Received Almost 20 Times

I have several email addresses and this morning received my 19th copy of this email:

"Hey there,

Are you ready to skyrocket your online business with premium content?

Look no further!

I am thrilled to introduce you to this amazing bundle: 410+ PLR Kids Stories complete with their covers, ready for you to sell on popular platforms like Amazon Kindle, eBay, Etsy, and more!"

It goes on to say

"Ready-to-Sell Content: Say goodbye to content creation headaches. With over 410 kids stories at your fingertips, you can start selling immediately without any hassle.

Professional Covers Included: Impress your customers with eye-catching covers that grab attention and boost sales. Each story comes with its own professionally designed cover, saving you time and money.

Multiple Selling Platforms: Whether you prefer Amazon Kindle, eBay, Etsy, or other platforms, these PLR kids stories are versatile and can be sold wherever your audience hangs out.

Endless Profit Potential: With a diverse range of stories covering various themes and topics, there's something for every reader. Tap into the evergreen market of children's literature and watch your profits grow.

Complete PLR Rights: You have full ownership and control over these stories. Customize them, rebrand them, or sell them as they are โ€“ the choice is yours."

Plus there are 5 additional bonuses and the email ends with the assurance that I can "start earning passive income!"

But What's the Cost?

Well, with the coupon kindly provided in the email, it's $8.99 (a saving of 95%).

Interestingly, on the order page "unique" is miss-spelt as "unqiue". If they can't even get that right ...

Of course, the $8.99 is just a hook to get you in. The product is marketed on Warrior Plus, so I logged into my account to check the funnel map.

There are no fewer than five upsells, with some having their own "VIP" upsell, for a total funnel value of $234.49.

Shiny Pebble Syndrome

I haven't written about shiny pebble syndrome for a while, but this one was such a blatant example, I felt the need to share it.

Maybe you've received this one, or something similar.

Do you think Amazon will notice if a thousand people all submit the same 410 kids' stories at the same time?

Do you understand that all will be rejected?

Unfortunately, many people desperate to make an online living, fall for this type of shiny pebble.

Even more unfortunately, when it doesn't work, they move onto the next one.

But some are more subtle than others. Make sure you don't fall for one.

Put the work and learning curve into building your own affiliate marketing business. It's what will pay off in the long term.

Phil,

Thanks for the excellent post! As a shiny pebble lover, who also has a fascination with squirrels, I tend to notice these things and seek after them. Well, at least I used to. I have a drawer full of shiny pebbles and an empty wallet.

Wealthy Affiliate is the item that stands on top, not a pebble, but a solid rock of information and tools and a community that supports the efforts of each other.

Have a great day!

Most of us go through the shiny pebble stage, Karin.

Hi Phil, I always delete any emails of that nature. Have a great day.

So do I, but when I received the 19th (20 now!) I thought it was worth blogging about.

I used to fall for those types of emails before joining WA. All the best.

Lots of people do. One of my websites is devoted to warning others about scam emails, with lots of examples.

Not unique after all lol. Thanks for sharing

Just about the opposite!

They're playing with emotions, too :) It's a dangerous kiddy game... I know you're brilliant at pinpointing misspellings. You scrutinize remarkably.

I don't have to scrutinize, Abie. They leap out at me.

You are a likable person, lol.

Aw shucks ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜.

Lolololol You are ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Thereโ€™s a sucker born every minute, Phil! Lol ๐Ÿ˜Ž

From a population desperate to believe, Frank.

Haha, true, Phil! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

It's how products that will never work nonetheless get sold to many hopefuls.

Yup
