Okay, I already know I’m going to take tons of crap about this – but, as you know I write commentary on the parade as it passes in front of me – and in the last 72 hours some pretty interesting stuff has gone by my spot in the crowd.
1. So, I’m on somebody’s Ustream.TV show and Ross Goldberg is in the chat when I asked if anyone knew what would be a good solution for selling a digital product, paying affiliates fast through paypal, that didn’t require 100% commissions like $7 Secretions, and would integrate with Aweber – so I wouldn’t have to use 1Shopping Cart’s dreadful email autoresponders or put people through the pain of an Amember sign up.
Ross recommended the RAP system – a script that did it all plus more!
I don’t know what to think of this guy because even though he’s such a bizarre crazy character – and he took a HUGE beat down from my “worst advice ever” post before I eve knew him and he came back strong and powerful – took it like a man. (And took it like a marketer, too!)
2. Ross invited me to look at an ebook he was working on where he showed how he gets gobs of great high converting traffic to his niche (non-internet marketing) web sites – and said “take your best shot.”
So I was forced to read it, partly by guilt and partly by curiosoty. I haven’t read anyone on traffic but my usual 3 suspects in a long time – so I figured WTF, live dangerously and load it up and read it.
It is good. Really good. If you want to kick your traffic up about 10 notches – you should check it out.
On a personal note – I’ve been through a bizarre dark night of the soul and have decided to reopen my Mastermind Coaching club – so lemme tidy up the place and I’ll let you know how you, as a reader of my blog and list member, can get in on this cool opportunity – limited to just 20 peeps.
What are you still doing here – go check out Ross’s New Traffic Ebook – or – leave a comment telling me what a sell out whore you think I am – or if you have already read Ross’s book – tell others what you think.
Or you could simply tell us all what your favorite password is – or if you’ve got that peeing in the bed thing handled yet?
Pizza Out,
Rick Butts

This is what a social media conversation should look like. Neither you or I are so unreasonable that a relationship can’t be built out of a harsh conversation.
Thanks for your praise – I appreciate it and the fact that you took the time to read the book.
I know it will help those that pick it up.

Ross Goldbergs last blog post..What makes Traffic Manifesto 2.0 different?
Ahhh gotta love all this love.
I do agree with you though Rick… Ross’ product is actually quite fantastic. And ya’ know, Ross and I have been friends for quite a while so I knew he’d give me the product if I asked, but his salesletter worked and I bought it right away.
Kinda cool for an “old codger” marketer like me to be sold to effectively again
Accolades to you both for sorting things out and advancing together like the mad men you are!

Rick and Ross
Tell me. Did you guys set this up?
Just kidding
Seth Garrisons last blog post..Apture Is One Cool Tool
Hey Seth – what is bizarre is that despite all our natural marketing suspicions – that we are all being played 24/7 – this just happened in a totally organic way.
Funny how stuff works out.
As I’ve mentioned before there are really only 2 people I cannot stand, truly dislike, in Internet marketing.
I can’t help but holler out though, when I see someone say something I think will harm people, or use predatory marketing tactics (false scarcity).
I’m getting some good feedback on Ross’s ebook – and I figure people will how loudly here if they think it sucks.
Bring it on!
Thanks Seth = Rick
Eric –
Thanks for the note about knowing Ross.
We’ve not met – and since I rarely leave Denver, may never actually meet as I have only attended 2 conferences in the last 2 years – but, if I feel something will help my readers – I’m gonna let ya know about it.
Eric Farewell is an OLD CODGER?
Just old in Internet marketing dog years, right?
LOL
Rick Butts
IM years indeed
Counting like a dog I’m friggin’ close to 40
