what happened to fad diets? What are all you fat people doing to lose weight, besides not [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]gorging yourselves on anything you can get your hands on?[/FONT]
 


Ive been pushing those ab belt machines and they've been selling pretty good.
 
The reason why diet works for marketing to is because it tends to be deeply emotional for people -- unless Acai changed that part of the human psyche globally then fad diets aren't going away.
 
no- it did however change what publishers who traditionally were fine with diets would run. however we're in the middle of tax season and we're over the january rush.

right now people care about MAKING IT until summer, right around may they'll care about looking good.
 
we're doing 600-900 orders per day now and looking for more ... get on it while it still hot

the problem here is that you think 600-900 orders a day is alot. in the heat of the acai craze single affiliates were doing 10x that much per day.
 
get buff in 4 weeks without going to the gym and taking creatine/protein is like saying make thousands of dollars a day in internet marketing in 4 weeks without doing any work
 
as long as people love bad food and being sedentary, there will always be fad diets. the major fitness / nutrition companies understand this (from the magazines to services like jenny craig, weight watchers, etc..) and their existence relies solely on the lazy "shortcut" mentality of people.
 
Acai did Kill Affiliate Marketing, but what the fuck happened to DIET TRENDS?

Something new will pop up sooner or later. I'd say a big trend is surgery as well right now.

I'm sure it's only a matter of time before the Lap-Band Lead gen offer or something a ton like it pops up. If you are fat enough and have insurance they can even force the insurance to pick up the tab.
