Douchebag Marketer Award Winner: Rob Benwell
Last week, saw the “much anticipated” (by Benwell) launch of his “new” (meaning copy and replaced all instances of 2006, 2008, 2009 with 2010) edition of Blogging to the Bank.
In the interest of full disclosure, I have purchased items from Mr. Benwell in the past. Way back when, when I was starting to get serious about making money online I bought his “niche annihilation” product.
I’m almost embarrassed to say that.
I was actually satisfied with the first product I bought from him. The second item I bought from him, was a rehash of the first. I picked up on his pattern, so I didn’t buy anything else from him after that.
Fast forward to last year, Benwell launched Blogging to the Bank 3, aka 2009 which was a rehash of version 2. Which was a rehashed version of the first one. I’m not the only person that has this opinion. See this review of blogging to the bank here.
Anyway, the real kicker for the award, was in the JV emails that Benwell sent out to his list. Here’s a picture:
Notice how he tells you to send an email out on Friday, saying that there are “only 26 copies are left.” He also includes testimonials etc. that you can send to the people on your list. Thanks Rob!
For creating what in my opinion are douchebaggy and misleading emails, I award Rob Benwell a Marketing Douchebag award.

It’s great to see that Rob is finally getting the recognition he deserves.
First off, I am the “X” he’s talking about here and it’s all lies. I have nothing to do with is crap products.
“Operation Money Pump was created by Mr. X. Who’s Mr. X? Mr X is the creator of the Black Book DVDs, which sell for over $1000″
“Operation Money Pump: This e-book was written by “Mr. X”, the person that did the Affiliate Black Book a few years ago.”
He’s a liar if there was such thing as a double-douchebag award he’d deserve it.
[...] Rob Benwell, of Blogging to the Bank fame, has won a much deserved douchebag award. [...]
