Shoe, I like how you are calling out the loser to put him out of his misery. What is with his “u mad bro?” response? It is so lame; It is not witty, and never will be; It makes the person saying it look like an utter moron who cannot compile better sentences and convey a better message in a better fashion.

Booooom the challenge is on! Have a debate at ASW…however it must be in a freestyle rap format. YT can drop the beat.

Shoe, there is only one universal truth in this world that I truly believe in: as long as a person is successful and keeps on getting better and better with what he does, he or she will always have critics to hound him or her. Why give a shit to small fry? (Although I am a bit sad Shoemoney Stories are gone… Hope you reschedule them in the next few days.)

Yes, it is really sad seeing all these haters using your image(s) as a way to boost their websites. They say it’s fake, it’s Photoshopped, it’s complete BS but they use it to give their sorry sites additional 20 to 30 hits. Haters out there, get ready for the Shoemoney treatment. Let the debate begin!

Haha its on! You should just release this ‘post’ about Barman. We all lurve the drama.

20 Joseph September 29, 2010 at 9:01 am

You are one guru Barman hasn’t slated off that much, kinda acknowledging you make money outside the IM niche, what is obvious from the post is that you gotta bunch of useless research assistants.

Why so serious? Let me share you a rowdy one: Two men discussing how tight ass cold their wives had been to them about bumping uglies. The first fellow says “My wife’s so cold I can put a glass of water in bed with her and the next morning its turned to ice.” The second fellow says “Hell, every time my old lady spreads her legs the furnace kicks in!” Nice one, eh?

Barman’s jealous because he wasn’t invited to the Playboy Mansion party earlier this year. A friend of mine, who worked as a press aide for the Hef, said it was one of the most spectacular soirees she ever attended. Drool all you want, Barman, but you’ll never be as cool as Shoe.

28 Kevin Young September 29, 2010 at 11:15 am

When I launched Google Cash Generator back in May I got some REAL nasty hate emails. Things like, “this kid is so fake” “he’s gay for wearing a V-neck t-shirt in his videos!” and all sorts of things like that.

A good friend of mine told me, “If you have people hating on you, you’re doing something right.”

Personally, I just delete the hate-mail when I get it or disapprove of the comment if it’s on my blog but still — it’s hurtful and kind of pisses me off sometimes.

Although when you think about it Jeremy, you’re more successful and cooler than all your haters combined (+ probably mine too!) so when you think about it like that, you come out on top.

Just my $0.02. :-)

Someday, I’d love to see a compilation of all the greatest moments Shoe has done. My first and foremost suggestion for the spot of video of the decade? The one where Jeremy recounts his experience of being trapped in the some ladies’ bathroom. LOL

The one about the fake check is so true, Jeremy. There are a lot of blogs in and around the web that display the picture in question all the while saying malicious things about you. However, you’ll always be my web marketing hero no matter what these haters may post or upload the next time I surf the Internet. More power, Shoemeister! ** NYC Shoemoney Fan Club **

While your photo with the Hummer and the sign is a favorite among critics, I think they making money off it, too, by generating more traffic for their corresponding sites. Why not make use of your extended legal formulas and sue their butts, Jeremy?

Give the man a break, alright? Shoe’s successful, you’re not. Get over it. Just join us Shoemoney followers and get as much tips and tricks as possible. Remember, if you can’t beat Jeremy, join Jeremy. What do you think, Shoe? Is this a possible catchphrase for the Shoemoney blog? ROFL

I don’t know about you but I think Barman is just using this riff with Shoe as a way to elevate himself to celebrity status. Let’s ignore his crap and he’ll be gone before we can say “Elite Retreat!”

Reply

48 Melanie Johnson September 30, 2010 at 9:01 pm

In a celebrity analogy, Barman is the Paris Hilton of web marketing. We hate him being there but we can’t afford not to see his hi-jinks. Get it?

I’ll just be the first one to say it: kudos on the Ron Burgundy pun. Can’t help but feel like you waited the entire video to close with that :)

It’s the Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.” It is the ultimate norm of high morality in our culture. Sure there are other morals by which we live, but this one phrase embodies our most cherished value: that we should treat people as we would like to be treated. Shoemoney fans unite!

53 KrisM77 September 29, 2010 at 9:01 pm

Shoe, this is perhaps the most humanistic post you’ve ever done. Straight-up and served with a challenge in the end. Delish! You’re in for a fight, Barman.

Shoe, there’s an axiom here in Kentucky that says “Getting jealous of another man’s progress is like putting nails on your own coffin.” Idk where this originated but it surely is one of the most badass quips I’ve ever come across. Catch my drift?

59 Matt O'Neal October 2, 2010 at 3:49 am

John – that’s the most poignant comment on here. And I love the quote. Whether we’ll admit it or not, jealousy is usually the root of this kind of hating. And I’ll admit to a hint of jealousy myself – I just hope to use it to motivate myself. Hating something takes too much energy – energy that I could use to focus on something productive.

Indeed. It’s pointless to try figure out haters’ motivations. The best move forward is to equal or surpass past successes.

If this is not linkbait, then that’s awesome that you called out Barman.

However, it feels like two linkbait pros are combining forces.

Good stuff. I would think that with the amount of new traffic there are going to be alot of people who see that check and (not do research) will automatically assume the worst and rush to tell everyone about it.

I know this isn’t the first time you’ve spoken about the fraud check issue. But you’re right…keep getting that free traffic!!

I should break out my Photoshop right now!

Jeremy,
I am thinking about purchasing your program for $97. You mentioned something in your ad about wanting your customers to earn at least $50 before having to spend additional money. Could you please explain this more fully so I will know approximately how much more I will need to spend. Also, what is the average most of your customers make in their very first week?
