Some people are one in a million, some people are one of a million. So then, who are you?
First, let's pretend you have a million disposable dollars...pretty good so far, right?
Let's pretend also that I have a product that you want.
Just for kicks, I'll call it...Power & Strength.
Now, you should know that I only have the one bottle of Power & Strength. It's a four year supply and it takes another four years to produce that same quantity over again.
Power & Strength...It's awesome stuff, and you know that whoever has it will have the means to do a good deal of whatever they want, for whomever they want.
Having a million disposable dollars, you realize Power & Strength could, if used the right way, make a million bucks seem like chump change.
Unfortunately, the law says I can't hang on to Power & Strength for myself. I HAVE to make Power & Strength available to the public.
I don't have a million bucks, so decide to sell Power & Strength.
Now the really good news..are you ready for this?
I'm going to sell Power & Strength for the mere price of one million dollars.
What an amazing coincidence!
Now, if I put that Power & Strength on the market, who would you say is more likely to make me a timely offer and receive the awesome benefits from having Power & Strength for the next 4 years:
1) You, with a million bucks?
2) A million people with a dollar each?
My guess?
You, with a disposable million bucks.
That's right. You could be the sole beneficiary to the amazing benefits of having Power & Strength!
You've thought about it and now you really want that Power & Strength.
Bad news for you...as it turns out, the law also says I can't sell it outright like that. I have to make available to everyone.
So I offer it on an on line bidding system, with a defined deadline. Let's say that deadline was...oh, I don't know...maybe...November(ish).
More bad news...the system I have tp use makes it possible for anyone to put their dollar toward a single bid so that all million people might receive that benefit.
You decide to put in your bid, but then find out, there's a very real possibility that a million people might actually be getting their resources together to also put in a bid.
What do you do?
You stop the million people!
That's what.
But how?
Because, while you do know of these million people, you don't actually know these million people.
Well they can't get a million dollars together if they themselves can't get together, right?
So the logical thing to do is to divide and conquer.
You have money, but they have numbers...potentially.
So you go on a media campaign to try and convince them by telling them, if they invest with you their one dollar, you will remember them when you actually have Power & Strength, at the end of the four years, (when Power & Strength go back on the market) that by allowing you to obtain it,you will act on their behalf as well, and they can by the end of that four years double their investment.
That's right in for years, they might have two dollars!
Strangely though it works! A good number of people seem to find logic in that argument, because it serves their personal interest...and so they go for it. Perhaps you actually do intend to make good on your promise, but certainly not without, (and before) making sure you get your million back with interest and then some if possible.
Now you can have all the Power & Strength for the next four years, and you don't even have to use your full million dollars...awesome.
Wait, maybe you collect some of your friends who also have a million dollars and perhaps drive that price up.
Now all those people with one dollar have to get even more strength in numbers to make it happen...who is going to get all that Power & Strength?
For clarification, just so you know, I don't actually have a bottle of Power & Strength.
However, Power & Strength is coincidentally up for sale this year...and I know where you can get it.
But wait, do you have million dollars?
Probably not, but you do have a dollar.
We all have one.
You have to decide though, will you settle for the possibility of two dollars? or will you pool your dollar with others?
Perhaps you'll just keep your buck, but it won't buy squat until bidding opens again in four years.
Only you can decide, but you'd better hurry... Bidding closes soon.
