Within the past 24 hours apparently I can generate a cool $14,400 per month from the ContactThem network since I've been spammed three times within the past 24 hours.

Really, the potential is mind-boggling. Let's do a quick "Email Processor Job" table on this one…you know…the ones that say "if you process this many emails you'll make this much money…"

OK, here we go:

If You Get 5 ContactThem Spams That's $24,000/Month!
If You Get 10 ContactThem Spams That's $48,000/Month!
If You Get 10 ContactThem Spams That's $120,000/Month!

New! We've just put up our very own ContactThem Spam Income Calculator here!

I guess what I'm saying is…bring on the spam ContactThem.com! Besides then I can leverage that newfound wealth into an eBook called "Get Rich Receiving Spam" and post a big full-page ad in some of the Bizopp Mags along with the Envelope Stuffing and Home Mailing programs!

In all fairness I should publish their spam-mail to me since each member of the network did do their due diligence and personally check out my website before spamming me.

Here are a couple I received within 3 hours of each other alone (unfortunately I screwed myself out of a cool extra $4,800/month when I sent the first one to my spam-box…

Once again, before I go onto explain exactly what this is, I should mention that three hours prior to getting that email I received the following email:

And just about 8 hours prior to that I got another one…all the same, but with a different name. Sadly, that's the one I deleted. Too trigger-happy on the spam button I guess.

OK. I'm going to point you to the best explanation of this, which is given by Lynn Terry at SelfStartersWeeklyTips…

By the way this has been going on since at least 2003 as I've found posts in Forums about this product – created by Stephen Ducharme going all the way back to that year. Here's one from August of 2003, although I think it may go as far back as May of 2003:

Historical note: Many of you probably remember Stephen Ducharme from MoneyHome.com which actually goes all the way back to 1999.
