Hello fellow humans of all three genders : men, women and virgins (if any).

Today I’ll introduce you again in the world of blog-wrestling – also known as “this is the ass – kick-it or kiss-it”.

Let’s go !

Would you espect from a internet marketer to backslide ? Sure, but to backslide toward his interrests mainly ..
But this guy had done it again and not quite toward his own interest.

What he actually do ?

He manage from long time to keep a balance between building his reputation & authority and being at least usefull for his readers and fans. Without being a second Machiavelli (”to lead peoples, tell them what they want to hear”). No sir, no madam. He speaks what he feel. He point things and explain as he is convinced things are so. Without make’em unbreakable laws, yet ready to support his point with ferm and undoubtfully arguments.

Let’s see what this guy has to say on October 28th, 2005:

Today I decided to bite the bullet and pick up a copy of Blog Submitter Pro (regrettably that’s not even an affiliate link since they’ve temporarily discontinued the affiliate program). I was meaning to buy it a couple months ago, but got really busy with other projects, etc. Boy was that a mistake! Back then, the price was only $149 and I could have bought it from my own affiliate link which would have effectively made the price only $75! I should have heeded the warning at the bottom of the page that said they were going to raise the price. Today I paid $249 for the program. Ouch. It was a tough pill to swallow, knowing I could have had it for $75, but this time I’m heeding their warning because soon the price will be $349. Overall, the investment still makes good sense because I typically spend about double this amount just on paid clicks every day, so if the system brings me some targeted traffic it will be well worth it.

Huh ! Admiting honestly he would had used an affiliate link to promote that script to followers. After all, if one accept otherone’s newsletter or voluntarely keep coming to read the blog, isn’t clear that links may be affiliate links and then actually pushing money in his pocket ? We know and is normal. Why hide ?

However, I leave to you the pleasure to skim his blog.

I offer $100 (a black & white copy, original dollars bill is to expensive for my budget) for anything written on ericstips.com proved to be a lie, a scam or even an attempt cheat. Same reward for any 2 grammar or spelling errors in any of there posts.

Eric Holmlund is NOT a guru. Is a HONEST internet marketer. One of the very few …
