Know-How Exchange : Just for Fun

Here's the background of how/why zingwhackers: https://learningfolder.net/blog/?p=123

It's simply a viral experiment by Ken McArthur

Notice how they picked a word that has never been used -- it is a brand new made-up word. Zingwhackers, Stompernet -- even the names of the Internet Marketer's like Frank Kern or Eban Pagan - these are names carefully picked out that have very little if any competition on the search engines -- which is key to dominating the search results for the keyphrase. Yes, definitely a viral marketing campaign at work. Can't wait to the day that these campaigns become as dated as PDF e-books and email marketing. Marketing needs a new twist.

Hi Phil, Juliet, Jay Hamilton Roth and Levon...thanks for your response.

Hey Phil thanks for your lovely compliment to my service here on marketingprofs. Lately I've been feeling like a Zengwhacker. The unpredictable things that you think only happens for others has been happening for me.

Phil I haven't seen that movie. Are there a whole bunch of Zengwhackers on it or something.


Thank you Juliet for your input. 940 listings on the UK side huh. If it was a viral marketing campaign shouldn't there be more listings for it? I can see how a different word would create a lot of talk-talk.

Hey Jay thanks for jumping in there...It seems you have some knowledge on the subject so if you don't mind me asking what constitutes a viral marketing campaign? I mean if I send an email to 10 people does that constitute a viral marketing campaign? or is it based on all 10 people replying? I'm just trying to understand how this works.

Finally Levon are you saying that Zengwhackers are carefully chosen words that no one is using but would make it easy for them to gain #1 status on the internet because of their keyword status? Then my question is how would this make them better off because they picked it.


Thanks everyone I look forward to your WhackerZeng response.

Hi Everybody...got a couple of interesting responses here by two very intersting people...Levon & one of my hero's...Jay Hamilton-Roth. Let's here it for them everybody.

Now Levon, let's first consider your statement.

LEVON

DEREMIAH *CPE---I'm not sure that, that's what this is about...I'm going to have to ask Kenneth McArthur about this whole thing since he started this mess about the ZengWhacker. But I've been having a little trouble getting to this Neo-SuperSTAR author whose whole book is supposed to show you how to get above the Smog of promotion that seems to bombard us on every hand.

Is the purpose of this word some new fangled way to exalt yourself over and above all the other PROPAGANDA (and my use of the word PROPANDA is not to be mistakenly used in this new age rendering we've created for this very ---old school--- word that has lost it's true meaning.)

It appears that some might think it (ZengWhacker)becomes some frantic buzzword that everyone just begins to feel a deep rooted connection to or association with that put's them in a zombie like trance that makes everyone across the internet become GO-bots for an internet campaign. That's the part I have trouble believing. ZengWhacker has got to be more than just that.

I can get with that it is a chosen keyword that allows you to dominate that key phrase. I make a lot of transactions with keywords, the studying of them and all that but at some point the words have to become like a lit firecracker stem that just takes off on a frantic ride until it explodes or climaxes into some heavenly pot of gold for the internet marketer.


Well Jay I hear you and get what you're saying now about what may constitute a viral motivational message that compels people to not only read but press FORWARD or SEND while a person is in their email box. But why would a person get hyped about the word ZengWhacker?

Thanks everybody...tonight we're closing the question whether we get an answer or not. Thanks again.

And Levon...the best way to pay forward for me is for you to send a check to or hit send after you put your mastercard number into paypal for an undisclosed six figure sum...lol. Just joking but thanks for your input I appreciate your answer I'm just trying to really understand this thing.

Your Servant,

Hey Guys,

I've been told that the ZengWhacker question has just gotten pulled. Whacked after 69 hours. I guess I'll have to go back to the drawing board or back to the originator of this confounding riddle. Have a great weekend.

THANKS Phil, Juliet, Jay Hamilton Roth, Levon & cnolte. You 5 have made this an interesting roundtable for discussion. I wish you each the most marvelous weekend you could imagine and hey feel free to shoot me an email or connect with me on Opennetworkers, LinkedIn, Facebook or Helium. This has been a stone cold blast and a wonderful C-ommunity P-ositive E-vent.

Is there anything else I can do for you?


Your Servant, (Because you deserve to be HAPPY)

Dear Deremiah


Better late than never for an old friend!

It’s wonderful to hear from you again – I too have been absent from the forum due to “Projects”, one of which is a study of the new breed of interned marketing zillionaires - made more difficult by my decision not to purchase a single scheme or “Product” from them in the process!

Ken MacArthur shares a lot of characteristics with the very best (Or worst) of the Get rich quick” merchants, but what he is doing is far more moral, more ethical and more benign, which leads me to guess that many of “Peoples Enterprise Web Guru’s” have rather borrowed their money making schemes from his methodology rather than accuse him of copying them.

These guys have an idea to sell and until they are well known, they need to sell it in small doses, using multiple “free” offers. They do this at a relatively low price ($27, $37 and $47 per month are common figures to charge people who want to become web millionaires by learning the secrets)

To make a lot of money, the originators of a scheme or a scam need to develop an extensive reach and in turn, get their affiliates to further promote their scheme, in turn getting more people to promote the originators status. Once they have a base of idiots (Sorry, customers and prospects) they are then elevated to the Guru status which allows them to charge $9037 for a course which is, of naturally, “Sold Out” after two days of advertising. Inevitable, a few spare places come up for grabs a week later and are offered to the drooling fan club. Then a couple of months later, because of the overwhelming demand and the viral campaign which has spread the good word about how “Invaluable” the course is, it is offered to a “Select Few (Thousand!?) at, guess what? $47 a month!

I’ve been looking for a way to use their techniques, ethically and in the B2B context to the same ends – great reach, repeat income and viral marketing but done in an ethical manner and I think that Mr ZengWhacker has just provided me with yet another bit of the jigsaw.

Best wishes

Hey Stevea,

my good ole friend. I miss you too. It seems we have both been engaged in high end special projects designed to make our customers money versus our own desire to solely focus on our own personal "Wealth".

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN FROM OBSCURITY (THE GHETTO) TO FAME & FORTUNE...Did he need a ZengWhacker?...
As you and I both are fans of Benjamin Franklin and we've both probably read the Road to Wealth...(I say maybe because I know I have...not sure you have). Franklin who like me came from mere obscurity ---(but before American Colonies had Welfare programs)--- learned much about wealth and often what Americans fail to see. (Because most at least poor to middle class Americans have not read the book).

What Franklin saw and was concerned about in the young nation is that people would be striving so much for wealth that they would end up sacrificing the sacred things that at the very foundation of America made it a great country. I most certainly agree with you for I myself have studied this interesting internet phenomenom where internet gurus do gain an audience and achieve high levels of wealth. But we would be accurate not to lump them all in the same boat. Like most people in the world some have high values and others low values. As a rule I've learned to get to know people first and then make my assessment of what their true values are even in an industry like this one where most want to maintain good values but sometimes in their desire to gain wealth they lose sight on the true goal...and that is to SERVE your Customers.


DEREMIAH's ZENGWHACKERLOSOPHY

SERVING THE ZENGWHACKER PHENOMENOM...
Good Wealth is merely achieved by serving the needs of others first. It is a by-product. Serving is the ZengWhacker phenomenom that can exist within all of us because it is a self made concept created for the purpose of differentiation.

ZENGWHACKER GIMMICKS NEVER WORK...
Although ZengWhacker's can be used as a gimmick it will never work to the best interest of the user because it is built on a short term objective versus a long range objective.

ZENGWHACKER Endurance...
When our ZengWhacker has endurance...when it can go the distance as a differentiator in marketing terms it has the greatest opportunity of serving customers needs more effectively and our own.

ZENGWHACKER VIRAL MEDICINE...
Although it's easy to see that ZengWhackers have a strange viral power they do not in and of themselves have the ability to heal our ill behaviors and solve our GET-RICH QUICK Scams. But ZengWHACKERS properly used are like medicine to the sick...they make everyone who takes a spoonful far more better and healthier because of their longterm effects.

Well Stevea, thanks for your input and I only wish I had points to give you my good friend. Go to my 500 Question and feel free to make a post their and I will assure you that you can cash in on your points there. By the way...when are you going to open the doors for me to stop through and visit you in the UK. If you make time I'll come over and SERVE YOU by offering you a couple of days of "Free Labor" in any area where you'd like me to BRAINSTORM with you on a problem. I do this a couple of times a year for Nightingale Conant Corporation, the motivational Personal and Self-development company. Thanks for your time Stevea and shoot me an email righ now about my offer.

Is there anything else I can do for you that will make your day a little brighter?

Your Servant, (Because Steve you're an awesome human being)
