Has joined the list of Marketing scammers.

Work hard, be nice and you, too, can be a millionaire....that'll be £500 please


Crush It In March 2009, Vaynerchuk signed a 10-book deal with HarperStudio for over $1,000,000 and released the first book, Crush It! Why Now is the Time to Cash in on your Passion, in October 2009. The deal is groundbreaking in the publishing world as one of the first attempts to successfully use a low-advance/high royalty business model.[16] In the first weeks of its release Crush It climbed to #1 on the Amazon Best Seller list for Web Marketing books. It also opened at #2 on the New York Times bestseller list and #7 on the Wall Street Journal Bestseller List.[17]

The book encourages people to determine what truly makes them happy and pursue monetizing around it on the internet. It argues that because of recent social and technological trends the cost of producing content has been driven low enough that passion, knowledge, and effort, which the book calls "sweat equity", are now all one needs to build a brand and business.


Glorified pyramid scamming.

Because the only people proven to have made their fortune after attending seminars or buying books relating to making money are those who re-package the information they have bought and sold it on to others.

Pontac - SA is your area of experience, therefore looking at the vintage characteristics

When or If choosing a Meerlust wine that is currently available now, which of the vintages are superior for a Bordeaux style.
a) 2005 for a trad Medoc claret mix or Merlot dominated right bank.
b) 2006 ditto .......ditto
c) or 2007 for reserve red wines. Rhone styles included.

If in the claret style, there is very little between one vintage and another, just say not worth seeking out a particular year.

Cheers.

That may be so, but it isn't a definition of pyramid selling
