What I’ve been Saying for Years

PPC Classroom is some newbie training bullshit for learning pee pee see.

Recently, an inside source there helped me rip it to shreds. It’s just more guru bullshit that sells because of the hype. All fluff and no flavor. Lot of sizzle and no steak, as they say. Insert additional cliches here.

So this came to my attention the other day. It’s a video from Anik, who is the man behind PPC Classroom. I was going to embed the video here but it autoplays (tempting to do – but it might annoy far too many people). You can go to Anik’s blog to watch it douche.

Watch it if you want, but I’ll give you a brief summary:

This motherfucker ADMITS to screwing people! ADMITS IT! PPC Classroom screws people because it was sold completely on hype. Amit Mehta made millions with Adwords – so you can too fuckwad! Just prepared to get rebilled every month and learn just enough of the basics so we can say we actually “helped you”!

Anik basically says there were only a few success stories to come out of PPC Classroom. The good majority of their students failed. That’s capital F, as in Fucked in the ass. Well no fucking shit. How far were people supposed to get with watered down material and PPC information from 1992?

The same old story goes for all these guru bullshit products, not just PPC Classroom. They take one success story and milk its for all its worth. This shit is just one big circle jerk designed to fleece newbies over and fucking over.

The fucked up part is that its marketing 101- sell the dream! People will buy into it. This is exactly how shitty As Seen on TV weight loss products work (not all, but most) – no one gets the advertised results by doing whats said in the advertisement. You’re not getting six-pack abs with a belt that electrocutes your stomach… just a fact.

Losing what little faith in society i had left …

So I can’t get mad because this is what I and most readers of this blog do all day. Sell shit people don’t need but think they do.

But I can and will get mad at this- the comments.

The fucking comments on Anik’s post. Holy fucking shit these people make me mad.

Let’s look at some these dumb fucks –

Its about time that someone is taking the time to help out the newbies that are broke and believe in all the hype that is out there. I am one of those and it really is hard to know who to follow and who not to. Thank you for figuring it out and offering the help!!! That is huge! Jodie

Hey Jodie. How about a nice tall glass of shut the fuck up?

It’s about time? Are you fucking high? This motherfucker Anik has been fleecing newbies with hype for years and suddenly he has a change of heart because no one buys into PPC Classroom anymore, and now it’s about time he’s helping broke newbies? Bitch you crazy.

Well to be honest this the one of the few email subject lines that grabbed my attention since I’m overwhelmed by depression for achieving absolutely nothing so far in the IM world and I’ve been around for quite a really relatively long time to be not earning not a dime. but THANK YOU for this video because somehow its a wakeup call to me. Thanks again.

Hey dumb fuck – I think if you haven’t figured it out by now you should proably… you know… give up? I really fucking doubt Anik is going to change your life. I really do.

Seriously give up you stupid failure before you get so depressed you kill yourself.

Thank you. I have no doubt thousands–millions–of hopefuls will benefit from this. My problem has always been STARTING SMALL. Now, I find myself in the position you describe–not bankrupt, but for all practical purposes broke. I can see what to do if I still had money to work with. What I CAN”T see is how to get there starting with ZERO. I at least have an active web hosting account paid for. You teach me how to use it to make the necessary cash, and I’ll BUY anything you have to sell.

You fucking idiot. You’re whats wrong with this whole situation. The last thing this industry needs is millions of “hopefuls” jumping in. Where’s your hosting at? 1and1? Lololol.

Now you sound like someone that can be believed!

:: facepalm ::

Thank You Anik
You don’t know how much this means to me. I have spent about $30000. in one year jumping all over the place, and yes I am about to declare bankrupcy. I have done nothing but trying to learn how but then something new comes along and the rest is history.

The only good of it is now i don’t have the money any more to jump around so now I have to use what I have and that’s it.

You must be one of these retards that lines the guru pockets with money? Say “I” if you’re on more than 20 “make money online” mailing list.

If Frank Kern asked you to pay him to suck his dick, I bet you’d be on your knees, mouth open wide, with a $20 in your hand in less than 5 seconds flat.

GREAT point. Finally somebody is not sucking $$$ from us right away. Thank you!

Yes finally the lord and savior of newbies, Anik Singal, has descended from the heavens! Praise him!

I’m looking forward to your videos, I have a website set up, but not able to work out how to generate cash from it.

Yeah dude. I can’t wait to see what Anik does to help you with your Amazon-affiliate car parts site for a shitty car I’ve never heard of

Is this going to help and work for someone who doesn’t know how to work a computer??? I know how to send out e-mails to friends, but don’t know how to send to people I don’t know in order to build a list, if that is one of the things required then I am Stymied. Or to build a website, is beyond me. In otherwords I am at kindergarten level with computers. Hope you can come to my level of learning for this. Thanks Fred

Fred, you dumb fuck, with my system you can make $500 a day just emailing your friends from Outlook. No having to deal with those new-fangled “link” things and HTML codes.

Anik,What a breath of fresh air! My family is about ready to throw either me or the computer out the window. I have drained my retirement savings buying into program after program but still don’t know how to market and profit.Like many others state. there is information overload but getting from a to b is the main problem. I look foreward to your videos and hope to make that first $500. Millie

Your family should throw you out the window because you are fucking dumb. You are a drain on them, and you risked your life savings on what equates to a spin of the roulette wheel. Do them a favor and jump out yourself.

After three years of really trying to make it work, I hope you can show us “non-proformers” something very simple and easy to do. I’ve tried many ways but getting the right steady traffic is still the biggest hurddle to overcome It was always way too expensive and very time consuming.. PPC only made Google money not me and it is way too competitive for the little guy. I’ve slowly died on the vine from all the past IM hype.HELP I am on the edge of being bankrupt ! Here’s my S.O.S.

PPC is not too competitive for the little guy. The whole point is you can buy as few or as many clicks as you want. Riches have been made over and over with PPC by people in their boxer shorts. You fail because you spend too much time and money reading and buying guru bullshit, instead of getting those clicks.

The most fucked up part, beyond what these idiots are writing, is that most of their names link back to a website that’s about making money online. If you’re all marketing, SEO super business experts, why the fuck are you leaving comments that proves how little of an expert you actually are.

Fucking clueless people. FUCK.

Usually I don’t post about Podcasts and shit because they are a waste of time and boring. But Both Sides of the Tracks by Jason Rubacky and Eric Nagel is pretty legit.

Now, I was going to post about his show before Nickycakes was on it… true story. I’m not posting this because Cakes is on it… not like i’m secretly in love with him or anything. So I was going to post about it a few weeks ago but Jason said to wait for an interesting guest like Nickycakes.

So if you want to listen to affiliates shoot the shoot, check it out here. Jason is more into the CPS side of things so it’s always interesting to hear about other sides of the business.

A very interesting article… to say the least.

Online photos from a suspicious spending spree — people posing with jewelry, guns or fancy cars – can link suspects or their friends to robberies or burglaries.

Thanks to Alla for bringing this to light. Props to Edward @ Karaktr for coming up with this nonsense.

You’ve heard of the two-step flog…. that shit is old school. Rookie shit.

What’s working now is … wait for it… the 15 Step Flog.

That’s right ladies and gentlemen. With this flog you can send any kind of traffic to it and it will work. It doesn’t matter if its premium Adwords traffic or 100,000 hits you bought for $12 – this shit will convert like a motherfucker.

The only thing is you have to target females. Some fruity males will work.

• Target fat bitches that want to lost up to 400 pounds
• Target poor broads that need money to look better
• Target whores who need pinker and / or tighter vaginas (pretty big demo)

RIP IT NOW!

Ripped this shit off Wickedfire. Too funny not to post.

Want to see the worst affiliate program ever? No, it’s not Amazon’s….

Oh sorry I didn’t know we weren’t supposed to use religious figures in our E-mail subject lines and Blog titles.

To clarify this is an article or something i threw up years ago promoting this service. It got referrals steadily over time… not something i would actively promote.

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you… and to hear the lamentation of their women!

Volk leveraging the buzz to talk about shit on video. I once dickrolled Tyler Cruz on one of his lame ass cam feeds of him just sitting in a chair. true story.

Winner gets 10 free copy of Jon Volk’s Affiliate Marketing Guide.

dully called it.

Buildin web traffic so that we could sell an ad space

No, not because he started an affiliate network where charged people to join and had the shittiest payouts possible, but because he got beat by the tax man.

I have a junk box setup for guru bullshit and i saw this email from Shoemoney. I don’t know if it’s “OK” to publish this email, but Shoemoney can send me the C&D like he does to everyone else that mentions his name with commercial intent. Go get yourself on shoe’s list so he doesn’t have a hissy fit and pretend you got this email too.

Anyway, this email chronicles the story of Mike Filsaime’s retardation of not doing the proper paperwork for the IRS. Even the most half-assed business person knows about 1099’s… and how someone generating millions of dollars a year DID NOT DO THIS IS FUCKING AMAZING TO ME.

Really dude? Fucking millions of dollars a year and you couldn’t afford a fucking CPA (cert. public accountant …. not the other CPA) that went “Hey, wait a minute Mike… I think you need to fill out some 1099’s” You figured “Paypal was good enough?” WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU? HOW THE FUCK DID YOU GET THIS FAR IN LIFE?

The best part of this story, and by best I mean worst, is that Mike Filsaime is leveraging his stupidity into a product called Pay People Online. This product tracks 1099’s or some shit for people you pay through paypal.

WOW MIKE GREAT IDEA. HOW COME I DIDN’T THINK OF THIS?! Oh because I have a CPA that doesn’t smoke fucking crack and tells me obvious shit.

This story exemplifies the disconnect between real life businesses and online businesses. You think just because it’s online the same rules don’t apply? Well, when it comes to the IRS, you better believe they do. Now you’re $1.5 million poorer HAHAHAHAHAH!

From Shoemoney:
As I always say I learn 100x more from my failures then from my successes. What do you find more scary? Getting dinged by the IRS for 1.5 Million dollars in fines and penalties or having the FTC break down your door and virtually bankrupt you? One story we will cover in this email and the other in another week.

Mike Filsaime has been one of the biggest internet marketers in the world. His products have done millions in sales annually. Mike also has an army of affiliates that act as commission based sales people to sell products for him and he has paid out hundreds of thousands of dollars to them for years. I am sure many of you reading also pay people in some regard… maybe you have affiliates or maybe you just have contractors or other people you pay money to. All of you can benefit from hearing Mike’s story.

In Early 2008 the IRS conducted a random audit on Mike Filsaime’s company. There was nothing Mike did to trigger the audit, well other then being in our industry and the crazy spikes we see in revenue setting off some “Red Flags”. Anyway… They went over all of his financial records going back 7 years and came back to him with a huge mountain of paper work asking where his 1099’s were on all these people he had paid money to.

Mike told me for years he had been paying money to affiliates via PayPal and figured that was good enough records to keep on them. He had no clue he needed to also get a 1099 on every person he was paying money to through PayPal. After all… PayPal has records on these guys right?

The IRS told him it did not matter what PayPal had. It was HIS responsibility to have the 1099 tax forms on file for each of these people he was paying money out to. OUCH.

Mike said they not only let him NOT deduct those expenses but now HE now had to claim that income on that money that was actually paid out to people.

But here is where it really sucked…. bad…

Since some of the people Mike paid were way back in the early 2000’s… and he now had to claim that as income…. Guess what? That’s right he had to pay the taxes PLUS a fine for each infraction AND interest on that money FOR THE LAST 7 YEARS.

Now the actual money paid out to affiliates that he did not have 1099’s on only totaled a couple hundred thousand dollars but Mike had to write a check to the IRS for back payments, fines, and interest for over 1.5 MILLION dollars…. ZOMG!!!!!!!!!

So what did Mike do wrong? He always paid all his taxes and took proper deductions. He just did not have good paper work and that cost him 1.5 million dollars of his hard earned profits.

Mike told me over a year later he still thinks about it at least once a day what he could have done with that money. Help family and friends… Build a school for children in a 3rd world country…. geez…

But like most bad ass serial entrepreneurs Mike figured out how to turn his experience into an incredible positive.

He created a service that completely prevent people from ever ending up in his shoes. Honestly I can’t believe someone has not thought of this yet.

The website is called Pay People Online and its pretty hot. Right now its 100% free to use.

The way it works is you upload your payment file to it… then if it does not have someones electronically filed 1099 on record it emails them and tells them they need to complete it in order to get paid. Once this is done it lets you know.

For users who use PayPal Mass Payment files (like 99% of us) its even easier. You just upload your mass pay file to it, it then checks to see if it has 1099’s on file and if not emails people and lets them know they need to fill it out to get paid, then spits you back out a payment file for people you DO have 1099’s on.

Slick eh? I really like this site and I think its going to turn out to be worth MUCH more then the 1.5 Million that it cost Mike to have an epiphany about this much needed service.

I say it all the time adversity is opportunity and this is a classic example of just that.
