Yeah, I just read Neil's book. Not that well written (a lot of grammatical errors), but definitely interesting and entertaining enough for me to read through to the end. Neil's given a really honest account, and I've got to hand it to the guy, he must have had 'brass balls' to pull all this stuff off. See the infamous 'brass balls' speech on YouTube to find out about 'brass balls':
Alec Bladwin's - 'Brass Balls' speech about the art of selling

I hope Neil gets back on the road, because his talents are clearly wasted sitting back at home. Get some more dollars in your pocket and get back out on the road, Neil man!

Hey, Thanks for reading the book. Glad you enjoyed it so much.

When did you buy it? It was fully edited in late September so I can imagine many errors being left.

I'm getting back on the road soon. I wrote a screenplay of the book. You finished the first draft today. I opened another thread on it.

Going Hollywood dude!

Screen play? Niiiiiicee Neil!!!!
Can't wait to see that one progressing to some documentary/film!
What are your plans next? Where are you going? When?

All the best man!

I actually meant to say that I can't imagine many mistakes being left in the book, not can imagine.

Hey VP, all movie info is in this thread:/thread-20862.html

You know I am going to Pester you to let out some secrets. In your book You keep talking about your Date Game, Lets hear it shall we .....

Also after reading your stories, I feel like you are making the girls fall in love with you and you also are falling in love with them even for a short period of time, very diificult for me to do, I guess you are selling them the relationship ?, Anyways can you expand on your Date Game and what are you projecting towards during your interactions with girls ?

Awsome to have you on the forum as a credible forum member also. Keep on posting .......

Edit : Just found this post by you, still would like you to expand on falling in love issue as stated above, Thanks

Hey Lothario,

I just re-read the mentioned thread and I think I explained a lot already. The one thing I haven't mentioned is that i'm very relaxed/cool but at the same time very unpredictable. I will do something crazy or funny out of nowhere. Girls eat it up like candy. It's something I actually did for many years already but now I'm more skillful with girls I tend to exploit this feature to the fullest.

One thing I can't really explain is of course facial expression. I like to give the impression that the girl said something stupid which makes them feel embarrassed in a funny way. Not sure how to explain it but it works wonders for me.

Some more threads by me on that:
/thread-15590.html

/thread-10531-page-2.html

The book also describes the "Look at this" move. For me it's the best way to bond with a girl.

I wouldn't say I'm really falling in love with them but in some cases I'm came close. I'm not a hard pump and dumper. I did sometimes but most of the girls I was with I saw multiple times. I don't mind it and feel that the sex and bonding is often a lot better this way. That said I also have a problem with dumping girls. I'm a bit on the soft side with that. I guess there's still a nice guy inside me in certain situations. Not ashamed of it either.

I do not sell them any relationships. I'm pretty clear from the start. I might have told a girl that I was thinking of moving to their country once or twice but mostly without any promises of a relationship.

I bought the book and read it last week.

Hollywood sounds like a bit of a tall order man. LA, the city is very spread out, public transport is poor, cars are needed...not good for backpackers...this is more GManifesto turf rather than Skywalker turf?

Hordes of people are there trying to pitch their ideas also, few make it, too much competition.

Good luck any way, I'll be interested to see what happens.

Hey guys,

I was planning on doing this promotion back in January/February but Roosh beat me to the punch with his promotion so I waited a while.

As many of you know I'm planning on going to Hollywood in about 3/4 months to sell my script. It would look better if my book has lots of reviews and of course I sell more books this way. Thousands of new books are added every day to Amazon's website including lots of cheaply prized (and lesser quality) ones so I need to stick out from the rest.

I will refund the price of the book to anyone who places an positive review of my book on Amazon.

The conditions:
- The review has to be on Amazon since this is the most influential site.
- It has to be a kindle book. (no paperbacks)
- The review has to be from a verified purchase or people will think I wrote those reviews myself. A technique many a writer uses these days without realizing he/she will loose his credibility this way.
- The review has to be positive of course (4 star minimum) and has to be at least a few decent sentences long. No need to write an essay but "great book" doesn't cut it. Some references to the story would be highly appreciated.

I would highly appreciate a few reviews on the German, French, Italian, Spanish, Brazilian, Canadian or even Japanese websites of Amazon. I sell quite a few books in for example Germany but they don't seem to fond of review writing. The reviews in this case have to be in the native language of the country not in English even though the book is written in English.

The payment:
- I will refund the sales price as in my Amazon writers page. That means no extra taxes/VAT whatever since I can't check those.
- 9 dollar for US customers
- 6.8 Euro for European customers

I'll see if I can get my hands on some English pounds too. 5.56 Pounds for UK customers. Or accept dollars or euros.

Payment will be done by PAYPAL only. This is a sure way to make an anonymous payment. You can make an extra profile on Paypal with some bullshit name/address. I did this too.
Anyway I have no interest in finding out who you guys are. I have no need for this information and i'm busy enough as is. Trust me on this.

How does it work:
Buy the Kindle version of my book on Amazon. - Read it. - Write a review on Amazon. Make sure it's a verified purchase review. - Shoot me an email saying you just wrote a review. - Note your Paypal email and review name in this mail and I will refund your purchase asap along with some thank you's.

My email: [email protected]

How can I pay for this?
70% of the price is paid back in royalties so I won't go bankrupt on this deal.

The promotion is backwards compatible meaning that if you bought my kindle book in the past but didn't write a review then you can still do this and get your money back. An easy 9 bucks made in less than 15 minutes.

This promotion is RVF only until further notice.

I didn't want to mix both threads up.

Neil - I just bought your book on Amazon for my kindle as the reviews were good but I'm almost a little suspicious about those reviews now. I don't care about the money your offering, I think it's important for people to post a honest review and not just a simply all positive feedback to help your sales. From what I heard about the book I'm sure the review will be good but if you can't handle any heat, get out of the kitchen.

Post: #236

Thanks for buying my book.

All my reviews on my Amazon page are real reviews. You don't have to worry about that. I just want some more of them and that's why I do this promotion. I of course want people who are genuinely interested in reading and reviewing the book. Not some people who just want to add a free book to their collection of 2000 other free books they'll probably never read.

Enjoy reading the book.

I sold my 1000th book today. Not bad for the first year and with not that much promotional work spend on it. @proud moment.

Awesome stuff amigo! If you can sell 1000 copies of your first book that you wrote with no prior experience, no marketing help and no budget, think what you can achieve with new books, with more experience in writing compelling and fun books, with a bigger network of contacts and being more known? You should shoot for 10k books sold next time and don't hesitate in making it more expensive. Make your new book even more awesome, with better content and charge a premium for it, say 25-30$ for each book! I mean it'd be totally crazy to spend months writing a book and sell it for 5-10 bucks. Total waste of time!

To charge more, offer more bonuses, even do one or 2 bonus interviews with other interesting guys you've met around your travels about lifestyle, game or simply any topic of interest.

Here's a toast to your success my friend!

Cheers!

It all depends if I have something to write about. This current trip is mostly business and I'm not sure if I can gather enough interesting stories to publish another book. It all depends on what happens in the next 9 weeks.

A short 150 page book could be an option.
