Well, that’s sort of what I feel like doing with this review of Jeremy’s and Simon’s Underground Traffic Blueprints, but what is the point; it’s already being released to the public, so I might as well earn brownie points by inviting you to read more about it.

It’s a true game changing series of video’s with a surprise bonus series at the end, which is going to change the entire Internet marketing landscape, in the next few years, in ways I don’t think Eric Schmidt or Mark Zuckerberg could even imagine.

Surprise aside, Jeremy and Simon’s, Underground Traffic Blueprints (UTB) are the most informative and in-depth marketing series to be released this summer.

After finishing my sneak peek, consisting of nearly seven (7) hours of video training, I’d have to say this series packs more punch than a hotel full of retired boxing champs taking turns giving motivational speeches.

Jeremy and Simon lay it out straight, giving up secrets only whispered in the washroom amongst gurus at internet marketing seminars.

They show you the tools, the concepts and guide you through the “gray” areas of the underground marketing world, where the real money is made.

Everything is laid out like a blueprint or a flow chart if you will, so it’s easy to follow along and see the benefits or consequences, each step of the way.

UTB is better than a seminar because you can pause the video to take notes or look something up as you go along. I found this series rock solid with often “off the wall” underground tactics for Adwords, article marketing, Facebook marketing, SEO domination, site building, and more (plus a surprise).

This series goes way beyond the “usual stuff.” Even when Simon and Jeremy covered a topic that I thought I knew, they introduced some obscure underground twist, some new wrinkle, I’d never heard of before; and then continued to prove it out and show me how to integrate it into my own business. UTB teaches you how to quickly tighten up your tactics while always pounding on the theme of keeping everything organized and done right so you can scale it to fit your success, rather than re-invent the wheel every time you move forward.

The series works for “Newbies”, too, because it shows underground tactics from the very beginnings of a campaign. Therefore, I am very sure, even the least experienced “Newbie” could pick this up and probably even do better than a seasoned IM’er who is following the herd.

Best of all, along with every strategy taught, they also provide a formula for testing the tactics out, at little or no risk. Therefore, even though they had plenty of proof for their assertions, you’re never expected to dop a couple of more hundred dollars to follow their advice. You could prove every idea for yourself, very affordably (if not free).

I also found it refreshing that they never tried to sell me anything throughout the series. Every tool they suggested is free, or they show you how to get it free; and every site they recommend for service had a free trial, or they provided another free method that worked almost as well.

From just watching, the very first six videos of this 36 video set, you could make a profitable career. If you follow this systematic blueprint from start to finish, you could easily and exponentially, change your standard of living by sending TONS of targeted and eager buyers to your offers.

What I find most amazing though, is the bonus video about a new hybrid direct-mail-to-Internet business model. It is outside-the-box compared to what everyone else is teaching on the web, that the only reason I can think of for why others don’t teach it, is that 1) either they don’t know themselves, or 2) they know, but don’t want you to know.

If it was me, well I might want to enjoy it a bit more by myself first, before sharing this hot little hybrid secret.

Lucky for you though, it’s launch time!

While watching the video, I opened a new window and visited his current Twitter page. He had over 40,000 followers! That did it! As of that morning, I had about 250 followers, and I had struggled to find them. Crosby claimed I could increase my following by 16,000 within 90 days, using FREE tools to automate the process. The “magic” was in how those tools were combined to send a steady stream of useful content through one’s Twitter account, attracting people to follow, then having another free service automatically follow them back. Voila! Automated growth.

I couldn’t resist. I paid for the training – I think it was a paltry $27 or something like that, and I spent an hour watching Crosby actually set up the entire process, click-by-click. After each step, I paused the video and performed the step myself. This continued until the end of the training – approximately an hour later.

Just prior to launching Crosby’s “Twitter Traffic Machine,” I captured a screenshot of my Twitter page, which showed 258 followers. During this past week, I’ve made very few Tweets myself, mostly humorous one-liners, but my “Machine” has been averaging one or two Tweets every hour, around the clock, all related to my interests (see my Twitter profile at @Danorator for details).

This morning – one week later – I checked my Twitter account and saw over 1,147 followers (click an image to view full, dated screenshots). How many of these new friends are guitar or jazz enthusiasts, or dominoes players, I have no idea yet, but the point of the exercise was to prove Crosby’s assertion that Twitter followings could be attracted through an automated process of sharing content with the world.

As this auto-pilot syndication process continues, the rate of growth should steadily increase, since many of my Tweets will be Re-tweeted to my followers’ followers. Crosby’s claim, therefore, should be easily achieved.

Could I have figured out this Twitter “magic” myself? Of course, but it might’ve taken months to put it all together. Crosby says it took him over 2,000 hours of research to perfect the “Machine.” My experience proves that his time investment was worth it, and saves me both time and effort to build my social networks.

One word of caution about any automated follower-gathering system: If the traffic that matters is highly targeted, make sure that the “following” being generated is properly filtered. Having a huge mass of friends isn’t the point — having friends that trust you and like you, and want what you have to offer, is the point. In the end, the person with the most sales wins, even if someone else has the most Tweeters!
