It is one thing to make money online with private ad sales, but it is another thing to do so by accepting ads onto my blog that promote services that are total scams and fraud. With my private ad sales increasing as well as the requests to take full advantage of the advertisement programs being offered on my blog, I now know that I need to be very careful and selective with who I accept into my program.

Today I invested some time into following the links of all my private advertiser’s sites. There was one advertiser who caught my eye in particular. The advertiser was promoting a site called, LiveBizwebcast. This is a website that is part of Jeffrey Lant’s huge live webcast affiliate marketing scam. It is a lure to drive people into their live webcast where Jeffrey Lant and a few select people assigned to his scam team attempt to rob people out of over $1200 dollars of their hard earned money.

When I visited the site that is patched into the huge network hosted by Jeffrey Lant, I could quickly see right through him. His purpose is simple: Collect as much money for as many people as possible. Quickly after logging in, I was addressed live on the webcast by Jeffrey Lant and quickly I was pushed into his product order page. I played the game as if I were just a regular visitor and for the hell of it, I decided to let him walk me through his little scam process from start to finish.

Immediately I was asked by Jeffrey Lant, “Do you want to make money online?” Sure! I replied. “My next webcast starts in one hour, stick around and watch the entire show and you will be giving 50,000 free web site visitors to your web site of choice!”, say Lant. “All you have to do is watch my show from start to finish, you don’t even have to buy anything. This is my gift to you just for watching the show”.

Fine whatever, so as I was doing maintenance on a few of my own sites, I had the show opened up and minimized in a separate window. After 30 minutes of listening to this little pathetic looking troll with eyeglasses, he then directed everyone back to the main lobby. There was a about 60 people including myself logged in and listening to his show.

Moving back to the main lobby, quickly him and his top sales associate, Jim Carpenter, were working aggressively towards closing sales of their $1200 dollar product. The sad thing is that a few people were actually buying. I feel so terrible for those folks that wasted their money. Then Lant asked me what my intentions were. I told him that I have given him my valued time; however, at this time I am not interested in purchasing your product. I am however, still interested in the bonus you offered me for watching the show.

Immediately after that, all hell broke loose. He called me names, and told everyone in the room, “here is an example of a person who has zero skills or intelligence in the business, he’s just a guy that want to rob me and score his free gift”, said Lant. “It doesn’t work that way Garry Conn. I give out the free bonuses to the people that buy the product! These are the people that deserve my gifts!”, continued Jeffrey Lant.

He further continued with his trollish rampage by saying, “You have been very uncooperative and quite honestly a pain in my ass for the last 90 minutes you have been logged in. I am done speaking with you and as far as your time is concerned, everyone invests their time into something!”

So, you know, Jeffrey Lant is right about one thing, people do invest their time into things. I have chosen to invest my time into calling him out and placing a warning message for people who read and or will pass through my blog in the future. Do not buy anything from Jeffrey Lant. He is a scam artist, he is rude, he is a troll and he is only concerned with taking money from people who are too ignorant to see the big picture of his operation.

Here is a complete list of domain names that YOU WILL NEED to watch out for. He has an empire of domain names that all link to his main scam artists central. Here is the list below:

If you see any of these web sites being advertised, back away. These sites lead to terrible things. I invested 90 minutes of my time to sit there as a John Doe undercover to witness first hand the process of Jeffrey Lant. If you buy anything from Jeffrey Lant, you are buying into a scam and you will have wasted your time and most importantly your money.

Christine Senter dropped me a instant message yesterday afternoon asking me about my opinion on how many pages an Ebook should be? I guess a lot of it deals with the person. For me, and depending on the topic, I typically prefer Ebooks to be around 10 to 20 pages in length, assuming that they are free. Usually free ones suck and 10 to 20 pages is all I can bare.

If the Ebook is something I paid for, I don’t care if it’s only one sentence long or 100 pages long, it better change my life and better not be just a garbage digital affiliate link pool.

Is it just me, or do some Ebooks make you feel like you’ve just downloaded something else such as the famous GhostBuster’s Containment Unit or Ghost trap. Meaning you’ve just downloaded a digital holding cell packed full of affiliate links instead of ghosts.

I don’t want to get off topic here… so the key thing I want to know is this assuming that quality was good, and the price of the Ebook was around $5 to $10 dollars, how many pages would you want an Ebook to be?

Have you been wondering why your blog just purely sucks? Why it is the best kept secret on the Internet? Why you can’t even get your mother to visit it? Well, first off your blog doesn’t suck and as far as it being a secret on the Internet, I am hoping to help you change that.

If you’re a good blog writer, then your problem isn’t in your quality of content, it’s in your ability to promote and market your blog and the jewels hidden inside it. Writing an Ebook could be a very viable solution to your marketing problem. Here is why.

1. Ebooks are very popular, especially free ones. People download Ebooks like they were going out of style. The thing that is most ironic about this fact is that most Ebooks totally SUCK! They are terrible, offer zero quality and absolutely provide no material for helping people. Yet, time and time again, people download these digital pieces of garbage. If you can control yourself and manage to write something really useful, Ebooks aren’t hard to do. The people that break free from this viral trend of writing garbage Ebooks are the ones that really prosper.
2. Ebooks are very search engine friendly. I read tons of SEO blogs. Most of the suck, I just try to be a nice guy and not make a big stink about it. However, again… most SEO blogs don’t know crap about SEO. They just do a great job with branding their name and making people think that they’re an expert, while in reality they are not. I have never ones ran across a post on an SEO blog that talks about PDF files. Yet Google talks about PDF files all the time. PDF Files are very search engine friendly. If you write an eBook in PDF format and upload it to your server and then tell everyone about your Ebook and where to download it, in return they will write posts about your EBook and provide direct links to your the URL where other people can download it. That, my friends, is called back links and back links is what builds up PageRank and PageRank is what builds up authority in the SERP rankings. If you’re eBook then has links that point to various posts and sections within your blog, then you are helping build your own internal pages PageRank. You won’t get tips like that on any cheesy SEO blog.
3. Ebooks can help you make money. Again, if you’re not an idiot about it, you can use an Ebook to promote products that you approve on and feel like it would be helpful to share with others. If the products you recommend happen to have an affiliate program coupled to it, great! Make a little money by scoring some leads or sales. There is nothing wrong with that. However, keep this word in mind: PERCEPTION. What do people perceive of you and your Ebook. If people believe that you’re just using this Ebook for the purpose of making money, you’ll make readers feel as if you believe them to be simple money whores. If you come across to people as if you care only about making money off them, that is offensive and will deliver a negative reaction. If you have found a product that really helps you become better at something and it has impacted how you do things, etc… then sure! Write an Ebook about it and tell the world.

That is all for now about Ebooks, I could go on and on about them. One more thing that I want to point out is this: Ebooks are not hard to produce. They don’t have to be long, in fact, you can produce a 5 page Ebook and that would be fine too. I believe writing Ebooks and writing blog posts are very transferable. Meaning, if you ‘re good at blogging, you too can be good at writing Ebooks. Just remember that people want to be SEMI. If you don’t know what SEMI is, I suggest that you read this post that I wrote titled, Top Ways To Create A Positive Buzz on Your Blog.

For once, I am just going to throw down and speak my mind. I have a new series of posts that I’ll be publishing over the span of whatever… called, “How many FILL IN WORD Does It Take To Screw In A Light Bulb?”

The reason why I am doing this series is simple. I am totally fed up and sick of all the freaking garbage, noise and pollution that is being published on many of the blogs that supposedly are intended to help people learn about making money online, Internet and search engine marketing, search engine optimization and business blogging strategies.

So many blog authors, and I literally mean a countless number of them, are projecting themselves to be experts in the business while they fail to find success in the propaganda they write about and offer to others. It’s stupid. It is totally misleading, misguiding and it needs to stop. People turn to the Internet to seek online careers for very valid and important reasons and when uneducated and inspiring individuals have to be subjected to garbage, it honestly kind of aggravates me.

So anyway, I wrote this post immediately after I received an email from someone asking me to review their brand new e-book that promises to change the world. So knowing in advanced, that this eBook would totally suck, I downloaded it anyway to get confirmation.

The question remains, “How Many eBook Downloads Does It Take To Screw In A Light Bulb?” In other words to paraphrase this question in less sarcastic terms: How many more eBook downloads does it take before people stop the madness of pretending to be experts and releasing garbage into the blogosphere?

Once again, I downloaded yet another eBook that makes me want to puke.Yet another eBook that offers nothing but noise, propaganda, misleading information and is packed full of affiliate links that point to even more mindless bullshit eBooks that waste millions of dollars from people who only want to learn the business of making money online.

This whole eBook thing is a joke. And that is partly the reason why I trashed my eBook in the works a few months ago. I was more than half way done with my eBook and I quickly found that almost half of the book provided more education on what NOT to look for in an eBook than what it was originally intended for.

I don’t know… I might start a new eBook and title it, “How Many Light Bulbs Does It Take To Shine On A Fake” or “How Many Light Bulbs Does It Take To Get A Bright Idea” You know, the things of that nature… which are typical of the things I tend to rant about time to time on my blog.

For those out there who develop strategies, bullshit products and scams who rob from the uneducated and ignorant, it’s time that you stop. It is time that you pack your bags and get off the blogosphere. This is something that has bothered me more and more over time. As the months go by, I continue to bite my tongue, I continue to be respectful and continue to hold my thoughts and keep them reserved to myself.

But I must say this… it is getting very difficult to do so. It is getting even more difficult to keep myself from dropping “Call Out Bombs” on all the idiots out here in the blogosphere who are claimed to be experts but in reality are fakes. I can’t stand people who mislead others. I don’t like people who trick others and I sure as hell can’t stand people that lie.

I very well might say screw it and start calling out some names of the people who reside in what I call the StupidoSphere. So let this be a warning to anyone who sends me an email, drops me an IM or visits my blog: If you’re a fake, and pretend to be someone you’re not, take this as an official warning that I very well may blog about you and call you out on your bluff and publicly display you as the true fake and liar you are.

Have a nice day! LOL!!!

You are one out of thousands of people who all want the same thing, “To Make Money Online!“…. but how do you do it and who can you trust to show you? … that is the question!

So, who helps you learn how to make money online? Is it working for you? I found this post titled, “What does it really take to make money online” from Money Listers. I enjoyed reading the article up to the point where ONCE AGAIN… its fake, a bunch of bullshit and the whole post just leads up to trying to convince readers into buying a stupid affiliate based e-book.

So, who the hell can you trust? Who really cares and wants to help you learn how to make money online? Honestly…

BTW.. here is where the highlighted link goes:

Noooooo…. not yet another get rich ebook page that never ends!!! Man, I really feel terrible for people who buy this crap.

I have to admit, what attracted me to this article is fact that it kind of sounded like how I do business where I look for writers who want to partner with me and jointly run sites together. But, sure enough as I got to the end of the article, it was just another article like the other thousands written that point to an affiliate driven product.

And the question still remains…. “Who Helps You Make Money Online?”

I guess even Money Listers dot Com isn’t bullet proof… but it sure is close!
