Thoughts About 3rd Episode of The Next Internet Millionaire

After watching the first episode of The Next Internet Millionaire, I was not sure if I will follow the show. So I missed completely episode #2, and if it was not for my good Internet buddy Mark over at 45n5, I would probably miss episode #3 as well.

The third episode caught my eye. While I like a good game of poker, I do not consider myself a great player. I do however have some experience in Real Estate. Even though I let my real estate license expire, there are certain things I have learned that will stay with me for a long time. Things that I use, unconsciously and sometimes consciously, in affiliate marketing.

So when I watched the episode #3 of The Next Internet Millionaire, I forced myself to watch the looooooong 49 minutes of the show, simply because it had to do with real estate. The teams where given a challenge to “re-launch” the marketing campaign of a house that was on the market for 18 months without any offers. I am not sure whether it was done to protect the privacy of the home-owners, but I did not notice the teams discussing or asking questions about the price of the house.

Every Real Estate Agent will tell you that one of the major reasons that house does not sell is that sometimes house is overpriced. Granted, only one contestant had a background in Real Estate, however her suggestion to increase the prise by $25,500 per day for the last eight days of the marketing time raised a few questions about her experience in Real Estate.

Why do I think price should have been discussed while creating the marketing plan? Simple. Every buyer in order to make an offer needs a number.

How is this relevant to affiliate marketing, or if you wish to a “product launch”. When choosing an affiliate program I always consider the price of a product or service. I have come across products or services that were overpriced, and sometimes price difference of $20 turned me into a buyer.

Anyway watch the video below, if you have 49 minutes to spare, and tell me what you think.

    I'm enjoying the shows

    I've yet to have heard of one of their “expert marketing” guests yet though, looking forward to seeing somebody I might recognize.

    I think I would watch the show if it was not 49 minutes a pop… But then again, if it was produced for the TV station, this 49 minutes could have been 2 hours.

    I can't wait for all these “reality shows” to bite the dust. Total drivel in my opinion.

    These “reality shows” are about as real as The Brady Bunch.

    Carla,

    Thanks for stopping by! I agree 100% with you. So far I have learned very little from The Next Internet Millionaire. They really need to step up in order to grab my attention.

    “You are not their target audience” comes to mind.

    I get the feeling that at the end of the series, they will actually launch a backend product which actually contains all the training from each expert.

    I think I have heard of all the experts in the show, met a couple of them.

    Jason Henderson also joined the Dofollow community earlier today on Bumpzee.

    They seem to be deliberately missing out on the real information. Jeff Walker's stuff does work, I have studied so many of his client's launching products, and seen him face questions live from a very knowledgeable audience.

    @Andy,

    Yes I have noticed (via BumpZee widget) that Mr. Henderson stopping by my blog. But I was not sure, thanks for confirming.

    Interesting thing is that all throughout the third episode I had a feeling that they were not “giving” out all the “juicy” staff.

    I guess now I will be watching it, even though it is almost 50 minutes long.
