I luv ya, Jim, but I'll pass...

> When I first found the 1stepsystem, I simply DID NOT believe it either --

It isn't that I don't believe a lot of people can make a lot of money with this.

It's that I don't like it.

If you order Option A before "midnight tonight," you can save "$409.99" --

Ultimate Marketers Toolbox = $597 (you save $100)
Membership Fee = waived (you save $49.99)
Set Up Fee = $19.97 (you save $20.00)
Monthly Fee = $29.97 (you save $240.00 in a year)

And you become "commissionable" after you make only 2 sales.

Membership Fee = $49.99
Set Up Fee = $39.97
Monthly Fee = $49.97

And it takes 4 sales to become "commissionable."

• Will "midnight tonight" ever come?  I doubt it.
  
  
• How can the product (which, admittedly, looks like an Information Junkie's Dream) be worth $2,647.34 when he's selling it for $597 and giving away all but $97 in commission? 
  
  Answer:  He's making such a bundle on the Membership Fee, the Set Up Fee, AND... (very big AND)... the Monthly Fee that he doesn't have to give a rat's ass about how much he makes on the product.
  
  
• And this is the corker for me:  He allows people to bypass the product completely (Option B), then turn around and sell it when they have never laid eyes on it.

  True, there are bzillions of affiliate products you can sell without actually seeing the product, but they don't charge you $49.97 a month for the privilege of promoting something you know nothing about.

A lot of people without any money (me, f'rinstance) would choose to sign up for Option B because they can't afford Option A, and a lot of those people aren't going to have a *clue* how to promote their beautiful self-replicating websites -- but they'll be "in" for $49.97 a month and Rod will be making his bundle regardless.  (I really have a problem with that monthly fee.)

Of course it's all guaranteed, but "Refund request must be received within 30 days of enrollment date and requested within the Associates Back-Office Support Ticket System."  That's going to eliminate a lot of refunds, because people will keep trying right up to the last minute, then they'll request a refund -- but they won't remember that it had to be done through the "Associates Back-Office Support Ticket System" and they'll be SOL.

Even if they do remember how to get their refund, Rod keeps the Set Up Fee, which makes sense, I guess (NOT), because of the huge expense (NOT) involved in setting up a self-replicating website and entering the required data into the system.

I don't doubt the income claims of the people who gave testimonials -- not for one minute -- but it's going to get harder and harder to make a dime as the net becomes more and more saturated with these self-replicating websites.  Will he tell people that up front a year from now?  (Yeah, right.)

A lot of people will make a bundle of money with this -- no question about it -- but a lot more people are going to pay and pay and PAY, month after month after month, certain their ship will come in when they don't have a *clue* how to start the engine.

Even though I don't have a mailing list yet, I feel certain I could pull myself out of the hole with this program just by promoting the hell out of it here on FIB -- but I can't do it.

I'll probably smack myself in the morning.

I'm permanently scarred from all the mornings I've spent smacking myself.

Luv,
