Why does jasonfladlien.com resolve to Robert Plank’s blog?

Best regards, Gren.

Congratulations on your new blog. We all need to pay attention to the fundamentals, building a solid foundation for lift-off or the next level. CPA is not where most of us belong right now, regardless of the quality of any CPA product.

I’ve watched the rapid rise you and Robert Plank have experienced with interest, admiration, and pride. I’m proud to associate my name with anything you do.

All the best,

Glad you to see you have started a blog. I am adding a comment to give encouragement. I’ve now bought several of your products.

Your observations about the arbitrage conspiracy are interesting. I found their launch a time consuming waste and circus rather than an exciting and involving experience that drew me in. I gave up on it. The concept will be there to exploit in a month or two, or it IS a waste of time.

FYI, David Vallieres is launching a new $47 mini-product on the back of their bungling giving what he believes to be an overview of their approach.

Hi Joe Watson,

This is just a warning to steer far and clear from a promotion
going around the IM industry called The Arbitrage Conspiracy.

I used to be heavily involved in CPA marketing and arbitrage…
This is not an easy business, it used to be extremely profitable
for me. I was making over $200k some months.

I got out of it for a reason … the reason is simple … It’s too
competitive. There are only a “finite” number of products that work
through this strategy and 10 times out of 10, the products that DO
work already have someone running arbitrage so then you have to
compete with that person which lowers your profit margin.

Multiply that times 3 – 5 people and you’re having price wars for
pennies… Not worth the effort anymore. There are tools that you
can use to optimize your performance and locate areas of untapped
opportunity so be prepared for deep research before getting into
arbitrage.

Another issue is that you need a lump sum of cash to finance your
PPC costs for 30 – 60 days before you get paid by the major CPA
networks. Be prepared to have a significant sum of cash on hand to
bankroll your exploration and research. It will likely cost you a
good bit of money to discover areas of opportunity.

NOW … with this guy releasing The Arbitrage Conspiracy it will
make matters worse. More competition, lower profit margins, etc.
When I was making good money with arbitrage back in 2005 – 2007,
nobody knew what I was doing and I didn’t care to tell anyone about
it either. You have to immediately question why a person
“supposedly” making 100k per day would want to ruin it for
themselves for the peanuts they will receive from unsuspecting
IMers. My guess is that they came to the same conclusion I did …
you could probably make more money selling information about
arbitrage than you could practicing it.

Now multiply that times the number of gurus promoting it and you
could get a fair idea of how quickly the release of this material
will ruin the industry.

This is just a heads up…

I found this to be very enlightening.

I have to say how much I appreciate your emails, your ideas and your prowess.

So glad I am part of your list.

Keep up the excellent work.

It is amazing what you see when you look at these launches from a “new” perspective. One thing that I have noticed as an affiliate for a lot of these bigger launches (I was not promoting this particular product) is the repeated lack of responsibility that is taken for problems that occur around and during the launch.

I know that there are a few that I were extremely profitable (for me) that I will not promote in the future just because of that.

Can you give some info on the Poor Man’s Launch product? Is this going to be actual case studies of the launches with analysis (ala the Halbert Swipe videos)?
Mindmaps of each launch/strategy?

I think I need this…
