			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><p>Well the title says it all. I read almost all internet marketing <strike>scams</strike> offers, and even the best of the writers, somewhere in his overstuffed sales letter, makes an obvious statement, followed by the words &#8220;guess what?&#8221;<br />
I stopped saying that in nineteen fifty nine. Stop writing that! Makes you sound like an idiot. Thing is, I think all of these IM money grubbing bastards follow a templated sales letter. They all attempt to emulate the success of the last guy who made a million dollars with a similar sales letter, using similar language and just repeat what they think works.</p>
<p>Maybe they&#8217;re right. I don&#8217;t phuqueing know anything any more, except that:<br />
first off, lots of folks have laid out a good deal of money, making the author rich and<br />
second, that writing those words make a person sound like an idiot.</p>
<p>Can&#8217;t blame them though. I wouldn&#8217;t mind being thought be an idiot,&#8230;for the right price. But guess what, I often do it for free.</p>
