What Do You Need To Survive?
« on: July 01, 2010, 12:15:48 PM »
Evidently all you need is a new DVD training series that is featured in a TWO PAGE ad in the Black Belt magazine I picked up on my lunch hour today. Who is footing the bill for THIS guy to survive?

Sorry - Crackberry issues - the above post is in reference to a Jim Wagner ad in the August 2010 issue of Black Belt.

Three DVD's
Approximately 12 techniques per DVD
29.95 per DVD.

The titles are so catchy,lol:
Beat attackers
Learn Essentials
Prepare your body

They are Black Belt DVD's so Black Belt paid to shoot them and the ad space is on them for their product.
Wagner gets a few bucks chump change and the exposure from the ad.

Black Belt has a lot of those DVDs to get rid of.

There is a sucker born every minute.

In the new issue, I assume that Wagner's column is gone, gone, gone?

Well Black Belt has made a DVD investment in Wagner and they can't ignore that. You will see ads for awhile.

Also, each month Black Belt magazine, like most other magazines has open remnant pages that are unsold.  If you are in the "in crowd" they will contact you and offer/sell you those pages for quite a discount. But these are "house pages" where their own ads are run.

I see that

has some commentary on Black Belt Magazine and editor Robert Young
