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.

Wow.. Does she come with accessories?
How about “Kung fu grip”?
I have a friend that wish she came with Kung fu grip. Lol
How about a button in the back that makes her do a kung fu kick?
Not even the hottest possible VP of all-time. John Caldwell Calhoun takes it by a landslide!
yup it would definitely look much funky with a kung-fu grip.Hehehe!
Gotta love the hair.
Sarah Palin looks like Peggy Hill. She looks like she’d enjoy propane and propane products as well as mispronouncing Spanish words.
it is probaqbly a repurpose of the peggy hill action figure
YES SOLD SEPARATELY.
Holy crap! And here I thought you were always the best at this Shoe
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
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?
Can’t wait for the Mccain vs Obama boxing set
McCain remember me the G.I. Joe cartoon. ^^
An Action Figure? I don’t even know what to say to that.
You can say ‘PALINATOR’
Ah this is perfect; the action figure is just as cute, but can’t talk!
i think in this situation its best that it cant talk
DITTO
The same point came in my mind.
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.
I agree Pat. The book is set to do well.
I’d like an Obama action figure instead
I’d totally buy one.
Ingenius. Man, I thought you were doing another book review. But this, this is great.
Lol, that action figure was great! Been hearing about the book a bit but the figure is for sure better right now!
Right now? O-o-o-o-o…..
Sarah Palin is funny. Gorgeous also.
Funny is the wrong word.
Incorrect is the correct word for her.
“The “Sarahnator” comes dressed in a tomb raider outfit and is equipped with a leg holstered .45 handgun.”?
Give me a break!
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.
Ahaha that doll thing looks so funny
Was contemplating grabbing the book, will give the action figure a miss though. Go Obama.
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.
I agree I’m thinking about picking up the book, how do you stay organizes enough to do this many product releases, this QUICK
Successful people are obliged to create hits. -)
what?! no m4 carbine???
go mccain/palin! finally we have a ticket with some testicular fortitude. lol
Damn this is pretty good, that guy is QUICK.
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.
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.
“Thinking outside the box” marketing!
“I really don’t have the patients to read anything…”
Now THAT’S marketing yourself!
Rock Star Version Rocks….
Oops it was a “hero” version…
This is something I definitely will NOT be buying!
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.
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!”
she should be hotter.
hmmmm…. A toy machete and karate chop action would make for some awesome budget-cutting action!
Just waiting for the day when I see the post about the Shoemoney action figure or bobble head…
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?
Hmm…Sarah Palin dolls…hmm…*very* interesting concept…hmmmmm…
Barack Obama One’s are in DEMAND>
I am really exciting to hear this.
very nice pic of the book.
Wow but does she have the quick action arms? What exactly does this ‘action’ doll do besides cut funding for teenage mothers?
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?
What’s next? “Rock em’ Sock em’ Republicans”
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.
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.
No Thanks…
I’m so imprssed – this product is out and being mass produced in what a weeks time?
New Obama action figure is a plastic version of toast
I am impressed with his ability to source someone that can have such quick turn around time. Any idea who he’s sourcing?
i read that book and its worth money..
who is sarah palin ?
“I really don’t have the patients to read anything…”
That’s what I feel when I look at your blog!
Shoemoney and Chow action figures coming soon. Comes with an MMA ring. The figures come with a rockem sockem feature.
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.
Doesn’t really look much like Sarah Palin in my opinion…
well it certainly worked. I’m sure i saw it the paper over here.
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.
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.,,
Nice to see he bottled the new ‘special sauce’ in marketing.
He seems to know how to create a buzz for sure
I want an action figure, of shoemoney! ha ha ha
Yeah, I agree. When is the Shoemoney action figure coming out? The internet marketing ninja.
Thats a pretty cool action figure.
I mean this really goes to show you how weird this election is getting!
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!
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.
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.
that was instant action… or did he have inside information to be able to promptly cash in on her fame?
Awesome! Sarah rocks! She’s sooooo freaking HOT!
I ordered 10
Obama sucks.
The Sarah Palin action figure is much sexier than the real Sarah Palin, Grrr… Hahaha! :d
I hate comics. I dunno why everyone here wants a comic figure for every themselves.
Must read it. Hope there will be a turkish translated one in future.
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!
how about sarah palin sexy fantasy doll, it’s gonna be fun! LOL
You should now how to sell… know what people would like … and BANG.. there you go minting money …
First laugh out loud moment for me in some time. Thanks for the Palin action figure shots !
Gosh, this guy sures knows when to jump on the oppurtunity.
Sheer genius and so fast.
I guess you’ve made up your mind that Joel is real and not a fraud after all.
Is there a President Bush (in)action figure? Probably not because so many people would deface it which is probably a felony!
all I can say is .. that scares the hell out of me
The new novel titled “Dalton Shores” will touch your heart even more than Sarah Palin’s. Amazon readers are giving it 5 star reviews
