Well hell, I'm right out in the open with what I do for a living. Have been since 1997.
Our tgp business made millions and millions of dollars and was there for everybody to see.
But guess what? Nobody could make the kind of money we did. lol
I can show everybody on this board how to play the exact notes that Eddie Van Halen does on a Van Halen song.
And you still won't be able to play as good as Eddie Van Halen. 
Sometimes I think that a LOT of guys on here who bust into threads, make a comment or two but seem to have no connection to the business are just that...guys who aren't in the business. |
I don't know if you are talking about me as "one of the guys who busted into this thread" but I was one of them. So if you think I have no connection to this business and not in the business, then you are not as smart as people give you credit for. I've generated over 100K+ credit card sales personally so I would think I am at least "connect to the business" . The reason why I do question some people is because l do know what it takes to make money. Most people who don't or haven't will just reply, WOW great stats. But the people who ask questions are always "haters"
As far as if you can do something better than other people , they can copy you all day and it wont matter.... People can copy you but if they don't have the traffic, and they can't evolve as you do, then sure it doesn't matter if they copy you or not, they wont be as good as you. Not to mention the shear nature of the fact that someone COPYING you is already 10 steps behind you, they copying what you were working on a year ago, while you are about to release something new. They will always be behind.
What we are talking about in this thread is copying someone's traffic source and the company they are sending the traffic to. It doesn't leave much to the imagination. If I knew for sure this guy was telling the truth, and I knew for sure he was really doing it from tgps I would go drop 100K and buy banner ads and tgp spots and advertise getiton. How much better can his banners or galleries be? (he is probably using sponsored supplied stuff anyway) So lets say his banners and gals are a lot better then mine and I only make a 30% return instead of a 75%.... i'll take that. I just don't believe what is being posted here enough to go spend the money to try it.
