In october 2006 I decided I’d had enough.
I’d had enough of working for other people and making them the kind of money I could only dream about.
I’d had enough of people looking over my shoulders constantly to ensure they squeezed every drop of blood for the pittance they paid me… even though I worked my butt off.
In fact, in one job my manager actually told me if all the other guys together did half as much work as I did by myself, he’d be a happy bunny. There were eight other people in the team.
Did that satisfy the bosses of the company?
Does spiderman really exist? (Okay, I only used that because I’m a die-hard comic book fan. But you know what I mean).
Anyway, in October 2006 I decided I was going to be self-employed. I was going my own way.
So I called up the relevant government department and told them so.
And I’ve been self-employed ever since.
Although I think the term self ‘unemployed’ would be more suitable.
You see, I tried to learn how to make money on the internet. I bought one course after another.
Each time the promise was:
- I had to spend money to make money
- “Our course is the best one. And you’ll definitely make money with it”
Three years and about $50,000.00 later (no typo), all I had to show for myself was a huge debt, with no ability to pay it back.
I was desperate.
Then, in October 2008 Drayton Bird held his first course in Direct and Digital Marketing through EADIM (European Academy of Direct and Interactive Marketing).
The cost was 3,000 Euros. I couldn’t afford it.
So I ended up wasting more money trying to learn more stuff that was no good And getting even deeper in debt on my credit cards.
(funny how we can’t afford to pay for something sensible, but can afford to get even more in debt, huh?).
Then in August 2009 I decided enough really was enough.
I borrowed the money from my brother and enrolled on that year’s EADIM course.
Was it worth it?
It was the single best investment I’ve made in all these years of struggling.
In fact, I made back my investment at least 5 times since. And more.
I was so enthusiastic about this course that Drayton Bird himself sent me an email and offered me the chance to work with him.
The result?
Check out this site: www.directmarketingcourse.com
That’s my handiwork.
This is what Ross Bowring, a fellow copywriter on the Warrior Forum, said of the copy on this site…
“Rezbi… Bravo! And I’ve never said “Bravo” to anyone before (!) That’s a very nicely written letter. Skillfully communicates benefits with no hype whatsoever. Read the whole thing. Never usually do that. Mightily impressed.”
And this is what Drayton said of the same…
Enthusiasm without knowledge is useless. Rezbi is one of those rare and valuable people – a genuine enthusiast who studies. He was hugely valuable to me in working on the promotion for EADIM. The (very complex) landing page is a good example of his work, a great joint effort!
All I can say is this – I got the opportunity to work on this, and on others, as a direct result of going on that course last year. It is, in my opinion, the best course on direct and digital marketing that exists today.
And, if ANYONE is really serious about their career, online or offline – no matter which industry they are in – they would be jumping to get on this course.
Now my question is: How serious are you?
Don’t waste any more time or money. Get on this course and – finally – start making a success of your business and career.
If nothing else, at least go and check out the site to see how much I’ve accomplished as a result of doing this course. And how much you could, too: www.directmarketingcourse.com

Put on your thinking cap for just a moment. What do these have in common…
- A “perfect game” in baseball
- Doppelgangers
- Haley’s comet sighting
- Your “soul mate”
- The Hope Diamond
Even if you know nothing about the first four, hopefully that last one was a giveaway.
These are all rarities, right?
These are things which don’t come around very often. They are unusual and, because of that characteristic, are considered quite valuable.
Everyone once in a while something comes along that is added to the list of “rarities”.
The one I want to tell you about today happens, well, once every TEN YEARS.
It was ten years ago this month, August 2000, that Jimmy D. Brown started his first successful internet business which launched his “career” as a full-time internet marketer.
Profits Vault became one of the most popular early IM membership sites and was an active part of his business until he closed it down last year.
Today he’s reopening it to celebrate his TEN YEAR anniversary!
He’s put together a package of products, reports, mini-courses, and articles that are mostly UNRELEASED content that he’s either personally written or co-written. All of these come with full PLR (private label rights) licenses!
Get the details at http://directanddigitalmarketing.com/profitsvault.html
If anyone knows about private label rights content, it’s Jimmy. He didn’t create the autoresponder. And he didn’t write the first salesletter. And he didn’t create the first popup. He didn’t do a lot of the things that have become common to internet marketers.
But he DID start the PLR (private label rights) market back in 2003 and he DID launch the first successful PLR membership site in that same year.
He knows about PLR content!
During the past seven years since he launched “Products In The Rough” which expanded into Nicheology, there has been a flood of “PLR” materials hitting the web on just about every topic imaginable.
He classifies these materials into three categories…
- Crummy. (Bad, very bad)
- Common. (Ordinary, average)
- Choice. (Rarities!)
Truthfully — and you know this is true if you’ve bought any PLR content — the overwhelming majority of the materials are worthy of a “crummy” rating. Following not too far behind would be “common” PLR content.
And in a class by itself, there’s probably about 1% of the PLR content out there today that really is “choice”.
It’s rare.
Rarer still do you get the opportunity to grab up “Choice” PLR content that has NEVER-BEEN-RELEASED that was written by a recognized expert (not gonna use the word “guru”!) in the internet marketing arena.
Today is an exception. It’s one of those rare days. One of those 1% moments. Once every ten years in this case as he celebrates his ten year anniversary.
There are so many things you can do with these materials -
- Create your own original articles.
- Build rebrandable reports.
- Edit them and sell them as your own.
- Convert them into audio products.
- Develop a coaching program around them.
- Stock a membership site with them.
- Extract parts for blog posts.
There’s only ONE catch…
This package will ONLY be available for the NEXT 10 DAYS. On Friday, August 27 at 10PM CDT Profits Vault will once again be shut down and the package will no longer be available.
So, drop by today and see if this package is right for you.
UPDATE: There is a “Fast Action” bonus for the next 100 people only who order … PLR license to a 70 page product of Jimmy’s!
All the details are at http://directanddigitalmarketing.com/profitsvault.html
Even if you don’t plan on using this content until down the road, you won’t find better quality content for the price.

Take a look around: How many countries are spending millions and billions on weapons that kill and destroy people and countries?
Almost every country in the world is guilty.
Even Pakistan, during their crisis.
Yet, the general population is suffering.
Not only in Pakistan.
In Palestine. Afghanistan. Iraq.
Even the USA.
Yet the arms race goes on.
It’s left up to us to open our hearts and our wallets… to help our fellow human beings to survive.
Go here and help a fellow human being:

“Pockets are the most sensitive part of a human being; that’s why we need to touch hearts and minds first. – President Lula da Silva of Brazil
The Lede blog has blamed poor marketing for the lack of aid going to Pakistan. And I’m inclined to agree.
It’s not just the government of Pakistan to blame (although the President has a lot to answer for with his recent activities).
Here in the UK, I’ve tried telling people in charities how they should be marketing.
Thankfully, they’ve taken on board some things. The problem is they haven’t done other things which could have made the campaign to raise funds much more successful.
Hearts and minds are what need to be won first before people would be willing to put their hands in their pockets.
We have to show them what is actually happening in Pakistan.
If people don’t see the devastation with their own eyes, it’s not going to affect their hearts.
They need to see what’s happening, not only in photographs, but actual first-hand stories form people who are there.
And they need to see more of them.
It’s not enough to send out one or two emails and expect it to be enough.
When there are thousands of people on a charity’s list, a lot of people will either not open the email the first time, or they just will not see it.
Or, the first time – or even the first few times – it won’t ‘touch’ their hearts. It may take several emails to affect them
So the more emails that are sent out, the better the chances of them being opened, seen and affecting people where it matters.
The saying, “Out of sight, out of mind,” is so true in these types of situations. One of the reasons is that there are so many of them hapenning – natural and man-made (Gaza, for example), that people are gettting numbed to them.
It doesn’t seem to matter any more. And that’s why we need, more and more, to appeal to their emotions.
Appealing to their logic just won’t cut it.
