Income.com Is Changing Its Name | ||

|
After a lot of careful consideration, even before Income.com gets fully launched, we’ve decided to change the company name. This is for many reasons. 1. ”Income.com” no longer fits the business model we’ve involved into. (I’ll explain the business model in a moment.) 2. Domain names are becoming irrelevant. It’s only a matter of time before all URLs are truncated into some sort of short redirect. (As is happening on Twitter with tinyurl.com.) Our plans for Income.com were originally to build a massive media company that would be part education portal for starting & growing an online business, and part social community to connect entrepreneurs and marketers. But those plans have changed… After analyzing a lot of data during the past few months I’ve come to the conclusion that all the real money is in Pass-Along Marketing via email. Every get ‘pass along’ emails from friends and family? You know the ones, where they forward you (and tons of other people) jokes, news stories, videos, etc.? Or the crazy viral effect that happens on Facebook when all of your friends send you new app requests or other pass-along things that show up in your newsfeed? This is essentially Pass-Along Marketing and it’s only to get BIGGER. Because of this, I have decided to evolve the direction of the company to take full advantage of it. We have invented some amazing technology that will allow anyone to create an account that connects them with tons of affiliate program offers that they will earn money from. Then the system ties these offers into carefully ‘disguised’ pass-along emails that they can send to friends & family. These emails also contain powerful tracking URLs so the ‘pass-along’ path can be fully tracked; even through multiple generations of one person passing it to another. Members in our new system will be able to earn override commissions on a multi-tier person-to-person ‘triangle’ shaped structure. It’s VERY powerful.
So if you pass something along to your parents, for example, and they then end up passing it along to others, the affiliate commissions compound. AND… It gets even better. If someone you pass something along to ends up joining the program as a member themselves, you’ll earn a percentage of all of their pass along activity. So your income will only explode through the pass-along effect. We’ll Be Starting Pre-Launch Very Soon - Don’t Wait To Sign-Up! I expect this opportunity to take the Internet by storm. Because now people can make money from annoying others with pass-along emails and Facebook requests. This is a MAJOR breakthrough. So Income.com Is Changing Its Name… The new company name is Spamway. Get in before its too late.

April 1st, 2009 at 9:24 am
Nice one John! HAHA
April 1st, 2009 at 9:25 am
Can we have chips and spam with that, with a side order of spam to go please
Programmed using a real python.
April 1st, 2009 at 9:26 am
Hilarious John. I didn’t realize you had a sense of humor.
April 1st, 2009 at 9:27 am
John,
I CANNOT believe you even managed to get me to read past the first paragraph,… but you did! ;0)
Cheers,
Pete

I’m sorry, but you’re a bit late to the party. I got in on this YEARS ago when Bill Gates sent me a check for $100 for simply forwarding an email to all of my friends!
Since then, through a sophisticated system of testing and tracking, I’ve been able to leverage that original $100 into $101.
But good luck with your little triangle deal! Hope it works out better than that “Traffic Secrets” thing or whatever it was.
April 1st, 2009 at 9:33 am
You got me there in the first 90%.
well done!
April 1st, 2009 at 9:34 am
I’ll take the lousy domain Income.com off your hands as a favor before it’s worthless
HA! Well done John.
Say, can I enlist, er, um, I mean, share it in church?
“Spamway- why shouldn’t your kids be customers?”
April 1st, 2009 at 9:36 am
Happy April Fools Day to you, too.
April 1st, 2009 at 9:39 am
When I noticed your tweet I thoughts times must be hard and that you decided to sell the domain haha
Happy AF

SpamWay.com - YOUR junk post superhighway.
April 1st, 2009 at 10:02 am
This is the stupidest idea I ever heard. I can’t believe you are creating a company that will create more spam. Does the world need this kind of thing?
I hope you will reconsider this idea and put your brain to more constructive uses.

John,
When I saw your tweet,I almost thought you were serious until I got here.Nice April 1
Joke.It’s just like the one I just read at http://deanhunt.com/internet-marketing-fake
For once,I laughed out loud.
April 1st, 2009 at 10:08 am
Can somebody PLEASE get this hook out of my mouth?!?
You got me.
April 1st, 2009 at 10:38 am
Damn! You got me. Had me until I saw spamaway.
April 1st, 2009 at 10:42 am
I was all ready to whip out my credit card and ride off into the sunset with you until I saw the opportunity killer - Spamway- You ‘olde’ devil you…
April 1st, 2009 at 11:25 am
I think it’s awesome that you actually made or had graphics made for this post . . . Details.
April 1st, 2009 at 12:48 pm
Nice joke John
But the real April Fools joke here should be the Income.com launch. You’ve been talking about it all the way back to the very first few issues of Reese Report, and I saw the replies of your paid subscribers… giving them false hopes about releasing a service whose day will never come, constantly making plans… then changing them and giving tired old excuses as to why. (e.g. I’ve got an even better idea now than I did before… just you wait and see, guys! It’ll be awesome!”)
Then, to the surprise of no one, nothing.
And then on Twitter, most of your posts are just you basically wasting a bunch of time, going off to Spain to run with the bulls and whatever else you were doing while Income.com sits back, collecting virtual dust.
What I think is that you’ve made so much money with your personal VRE Empire stuff that you really don’t care too much about producing anything else. The only reason you make a new blog post or update to an old product every now and then is so fickle customers won’t forget you. So you’ll maintain a semblance of relevance.

spamway good one looooooool
so when income is coming live ? 
April 1st, 2009 at 2:10 pm
Everyone is doing this April Fools blog thing. Shoemoney is doing his right now. People actually believe he is moving to portland. Their really mad at him. It’s entertainment. Soon as I saw the Income.com logo crossed out, I already knew.
April 1st, 2009 at 2:39 pm
You had me until “Income.com Is Changing Its Name”
April 1st, 2009 at 3:36 pm
Had me sorta convinced until the spamway name…haha good one.
April 1st, 2009 at 3:48 pm
Bernie Madoff, move over. There’s a new game in town.
April 1st, 2009 at 4:44 pm
Hate to admit it but you had me all the way to the end.
April 1st, 2009 at 4:44 pm
lol. u were very convincing. I believed every word up until spamway. I haven’t fell for an April fools joke in a long time, but u got me this time.
April 1st, 2009 at 4:55 pm
Followed link to this post from a tweet from Ed Dale.
Had me going until I started reading through your post. As I started reading I found it hard to believe that ‘domain names are becoming irrelevant’ and then read you were going to change everything you’ve been working towards for so long after ‘analyzing a lot of data during the past few months’ … and then that crazy domain name. Have you gone nuts?
April 1st, 2009 at 7:11 pm
You made my head ache a little bucko!
Thank god you spamwayed the end else
I’d've had a sleepless night.
Nicely written John
Thanks
April 1st, 2009 at 8:00 pm
LOL - I was reading this post in my feed reader and got to spamway and almost died laughing. I had to click through and comment!!
Happy April Fools Day!!
April 1st, 2009 at 8:53 pm
Hehe! Maybe we can develop some apps so that we can take the twitter “follow me and I’ll follow you” thing into a kind of “I’ll spamway you / you spamway me thing!”
April 2nd, 2009 at 12:26 am
This is one of the best April fools post I’ve read. Good one!
April 2nd, 2009 at 10:09 am
Funny! You write so well that you could probably convince people of anything. No wonder people fell for the spoof. Love it!
April 2nd, 2009 at 11:07 am
LOL! That was cute! …, actually you made so very good points, in the post, in spite of it being a joke. Food for thought, so to speak….

Hi, John - a good joke - except for the fact that the domain exists (was registered in 2004) and runs till 2010 …. hmm, a great opportunity missed LOL

Hey John,
really a nice one
Got doubtful about the “pass along” thing and incredulous at the triangle (pyramid) scheme.
Well crafted.
April 5th, 2009 at 4:30 am
John. I think you spend too much time on Twitter and you don’t make any sense anymore. Social traffic is hard to impossible to convert to sales and you want people to spam their friends and family with affiliate offers??
You’re losing it man. Stick to sales through JVs - that’s what you do best.
April 5th, 2009 at 4:32 am
Good one, John
April 9th, 2009 at 11:41 am
John,
Nice one…but Income.com has quite frankly been a disappointing wait dude.
I understand that things happen in business…but come on? Really? A technical set back that takes over a year to recover from?
If that’s the case, you should issue a pdf that explains what can happen to the best laid plans, causing significant delays…so we all can learn from it.
Not expecting something like that to be free, but it would pose an interesting lesson.
April 12th, 2009 at 7:59 pm
Dude - you fucking totally got me! April 1 was a while back, and ironically, I had just read this post from almost two years ago: http://www.income.com/blog/2007/06/09/i-would-like-to-disclose-my-disclosure/
and I’m like, WTF? Right up to the end, you had me. Nice job!
May 3rd, 2009 at 9:38 pm
Interesting article. Were did you got all the information from…
May 7th, 2009 at 6:08 pm
The fun was spoilt. I heard that this was a April Fool’s joke before I even read it. Kind of ruined the fun. Wonder if I would have picked up on it??

A little boy often heard thumping noises from his parent’s bedroom. One night, he crept from his bedroom and peeked into his parents bedroom and saw his mom on top of his dad.
The next day he told his mom what he saw and wanted to know what she was doing on top of his dad. His mother was shocked and embarrassed at the same time. She tried to make it look very casual.
She said, “Oh, your daddy is too fat, so I was trying to slim him down.”
The boy then immediately replied, “It’s no use because the lady next door comes around when you’re not in to blow him up again.”
