This is REDICULAS !

why can't we ask for help with our WSO here ?

[David Raybould]

Um... no. Not really.

And I think making posts like this is
probably the quick route to getting
yourself banned.

If you want to get better at writing
copy, read some books. It's not our
responsibility to fix your WSO just
because you're a war room member.

I'm a war room member too. Will you
paint my house?

Dude, seriously- whining, entitlement-
ridden threads are NOT the way to get
help.

There's a way to ask for help without it looking like self promotion which is against the rules.

A simple, "Hey could someone take a look at my copywriting and let me know what you think - I'll send via PM" is much better than "Hey I've got a WSO running *here*, could you look at it and tell me what you think?"

There's a difference there. Maybe it might've been better had you asked for assistance before spending money for a WSO to ensure that it was up to par beforehand.

This is by far the absolute best forum around and even $80 spent far undervalues the knowledge and friendships you can gain here.

Good luck.

Here's a prediction: This thread will also be deleted. If you have issues with the forum you need to take it up with Admin. This isn't going to get you anywhere. Good luck.

You've gotten your money's worth x 10 for
your War Room membership.

The copywriting material in the WR is excellent.

Your WSO is struggling... well, get in line!

There's nearly 200,000 members and several
thousand active at any hour of the day, 7 days
a week.

Many of them ALSO have WSO's that aren't
exactly flying off the shelf they way they'd
hoped they would.

What would happen if everyone felt obliged
to start a new thread in the CW forum linking
to their WSO and asking for free critiques?

THAT would be ridiculous.

Sorry that your start here has been bumpy.

It gets better... promise.

Just don't sweat the petty things or pet the
sweaty things and you'll be alright.

Good luck,

hey David,

Bit of a stretch. This IS a copywrite forum so I think asking for help with copywrite should be relavant here.

Painting your house is labour, not a question...
and it is not related to copywrite at all,
so I think that was a bad example.

I'm new here, and I didn't see ANY rules about posting a thread asking for help with WSO.

I DID check first you know !

I'm not " whining " I just am not happy that all I've got so far for my $80
is mocked, harrassed, and deleted threads,
but anything saying stuff against me is left up.

I have only been politely asking for help in this forum,
and not getting any. Just harrassed.

except for Teresa here,

thank you Teresa.

[Vendor-Lock]

Thanks Brian.

I needed that little boost.

I see your point about the links.
but could there not be a section in this forum specifically for help
with WSO then ?

that would be helpful.

cheers.

The time to ask for a product or copy review is BEFORE you have your WSO running on the forum.

When you have a WSO that is live - trying to discuss it is viewed as a promotion. If a thread is deleted, not a good idea to start another thread on the same topic.

Consider it a learning experience and it will help you plan better next time.

Another way to ask for WSO help would be to put up a web page which is simply a product sales page (and don't mention WSO or warriors on it) then get critiques. Once you are sure it is a good sales page - then offer it as a WSO, with a new sales button on the WSO page - that is a discount on the ordinary sales page you have had critiqued.

I can understand why you are a bit upset - I'm sure most of us can! But I am glad to see you have calmed down a bit - and replaced you original post in this thread.

Get yourself a large cup of a soothing beverage and take a look through the war room - I'm sure you will find it worth the money. Meanwhile you may find a warrior or two will take the trouble to look up your WSO and give you a few comments.

All the best
