Joel Comm last week released a new book about product launches titled Click Here To Order which profiles 4 of the most successful internet marketers of our time.
The book’s launch was covered by a ton of mainstream press and blogs.
I am waiting for it to come out on audio because I really don’t have the patients to read anything…
BUT Joel last week also launched the Sarah Palin Action Figure and I saw it featured this morning on CNN while waiting in the airport. A quick search on Google News reveals almost 600 mentions of the new product!
Joel’s ability to pounce and rock at marketing is truly amazing.
September 9, 2008 at 3:09 pm
Wow.. Does she come with accessories?
September 9, 2008 at 3:18 pm
How about “Kung fu grip”?
September 9, 2008 at 3:27 pm
I have a friend that wish she came with Kung fu grip. Lol
September 9, 2008 at 6:35 pm
How about a button in the back that makes her do a kung fu kick?
September 10, 2008 at 4:30 pm
Not even the hottest possible VP of all-time. John Caldwell Calhoun takes it by a landslide!
September 11, 2008 at 6:38 am
yup it would definitely look much funky with a kung-fu grip.Hehehe!
September 9, 2008 at 9:26 pm
Gotta love the hair.
September 9, 2008 at 11:35 pm
Sarah Palin looks like Peggy Hill. She looks like she’d enjoy propane and propane products as well as mispronouncing Spanish words.
September 10, 2008 at 9:30 am
it is probaqbly a repurpose of the peggy hill action figure
October 3, 2008 at 6:59 pm
YES SOLD SEPARATELY.
September 9, 2008 at 3:12 pm
Holy crap! And here I thought you were always the best at this Shoe
September 9, 2008 at 3:16 pm
That Palin action figure is funny. I don’t really like some of Joel’s JV partnerships that much but I am always ready for some new info
September 9, 2008 at 3:17 pm
That’s funny! I knew it was only a matter of time before someone did this.
BTW, I tried coming to your blog through my feed reader when this post showed up, but it gave me a 404 page.
Did you post the entry then take it down immediately following?
September 9, 2008 at 3:34 pm
Can’t wait for the Mccain vs Obama boxing set
September 9, 2008 at 3:51 pm
McCain remember me the G.I. Joe cartoon. ^^
September 9, 2008 at 3:23 pm
An Action Figure? I don’t even know what to say to that.
October 3, 2008 at 7:00 pm
You can say ‘PALINATOR’
September 9, 2008 at 3:24 pm
Ah this is perfect; the action figure is just as cute, but can’t talk!
September 9, 2008 at 9:49 pm
i think in this situation its best that it cant talk
October 3, 2008 at 7:01 pm
DITTO
The same point came in my mind.
September 9, 2008 at 3:25 pm
I bet the book will do well, considering how fast internet marketers are emerging, and how amazingly easy it is to make money online.
Why is he selling action figures? Man, I hate those sale pages he sets up.
September 10, 2008 at 10:42 am
I agree Pat. The book is set to do well.
September 9, 2008 at 3:26 pm
I’d like an Obama action figure instead
September 10, 2008 at 5:40 pm
I’d totally buy one.
September 9, 2008 at 3:30 pm
Ingenius. Man, I thought you were doing another book review. But this, this is great.
September 9, 2008 at 3:32 pm
Lol, that action figure was great! Been hearing about the book a bit but the figure is for sure better right now!
September 10, 2008 at 6:54 am
Right now? O-o-o-o-o…..
September 9, 2008 at 3:45 pm
Sarah Palin is funny. Gorgeous also.
October 3, 2008 at 7:02 pm
Funny is the wrong word.
Incorrect is the correct word for her.
September 9, 2008 at 3:46 pm
“The “Sarahnator” comes dressed in a tomb raider outfit and is equipped with a leg holstered .45 handgun.”?
Give me a break!
September 9, 2008 at 3:49 pm
I got so many promos from Joel, but did bite for his live session the day the book was released and he announced his contest winner.
September 9, 2008 at 3:55 pm
Ahaha that doll thing looks so funny
September 9, 2008 at 3:57 pm
Was contemplating grabbing the book, will give the action figure a miss though. Go Obama.
September 9, 2008 at 4:09 pm
Joel seems to be coming out with a new product every month. It’s amazing how many product launches he manages to do. I’d be willing to read his new book just for that component. As for the Sarah Palin action figure, I’m sure it will be a big hit and sell thousands – I just shake my head in disbelief that people actually buy this stuff.
September 9, 2008 at 9:50 pm
I agree I’m thinking about picking up the book, how do you stay organizes enough to do this many product releases, this QUICK
September 10, 2008 at 6:56 am
Successful people are obliged to create hits. -)
September 9, 2008 at 4:27 pm
what?! no m4 carbine???
go mccain/palin! finally we have a ticket with some testicular fortitude. lol
September 9, 2008 at 4:41 pm
Damn this is pretty good, that guy is QUICK.
September 9, 2008 at 4:41 pm
It should come with a bridge to nowhere, teens who are pregnant, a jet she never really sold on Ebay, and then figures of her enemies that used to work for her but she fired them for personal reasons! Now that would be awesome.
I will pass and wait for a badass Biden action figure.
September 9, 2008 at 4:42 pm
The Sarah Palin Action Figure is not Joel’s idea or his creation. He’s just reselling the product from herobuilders.com/08.htm (for the same price after you include shipping). And as a bonus he gets to collect a list of email addresses that he can spam in the future.
September 9, 2008 at 5:41 pm
“Thinking outside the box” marketing!
September 9, 2008 at 6:08 pm
“I really don’t have the patients to read anything…”
Now THAT’S marketing yourself!
September 9, 2008 at 6:24 pm
Rock Star Version Rocks….
September 9, 2008 at 6:24 pm
Oops it was a “hero” version…
September 9, 2008 at 6:31 pm
This is something I definitely will NOT be buying!
September 9, 2008 at 6:36 pm
Haha this is hilarious. I don’t even know who that person is
But if it had 600 posts about it then it must be pretty cool.
September 9, 2008 at 7:29 pm
If you were a voting-eligible US-citizen making that statement, you would have Republicans at your house within minutes trying to secure your vote, all the while wondering “How did we not get through to this guy?? We must need more TV ads!”
September 9, 2008 at 6:45 pm
she should be hotter.
September 9, 2008 at 7:10 pm
hmmmm…. A toy machete and karate chop action would make for some awesome budget-cutting action!
September 9, 2008 at 7:30 pm
Just waiting for the day when I see the post about the Shoemoney action figure or bobble head…
September 9, 2008 at 7:46 pm
Ha! Thanks Shoe…
I didn’t come up with the Action figure. One of your commenters got it right. I just asked them if I could be a reseller.
They ARE selling a ton of them!
Strike while the iron is hot, eh?
September 9, 2008 at 7:50 pm
Hmm…Sarah Palin dolls…hmm…*very* interesting concept…hmmmmm…
October 3, 2008 at 7:05 pm
Barack Obama One’s are in DEMAND>
September 9, 2008 at 7:53 pm
I am really exciting to hear this.
September 9, 2008 at 7:54 pm
very nice pic of the book.
September 9, 2008 at 7:58 pm
Wow but does she have the quick action arms? What exactly does this ‘action’ doll do besides cut funding for teenage mothers?
September 9, 2008 at 8:26 pm
Wow, that’s kinda cool… well, the fact that Joel Comm invented it, not the action figure itself.
Does he have to pay Palin any royalties or what?
September 9, 2008 at 8:41 pm
What’s next? “Rock em’ Sock em’ Republicans”
September 9, 2008 at 8:47 pm
Just got Joel’s book in the mail from Amazon today.It started off slow but is picking up speed in the latest chapter.
Many people will know this… but its something I got out of the book immediately…
You need to be a good sales/copy writer…. which is different than just putting out good articles.
Something I have to work on.
September 9, 2008 at 9:06 pm
I really wonder if anyone will actually buy one of the dolls…and I’ve heard lots about this book too but I don’t have time to read it either, good old audios.
September 9, 2008 at 9:50 pm
No Thanks…
September 9, 2008 at 9:52 pm
I’m so imprssed – this product is out and being mass produced in what a weeks time?
September 9, 2008 at 11:04 pm
New Obama action figure is a plastic version of toast
September 9, 2008 at 11:05 pm
I am impressed with his ability to source someone that can have such quick turn around time. Any idea who he’s sourcing?
September 9, 2008 at 11:05 pm
i read that book and its worth money..
who is sarah palin ?
September 9, 2008 at 11:06 pm
“I really don’t have the patients to read anything…”
That’s what I feel when I look at your blog!
September 9, 2008 at 11:18 pm
Shoemoney and Chow action figures coming soon. Comes with an MMA ring. The figures come with a rockem sockem feature.
September 10, 2008 at 12:47 am
Hello, let me dumb it down for all you noobs, the game is all about getting visitors to click ads on your website. It is not rocket science. The problem is that all you fine folks who visit sites with valuable free content you like do not reciprocate the writer by clicking an ad to help the author of that information you read. This to me is rude, lazy, ignorant, and selfish on your part, the reader.
We all know now by now that Google ad sense does not allow a webmaster to ask folks to click ads, but as a reader you should have enough brains by now to click an ad if you have any class at all!
Next time you see an article you like move your lazy ass hand over to a Google ad and click it. If you do not shame on your lousy miserable ass.
September 10, 2008 at 4:28 am
Doesn’t really look much like Sarah Palin in my opinion…
September 10, 2008 at 4:37 am
well it certainly worked. I’m sure i saw it the paper over here.
September 10, 2008 at 6:45 am
I can’t stand Sarah Palin. A woman who is against women’s rights makes no sense to me. She needs to sit her arse down somewhere.
September 10, 2008 at 9:47 am
WOW…
While the Joel Comm book isn’t really teaching me anything that i can implement immediately….
i do find it completley inspiring to read about all these internet marketers who made millions in just days.,,
September 10, 2008 at 9:54 am
Nice to see he bottled the new ‘special sauce’ in marketing.
September 10, 2008 at 10:44 am
He seems to know how to create a buzz for sure
September 10, 2008 at 12:53 pm
I want an action figure, of shoemoney! ha ha ha
September 10, 2008 at 9:16 pm
Yeah, I agree. When is the Shoemoney action figure coming out? The internet marketing ninja.
September 10, 2008 at 1:24 pm
Thats a pretty cool action figure.
September 10, 2008 at 2:51 pm
I mean this really goes to show you how weird this election is getting!
September 10, 2008 at 5:39 pm
I’m sick of hearing about Sarah Palin these days. Personally, I don’t think she deserves the attention (good or bad) and she definitely doesn’t serve an action figure!
September 10, 2008 at 9:12 pm
Is the claim that Joel invented the Sarah Palin action figure? Does he work for Herobuilders? Every major media outlet (domestic and international), Gizmodo, and much of the blogosphere is under the impression that Herobuilders created it.
September 10, 2008 at 9:15 pm
I love the bare mid drift. I think that her action figure should come with a rifle and a mounted moose head… Round it out with a dirt bike for her to ride and we’ll have a full package.
September 11, 2008 at 12:11 am
that was instant action… or did he have inside information to be able to promptly cash in on her fame?
September 11, 2008 at 1:55 am
Awesome! Sarah rocks! She’s sooooo freaking HOT!
I ordered 10
Obama sucks.
September 11, 2008 at 2:24 am
The Sarah Palin action figure is much sexier than the real Sarah Palin, Grrr… Hahaha! :d
September 11, 2008 at 6:25 am
I hate comics. I dunno why everyone here wants a comic figure for every themselves.
September 11, 2008 at 10:24 am
Must read it. Hope there will be a turkish translated one in future.
September 12, 2008 at 12:23 am
I dont know if it is just me or not, but I am happy to have a VP candidate that I would like to see naked! Its a good thing!
September 13, 2008 at 4:37 am
how about sarah palin sexy fantasy doll, it’s gonna be fun! LOL
September 13, 2008 at 3:02 pm
You should now how to sell… know what people would like … and BANG.. there you go minting money …
September 13, 2008 at 9:55 pm
First laugh out loud moment for me in some time. Thanks for the Palin action figure shots !
September 13, 2008 at 10:56 pm
Gosh, this guy sures knows when to jump on the oppurtunity.
September 14, 2008 at 11:02 pm
Sheer genius and so fast.
I guess you’ve made up your mind that Joel is real and not a fraud after all.
September 15, 2008 at 7:30 pm
Is there a President Bush (in)action figure? Probably not because so many people would deface it which is probably a felony!
December 18, 2008 at 11:03 pm
all I can say is .. that scares the hell out of me
November 16, 2009 at 4:35 pm
The new novel titled “Dalton Shores” will touch your heart even more than Sarah Palin’s. Amazon readers are giving it 5 star reviews
