Bjorn Says

Thanks, Bjorn. Good to know. I was thinking about these ebooks, but there’s no need to now.

Yeah i totally agree with you .
Another thing about this guy that really pisses me off is
once you get on his list it is impossible to unsubscribe.

Bjorn, I do not recall how I found your service, but it is great! I remember this guy’s offer of these books a long time ago too. I stopped trusting him some time ago. We don’t get much help like you give - everyone says everything for sale is great! Keep it up, we need you!

Hi Bjorn,

I have to agree as well.

Cody is the guru of recycling products to the masses.

Sure he might be making a penny, but at what cost?

I know many of the Big names on the Internet and it’s no surprise that not many of them like what Cody is doing to the reputation of Internet Marketers.

I feel sorry for the “newbies” and try to write as much as possible to steer them away from the crap (which I fell into a few times when I was learning).

It’s great to see a growing number of people like yourself who are taking it upon themselves to help inform the masses.

Keep up the great work and have a fantastic day.

Well, I agreed. The trouble is a lot of these people are doing it. Even the ‘new’ stuffs are recycled. Every time I bought a PLR (from the WSO) I kick myself and promise not to buy anymore.

That will be my New Years resolution, only if I can keep it. ???

Hi, Bjorn !

Ever get that project done that we discussed ages ago ? :o)

Re: this post - - wasn’t it Cody a while back who even tried to “sell” movies or something that could be “freely” downloaded from another site ?

This guy’s a pip. He got a good idea or two “way back” and has been clutching at straws ever since.

When will the gullibility quotient with people on his list ever diminish ?

As far as unsubscribing: go to one of his sites and look for a way… write to him… and, if all else fails, report him to the spam cops (your isp, mail service, et al).

Thanks for stepping up to the plate, Bjorn, and telling it like it is :o)

Please, I couldn’t stand this guy’s spam. At first, I thought he was like 22 years old and didn’t know better. I figured her was just anxious and didn’t know better.

But when I found her was forty plus years old, I was pissed! I thought, “You are #$%& idiot marketing to me like that!” I would get sometimes, five messages from him on one day!

Plus they were stupid. How stupid? This guy would send me emails about his stuff three months after I unsubscribed. He reminded me of another guy years ago named, Armin Morin. Remember him and his garbage software? Then he would try and sell you on “Come take a cruise with me for $3,000?” How gay!

Coya, a real wanna be IM. An absolute spammer. Products brought to you by, “It’s easy to fool people with digital garbage. But we call them Info products, so people won’t know the difference.”

Stupid man all the way to the bank on the backs of innocent newbies. “You’re my hero Coya! Can you sign my hard drive?” Not!

Cody Moya? Not in the race. King of the Recyclers is definitely “Manila Ian”.

By Ross on Dec 7, 2007

Hey Bjorn!
It simply amazes me how much some of the “so called” GOOROOS will stoop to try and take advantage of the newbies out there!
Good to see you have been keeping yourself out of trouble ! Your blog has some excellent info for everyone! Mind if I include the Feed on my Apsense iChannel?

By Mark Hultgren on Dec 8, 2007

Hmmm, everyone seems to be looking at this from one side. I grant it’s true that much of Cody’s materials and products are recycled… however, because of it, he’s among marketing greats as Liz Tomey and others who are highly respected and teaches how to do the same thing.

For instance, a mechanic writes a report back in 1990 on how to do a tune-up on your car yourself. You come along in 2007, take the same information, give it a new title, cover, and do a little up-dating and are able to make a killing selling it… wouldn’t that be considered great marketing?

There is information written over 70 years ago that is still useful and beneficial to people today. For instance… “how to recognize, prevent, and treat horse colic”… is information found in the public domain written over 70 years ago, but millions of people will buy it today and benefit from it if presented to them.

Considering there are hundreds of thousands of new faces hitting the internet monthly whom haven’t seen most of the information when it was first issued… those new faces will, and are purchasing those “recycled” products and getting some value and benefits out of it.

The same thing is done in the offline world. We all know who originated the automobile, but it’s chevrolet, and others who are making more money off of it than the originator of the automobile by recycling it with new covers, doors, engines, etc…

How many of us trying to market something “new” are making the kind of money Cody is making by “recycling”? Considering the amount of subscribers to all of his memberships, and repeat buyers he gets… there are many many thousands of people receiving value and benefits from what he offers.

I’m not persoanally a great lover or admirer of Cody or anyone else online as far as that matters… however, I do give some credit where credit is due when viewing things from all aspects.

Okay Bjorn:

Well I haven’t seen the products referred to, but I still say it’s marketing ingenuity when you can convince people to pay dollars for the same identical thing that everyone else is selling for pennies.

For instance, I have been to a major retailer(target), purchased an item at their price, then saw the same identical item in a “Dollar Store” the same day. The consumer side of me was pissed, but the business and marketing side of me had to admire what happened.

First on my part, I failed to check around. However, on Target’s part, they presented it to me in a different way. Though I could have gotten the item for many dollars less at the “Dollar Store”… I still got the value and benefit from it which I paid.

I learned a great marketing lesson back in the 80s from a guy when I was involved in mailorder. He wrote an ad I responded to which offered a free brand new(not refurbished) latex binding system for securing loose documents. All one had to do was pay shipping and handling.

Do you know what I received? A rubber band! Yep, you heard right, a friggin rubber band. Initially, I was pissed to the highest level of pisstivity( is that a word?). Noone could file a complaint against the guy and get a refund because everyone received exactly what was described, and it did exactly what he said it would do. Rubber is latex! A rubber band binds! So everyone that ordered received as advertised, a latex document binding system.

I a report the guy included, it stated that I’d just been introduced to a new marketing strategy that worked. And work it did because me and everyone else that ordered were living proof of that. The report was very eye-opening and it was a great lesson in ingenious marketing which has served me well over the years.

So, I still tend to attribute what Cody, Liz Tomey, Yanik Silver, David Vallaries, and so many others are doing with PLR, and public domain stuff as great marketing. And they’ve all been around for awhile, and probably will be for a long time to come… doing what they’re doing.

Would I buy something from someone if I know I can get the same identical thing cheaper from somewhere else? NO! Would it be devalued because I paid less for it, but received the same benefit? NO!

Hey, that’s just my take on it from a marketing bird’s eye view.

By Terry on Dec 18, 2007

Hiya Bjorn,

Don’t mean to beat a dead horse here, but since you went into more details on certain points about the products offered, and how they are presented along with claims… well I would have to question the tactics myself.

As I mentioned before, I have not seen the products in question, and I was commenting from a smart marketer’s view of how to successfully sell products which you aren’t the originator of.

Claiming exclusive rights on original material that’s old as the hills, and forbidding you to sell them if you cancel subscription… wow, what kind of subscription did you have… the mafia gold club?

Oh well, I’ve been informed. Thanks for publishing my comments and the feedback, and keep doing what you’re comfortable with and what works for you.

Until another time, be well and prosper.

How do you bounce his mails - by blacklisting (know the term, but have never tried!) I admit, it’s quite a job deleting his mails. His membership terms for such trash leaves a bad taste. I lost the price of one month’s subscription and “his” products still unused. But knowing from here that it’s not really “his”, I’ll see what I can do with it.

Thanks Bjorn and Terry for an interesting insight. I learned something here from the Bjorn/Terry exchange.

Keep up the good work Bjorn and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone!
