Called the most bizarre event in Olympic history…
The 1904 men’s summer marathon in St Louis and part of America’s first Olympics, was held in conjunction with World’s Fair…
Celebrating the Louisiana Purchase centennial and showcasing America’s imperialism.
Proving to be a bizarre event due to a chaotic and ridiculous series of incidents.
Consisting of a mix of seasoned marathoners and of unusual participants…
…ten inexperienced Greek runners, two barefoot South African tribesmen and a Cuban mailman.
Named Felix Carbajal who arrived at the starting line in street clothes that was later modified by a fellow Olympian.
The race was run during the hottest part of the day on dusty roads with only minimal amounts of water.
A 24.85 mile course, over rough terrain, and hills…
The chief organizer, James Sullivan wanted to test the effects of dehydration.
(Think I would have told him where to shove is test!)
And these conditions led to countless incidents…
One man, William Garcia nearly died from internal injuries caused by the dust.
Another suffered vomiting, one man was chased off course by dogs…
(Bet he ran like the clappers with those dogs at his heels.)
and Caribajal took a nap mid-race after eating rotten apples.
Fredrick Lorz hitched a ride for 11 miles after suffering cramps.
A guy was even given the first reported incidence of performance-enhancing drug use in modern Olympics by his support team.
Fredrick was initially declared the winner but later disqualified once it was discovered he’d cheated and hitched a ride.
The actual winner was Thomas Hicks.
Pretty dangerous marathon if you ask me…
Zaf.
P.S. Something not so dangerous…
Chances are your affiliate marketing results are not as good as you want?
The sad truth is most affiliates earn barely enough in commissions to make it worth the effort, let alone make a full-time living from it.
Simply because they’re using the same tried and worn-out strategies as everyone else, whether they realise it or not.
So, what is your current affiliate strategy?
Do you apply for the latest launch and often get turned down?
A few small changes to the way you work as an affiliate marketer (even if you haven’t started yet) and you can see BIG results.
And that’s exactly what you’ll learn in the Retired Super Affiliate publication by Tony Shepherd…
About the publication, Tony says:
“If I had to start from scratch TODAY with no list, no products, no reputation and no contacts…
… I could build up a full-time affiliate marketing income in a very short time indeed using these strategies I share in this publication.”
Inside the publication, you’ll discover…
- Reciprocity – How to benefit even if don’t have your own products (Page 29)
- Strategy Five – How to create affiliate income streams (Page 34)
- How to maximise your chances of profit from ANY paid traffic (Page 37)
- Strategy 6 – A simple approach for LAZY affiliate marketers (Page 38)
- And a hell of a lot more!
Now just ask yourself this one question…
Is it finally time to start changing things for yourself?
Affiliate marketing is the fastest and easiest way for anyone to start a full-time online business…
But you’re not going to go from ZERO to ten thousand dollars overnight but this is something where in my opinion you can see results faster than other things such as blogging or product creation.
Now there’s no guarantee you’ll succeed with these strategies – after all I can’t make you do the work required but one thing can be said by the end of the publication you WILL have something concreate to act on.
You also get a 5-page PDF cheat sheet as a bonus of the 9 strategies…
just print off as a reminder and you’ll get access to this in the member’s area.
(Note you won’t see the bonus on the sales page but on the checkout page.)And if you wish I can give you that right now by clicking here.
