No, what a bonehead! :razz: Next time you should ask for a free review copy, after all... you are a affiliate with a good size list. :smile: Muppet? No, what a bonehead! :razz:

Next time you should ask for a free review copy, after all… you are a affiliate with a good size list. :smile:

Muppet is too kind a word for this guy, he has a lot to learn. Ultimately he is the loser not having the support and endorsement of a marketer of your calibre. I subscribe to your newsletter because you know your stuff and you are trustworthy. Having your endorsement gives a lot of credibility to a product. I have bought several WSO's of varying quality but I agree with Gene's comment that the reviews are all so nice it is sickening, obsequious to a fault. These guys are feathering each others nests. Some of the products I have purchased have been worth the $$$$ and others haven't but because of the low cost sometimes I am willing to take the punt. Great post Matt.

All the criticism seems to be allowed for Clickbank products, though.

And, the fact you didn't try and scab a "review" copy, in my mind, makes you rather a "stand up guy". Next time he does a release simply email him letting him know you think it's a fantastic product, which is why you're sending the cracked link from Black Hat Forums to all your subscribers.

You are absolutely correct about WSO's and "bright shiny object syndrome". I plead guilty myself and have put myself on a tight leash against buying any more. But the problem is even greater... The WSO marketplace itself is corrupt. It is full of fake reviews and testimonials from crony warriors who promote each other's offers. Negative reviews are often removed by moderators. Combine this with rapidly rising prices and fake scarcity, and you have the perfect conditions to encourage people to make impulse decisions to buy lots of low cost, worthless products. Now, add to this the affiliate system and you have an out of control pyramid scheme. Every WSO I buy promotes others. Yesterday, I counted 50+ emails from WSO affiliates. I've been spending an increasing part of my day just screening through offers with less and less time to ever go through the things I actually do buy. I decided today this all has to stop. So consider this a warning to those of you who are WSO affiliates. The next time you send me a WSO offer, I will be unsubscribing from your list.

I have noticed the WSO Plus promotion increase lately. Especially without any type of research whatsoever. In the end, it is not good for the industry but I figure it will be good for me. Why? Because other guys are out burning their databases and no longer giving away quality. The get stuck on the "send an email and get paid" mode without any thought to the long term value of a customer.

With my list since it is related to wordpress I try to promote only once a week (they get cranky if I email too many promos lol) and keep my promotions wordpress relates always...plugins are the best to promote in my case, so if a WP plugin worth promoting then that's what I do. I get annoyed when marketers that you are a subscriber with or have bought from them start promoting things that are not related to their products or to the info they provided when you first join. And they start promoting so many stuff at the same time that it really gets crazy to keep up with. So of course I remove myself from their list. So I try not to fall into the desperation of just making money (i know we need to) but I want to treat them as I would want other marketers to treat me...not see a dollar sign in each one but just to provide them with things to help them in their business and not waste their money in all there is out there... Anyways, I always enjoy your emails...we've known each other from a long time....so I stay with the good and toss the bad...lol Take care and many blessings!! Edna Hi Matt,
