Ok, so there’s the details. Let’s see if I can get a head start on this.

Let’s begin with the first question. Why do I like Kimkins? Hmm. Why do I… Hmmm  Like Kimkins….hmmm.

Oh, I know!

If it weren’t for Kimkins, I would have never learned so much about the internet, online marketing, scams, and diets. Kimkins opened my eyes to how easy it is to steal borrow photo’s from Russian Bride websites and use them as your own success stories or what ever you please. This opened my eyes to a plethora of other ways photos can be used on the internet to con convince people your product is good.

Thanks to Kimkins, I have learned that yahoo answers can be used to drive traffic to your website promotions. I have learned the art of sock puppetry. Yes, just like pen names, a person can create many personas on the web and use them to be as many people as they desire. The more different people you can portray, the more it looks like you have a great product to promote, especially when everyone is saying great things about your product.

Thanks to Kimkins, I have learned how vitally important article marketing is and how your articles can spread like weeds all over the internet giving you a bazillion backlinks to your website. I have also learned that activists can get these articles removed with some good old fashioned elbow grease.

Kimkins has been instrumental in helping me find new friends that will be with me for life!

If it weren’t for Kimkins, I would still be in the dark on how easy it is to sue someone and get sued. I have learned to accept life on the run  as just a normal part of everyday life. I have learned that if you are trying to sue someone in another state over an internet issue that you may get shot down for “lack of jurisdiction.”

I have learned the importance of a class action lawsuit. How it is something created to protect everyone. I have learned that the court system is very slow in Corona California, but that a lawyer like John Tiedt is a one in a million God send. He has been persistent for well over a year now and has assured us he will not stop until the right thing has been done.

Thanks to Kimkins, I have learned there are free forums on the internet and people who can support you in your weightloss journey. I now know that fast weightloss can cause some serious damage and that gastric bypass patients really need the serious care of a doctor and they need many supplements to maintain their health. It’s not just about making the stomach smaller so you can eat less.

I have learned that some kind of exercise is really important for long term sucessful weightloss. Also, that anything below 800 calories a day is considered starvation.

I like how Kimkins has helped me learn the lesson of how some things need to be kept very quiet until thoroughly investigated.

Most of all, I like Kimkins for the never ending blog topics I am presented with. I can find another angle to hash out just about any day of the week.

I have also learned that it is frowned upon now by the FTC for affiliates to be incentivised with product or money to write positive reviews on a product. How that can get the blogger and the product owner into a whole heap of trouble if done wrong.

Finally, I have learned that even if you never say anything wrong on a forum that you can still be banned from your lifetime membership. That some don’t understand the meaning of spreading the truth and that freedom of speech is a right here in the USA.

Yes, I like Kimkins for the learning experience it has provided me on all these things.

Ok, so there is the first draft of my essay. I would like to submit some photos but my camera is on the fritz at them moment. Hmm, DUH!  Yes! I have some photos:fatladyYes, that is me before Kimkins – and here is my after:

Viral Marketing, Enemy turned Friend

What is viral marketing? Just what it sounds like. Marketing in virus form. Take your message (the virus), sneeze it over here and over there, and hopefully someone is infected and they begin to sneeze and spread it a bit more.

It only took a year for Kimkins to spread it’s deadly Read more
