Bob Baker's The Buzz Factor

If you don't know who Frank Kern is, he's one of those Internet marketing guru types. While many of those guys can be annoying with their incessant email campaigns and product pitches, there's something about Frank I've always admired.

For one, he's a guitar player. And he comes off more as a cool surfer dude than a marketing expert. He's very good at using video to promote his programs, and he has a conversational way with words in his emails -- even poking fun at marketing while in the act of marketing itself.

Here's a recent email he sent -- a classic example of Frank Kern at his cool cat best:

Subject line: "Let's cut the crap here!"

OK listen.

Today's the day that I'm supposed to send you an email telling you that if you don't go to my cleverly disguised affiliate link here:

[I've removed the web address because the offer has expired.]

... And get Perpetual Traffic Machine ... then the world will end and there will be no hope for humanity.

And then I'm supposed to do like everyone else and offer a "killer bonus" (new kidney!) if you buy through my link.

SCREW THAT!

Look, the ugly truth is I haven't even looked at the product. So I have no clue if it's any good.

I think it's probably good ... after all, lots of Ryan's stuff is VERY good.

In fact, I actually swiped the entire structure of my Mass Control and my List Control trainings from what I learned when I was watching Ryan create products.

And Ryan is a member of my primary mastermind group and I regularly call on him for advice. Plus, you've seen the quality of the pre-launch content. That was awesome.

So Perpetual Traffic Machine is most likely awesome.

... But I'm not going to bullshit you and act like I've personally reviewed it ... just so I can make a few bucks.

I haven't. Sorry.

With that said, the best advice I can give you is this:

1. If you *think* it'll help you, you're probably right ... hard to beat good ol' intuition.

2. You can probably get a pretty good bonus if you buy it through someone other than me.

3. If it isn't any good, you can get a refund.

... And considering the fact that 1/2 of the planet is promoting it right now, your inbox probably has plenty of good bonus offers to choose from.

So I don't see how you can go wrong.

Of course, you're welcome to use my blatant affiliate link below so I can make a few bucks.

I promise to squander the money on shiny objects and beer.

Talk soon,
Frank

What I like about this -- besides the humor -- is that it shows that there are many ways to promote. You can always find a way to inject your unique personality into whatever you do.

Hope you enjoyed this. Now go buy something from me! :-)
