of any interested audience (free or paying) can be enticed to open up their wallet or purse.
It was now time to put this theory to the test…FOR REAL.
On May the 24th, 2000 at a studio in Burbank, California, I began shooting scenes for my Guthy/Renker infomercial entitled
“Real Streams of Cash.”
After a morning of shooting, I sat down at the keyboard of a computer belonging to the producer of the shoot, Packy McFarland. It was connected to the Internet. At exactly 12:38 PM, in front of live television cameras, I held my breath and sent out a message to my list of 11,518 subscribers. How many of my subscribers would respond? I, frankly, had no idea.
The first order was generated in less than 4 minutes. A man in Houston sent me $2,991.
The second order came from my student, David, in Toronto. He had sent me $200. And thereafter, every several minutes order after order began appearing in my email box.
I checked the total after 6 hours and 11 minutes. The total was…
$46,684.95!
I slept very peacefully that night. I knew that while I was sleeping, even more orders would be pouring in from my Internet challenge. I was right! The next morning still dressed in my bathrobe, with live cameras rolling, I checked the total number of orders. It was now up to…
$78,827.44!
Now, this was exciting! And I still had about four hours to go.
That afternoon, 24 hours after the challenge had begun, we did a final tally. The total number of orders was:
$94,532.44
Almost $100,000 in just one day! And the orders kept pouring in. Within just a few weeks the total had climbed to over…
$115,000
That is OVER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS!
Now, before you get too excited, let me remind you that it had actually taken over 9 months to set up this process. But what if you could work for a full year with zero income and then, in one day, recoup all of your expenses and walk away with a net profit of ten, twenty, thirty, fifty, eighty maybe even a hundred thousand dollars. Moreover, what if you could repeat this process once a month for the rest of your life?!!!
