Brand Carolyn Lee Boyd a fool, but the New England author adamantly refuses to charge anything for the download of her new ebook, citing reasons of both practicality and uncontrollable uppity integrity. Real News sat down with this frankly stubborn and “slightly” bizarre woman and had the following totally unbelievable conversation:

That post has been getting quite a few comments along the lines of:

you’re an idiot, I can clearly see that Text Link Ads is first in the Google SERPs when searching for text link ads.

Most affiliates understand affiliate marketing, it’s pretty simple. An affiliate is simply a commission-only salesperson. They get paid a percentage of the sale or a certain dollar amount per lead. (Even Wikipedia knows this!)

Sometimes there are multiple tiers of payments depending on volume, possible bonus commissions, lifetime cookies, recurring commissions, and sometimes a second level where you get paid for referring more affiliates. But those are just icing on the cake.

Armed only with the scant knowledge of quantum physics that one can take in by skimming the texts of Deepak Chopra, high-energy time management coach Sally Squireton has caused damage to the space-time continuum, NASA officials say.

Squireton, also an amateur alchemist shaman, says she was only trying to help her clients - many of whom say there simply aren’t enough hours in a day to accomplish everything on their to-do lists.

“This is an extremely willful and selfish individual,” NASA spokesperson Remy Hodge said of Squireton. “There are laws that don’t even exist yet that she blatantly disregarded.”

You may remember Internet guru Wendy Wolinsky (”Make ‘Em Your Captive Audience!”) from the old days — living in lavish condos on idyllic beaches and showing off her impressive bank statements at Captive Audience Bootcamp. Well, that was so last year. Today Wendy is an everyday resident of the remote Podunkius, Washington where she is surrounded by the circular walls of her modest yurt and spends her time listening to the blissful bleats of the baby goats she now raises. What happened?

This reporter had a chat with Wolinsky over a lukewarm cup of fermented goat’s milk, a natural hallucinogen [...] Continue Reading…
