  Casey, if you are serious about selling, checkout the SitePoint Marketplace, and go to the section called Premium Sites for Sale. I just saw a guy create a blog in January 2007, build it up with pagerank and various income sources bringing in about $1,200 a month, then he sold it at the end of May 2007 for about $13,000 using the marketplace at SitePoint. I’ll bet you could get some serious offers for such a popular and highly entertaining blog.

  Also you should consider doing paid reviews in your blog for other foreclosure websites. Check out http://www.reviewme.com and similar outlets to get paid for your reviews. You could increase your monthly income by $2500 or more and finally we can start seeing more relevant content on your blog since this was supposed to be about foreclosures.

  Another idea is to setup an account on http://www.ether.com or something similar to get paid when people call you. Basically you set an hourly or per minute rate for people to call you, they have to prepay in order to make the phone call go through. So everytime the phone rings you make money, perhaps like a foreclosure consultant, or any topic since they are paying to call you. Keep the dream alive and good luck to you.

  Casey,

  Ok out with it, your real goal isn’t to be the next foreclosure guru is it? It’s to be the next YOU TOO CAN MAKE A MILLION FROM THE INTERNET BY BLOGGING guru. Right?

  “Yes, I’m gonna do some mentoring!”

  Seriously, who the hell is going to want you as a mentor?

  “And I’m definitely planning to join Yaro’s Mastermind Blog Mentoring Program which cost only $47/month right now”

  Because you have $47/month to waste don’t you? That’s a real professional looking page about the mentoring program. Doesn’t look at all spammy with the big red text.

  Seriously Casey, your posts are increasingly full of hyperbole fluff. You’re still just running around looking at ‘opportunities’. One day I really hope something gives you a smack in the face type reality check.

  Still up adding finishing touches on the post, so I figure I’ll answer a few comments that just showed up… Sorry for the lack of involvement, what can I say, have been busy as you can see from the pics.

  @1. I am a homeowner… thanks for the tips. I’m gonna check out SitePoint and see about maybe listing my site there just to see what will happen. At the same time I’m not sure if I want to sell it after all. I kind of want to apply Yaro’s trix and get this thing REALLY cranking. Stability is more important than paying off all the debt TODAY.

  @2. Lou Minatti… this IS the trainwreck. Oh wait… let me guess. You’re not happy the train is getting back on track - a success story in the making!! Man, what a hater!

  @3 & 4. More haterz… more or less. This just shows I need to spend less time hanging out with negative people. This trip to Aussie land and hanging out with positive people is really helping me out! I’m glad I’m here.

  WHERE IS THE LOVE???

  Hey maybe, after you look at the Cute Kuala and my Kango friend, perhaps, just perhaps, you will crack a little smile on your hater face and appreciate things for once.

  Nothing like being in the nature and getting in touch with the beautiful (intelligently designed) creation!!

  “This trip to Aussie land and hanging out with positive people is really helping me out! I’m glad I’m here.”

  Think about this: You had to fly to Australia to meet ‘positive people’. Back home in Sacramento you don’t have anyone who supports you. Why do you think it is that is? When friends, family and nearly everyone reading your blog is saying the same ‘negative’ things to you over and over and over do you not think that maybe, just maybe, they have a point?

  “@2. Lou Minatti… this IS the trainwreck. Oh wait… let me guess. You’re not happy the train is getting back on track - a success story in the making!! Man, what a hater!”

  The trainwreck is still there, waiting for you to come back. Only someone like you would ever dream of taking a vacation while leaving his troubles and debts for other people to solve. You are, quite simply, a disgrace.

• 13. JTN

  Hmm… if you are trying to get back on track, why are you fully tipping your hand to your audience and showing exactly how you are trying to do it? It’s a bit like seeing the mechanics of a magic trick. Interesting, sure, but it does open you up for criticism. For example, telling your readers you are looking to outsource the creation of intellectual content may not be the best way to inspire loyalty. Sure, most politicians use speechwriters but they don’t blantantly advertise it.

• 14. aelfscine

  It’s not a matter of negativity, it’s a matter of who your audience is. Your audience now is trainwreck watchers.
  The audience of the Lakers is people who watch basketball.
  LOTS of people watch the Lakers, and they’ve been monetized pretty darn well.

  Now, imagine that someone swapped out the Lakers for an infomercial on how to stop foreclosure. That huge audience is going to be grouchy. They’re not going to stick around, they’re not going to switch from buying Lakers hats to foreclosure hats. They’re going to go watch the Suns, or the Pistons, or whoever. Bottom line, they want basketball.

  You think that your infomercial is going to be really good, so people will stick around and pay you phat moniez. But you’ve made it crystal clear to your audience that all you really care about from them is money and traffic; you’re not even going to bother creating your own content! That means your infomercial is going to be pretty darn bad. How would you be any different than the other hucksters and shills out there?

  Casey,
  I’m not seeing any success or even any PROMISE of success. This looks more like the blog of a college kid on summer break. You aren’t doing anything productive, and you’re twisting the word “arbitrage” to mean “con.”
  I won’t agree that you’ve been transparent with your finances, but your goal of being a lazy bum ripping off other people for a living is crystal clear.
  I’m sure your lenders will be pleased to know that you can be contacted through this Yaro guy, because by the time you read this post there will probably have been at least a dozen haters who will have tipped them off for you. Consider it “outsourcing.”

• 16. Tesla

  It’s obvious that you didn’t even write this post (or the past few). Unless you started talking about yourself in the 3rd person.

  My reaction upon reading this post is: “how lazy can a person be?” You are too lazy to moderate your own comments. You’re too lazy to write the contents of your own posts. And you’re too lazy to set up forums (I thought you were a web programmer?). Other people are supposed to be doing everything for you apparently. And yet you expect to be handsomely rewarded for doing this. I don’t even know why I’m addressing this post to you, as some deluded soul pretending to be you is actually doing the moderating and responding.

  Since “you” asked, this post was not interesting. Nobody cares about your efforts to make money from blogging. I’ve been following your train wreck since the beginning and lately things have been stale.

  Casey,

  This is a very interesting post and I think a lot of the ideas are great. My question is, can you actually see yourself following through on them? That seems to be one of the biggest issues. If you can follow this advice and stick with it you might be on to something….my fear is that you won’t be able to get started on what you need to do.

  Either way, good luck!

  Your blog should be worth at least 6 trillion dollars.
  Don’t sell it for a penny less.

  No, you idiot, this is not the trainwreck. You saw the penny on the track that would cause the trainwreck, so you switched tracks at the last second. The problem is that the track that you switched to has a huge concrete wall on it.

  By ignoring your problems in the US with your family and the lenders, you have just delayed, and magnified, the inevitable trainwreck. Nobody is going to forget what you did before you left. In fact, they will just dwell on it and get more and more angry at what you are doing while those problems fester. Even if you do manage to make a little bit of money this year, it will pale in comparison to what you will owe when you get back. And no amount of money will repair what you have done to your family.

  And stop trolling.

• 22. you are deluded
  June 24th, 2007 at 11:01 am

  Oh yeah, you are such the track to big success. For being such a creative idea guy have you EVER had an original thought of your own? Every big thing around the corner you have is something that someone else has had success with!! Part of being an entrepeneur is finding a niche that needs to be filled and filling it, not finding something that someone else has succeeded in and trying to leech off of their success. I have an idea for you. Since you have such mad programmer skillz, why dont you design the next big operating system? Bill Gates made an obscene fortune in it, so you know there’s money to be made. The reason I keep coming back to your blog is because there is nothing more amusing than someone who is such a total schlub and has no idea of it. Keep up the good work!! One question, who is paying for your little getaway from the hard hard work you do?

  Comment 5:

  On casey’s train wreck (or your statement that you are getting it back on track):

  1. What is the status on your outstanding debt. I have heard rumor that several of them are starting legal proceedings against you. What is the status on this.
  2. You apparently left several people jilted and on short notice when you left the country. How do these people feel about being left holding the bag while you vacation in Austraila and these end up having to run interference for you?

  If you consider these quesitons hating then you have a perception problem. I am just asking straight forward questions that need to be answered.

  Wait a minute. Did I hear you say you just signed up for a $47 a month program?

  Nice work. That’s $564 per year of sweet passive EXPENSE to tell you nothing you can’t find for free with a few basic google searches.

  Now you’re thinking of outsourcing the blog writing too?

  Exactly what would you do with all this newfound free time?

  It’s not like you don’t lead a life of meaningless self-indulgence as it is, so I can’t imagine what you’d do with MORE free time.

  Of course, this is a moot point. You’re not going to follow through on any of the suggestions, the book’s going to fail, and once your blog starts making a regular income stream, it’s going to be a juicy target for garnishment by one of your numerous creditors.

  Good luck though. Your delusions of grandeur make the next inevitable crash that much more hilarious for the rest of us.

  And for the record, here’s the definition of arbitrage:

  Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary of Law
  Main Entry: ar·bi·trage
  Pronunciation: ‘är-b&-”träzh
  Function: noun
  Etymology: French, literally, arbitration, decision-making
  1 : the purchase of a security, commodity, or foreign currency in one market for the purpose of immediately selling it at a higher price in another market
  2 : the purchase of the stock of a takeover target esp. for the purpose of selling it to the raider for a profit.

  Since it’s your new favorite word, you should at least be able to understand it and use it correctly.

  This just shows I need to spend less time hanging out with negative people.

  What, like your creditors, former partners, close family members - that kind of “negative people”?

  This trip to Aussie land and hanging out with positive people is really helping me out!

  This is presumably because you haven’t stolen money from any of them or screwed them over in some other way.

  Yet.

  “@2. Lou Minatti… this IS the trainwreck. Oh wait… let me guess. You’re not happy the train is getting back on track - a success story in the making!! Man, what a hater!”

  You don’t seem to get it, Casey. People don’t come here to read about online advertising and search engine optimization techniques or your vacation in Oz. The story with the blog is your trainwreck venture into real estate speculation. Curiously, since you fled SacTown you don’t write about that anymore.

  Are you in contact with your family? If so, what’s going on with Cash Call? What about the rest of your outstanding loans? What about the missing Utah payment? Where is the money for your vacation coming from?

• 32. Joe
  June 24th, 2007 at 12:21 pm

  I do not think that arbitrage means what you think it means. It isn’t quite the easy-money free for all that you are counting on. There’s risk involved, and lots of hard work required. I’ll be interested to see how it works out for you.

  “However, he thinks I should at least be in communication with the lenders and keep blogging about it. Yeah, I guess I can do that. Just to show you guys I’m not in a total “lender-ignore mode”. My lenders may have heard I’m in Australia and may even get the wrong idea. So I need to do a pulse check with them pretty soon.”

  I know you probably won’t post this, but anyway…

  Why even bother doing a “pulse check” with them?

  At this point your are “dead” to the lenders. The lenders have passed your debts onto a collection agency, or sold the debt to a debt buyer. No one is going to work out any modifications, terms or reductions with you. You haven’t updated your spreadsheet in 5 months, so you’re almost certainly that much behind. They know they’re not going to get paid in full.

  Quite frankly, contacting the lenders is only a bad idea. You’ll make promises that you can’t keep, or you’ll sign a contract that screws you over further. You have nothing to offer. You don’t have any real assets, no real income and no real future income.

  “WHERE IS THE LOVE???

  Hey maybe, after you look at the Cute Kuala and my Kango friend, perhaps, just perhaps, you will crack a little smile on your hater face and appreciate things for once.”

  Pure, 100% unadulterated troll bait. If it was just you in this mess we would still hate, but we would admire you incredible chutzpah. Since this isn’t the case(cough) we hate, and with good reason.

  By the way, it’s _clever_ troll bait. Your “Kanagroo poze” picture was quite good. I certainly wouldn’t have thought of the murse/pouch connection. Your captions are well crafted as well. You can also compose nice pictures. Havin a career in an artistic field(writing, photography, graphic design) is much more realistic than being a guru.

  Dont tell me stuff that you should do, or you will try to do, but tell me what your goals are that you are working on ?

  I think the problem is with the real estate or the blog is that you are not in fact that interested in real estate; you’re not really interested in helping people. I think you are interested in just having money - and this is the problem,

  The moment you sell your blog, it is worthless UNLESS the person pretends to be you.

  saying you are considering selling will only make people leave the blog, IMHO.

  what I would do if i were you…

  Sell for $100,000 in a second. its worth that only because its in the SEO organic results for the word forclosure.

  make a new blog for yourself- people will find it. the haterz will make sure of that.

  but doing so would probably violate yoru contract for the book, i assume?

  why dont you post affiliate ads so you get paid per sale instead of per click? like amazon books (House Poor, for example is a book you shoudl review.) you would get a commission off every book amazon sells.

  also, maybe you should auction on ebay a lunch with you? it would do well!

  i would also set up the “Casey Serin Foundation” and have people contribute to have you speak in highschools around the globe about what “easy money” can do for you.

• 38. Horseshoe Head

  Just want to say goodbye - I’m tired of reading a blog about blogging. Maybe I’ll check back in a couple months to see how the book goes and everything; maybe after you have some cash you’ll have some interesting interaction with your creditors.

  Good luck, I hope you make millions in sweet passive income!

  By the way, that kangaroo is cute

• 39. Consider other options.
  June 24th, 2007 at 1:41 pm

  Think about what you are saying. You want to hire someone to write what amounts to your personal blog for you. Over the last few posts, it seems increasingly clear that it is already happening to some extent, and it makes the site seem like a giant ad. Nobody wants to read a giant ad.

  You are asking people to sign up for your mailing list so you can make money with their email addresses without really providing any kind of useful service to them. Again, why would anyone want to do this?

  Look man, this isn’t difficult. This was a blog about facing foreclosure. That is where your audience came from. The hate didn’t appear in force until it became a blog about Casey Serin scamming and being scammed and trolling constantly.

  If you want other writers, go back to your site’s roots.

  Find other people facing foreclosure, and let them use your site to document their struggle with it. For each additional person on your site blogging about foreclosure, you increase traffic, provide something useful and interesting to your readers instead of baiting them and trying to milk them, build your site’s value, and turn the focus off of your, frankly, idiotic decisions and lifestyle.

  You should give it some thought.

  And stop letting yourself get scammed further into a hole.

  “Man, I’ve even thought of outsourcing the actual writing of the blog posts! I’m not that good of a writer and it takes me forever to write something half-way intelligent.

  Maybe I can just talk on the phone with an amateur (but talented) writer every night.”

  Yes, outsource the only actual physical work you do…type a blog…and then it would be a truly passive income, wouldn’t it?

• 41. HungryBear
  June 24th, 2007 at 2:18 pm

  Casey,

  Why do you think you have so many haterz in the U.S. and supporters in Australia? Do you even have any insight on this?

  I have my theory. The middle class in the U.S. is going through some very serious economic pains right now. So many can’t afford a decent house, or if they already own a house, they can’t afford the payments. Since you admitted to mortgage fraud, you have become one of the scapegoats. Illegal aliens are another popular scapegoat.

  Has the whole wheatgrass juice craze made it to Australia yet?

  June 24th, 2007 at 2:43 pm

  Casey,

  Rumor has it that some of the haterz are going to contact CashCall directly on your behalf. They are going to tell CashCall about all your sweet deals and passive income and make things very difficult for you. There is also talk that they might try to strike a deal with CashCall and try to get a percentage of the debt as well for putting in the extra effort to come after you.

  Apparently, one of the haterz has a friend who works there and is going to try and escalate this thing really fast.

  be very careful

  Casey,

  Using Marty to write your posts was a VERY BAD IDEA. People are here to get an update on your debt situation and the drama that goes along with it?

  -Cashcall?

  -”The one who shall not be named”

  -”The others that are your blood relation that shall not be named”

  -Your upcoming lawsuit?

  -A debt sheet update?

  -What happened with the original Aussie hosts?

  You are looooosing your core readers Casey.

  That kangaroo has a worried look on his face..look at that furrowed brow. Almost as if he were deep in debt and stressing about his commitments to friends and family. Maybe its the prison-like environs of the zoo that have him bummed…the knowledge that his own actions led him to be literally trapped and out of options. Or maybe he just doesn’t want to be associated with this blog. Who knows?

  The guy in the hat, on the other hand, is obviously a man with a plan…not nearly as interesting as his real estate plans, unfortunately. And he goes ON AND ON AND ON about things like advertising and SEO, which are pretty dull. Maybe he chewed too many eucalyptus leaves while hanging with the koalas.

  Casey - it’s just not smart to talk about out-sourcing your blog (its already happened, it appears), and all of this other stuff. I mean, when I turn on the TV I don’t watch shows about people telling me how they plan to make TV shows and sell advertising, right?

  When you buy magazines do you expect to find a bunch of articles about how they put their magazine together, and what they charge for ads? “Here’s a picture of us talking about some of the sweet articles we may get around to writing.” “I know you subscribed to Motor Trend, but I wrecked my car and decided to turn this magazine into a Zoo fetish rag. Its gonna be GREAT!”

  Movies? Wouldn’t it suck to go see a movie, only to have a bunch of people sitting around and talking about how cool their movie is gonna be? “Its gonna be on 2,000 screens! And, I got to meet the head of the studio - here’s a picture of us together!”

  Blogs about blogs suck. Including yours.

  Give us the skinny on the debts, man. Those people above aren’t haters just because they tell you your site is getting boring. So many interesting things you could be sharing with us. I hope you make some dough, but I don’t really care how you plan on increasing SEO, or whatever.

  For a good laugh, check out the Web site of this Yaro guy. What sort of “blogging guru” lists testimonials but doesn’t provide a basic hyperlink back to each blog? I’ll tell you: A “guru” who doesn’t want to make it easy for us to see that most of his testimonials are from fellow “gurus,” MLM experts, and providers of useless advice, and someone who doesn’t want us to see that most of those blogs are ugly, unreadable, and slowed down by huuuge ads.

  Most of this post is troll bait, but it continues to reveal that Casey can’t understand the difference between an actual businessman and someone shady.

  Casey, Casey, Casey…YOU ARE A TRIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  Looks like you are cultivating a whole new crop of Haterz.

  All I say is…”hate on Casey all you want…just don’t get malicious with the s*** and don’t stand in his way when he does try to put food on the table.”

  I support some of his actions and he doesn’t necessarily listen to all my advice either. That does not mean I am going to start digging into his back ground or those close to him to…errrrrr STOP HIM!!!!!! (The “thought” even sounds crazy as hell…ROFLMBAO) Last time I checked my name was NOT Mocha Serin…hehehehehehehehehehehe… .

  Casey you know that I personally want the blog down because I believe that the negative effects on your personal life are not worth the monetary compensation. But I gotta admit that you ARE good at this….and your story is addictive as hell. Even the people that hate on you can’t get enough of you. You know exactly how to push the right buttons to get people going…ESPECIALLY the haterz…hehehehehehehehehehe…I love it!!!!!!!!!

  They scramble around like rabid rats at the county dump when a new garbage truck pulls in. Never fails whenever there is just the tiniest bit of news about you. They even make up s*** sometimes!!! It is funny as hell. (ROFLMBAO)

  I wish I was a psychology major. I bet there is a good paper to write about all this or maybe even…ummmmm….a book??? Hehehehehehehehehehehe.

  HELL YEAH YOUR BOOK IS GONNA SELL!!!!!!!!!!!!

  I don’t get it. Many haterz have 9 to 5 jobs, earn money, and yet they can’t take months-long vacations to Australia. You lost 2.2 million dollars and YET can afford them.

  There’s something fishy going around here, dude.

  Of course, since the FBI or the local police didn’t seem to mind you leaving the country, i guess you can afford not to worry about justice.

  Looks like Yoda or whatever his name is must’ve told you that you have to actually respond to comments now and then if you want to keep the blog interesting. Well, at least somebody got through to you. Of course you choose something totally irrelevant to respond to, but it’s a start.

  When are you going to answer our questions? Heck, we’ve been waiting so long for answers we have forgotten the questions.

  1. What interest rate is your corp charging you?
  2. What is your payment plan?
  3. Have you or anyone else started paying the corp back?
  4. What interest rate is the corp paying to its creditors?
  5. Aside from the initial loan of $4,500 or whatever, has the corp begun paying back any of its creditors?
  6. Has your guarantor (ahem) made any payments on the corp’s behalf?
  7. Why specifically did you have to leave your Aussie hosts?
  8. Where are you staying now?
  8.5 Who has been taking the photos of you in Australia?
  9. Where are you getting the money to live in Australia?
  10. Did you “check into” Cashcall’s threat of a lawsuit?
  11. How are your taxes coming? Is anyone working on them?
  12. Have you been making quarterly tax payments?
  13. Now that you’ve admitted to buying GSPG, why are you still holding it? Why not cut your losses and liquidate?
  14. Are you planning to return to your rented rooms? When?
  15. Do you have money for the rent?
  16. Do you have money for the ticket back?
  17. Whose idea was it to register iamfacingdivorce.com?
  18. Still working with Marty on the book? Have you signed any more people up for NRU? Sold any casinos?
  19. What fund offers 5% per month?
  20. Utah wrap?

  Hey Casey, have you seen this blog? The guy is 70K in debt with a bunch of credit cards and other unsecured debt. He blogs about his finances, his attempts to pay off the debt, his negotiations with credit card companies, etc. For about half of the debt he negotiated the rate down to 0% for 5 years.

  Talk to your lenders and negotiate. Try to pay off your credit cards and CashCall, and the rest will fall into place. Your lender-ignore mode is one of the worst things you could be doing. Check it out, they won’t be bluffing for long.

  Your blog used to be mildly interesting, it was, as you like to say, “organic”. We got to see tidbits that kept us wondering when the train would jump the tracks. Instead this blog has jumped the shark in a major way.

  Now someone (Marty most likely) is ghost writing it for you and despite him trying to sound like you, he sucks at it and it is long winded and BORING. It’s like reading a freaking infomercial “good things are coming” “order NOW”…. bleah

  Even Mocha’s posts sound like Marty is writing them.

  “But I did have to jump through a few layers before getting Yaro to respond directly. That’s pretty smart of him to setup layers. I should do that.”

  Toby the Comment Coolie:

  Hey…I think I smell a BIG Promotion coming your way, loyal little blog-slave!

  Can you say:

  “Mister Serin will see you now”?

  Hey, man, I think it’s a real loving, sharing and selfless thing that you’re doing for the Mursebearer here.

  I mean there he is, diddy-bopping around Australia, playing Biznessman, eating “Power Breakfasts”, pretending he’s a koala-boi, and hob-nobbing with kangaroos, while you’re stuck in your miserable hovel, wading through hundreds and hundreds of MurseMaster’s blog-comments.

  He’s babbling about making 10k a month in “passive income”,(a goal he set for himself when he was asleep in high school), and it’s all thanks to YOU, staying “active” as all get out…and for free!

  I mean think about it, comrade, what would IAFF be if there wasn’t timely comment-moderation?

  It’d be just like an airport when the baggage-handlers’ union went on strike, wouldn’t it?

  So, hey, I just wanted to let you know that at least one of us “Haterz”, (and I’m the “Real Deal”…ask around), thinks it’s mighty fine of you to keep yerself chained to the oars while the Fliptard is up above decks playing “Captain of Real Estate Finance” on the good ship IAFF.

  And I really think that with your voice, you’d make a fine tenor addition to any chain-gang choir.

  The below is not written by me - I “stole” it from a message board about your blog and I thought it hit the nail….:

  Most people, indeed, wouldn’t want to risk their good name in business by blogging their descent into bankruptcy. . . . But, in the new world of omnimedia - a little shamelessness goes a long way.

  In today’s world, celebrity is currency - and, by being so brazen, Mr. Serin may just have set the stage for a spectacular comeback. Everybody knows he’s a financial basket case, with only a cigarette paper between him and a summons to appear on fraud charges, but - that gives him two great options:

  1) If he is really a talented businessman despite all this, to declare bankruptcy ( as Suze Orman suggested ) and then rebuild his business over time ( I’m always surprised how many people are able to manage this - I’ve known lawyers who specialize in advising clients who do it over and over ); or,

  2) If he really is just a one-trick pony, to declare bankruptcy, run off to Vegas, and go drinking and whoring to the point of no return. . . . and then find JESUS.

  After option one, he writes “Up From the Money Pit”, the story of his hard knocks and his brave struggle to achieve financial recovery - the most astounding financial recovery in history !!! - and markets it on Oprah, lecture tours, etc.

  After option two, he writes “Up From the Money Pit”, the story of how his love of money - and deceit, and theft, and drinking, and w***** - brought him down to his knees and to the edge of the grave, UNTIL - a celestial light shone in the motel window, he was convicted in his heart of his sinfulness, and arose a NEW MAN, resolving to lead a completely new life for the Lord. . . . and markets it on the 700 club, church tours, etc.

  Either way, he parlays his celebrity into financial security within the next ten to twelve years.

  Just a thought.

  OK, the kickin’ kangaroo was funny. It’s not a great photo, but otherwise should have been the featured photo on your blog. Sure, the haterz will find it anyway.

  Casey, you definitely could develop this into a viable and successful business. Book deal, blog, Casey Serin haterz merchandize, etc. Create multiple income streams: plenty of examples on-line to pursue .

  As I’ve said in the past, you haven’t really developed this into a foreclosure blog (though it has the search engine rankings). People provide a lot of good ideas for you in the comments about how to move in that direction…

  But I think the biggest driver for the comments is the Casey-Serin-as-struggling-entrepreneur, dealing with creditors, family, and his own limitations. You decide to shut down the blog, then a few weeks later are entertaining offers for $100,000 cash, then talking about outsourcing everything to live the “sweet” life.

  Recognize first the different motivations of your readership, develop the business further (spin-off blogs?), then work in some of Yaro Starak’s idea. Yaro is a smart guy and it does make sense to use other people’s efforts. But some of the success in your blog comes from you- your real, honest, sometimes bafflingly naive comments. Hard to outsource that, I think.

  But where are the $25 Casey haterz t-shirts with all the infamous slogans?

  “As a third-party observer he notice a few thing and gave me feedback. Like, he thinks I should do more to show people that I’m working to pay off debt.”

  CASEY - go back over the comments to your previous posts. For MONTHS, literally MONTHS, “third-party observers” have been telling you to contact your lenders to arrange payment plans and follow other actions which show you are serious about paying off your debt.

  It speaks, yet again, to your infatuation with “gurus” that you didn’t listen to these dozens and dozens of others who told you do this, but now you do listen to this Yaro internet “guru”.

  And yes, if this Yaro guy runs a course you pay for and, furthermore, promtes it with an, “introductory special” special:

  “cost only $47/month right now because of introductory special”

  then he definatly falls into the category of “guru”.

  I’m not sure if you really think this “introductory special” is such a great deal or you only threw that in for hater-bait.

  Either way is sad.

  If you really think its a great deal then it shows you STILL haven’t learned a damn thing.

  If only threw it in there as hater-bait then it shows you still have no problem lieing and deceiving if you think lieing and deceiving will serve as a path to meet your ends.

  Like a lot of people, I came here with a whole lot of curiosity and even a little sympathy. Any sympathy is long gone. And the new heavy-handed promotion, no substance approach to the blog is rapidly killing the novelty this place once had.

  The only thing that Casey has ever done that had an ounce of integrity was pull the plug on this blog and honor the agreement with his family. But of course, Casey has not a drop of integrity or honor. It was merely a matter of when, not if, he would return. Much like the Haterz come here for their fix, Casey needs his fix of attention, regardless of the fact that it is 99% negative. (Don’t let the supporter-bot comments fool you)

  Believe it or not Casey, IAFF is worth nothing if its readers do not believe that you are 100% behind it. Its value is plummeting on a daily basis because you completely ignore your readership, you haven’t made a post of any substance in weeks, and you don’t even write your own posts anymore.

  If someone is foolish enough to give you $100,000 for this site, take it immediately. In cash. Change your name. Flee to Mexico. Find some senorita that you can scam into sneaking into America. Have her work three jobs. Then she can send you $1000/month. Use that money to speculate on the price of tortillas. Sweet passive income!

  Casey, here is a bit of advice:

  1. Go to http://www.lipsum.com.
  2. Generate 10 paragraphs of text.
  3. Post directly to IAFF.

  Results? A more intelligent post than this one. How the hell do you think you are going to get PASSIVE income from blogging? No way anyone is going to keep paying if you aren’t interesting anymore, thus making it an ACTIVE, um, activity.

  And out-sourcing writers? Come on… how can you not see how lazy you are!?

  NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. stocks closed lower on Monday as growing concerns about the subprime mortgage market dragged down shares of Bear Stearns Cos. (NYSE:BSC - News) and Goldman Sachs Group (NYSE:GS - News).

  Casey- SHORT THEM BANKS!!!!

  You’re a real moron. You are worlds most hated blogger, you have a loads of traffic, I bet you have much more traffic than this Yaro guy, and yet you pay him for advice and plugs his blog on your own site to boot. He should kiss your a** just to thank you for giving him exposure on IAFF. You were, are and always shall be a really really lousy businessman.

  There it is! Right on up there where it belongs.

  Check out his rolling stock if you’re planning a family vacation, want to show someone around town, or are planning on an extended state of homelessness after following Pretty Little Miss Casey’s “Foreclosure Help” advice.

  Hey Casey!

  Enjoying the outback I see! How much lnger do you plan on staying there? Other trips in the works? GREAT IDEA to have others post/share there foreclosure stories plus it may be a good idea to share any real estate related success/failure stories……keeping the main news here instead of on another blog!!

  Keep this the place to go!

  GOOD LUCK!! I’ll be watching.

  Casey, seriously, please think about this:

  I’m sure you’ve seen lots of blogs that claim to make significant money off of blogging, just like this Yaro guy’s blog does.

  Have you ever noticed what all of those blogs are about?

  They’re all - including Yaro’s - about making significant money off of blogging.

  Please think about this.

  First and last time viewing your site Casey and I know very little about your whole situation, but here is my bit of advice. Declare bankruptcy, go on social assistance and sell crack to the haterz’ kids in your ample spare time, they’re obviously too busy to be paying attention.

  I have to admit, this blog has gotten REALLY dull. I’ve also found that having my supportive posts vanish in the haze just because I happened to use one or two banned phrases is disconcerting. But it’s a free country, and I don’t have to visit, right?

  I think I’ll be exercising that right.

  Win win.

  READ POST no. 65 and answer these questions please.

  In addition:

  - Do you intend to pay back “all of the dirty pennies” or just “pennies in the dollar”?

  Well it looks like your meeting the right people in Australia, Did Yaro record your catchup for his podcast, be interested to listen to his thoughts about your blog. Got to run have a plane to catch. Best of luck on the rest of your trip.

  That vacant, clueless look in the eyes of both of you reveals you are idlers and hedonists, social parasites who feed off the efforts of others.

  Aw come on, you can’t sell the blog just now… I would keep it for a bit longer to see if you can’t get *more* dough out of selling the domain. In the meantime, your ad revenues must be off the charts. Seriously, man, I need something to read when I’m bored at work.

  For the love of a GOD, say something vaguely Caseyish. It is getting scary, every day it sounds more and more like a Stepford Serin has taken over.

  Are you okay? I’m not kidding, this blog seems robotic and devoid of any personality. Say something so we know you are still on the planet and posting here.

  Well,
  there it is, my post about you being actually very smart didn’t pass moderation. So this blog is indeed a scam, and you are manipulating everybody so they keep on hating you, which generates traffic. Well done, I must say, hats off.

  “WHERE IS THE LOVE???”

  Being lavished upon the deserving.

  Personally, I think it’s immaterial whether you fail or succeed. I’ve no time for those who ’succeed’ in life by using other people.

  Go home, Yank.

  Alright even though I think in the past you’ve been a complete idiot you are starting to turn things in the right direction.

  Start thinking about legitimate business methods, analyzing, improving and eventually delegating tasks so you can focus on the bigger picture.. Even though Yaro’s blog has turned into somewhat of a lame site to promote get rich quick products he has been successful and can teach you a few things.
