I'm a sucker for good marketing, literally!

But then, why, why, why do the vast majority of good sales pitches produce the most lousy products?

This is the third WSO I bought and in which I came out a LOSER (sorry for the rant, but it has to come out) after being nicely surprised by the sales pitch.

Here I am, having paid and being left with a .PDF that has NO VALUE whatsoever, not in terms of content or helpful information.
