So Rom, tell us your story....
In 1997, I was pretty much broke after a fallen music career. Actually, my career fell apart in 1995 and I spent two years mowing lawns and being a catering assistant to make ends meet.
I was extremely unhappy with my financial state and I had no idea of where to go or what to do.
All I knew was that I didn’t want to be one of those old school musicians who refused to accept that his - Fifteen Minutes of Fame - had expired.
Though people around me (girlfriend, close friends, music business
associates) encouraged me to continue doing music and producing artist,
I decided that it was no longer the road for me. My heart wasn’t in it anymore.
While at a magazine stand in Hollywood, I came across an add that read “75% of All Men Experience Sexual Dysfunction at Some Point Throughout Their Lives.” This set off a serious light bulb.- it was not the type of light bulb that would win me a Grammy. Nevertheless, I tucked the idea into the back of my mind.
I’d find myself awake and restless well after midnight watching infomercials. It suddenly hit me that these infomercials were some of the most thought out sales pitches on television! So, I began to record them and write them out word for word (didn’t have a computer at the time).
Then, I’d swap out their product name and replace it with my own (fictitious product name). The product I had in mind didn’t exist at the time. One of the infomercials touted of running ads to gauge customer response before actually spending money to create the product.
And I did just that!
I placed an ad in a local paper and my friends turned me onto the Internet News Groups. And before I could say “Dick Products” I had 2 thousand dollars worth of orders and NO PRODUCT to mail out.
So, I purchased the necessary equipment and created the product from scratch.
Along the way I learned so much and I realized that the anonymity the Internet afforded customers was going to make my business huge. The only person doing anything similar at the time was Dr. Kaplan (penis pumps).
Within 3 months I was clearing $27,000/month and still growing. I began traveling and experiencing the world. Due to inexperience, I didn’t know how to protect my intellectual property and pirates began to copy my literature verbatim, posting it onto their own sites.
My graphics were not protected and all of my magazine interviews were copied and pasted onto sites all over the Internet. As a result, my profits were cut in half.
To survive, I found myself using the tools and confidence earned from that business to start other businesses. One of which now grosses well over the $650,000. And the perks are unmentionable. I Kayak fish, relax and read throughout my days, using my time for more creative endeavors. It’s nice to be outside of the Matrix once in a while.
But, being an affiliate for MoreNiche™ is truly a hobby that has inspired me to dig deeper and regain my title as a Male Enhancement Pioneer.
Thanks for your time Rom.
