Lose weight, better grades, better sex, etc.

My occasional look at danzig.com, as a reminder of the milieu from which MIGS promotions once came, finds nothing new: better grades,* better sex, lose weight, sleep better, end anxiety, end insomnia, improve SAT scores, name a star, matchmaking, become a travel agent, and, of course, learn the macarena. But the distance degrees and the term paper writing service are, it seems, no more.

*Motivational tapes by the woman variously identified as Carol Zeidgwig and Carol Zeidwig.

 

My favorite is of course the Macarena. My second favorite part is still missing. The secret amazing internet marketing bonanza package that Sheila claimed earned them millions of dollars with photos of probably bogus IRS returns as proof. I guess that Sheila decided there were enough millionaires in the world so she is no longer selling her internet marketing secrets. To think I was so close to being a millionaire and I just put it off and now I'm out of luck because it's no longer available.

I was looking for a paypal or some other method of paying for the above.

Where do I send my money to?

Me. Please. All of it. More if you can get it. Me.

Rich,

Are you now hocking off weight loss products? The Amazing Grapefruit Diet Pill?

If so, I sure hope the program is accredited.

Good news, Bill. You (and everyone else) have been given a second chance at fame and fortune with Sheila Danzig’s How to Get Rich and Famous With FREE Press Coverage. Just head on over to danzig.com (or nsmi.com), or link directly to http://www.sheiladanzig.com .

This from Who Is Sheila Danzig?

• How Do I Know She Knows What She is Talking About?
  Sheila does not teach information she finds in books. She teaches what she knows and has actually done for her own company and others. Her marketing efforts lead her company to earning of over 20 Million Dollars over a period of seven years. Best of all she has gotten press for herself and her competition is other PR firms.

If anyone knows about free press coverage (the Chronicle of Higher Education comes to mind) it has to be Sheila…

 

$75 a pop for a "consultation." Hmm...

 

It would almost be worth $75 to see how she answers "I got scammed by a school called MIGS....what shall I do"?

I must consider the options carefully. If I purchase the "You Can Get Rich and Famous With Free Press Coverage" book then I get three free questions, a $225 value! This book only costs $95. The book will tell be how Sheila earned $100 million after spending only 20 minutes doing advertising. I don't want to spend 20 minutes. I can only afford to spend 1 minute. So then I guess that I will get $5 million dollars. Plus if I only earn a measley one million dollars from each question that she answers then I will have a total of $8 million dollars $$$$$!!!!!

 

Think I'm going to hurl...

This quote from Sheila's latest get-rich-quick scheme:

I have come out of retirement to write this course because of my true love of FREE Press Coverage. I have all the money I need and could dream of ... I want you to have it too.


(emphasis added)

So if Sheila really has "all the money she needs", why then was there no money to pay Arias or anyone else associated with MIGS? Why was there no advertising?

If her FREE press coverage is so incredibly successful that she can literally take ANY product and get amazing publicity for it, why on Earth isn't MIGS a household word selling more diploma mill credentials than Columbia State and Capitol combined?

If she has "all the money she needs and could dream of" and is purely doing this because of "her true love of FREE press coverage", why on Earth is she charging a HUNDRED BUCKS for a book that doesn't even exist in printed form and cost her nothing to produce?

My guess is because it's a complete crock, and she had to do something to raise $250,000 to pay the TX AG's office fines related to Enrique's incompetent legal representation and it's effect on MIGS.

I would love to be able to nail her for false and misleading advertising... anyone know the FL and Federal statutes well enough to know if there's anything bogus enough to nail her?

 

Yippee! I'm gonna be a multi-millionaire! After I get the secret advertizing tips I'll be able to sell doggie piles and make a million dollars. Heck I'll sell ice cubes by mail order and make a million dollars. Yippee! I'm in the money. Maybe I'll even sell bogus scam books on how to become rich and famous and since I can get 5 million dollars worth of advertizing free with one minute of work I'll make even more millions. Oops, Sheila's got a lock on that business. I know, I'll sell advertising!!!! I'll charge say only one million dollars for 5 million dollars worth of advertising. That should be super easy. I work for one minute, get one check and cash it for pure profit!!! One million dollars profit for every minute I decide to work. Yippeee! I'm in the money. Heck for that kind of margin I might even be able to work two minutes a week and clear a cool two million every week. Yippee!

 

How about another option (which will help a needy grad student (me)) - for under $20 "Promoting Your Business with Free (or Almost Free) Publicity".

Actually sounds like shelia bought the book herslf.

Could this be plagerisim?

 

Someone might have tried to steal Sheila's brilliant work but look at it, bah. No implied promises of millions of dollars and only charging under $20. I would much rather pay $95 and then be a millionaire! Yippee!

 

Wrong order, the book came first by several years, I am saying that Shelia took the ideas fromn the book!

 

That can't be true Mike. Look how much better Sheila's book is. It costs more and the customer is guaranteed to get rich.

Sorry, I don't buy your story Mike.

The funny thing is that we know that Sheila reads this forum (even though she insists she doesn't)...

I used to delight in pointing out errors/deficiencies/etc on the MIGS forum here, starting the timer, and seeing how long it took Sheila to change the site. Usually it was less than 12 hours.

Unfortunately, I can't find anything really horrendous in her current site. There are a handful of misspellings, but she probably won't get excited enough about those to correct them, even though it does definitely detract from the credibility of the product...

Oh well... I'm sure that Sheila will do something else to delight us before too long.
