A fantastic business opportunity

Snake-oil Times are tough, so I was elated to get this email explaining to me how I can make some easy cash.

"Hi my name is ... and I'm a blog spotter better than a blood spitter, I guess. I basically scour popular blogs in an effort to find great writers. I loved your post on The Best Between Two Ferns ever, nice job! Yes, that was one of my great writing triumphs. I laboured hard over slapping a headline on a video post. Whew. If you only knew the existential angst I had to mine for that. I'd like to get straight to the point. Go ahead. I'm excited to hear what it is. Our client wants people like you to sponsor their products and will pay you to do so. Tell me more. They're launching an educational product on September 7th that teaches others how to make money on the internet by using Facebook and Social Media. Well, we may have a problem there. I'm not all that social, you see. We want to pay you for recommending that product what is it? to your loyal blog readers Hi to all five of you! How's it going? and we will pay you up to $200 for each person that you refer. To what? If you make just one sale a day of what? you're looking at making around $6000 per month. All you need to do is create a few blog posts that recommend this product. Let me guess: Diet energy drinks? Sheep shearing instruments? In-soles for leprecauns? Cars made of cats? You may also use one of our nice banners and place it on your blog. It's pretty simple, takes very little time (10 minutes or so every 12 minutes) and will be very rewarding. All sales that you refer are tracked through your own special link and you will get paid every week. In papayas and mittens? Payments are always on time and will be sent to you via Check. Capitalized check? Those are the best. This deal is totally legitimate and we will NEVER ask you for any fee, or to sign any contracts. That's a relief, because the last contract I signed has something about a 'soul in perpetuity' clause and that still worries me a bit."

  • Malene’s interests and hobbies include Schadenfreude, sci-fi and fantasy (good and bad alike), hilarious hair pieces, age-inappropriate celebrity crushes, messed-up starlets, waiting for the next Star Trek movie, hating Björk, creative profanity, disobedient robots, fake celebrity relationships, post-apocalyptic dread, singing super-villains, baseball, David Beckham (but only when he keeps his mouth shut), vampires and knitting tiny sweaters for her seven cats. That’s not true. Maybe.
