will be ready before I’m next due to write you.
IF — I get it finished …… I hope you won’t mind too much if I get in touch? – so be sure to subscribe to my email version to hear about it first.
Then you can promote it and keep the ca$h
That wouldn’t be too bad – would it? …… So no promises,
But if you see another ‘Randy’s Rambings’ hit your inbox ….do take a look – it will be worth it (If I get it Finished…lol)
***
On that note – I’ll wrap up for this week peeps,
And don’t forget – I’ll be posting this on my blog www.RandolfSmith.com, (edit – it’s here…lol) So if you’d care to comment – do stick a link in your comment to any site you’re promoting. (That said – I may have to turn comments off — I’ve been getting 25 – 30 a day from the people seIIing tablets and stuff?????)
Either way – if I do you can still email me …. I always love to hear from my peeps
As usual – I do hope you benefit from the time you’ve invested in me and my Ramblings
So here’s hoping you’re
Loving Life, Living it with Passion, And Passing it on!
Til next time
Warm Regards to You and Yours,
From Me and Mine.

Nice Ramble!

Hi Randy,
Don’t know if that is your real name but hey I like to get your Ramblings makes a change from free page of offers which really mean,
Something like an affiliate page but you have to buy your domain name and pay for hosting, then a monthly fee and free my A.
The seller is getting a nice income from recommending the host page etc.
I did not come up on the last banana boat.
Now I am going to tell you something about me.
I am in Australia, that’s what the [au] is on the end of my email addy.
Guess where I was born.
Windhill near Shipley.
Was in a workhouse Children’s home in Skipton at the age of 5.
Got farmed out to foster parents when I passed my scholarship at the age of 10.
spent my teen years in and around Bradford,
Married and lived in Preston till my son was 11.
Came to Australia in 1968 and lived in Victoria.
Worked in Office Administration till I retired at 48, then bought a take away food store.
Went Bankrupt a few years later.
Bought a five acre block in the rainforest, then a house on the coast, moved to Northern Territory and bought 5 acres there.
Then back to Queensland and bought 25 acres in a place called Gin Gin.
My Husband died of rampant cancer about 6 years ago.
I had a bad accident and suffered a stroke, damaged my spine and other injuries from which they said I would never walk again 5 years ago.
I stopped them giving me morphine and was in a wheel chair for some time.
But I walked again gradually and in screaming pain but I did it and walk now, mostly without even a stick, hurts sometimes but you learn to live with it.
I had another brain stroke a few weeks back, no damage done
I now live with my daughter and granddaugter still in Queensland but much further south.
As a result of the accident and I suppose old age I have lost so much weight, that it is not funny.
I am 5ft.3ins and weigh only 6stone 4lbs every body has a diet to lose weight but nobody has one to gain weight, and I look like a skinned rabbit.
[Now] want to know how old I am, I am 73 I shall be 74 in August I was born in 1933.
I can remember back since I was 2 years of age.
Now for the crunch.
I have Aspergers syndrome and several other syndromes to go with it.
I am Bi-Polar, Obsessive compulsive, hyperactive and have what is known as Oppositional Defiance Disorder Hyperlexic, and you know what,
I do not give a tinkers.
I am known throughout the world to the Autism community as Nanna Shirl.
I am still a Yorkshire lass at heart but I would not leave Australia it has been good to me and I love the country.
Perhaps I should write an e-book.
How to Survive when you are Born with all the Odds Against you.
Nough said.
It is the end of Summer here and still hot as you move into your Spring so perhaps I should send you a parcel of sunshine.
I look forward to your next Ramble.
Shirley V.
What an Inspiring story for the rest of us Shirley,
It puts new focus on some of the things we often complain about!!
So much so that I posted your story on a forum and here was one persons reply…..(He wanted me to let you know Shirley)
*Quote*
Randy,
I just wish I had a tenth of Nanna Shirl’s courage and will. Some of us (and I include myself in this) don’t now we’re born.
We moan, and blame, and find any excuse (I’m still including myself) to not go out there and grab life for what it is.
That message has just shaken me out of another bout of can’t do (why not?) attitude, and also to get back in touch with loved ones who I’ve been avoiding because of self worth issues.
Thanks for that, and if you are replying to Nanna Shirl, tell her she’s ‘made a difference’ to someone.
Regards
Dave
*End Quote*
So well done on making a difference Shirley
Warm Regards

Hi Randy,
I enjoyed your letter and will order the eBook. I regret I have not yet had time to browse your site properly but hope to get to it soon !
I Look forward to that. For me, you are pure gold in amongst the rats nest
Best,
Dave. (cornwall dave)
p.s tell me please, is the Warrior Forum a uk enterprise. It seems invaluable. I am just desperately short of time to take full advantage of the things I have highlighted for some serious study.
I’m glad to hear you enjoyed my ‘Ramble’ …..
As for the Warrior forum – it is US owned…. But there are some great UK guys on there…..The product review section is excellent….but try to be picky on the main forum …there’s a lot of time wasting in there… as you get to know who makes good posts – it becomes easier to ignore the tittle tattle…the search facility is good too, and there is a section someone has compiled of all the really good posts.
Don’t worry about rushing to check my site….. if you have plenty to be going on with, and remember with any offers you see – ask yourself IF it will really be of use to YOUR plans and goals…..regarless of how good it may be – if it doesn’t fit in with your objectives – it can only distract you!!
