The Birth Of An Internet Marketer

raffleJeb, a country boy,  bought a hound dog from an old farmer for $10.  The farmer agreed to deliver the dog the next day. The next day the farmer drove up and said, "Sorry, son, but I have some bad news. " "On my way over here, that hound dog jumped out of my truck and got hit by a car. He’s stone dead." "Well then, just give me my money back,"  said Jeb. "Can’t do that," the farmer said.  "I went and spent it already." "OK then, just unload the hound dog,"  Jeb ordered. Surprised, the farmer asked, "What ya gonna do with him?" "I’m going to raffle him off," said Jeb. The farmer slapped his hat on his knee and yelled, "Tarnation, son! "You can’t raffle off a dead dog!" "Sure I can," said Jeb.  "I just won’t tell anybody he’s dead." A month later, the farmer met up with Jeb and asked, "What happened with that dead hound?" "I raffled him off," said Jeb. "I sold 500 tickets at two dollars apiece and made a profit of $990." "Didn’t anyone complain?"  The farmer asked. "Just the guy who won," said Jeb.  "So I gave him his two dollars back." Soon after, Jeb moved to the city and became an internet marketer. ### This instructional story has been brought to you by Bonnie Boots, who publishes The Internet Wizards Magazine for people that want to be more creative, make their own products and market on the internet.  Use the subscriber form in the upper right corner to recieve odd, alarming and sometimes even informative updates.

    Now that’s funny, probably more so because it’s true. I knew that feller when he was just a sprout. He used to live right near to here. But now he’s gone off and moved to where he’s at.
