I saw a really funny Tweet last night from a fellow marketer,
pointing to a new product on how to use Twitter.
I thought it was a joke, actually, and at 2 in the morning,
if I get a bad case of the giggles, it's hard to stop…
The Tweet said that he wanted to raise enough money to pay the dowry for his wife
and that he sounded like he came from a Kung Fu movie from the 70's
or something to that effect.
I don't know why this struck me as being so funny,
I guess it struck a tender cord in me
and my only defense is to laugh and joke about it
And my fellow marketer thought I was badly in need of sleep
Anyway,
the creator of the product is Asian and speaks in a heavy accent
He claims that his copy converts extremely well
and that he and his "wife" (are they already married?)
are well-known copywriters.
I had never heard of him or his wife-to-be before.
He started to follow my Tweets,
and since I follow back I received a direct message
(the automated message people send out to thank new followers
you can follow me here: Twitter.com/AngelWickenberg)
His message blew my mind. It stated:
"So that I can be your Twitter Master (link)
Read this & give me your unwavering devotion 
I loved it!
The link led to a great article, that used words that "pressed my buttons".
I read it and felt in tune with his way of describing this use of Twitter
A few hours ago, I was ready to recommend his new course to help him get his dowry
But after a few hours sleep, a nagging feeling has come over me… again…
Why?
I have listened to one module that I have, the course has four modules
and covers not only the basics of Twitter but focuses early on
Mind Control techniques.
When I read that phrase, I immediately think of Frank Kern.
Some writers call it influence or persuasion.
He calls it The Dark Side of Twitter…
without being perceived as a marketing moron
or a spammer for that matter.
But it seems a bit thin in module one
Haven't seen the other modules yet
I went back this morning to check the affiliate information:
My affiliate password basically tells me my age and that I'm a scatterbrain…
I don't know, but why do I feel like this is a prank?
Here's the link to the squeeze
Let me know what you think in a comment or a message.
I'd love to hear from you! And don't forget to follow me !

Yesterday, Rich Schefren did a packed conference call with more than 1,000 people eager to ask him questions about his new product, the GPS Guidance Profit System.
Pick up the free report he wrote a couple of weeks ago on eliminating your constraints here
Just the free report itself is full of good information that anyone could act on right away.
They got A LOT of answers, and a seminar's worth of actionable content, too. The listeners enjoyed it, and because Rich had a good time doing it, he's ready to do another "short" version of Rich-TV on UStream.
It won't be up for 26 hours this time like the last one a week or so ago.
Rich will be giving away a free GPS Program to someone watching live on Ustream.tv, plus giving out even more constraint-busting advice.
It starts at 1:00pm Eastern time, and going for a while. Then they'll be closing down the Guided Profit System to new enrollments.
I got a ton of advice and information out of the 26 hour webinar, so I'm certain this shorter one will also be a great use of your time.
Use this link to go to Rich's Ustream.tv channel at 1:00pm Eastern time on Thursday… Rich-TV GPS Giveaway on Ustream
Ask any question about GPS and eliminating your constraints that you want. And pick up some ideas from the answers to other people's questions.
Then he'll pick one lucky person from the Ustream viewer roster… and give them access to his Guided Profit System Program… absolutely FREE.
See you on Rich-TV.
