Wow, what an absolute waste of paper.

I’m glad to see that the retail elite are doing their part to add as much unnecessary packaging, shipping, and materials to the world while continuing to encourage shopping!

Is Shoe wearing pants? If you look at the windows reflection at the beginning (0:03sec) it looks like he is wearing boxer briefs. LOL

But I think you should give your camera or camera phone to someone else so that he can shoot for you.

In such case you will be able to open it more comfortably and we will get less shaken videos … lollzz

That one was really attractive.

Are you serious? why do you need a credit card? also why paid for using money that you already have, you can do everything else with a debit card, it is just a thought.

13 Dave February 24, 2009 at 8:31 am

Rewards perhaps?

Reply

14 Justin Hitt February 24, 2009 at 1:24 pm

Because credit cards have better protection against fraud than debit cards. You get points, you get perks, you get 25 to 30 days on your money.

Using a credit card to pay for business expenses means you can get your return before your bill is due. Even better, if he used affiliate income to pay the fee it didn’t cost him a thing.

15 Mr. School Fundraising Ideas February 27, 2009 at 9:24 am

excellent come back, if anything debit cards are stupid because the money leaves your account right away so when you run short on money in your checking account your card is worthless.
The only problem with credit cards are that some people are stupid and charge more than they make on the card and acquire debt that has an insane interest rate.

To continue to build credit credibility and to earn rewards, points and things of that nature.

Simply because a debit card wont give you credit and good credit is good. You should have read John Chows post about it.

Why does a credit card need a box as if it were an Apple Iphone…

Well I can say people shouldn’t doubt your credibility.

So whats going to be the first purchase made on this card?

Shoe, big mistake. I could decode your credit card number using a special plugin in Photoshop. When you flipped your card over we could see the embossing.

Special post coming up on my blog shortly! :P

Jeremy,

This video has inspired me to start 100 new adsense campaigns, and rock the Affiliate Marketing space like a hurricane….(“Oh, do you think I can borrow your Black Card to finance my little entrepreneurial adventure?”) NO? Ok then I will only start one new campaign per week on my soda can recycling profits.. LET THE GUILT BE ON YOUR SHOULDERS! Just kidding Shoe!

Actually, the haters are just jealous because you are successful. They all want one of those things on Donald Trump’s head! Keep on rockin it, we’ll keep playing catchup.

Respectfully,

Nicholas Chase

Hi Shoe! I started watching your show on webmasterradio some time ago. Always entertaining and most helpful. To some comments: Why don’t you just delete those who are personally attacking you? And last not least I would be interested in the numbers about your black-card-campaign, too.
