Spam from Google Community

[bradley.holt]

Who else received the spam message from Elliot about the piano teacher? I looked at the email headers and it looks like it was actually from Google Community. How much do you make per click, Elliot? Tell me where I opted-in to receive emails about piano teachers. Nice way to build a community. Here is the email below (my email address has been redacted):

Subject: When did piano teachers start making $3 million?


Hey bradley.holt,

Lately, there's been some talk about this guy who's made over
$3 million dollars in the past few years teaching people how to
play piano by ear (...out of all things).

I normally ignore earning claims and screenshots because I know
how easy it is for people to take their best months, and make
you think they're making that much regularly.

Well, this guy, Jermaine Griggs, appears to be different. He
shows this video of his actual sales from 2002-2007. You
actually see him go from making $2,000 to months of
$112,000+... but I still can't wrap my mind around the fact
that he makes this much as a piano teacher (and 80% of his
products are focused around gospel music at that).

As Google knows, the Internet is a huge place!

See video ==> Nitty video

Urghhhh, I'm a little envious to say the least.

But this video is more than just 4 minutes of bragging. I got
several things from it:

1) That everyone starts somewhere. Prior to this video
(2000-2002), as you'll soon see, he talks about struggling to
make $300. $500 was a good month.

2) That it is possible to double and triple sales from one
month to the next. In 2003, the video clearly shows him going
from making around $15,000 to $40,000 the next month. This
isn't the only time this happens.

3) That it's possible to grow sales drastically year after
year. His movie points out times when he "never made less than
$10,000/month again" and when he "never made less than
$20,000/month again" and so on... all the way up to $50,000+.
Yes, we all have ups and downs-- but wouldn't you like to
proclaim that you'll never make LESS THAN A CERTAIN amount
again?

4) That it doesn't matter how old you are or where you've come
from. He was 17-years old when he started and came from very
humble beginnings (more on this later).

See video ==> Nitty video

So watch the video for yourself. He'll be launching something
very special on Tuesday, October 23, 2007 and trust me when I
say, it will be the talk of the season.

How Jermaine Griggs earned $3 million selling his Piano by Ear Courses

All the best,

P.S. As I get more about what he's doing, I'll keep you
posted.

Please don't keep me posted.

You opted in to receive emails from Administrators. If you disabled this option in your User CP, you would not have been sent this email and you would not have received it.

Actually, I don't make anything per click, as I've already said in reply to your email.

I apologize, but I truly believe the info he's providing could be useful to a lot of people, though it's certainly not for everyone.

If it's not applicable to you, simply delete it.

I think any reasonable person would interpret "Receive Email from Administrators" as "Receive Email from Administrators about administrative subjects" not "Receive Email from Administrators about whatever topic under the sun the administrative feels like talking about even if it has absolutely nothing to do with Google Community."
