You know what I love about what I do?

I get to have fun. I get to express myself. I get to BE myself.

When Ferny and I send out emails, we aren’t afraid to let our personalities show through (which, quite frankly, will offend a few).

Yes, we drink, yes we party, and yes, we say crass things… and yes, we DEFINITELY act like imbeciles at times. We like to have fun and we aren’t afraid to let our colleagues, clients, what-have-you know it.

In an industry where everyone is so busy copying everyone else and so busy pretending to be someone they are not, we think it’s a breath of fresh air to “just be yourself” (gawd, this sounds like sixth grade all over again).

After all… you are unique, just like everyone else :)

Our latest email exemplifies this, check it out (and be prepared since you MIGHT be offended.)

Email Subject: Deportation?! Crap…

Was He Threatening Us With Deportation?!

Hi,

Holy crap we just got a huge scare the other day…

It was early in the evening while we discussed business (over a few ‘cervezas’) when the phone in our office rang.

Slightly buzzed, we make the mistake of picking up and some crazy dude on the other line started rambling about how he knows who we are, what we’ve done, he knows who are friends are… and some other crazy stalker talk.

(Bear in mind that we had no clue who the heck this dude was at this point…)

Then he started talking about what sounds like getting us on a big boat and shipping us off towards Mexico…

What the Heck? This Guy is Trying Get Us DEPORTED??

Now Ferny (“FERNANDO”) is definitely getting worried and me being Chinese, I’m not really too fond of boats either…

Talk about a freakin’ buzz kill.

We asked, “Who the hell is this?”

That’s when the crazy dude slowed down, paused for a moment (perhaps realizing that we had already had a few beers) and said, “Dudes, it’s Steve Schuitt, Tube Ninja.

Ooohhh! PHEW!

“You mean the dude isn’t from immigration?”, Ferny asked.

After some nervous laughs (and cursing Steve in our respective native languages), we figured out what Steve was trying to tell us.

Apparently, Steve and his business partner, Ryan Dunn, are planning one kickbutt event where some of the top experts in our industry will get together and:

  1. Share some of their online fortune making strategies
  2. Party with you
  3. Network and mastermind with folks such as yourself
  4. Party with you

And not necessarily in that order.

He invited us to be instructors at this event and told us there will be a full bar and well… how can we refuse, right?

So Here’s What We Want You to Do Right Now

mlm cruise

Be sure you fill out your email address on the right afterward though since there’s a nice little surprise waiting for you when you do.

To good and prosperous times in 2010,

Raymond & Ferny
P.S. Ferny & I are both citizens of the good ol’ US of A… but we still don’t like being told we are going to be shipped off to Mexico, unless we know they are going to let us back in. We Love America.

Funny Responses

Of course, like I said earlier, some folks will get offended or take it the wrong way. It’s okay, you can’t please everyone. Here are a couple of the funny Read:» responses we got back:

Response #1

Mexico is my country of origin. I invite you to look it up in a map to find out that Mexico is not only part of America but of North America as well. If you ask me, Mexico is a GREAT country. (Terrorist free, panic free, paranoya free, amigos welcome… you know) The US has nothing on us. Thank you.

Signed,

Ms. I Also Emigrated From Mexico

Response #2

This is ____ and I am a contractor with the FBI and I know the whole inner workings of the federal government. If you want
I’ll get my IRS buddies after then the FBI will seize their assets and padlock their building. That is downright nasty. They don’t
have any heart problems do they. I’m sorry to hear you are a US citizen, beccause America is ruined by lobbyist and politicians on the take. My family is seven generations in Pennsylvania and I’m 55 and hurts me to see how socialistic this country has become. We should have left our adopted Chinese daughter as a Chinese daughter and the government couldn’t do shit while she’s under her green card. Me, I’m looking to become a Swiss citizen because I am German. You haven’t seen America going done the toilet like I have and millions of Americans. The ship is turning and your native countries are piking up steam while our steam engine has lost speed.

Signed,

Mr. I am Just Angry. Period.

Some people are funny :)

Google Ban and Slap

Google is...

So all the hooplah recently has to do with not just getting Google Slapped… but getting Google BANNED (a.k.a. chewed up, spat out, then stomped on…)

Ouch!

There’s still a fair amount of mystery and confusion surrounding the reasons why Google would not just slap you (which was confusing as it is) but why they’d flat out ban you.  I mean, it just seems like if you are making money with AdWords (which means you are making Google money), they ban you… OMGWTFBBQ right?

One of my clients forwarded me the email he received from Google as to why he might have gotten banned and I figure this might be good to share with you (maybe it’ll help prevent you from getting banned).  Check it out below.

As to those of you who HAVE gotten banned, I’d love to hear the reason why you think you got banned, please share in the comment section!

Here goes the email:
