Starting this summer (when I will be back in Germany), I will be doing more content writing for this blog as I realize that I was probably not doing enough in this regard. Sorry about that. I was quite busy with some other projects and also the coaching thing here on Mauritius.

Rather than deciding on all of the topics for this blog myself, I want you to take part in the process. That"s why I am asking you to submit any burning marketing questions you have or anything that you want to hear more about. Please submit the questions and topics at my helpdesk. What are you problems and stumbling blocks when building your Internet business? What is holding you back? What technical things are you afraid of? You can also have a look at my blog"s categories to find the areas that I can help you with.

Several of these questions will be answered directly as I will pick a few of them and answer them here on my blog. The questions should be directly related to making money online and Internet marketing. Of course, I probably won"t be able to answer them all but the best ones will also be answered in my upcoming Internet marketing ebook (I have completed about 42 pages and I still have a long way to go to get everything into it…).

Last but not least, please also mention if I can use your name together with the post or if you"d like me to keep your details anonymous. Depending on the number of questions I am getting, it can take some time to go through them and answer them. Please be patient.

This time, I am going to review a product that I must warn you from. I purchased Michelle Andrew's "Instant Money Vault" and to say that I was disappointed about the content is still an understatement…

First of all, during my purchase I reloaded the page 2 or 3 times and noted that she offered her product with 2 different price tags - $39.99 and $29. Some days ago, I saw a price of $47. Obviously, she was still split-testing her salesletter. After more than 3 weeks that this product has been on the market, I was thinking that this stage should have been over now (nevertheless split-testing IS a very good thing to do!!). Anyway, I purchased it for $29 and started reading it (she's offering an audio version, too).

And what I read really surprised me: It was the content from a Private Label Ebook by Michael Rasmussen that I had purchased the rights to more than a year ago! "Michelle" has taken that ebook and just added an introduction about some "Instant Affiliate Websites" which you should purchase (they are a bonus for a lot of ebooks related to making money with Google Adwords) through her link (which gives her an instant $20 commission). Of course, it is legitimate to make recommendations for related products. I'm doing that too if suitable.

But…

"She" doesn't even explain what you have to do to make money with these "Instant Affiliate Websites". Yet, she goes on explaining why she's recommending that you upgrade to the PRO version. Of course, the "PRO version" has many more features and some free vouchers for Google Adwords and Yahoo advertising worth $100. Then "she" says "Later I will show you how to turn $100 worth of advertising into $5000 of profit". I still have to find that chapter where she is explaining anything like that…

Why am I putting the "she" in brackets?

Because I found out that this is not a true identity. In reality, this is another website by a guy called "Mark Warren" - founder of the "Ultimate Wealth Package". And surprise, surprise, this "Ultimate Wealth Package" seems to consist of the same business which is selling review sites to people who in turn have to promote them on Google Adwords.

I know, an income like the one in their screenshots can be earned. They are not showing you the whole story, though. Because if you are advertising in such an overcrowded field like Internet marketing, Weight Loss or Forex where you'll find the most profitable products, your Google Adwords costs will be extremely high. You may be lucky if you can break even with your commissions. Most of the times, they are just showing you their income without mentioning anything about their advertising costs…

The kicker was that this package was promoted by Andrew Fox just yesterday:

"Michelle told me some of the tactic's I taught her in my product 'The Guru Slayer' really helped explode her income."

- Yeah, sure….!!

And another statement from Andrew: "I've just reviewed it and there are *DEFINITELY* some gold nuggets inside this one… "

- Mmmmmhh, I wonder where he had seen those "gold nuggets"… Maybe, I need a better shovel…

The testimonials and screenshots are most likely from Mark Warren himself who is making good money with his "Ultimate Wealth Package". To me, this a try from him to extend his reach as probably not enough people are still promoting his Ultimate Wealth Package. Because in the Internet marketing field, the attention span for new products is not very long. If something is on the market for more than 3 months, it's considered "old hat" already even if it's a phenomenal product. Sad, but true…!

So my recommendation is to stay away from this product. You won't find any new "insider secrets" in that "Instant Money Vault" - just a bunch of "old" Private Label Ebooks and even the main product is a relabeled Private Label Internet Marketing Ebook. Compliments for the salesletter, though. It really sucks people in and newbies are very likely to make a purchase.

If you want a good product which will explain all the Internet marketing basics to you then I'd rather recommend Holly Mann's ebook called "Honest Riches" which I had reviewed some time ago.

Let me know what you think of my review by making a comment on this post.
