- FaisDoDo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1When you succeed at internet marketing, life is so good you have time to do this???
- crusher2, on 02/12/2008, -0/+1The whole of the faculty make it one amazing team. From Brad to Jayne to Andy to Don. Great going, guys.
- MarcStu, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1LMAO! Rock on Andy! ;)
- ckdisco, on 05/19/2009, -0/+1These guys appear to know nothing about Social Media Marketing...
- hallandnash, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Go have a look at your closest dictionary and look up the word sarcasm. Apparently everything Andy does is over your head.
He's a straight, no bs shooter, maybe you need a little more caulding in your business dealings, but frankly it's nice to hear things in a straight manner instead of all the 1/2 truths on the net today. - chris4real, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1It was sad to see this, actually. The Stomper Simple trial was a complete failure that left many people discouraged, disappointed and upset after a complete lack of follow through on the part of these two men. A little over a week into that trial, the participants were left begging in the forums for help when the staff utterly failed to respond. Participants who said they were frustrated or complained about the lack of any input from staff were rudely criticized by a woman assistant to the owners who told participants they probably didn't belong in the program. Or their posts were there, and poof--they were magically deleted time and again.
Several members, now in other SEO and traffic programs, have been very vocal about their disappointment and dissatisfaction, having gone on after the trial to join Stompernet, and finally cancelling when no improvement was made. Specific modules of the training program were promised over months, but were never provided.
This video isn't worthy of a teenager's MySpace page. Grown men asking for thousands of dollars in monthly fees for membership in a business building group, that can't retain members once it has them, are publishing this--thinking it attracts intelligent people with money who want to build a business? It, sadly but realistically, demonstrates that a 'song and dance' describes the Stompernet organization too well.
Oh, if they're such experts in internet marketing, I don't know why they can't figure out how to have a working page for the unsubscribe link in their autoresponder emails. Makes it impossible to get rid of these reminders of who they really are. Dance on, and you may be able to keep laughing! - philnezz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Hey......That's my Guru........and he's the only one I got so...
- jza80nrx7, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Andy, you are now famous! Great video!
- diggstompernet, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Let's see ... initial investment $50 Yahoo "HowToStart" = 1st yr sales $13k, $500 DVDs "HowToBeFound" = 2nd yr sales $150k, slightly nervous investment to join StomperNet and attend "StomperNetLive" Florida and Atlanta = 3rd yr sales $250k .. oh, yes lots of hours watching videos, following instructions and providing quality service ... year 4? $$$ - StomperNet, Thanks for the assist!
- mclayson, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0A cool video of a cool guy promoting a cool membership. THAT'S cool! Oh and ignore the whiners in this thread who expect magic to happen TO them rather than making it happen FOR them
- rchudej1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Not Everyone can have a real business, ONLINE or Offline!
It's that simple. It takes strong desire and total dedication to become successful. - chris4real, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0My opinion that the video is sad, is just that--an opinion. To me, it says these men don't know of a better way to present their program and, in my opinion, doesn't represent what they propose to offer--which is sad. But I'm not attacking anyone's opinion here.
As to the Simple program, I stated facts. Section D of the program, promised for months, still didn't exist as of a week ago. Requests for help in the forums went unanswered for weeks (copies of forum posts could be made by participants). Forum posts were deleted if they criticized the lack of response (and could also be copied by participants before they were deleted). Jayne told people they "weren't Stomper material" if they dared to say they needed answers to questions in the forum. In my opinion, again, that isn't how you run a successful business.
I actually asked my teammates "who would get this many potential customers for their program and completely ignore them?" because I didn't understand it. We wanted it to work for us. It was obvious it didn't make sense to anyone continuing to post requests for response either. In our opinions at the time, it wasn't what Brad and Andy taught--so why were they doing it to their own customers? We had converted to paying customers after the trial--and were still waiting for help with a stage that "stopped" when the faculty went to a conference weeks before (and some may still be waiting).
At that point, we didn't know if they weren't as knowledgeable as they appeared to be or if they may have decided the trial and conversion of those customers wasn't worth the effort involved and had chosen to focus on full-priced existing customers. I don't know the answer.
Sour grapes would be a result of my own failure, but when the program fails so many it could be a failure of the program. I was disappointed when their program failed for so many because it would have been valuable to us if it had been presented as sold. I don't enjoy seeing others post their disappointment with it anymore than I enjoyed being disappointed. It's sad to think another group of people who want to learn how to do business could leave with the same feelings and unfortunately, to me, the promotion in this video demonstrates their complete lack of business knowledge again. - jwcorbett, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0where can I learn how to dance like that?
- rickbo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0These guys are so good they'll make you laugh, cry and be the best SEO expert you can be!
- Jam2759, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Andy Jenkins is a genius and is a very generous man as well. Brad Fallon is his awesome partner..the PC.
- littlesamurai, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Hey Andy, when is your first movie coming out :D
- cheapseeds, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0The Jersey Girl rides again.
- mindbriefs, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Funny Squirl!
- jfreeland, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Wow - that's some sour grapes there Chris4Real. I'm still in the SIMPLE program, along with about 600 other people and it rocks! StomperNet is the ONLY program that I've been in that actually has value. Complete Failure? For you maybe. And for what it's worth, this video made me laugh out loud. These guys are having a good time here and all you've got to add is bitching.
- parrotfur, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Gotta admint chris4 has some merit. Brad Fallon - the other half of the twosome is a real nice guy. Wonder why he didn't put this embarring video on his ifreeq site. Andy is a very rude man. If you have ever spoken to him you know what we mean. When Stomper first began and he was inviting people to join he was a super nice guy. Now that he has his power base he has changed.
What a sad state to see a grown man behave this way. There are other funny ways to put on an act. Guess this is his happy side. Why is it that men always want to put on a female act? - kforu, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0I guess Andy can always try out for ChunkenDales. I will never be able to look him in the same way.
- kforu, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Ya, but have you made any money yet?
- cold3126, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Chris4real, a goober. Simple program was fantastic, ordered and very educational, my wife and I both worked the program...it was/is fantastic. You only get out what you put in to this or any other program or course of study. The internet is perceived, by the uninitiated, as an easy was to make MILLIONS. Get a website, stick it out there and let the $ roll in. In reality it's hard work. Research, planning, selecting, building and WORKING. Yes we do get to stay home, and work anywhere, but you do work everywhere to make it work. Chris4real, get real, and put in the EFFORT to be successful.
- cjcmids, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0Brad & Andy --- changing the image of the computer geek . . .forever!
- emc3, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1This got a really good audience reaction at the Stompernet LIVE conference :)
Funny. Disturbing, but funny. - andyed, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0There are some things you can't unsee.
- fersal, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0Please don't let my accountant see this!! I can hear him now: "So this is the guy? Come again, what is it that you're learning?". If he ever had doubts about my sanity, this will do nothing to remove them!
- cold3126, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0ROFL!!!! It's funnier each time you see it
- lescowie1, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0Andy:
Your comedic timing was perfect. You are the ultimate entertainer!
Les and Fran Cowie - cozam, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0too funny!
- googleformula, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0That was one of the funniest videos of the year.
500K Google Formula.com - smack0ff, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0I still want my 7 minutes back, but that's truly hilarious.
- tbone1, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0I'm not sure I can erase this one.

- asunshinetreasu, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0This is oohhh soooo gooood!!!!!
- shermanhu, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0I was bustin' out laughing at the conference - ROTFLMAO! Andy, do us proud, man! ;-)
Not to mention that the Sept '07 conference was the best received from attendees, with a flood of comments about it being the most value-added and interactive - how Web2.0 (or Stomper 2.0!) - wait till y'all experience all these new services - ROCK ON! - sami2v, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0That poor pink parasol...
- diggableplanets, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0OMG!! LMFAO!! Hilarious!!
