Well, and sorry for the double post, but I found out EXACTLY what is going on here through this page http://www.ecommerceconfidential.com/Blog/index.php?p=47

Here's the relevant quotes.

Quote:
In case you haven't seen it, Pat pulled off quite a coup last week. He sold nearly 1000 copies of a book he didn't even write.

How did he do it?

Pat took advantage of US law that allows anyone to publish books available in the public domain.

While browsing through an antiques store one day, Pat came across a stack of old self-help magazines from the early 1920's. Fascinated by what he read and discovering Pelmanism was in the public domain, he purchased a stack of them for just a few bucks.

He discovered several full-page ads for a type of self-improvement course called Pelmanism. After a quick
search on eBay, he found and purchased a collection of all 12 Pelmanism books for just a few dollars.

He then spent four or five hours scanning the books into Microsoft Word and wrote an online sales letter that incorporated the original Pelmanism ads.

When Pat and Joe Vitale announced the Pelmanism books to their mailing lists, they were astonished at the results.

They thought they might sell a couple hundred at most. Instead that ebook continues to bring in orders with no end in sight.


OH MY GOD Shocked

That site is like a terrorist handbook for spammers and other internet pest. Bin Laden would have been proud

Most likely unrelated to the extreme, but the PelmanismOnline linked with it. I'm rolling in scam induced laughter.

Other than that, I'm permanently attaching myself to this one, even though I'm terrible at keeping secrets.

 		what is the secret
The secret is......YOU AND YOUR BELIEF IN YOURSELF... THINK about it this way...your mind can conceive and formulate ideas in the blink of an eye..most people do this but THINK nothing of it..everyone has the potential inside themselves to achieve most things they can imagine...the question is...why dont they get the same results as succesfull people..? because they lack self belief..how difficult can it be to think positive? very very dificult in some cases...after all its only THINKING

 		My brother just hit me with a invitation to join the mailing list. He's big into marketing, persuasion, and NLP material. I expect it has something to do with those.

Here is the second clue to The Secret.

A new trailer of The Secret has been created and you are the first to see it! The new trailer contains a big clue to The Secret plus some huge news!

Every person you continue to introduce to The Secret via www.whatisthesecret.tv begins another amazing chain that is lighting up the world with news of The Secret. Most important of all, you are setting into motion the power of The Secret for your own life.

Experience the thrill of The New Secret Trailer and access the clue at: http://whatisthesecret.tv/newera/

You will need to have a keen sense to uncover the clue in the trailer!

Thank you for playing such a monumental part in The Secret, as it lights up the world.

You are on the eve of a new era in mankind!


The Secret Scrolls Team.



And I might be dumb, but I don't see a 'kloo' in the new trailer. Unless the Feb. 15 air date requires the keen sense of eyesight to see.

 		If you listen carefully towards the end of the trailer you can hear a womans voice whispering something about a secret. Sounds like a french woman whispering german. Am only listening through headphones so can't hear what (i think) the woman is saying. The email message sai:


"You will need to have a keen sense to uncover the clue in the trailer!"

maybe it meant sound clue rather than a visual clue?
