Negative advertising programs give us all a bad name and these people should be banned... I am not a fan of using shock tactics to get people to pay attention to my writing. The writing should speak for itself. I agree, way to go John!

The principles of e-commerce, SEO, etc. are very well known, relatively immutable, and widely published. That's why I say "There are no secrets." If you bought the wrong book about SEO, I'm sorry. That's what browsing a book first is intended to prevent. I just checked, and almost every book on SEO at Amazon.com has the "Search Me" feature turned on. Try that next time. Or, you can send John Reese's kids to Harvard instead of your own. I disagree. The principles of e-commerce, SEO, etc. are very well known, relatively immutable, and widely published.

I've been marketing online for about 3 yrs (and making a dismal income,b ut it's been loads of fun), and John Reese really is one of the 5 or 6 gurus with a "my word is my bond" reputation, in my eyes. I agree with you re the strength of his brand. My reference to not having JVs was more along the lines of not having the usual bonus-wars and "deluge of emails from everyone with a list" kind of JVing. This campaign seemed more along the lines of "I'm a friend and/or student of John Reese, so let me tell you what he's doing..." An interesting approach. Actually, it's the opposite of that saying "if people spoke to you like they marketed to you, you'd punch them in the face," right? (I think Rich Schefren uses that). I like it. Mr. Reese wasn't punching anybody in the face - more like patting them on the back. Good luck. Rick Carter Jeff,

Personally, I think the smartest, most up-to-date guys in this business won't waste their time with printed books because they can make more money and get more up-to-date info out quicker through electronic media. Quibble with the word "secret" if you must, but there is plenty of information out there that is not on amazon or the bookstore. Also - I remember recently going into one of the big box book stores and looking around the internet marketing section. Picked up a book on SEO. It was listing and explaining techniques for search engines that weren't even around any more. So buyer beware everywhere. That's good advice. Implying that John's course is in the fraud category is just plain wrong.

You said no JVs with big names, but I saw a deluge of big names promoting this, so I certainly wouldn't call the JV aspect low key. John is in a pretty unique position to do a launch differently because of his incredibly strong brand. I don't think many others would pull off a launch like this.

So I am wondering if this new "low key" approach is going to become the norm, and whether this was as successfuil as some of the other big launches recently. AND it is impressive that Mr. Reese is monitoring how his product is being marketed.
