I've seen him do deals with first class flights, Hotel rooms covered plus 3 months of really good money to promote something. I know for a fact that he makes more in one month promoting ( mostly by posting) then most part timers in the biz make in a year.
The bottom line is that people think he posts a bunch of BS but he gets results. people get a real return on what they pay him or they wouldn't sign 6 month and one year contracts for upper 4 figures a month with him.
There's only two reasons i attended this show last year. One is Juicy and the other is Steve Bugbee. they both asked me to attend and i gave it a shot. it was a great show and I'll be there this year to see how it evolved . I like both parties involved Juicy and Xbiz .. I'll give an honest report on my return  |
That's all fine and dandy but I come from mainstream. We worry about profitability, not popularity. Someone wants to pay outrageous fees for what is like a robot posting on a message board, that's fine. It's not my business. I just don't want to do business with them. That's an unknown variable.
If anyone we do business with cave's because of someone who has a 100,000 plus posts on a message board, the traffic is gone. You don't do business with people like that. You can't rely on them. They're relying on exposure or the whims of someone who lives on a message board, not numbers.
I don't care about self proclaimed internet celebrities or them getting comp's for their friends. I care about margins. I'm sorry, that's business.
That is nothing personal against you.
Take care,
