How a Jewish Neo-Nazi Used Fake Water Monkeys, Real Weapons and Comic Books to Get Rich

Hi ,


Remember sea monkeys?


Fascinating franken-creatures that sprang to life when put in water.


Naive kids like me loved them.


Actually, that's not quite true.


I'll get back to what we really loved about them in a sec.


The backstory of how these things made their VERY bizarre “inventor” filthy rich is one just itching to be made for the big screen.


His name, Harold von Braunhut.


To give a taste of how bizarre this dude was…


He was an ordained minister, a TV producer, a magician, and…


A Jewish Neo-Nazi.


He also invented X-ray glasses and the Kiyoga Agent M-5.


That second thing was a retractable metal baton device sold as a self defense weapon.


If you liked "ninja stars" and num-chuks, chances are you had one.


Extra bizarre side note...


These weapons helped fund the Ku Klux Klan.


Did I mention he was Jewish?


Anyways…


This guy created stuff that made the Pet Rock seem nobel prize worthy.


Besides creating all these novelty items, which were big business back in the 1960’s…


(Think Hula Hoops, Frisbees and Slip n’ Slide…Thanks Wham-O)


His success wasn't just from the newness of his shiny objects.


No...


The real key was [drum roll]....


WHERE he advertised and to whom.


See, when he first tried to pitch this stuff to big time distribution executives...


No one would give him the time of day.


Some would even laugh him out the office.


Wham-O had already $hit the bed trying to sell something similar.


“Instant Fish."


Packages of freeze-dried African killifish.


They were supposed to come to life when water was added.


Didn’t work.


When Von Braunhut tried to sell his “Instant Life” (originality was and still is clearly overrated), they weren’t listening.


So…


He decided to appeal directly to his ideal target market.


Kids.


But, how would he reach them?


Easy…


The back classified ad pages of every major comic book he could think of. 


Compared to advertising on TV, comic book classified ads were cheap.


In these ads, Von Braunhut promoted his Sea-Monkey kit.


He wrote the ad copy.


An artists doodle depicted what he wanted kids to imagine these things looked like.


Which looked nothing like what they looked like, lol.


There are all sorts of kits sold today.


Back then it mostly consisted of 3 packets that looked like Kool-Aid, a magnifying glass, and a 32 page handbook.


The handbooks told you how to care for them and get your monkeys to do “tricks.”


LOL.


This worked like crazy.


Apparently you could hypnotize them (they follow light).


They could obey commands (probably have better luck getting cats to listen to you).


Apparently, you could also teach them to dance?


🤷


Upsell kits included baseball diamonds and speedway kits.


Not sure how either of these worked, but people would buy them.


These ads killed it.


Dude was receiving 5 sacks full of mail every day.


Depending on what kit was ordered, each envelope was stuffed with $1 to $5 bills for these things.


He became a multimillionaire in short order.


Why’d I share all this B.S. with you?


Well…


Just imagine if you and me, average Joe’s…


Imagine if we could tap into a similar 'comic book' frenzied audience today.


One that you did NOT have to pay for.


At least not up front.


One with millions of targeted eyeballs.


Verifiable ones.


Viewer activity you could see for yourself were happening in real time.


Unlike comic book classified ads, you could see viewer activity stats for yourself.


No guessing how many eyeballs these things are getting.


Where’s it happening?


Well, one place that's pretty obvious is Youtube.


And I promise, this doesn’t require you create Youtube videos (they’re already created).


Doesn’t require you run paid ads.


The “ads” I wanna show you are small little power perches.


Things some folks are leveraging for hands free paydays.


While I wouldn’t say this is a business model,


I would say it’s definitely one of the coolest arbitrage models I’ve ever come across.


The leverage?


Unawareness?


Laziness?


People that just don't know this is a thing?


The fella that showed it to me…


He agreed to show my people how it’s done, too.


In Real time… live.


The best part?


It won’t cost you a dime to attend.


Not this go around, at least.

This method is genius.


You won’t have to invent the next Instant life Sea-Monkeys or anything really to make this work.
