How many suckers will subscribe or buy the book.

If you buy the book send him rolls of zinc

Loose zinc would be more fitting Make him spend the time to count them.

What kind of marketing strategy is that? So long winded with a bunch of nonsense thrown in, that a potential customer loses interest in the first few minutes. That ad was so boring and lost my interest before ever getting to the actual offer. I give him an F- in advertising.
My guess it was about buying US nickels. Like I need him to sell me something I didn't already knew.

It's Agora Publishing by Bill Bonner. Bill writes a daily internet column called The Daily Reckoning. Agora is know better as: Laissez Faire Books; The Oxford Club; The Sovereign Society; Stansberry & Associates; and International Living. Their markting motto is two pages of marketing literature is better than one, four is better than two; eight is better than four, and 16 is best of all.

They've been around a long time. I remember when they first started with International Living, when Laissez Faire Books was bought out by them and the Oxford Club advised buying Enron, then buying more as it tanked as it was cheap. They have an obvious libertarian bent and know who their target market is.

Be aware, just because they talk your talk and appear to walk your walk doesn't mean all the advice they sell is good. Do your own due diligence before following blindly.
