Cash Tactics Review – Internet Marketing Tips that Work… Sometimes

Author: Jim | Filed under: Spoof Blogging

Haha, okay so I didn’t realize this… but I published this post as a blank post earlier in the day and some readers found it live! Let’s scrap that, and get into the review.

One of my blogging buddies Kris Trujillo from CashTactics.net engaged in a contest over the second half of January. The game? Get more RSS subscribers than the other website in 15 days. Well as it so happens, I won the competition with an increase of 49 against Kris’ measly increase of 64. Pssh… what a terrible showing Kris!

What’s This About Cash Tactics?

Even though I obviously beat the pants off of Kris, I have decided to throw him a review as a sympathy prize for the competition that he had no chance of winning in the first place. Cash Tactics is one of my favorite blogs on the internet, because it actually offers real information. I know that people throw this around a lot… everyone claiming “no fluff.” However, instead of claiming this, CashTactics.net comes up and provides useful information over and over again.

There really aren’t a lot of internet marketing blogs that I can go to and learn a new trick every week again , and one of the few exceptions is Kris’ fantastic blog over at CT. One of his more popular series was a 6-part + recap case study series that basically takes readers from square one to PPC (pay per click) marketing domination. These are tutorials that really got me excited about marketing, and have fueled a lot of profits for many people. If you are interested in the internet marketing aspect of making money (more risky than other forms, but more rewarding)… check out his stuff!

So who is this guy anyway?

I know what you are thinking… who is this jerk Kris that comes up, loses a contest by over 200 subscribers, and then forces me to write about him? Well, to be fair he is very very persuasive. In fact, I was doing some research on his website and started thinking about who exactly he is. Kris Trujillo? Sounds like some kind of cross between Pepperjam Network CEO Kris Jones and Metallica Bass Guitarist Rob Trujillo. That’s one heck of a combo, eh?

After laying down some tasty riffs on his bass gutar, Kris likes to hop into a business suit and start making cold calls to clients in Germany and New Zealand, arranging for some marketing conventions before hitting the road on the Metallica tour bus to their next concert destination. The man obviously doesn’t live the glamour life.

Better than Sliced Bread? No Way Jose!

I have subscribed to Kris’ blog in every way imaginable, and definitely think that all of the content is as high-quality as it gets… but better than sliced bread Kris? Get outta here. Recently, Kris and I were talking about sandwiches and what you can put inside of them. Then, I started talking about how I was going to “brb” because I was making one for myself. This guy comes out and says: “I am better than sliced bread.” What hubris!

Better than sliced bread Kris? Your blog may be filled with tasty tidbits of search engine marketing, lead generation and email marketing… but you are in no way better than a fresh loaf of Wonderbread. And sure, you own a lot of real estate through your web activity. From a PPC search engine to a drop-shipping service, he practically controls the internet. But again… do you own a bread slicer? The answer is: probably. But there is a chance that you don’t. So, I am going to go ahead and establish that Cash Tactics might be a great looking website… but it is no sliced bread!

Bottom Line: In all seriousness, Kris Trujillo is a fantastic marketer with irrefutable information that will help you make money if you pay attention to his tips. And yes, clearly I concede that he did take victory in January. This is a blog that I read personally, and this post was completely unpaid… I would have been happy to recommend him regardless. So check it out!
