Hi Lee. Well, you've made a start, although I dont have email notification from you as at 10.30am gmt that the videos are ready to upload. I'll wait.

As I said to you months ago before everything went pear shaped, a syllabus is really important for marketing. We all paid up front based on unspecified content. Our membership sites though will only thrive if " we tell'em what we're gonna tell 'em, then tell, em. Or in Frank Kerns vernacular: This is what I've got. This is what's in it for you. And this is how you get it.

Until we have a content plan from you to cover the next six months at least, we will be at a major disadvantage.

I really to hope that when you conceived your idea for this business you had an idea in your head as to what the content would be "Over the years Andrew Fox and I have been testing high-converting techniques" and werent just planning to wing it and hoping to get away with it.

PLEASE let's have the monthly content plan which you said you were going to deliver.

LOok forward to seeing the new content when it arrives.

Cheers, and keep it up.

Peter

Hi Peter (and everyone else following this thread)--

The next installment content was delivered just now by e-mail. If for some reason you haven't received it yet, please e-mail support (at) marketingquickies3.com and let me know, and I will check on that for you.

Peter, the intention was never to 'wing it and hope we'd get away with it' - this is a monthly membership site, and like most membership sites, the content has a structured outline that will be filled in more clearly as the content is actually produced.

I was never intending to creating a syllabus at the start - nor was one ever assumed. Again, this is a membership site... not many publishers will have a plan for what they'll be writing 11 months from now!

However, due to the delays of late, it's clear a syllabus will not only help introduce the upcoming content, but also firm-up the delivery schedule in everyone's mind so they know what to expect, and when.

A full syllabus will be included in the next installment, now that content has been delivered and a delivery schedule has been included along with that.

Look to the e-mail for the dates associated with those - in short, this is my full-time job until all 12 instalments have been delivered AHEAD of schedule. These delays will not be repeated - I will see to that.

Best, -Lee

Hi Lee,

I'm sorry to hear about your personal problems, I hope everything worked out ok in the end. Let me know if I can do anything to help.

As for MQ3, I must admit I was very disappointed with all the delays and pretty much lost interest and haven't promoted it yet.

I did get the latest email, so thanks for that.

It's a shame when things get screwed up like this and I'm sure you're as pissed about it as we are, so I'm happy to accept your apology and hope you keep the commitments from here on out.

I know how life can get in the way of things sometimes and although with MQ1 I never did get all of the completed elements either, there was still a lot of value there and I still made money so it's all good.

Now that you're back on the horse and supporting this product, I might give it some attention again, it seems a shame to waste the money but I do have other things that have become a priority now since I all but gave up on this getting sorted.

It's good of you to come to the forum and stand behind your product and promises - thanks for that.

Andy

Hey. Has anyone received Month 3 content yet?

Peter Merrifield

NO! I emailed Lee yesterday. No reply today. Originally he said 23rd, too! Let's hope the content is worth it and that the delay isn't bad news again.

jordel

Got the new content email too..

I have a question guys... i just logged to my admin panel(MQ3) and i found that some free members were deleted... is there any time limit for free accounts or is just my problem?

thanks!

Hi Jorge

Have not noticed this problem with my MQ3.
Will have another look to make sure.

Brad Smith

Hi Guys
Does anyone know how to get into the control panel as I want to set up a blog with my MQ3 site. I went to www.websitesettings.com which is the website hosting control panel but could not see any thing there?. Any thoughts any one?

TGC

This has been an expensive learning experience for me. Judging from the responses in this thread, I'm not alone. It's also taught me the essential value of responding to people who have given you their money.

For their own sakes, I do hope Messrs. Benson and Fox can do something to repair their professional reputations.

TGC

Mike Aslin

Just refund the freakin money Lee - Maybe I can divide it up among the people who feel like I've screwed them.
BTW - you're still not answering support messages .. way to try to make things right!

-Mike

Peter Merrifield

Hi Lee, I've sent you a couple of messages this week re delivery of month 5 content. No reply - and its Oct 1 and no content - as yet, anyway. When do you plan to make the content for this month available and can you explain why it's late? Your members have to explain why they are late to their members as a consequence, you know.

Peter

Peter Merrifield

Heh forum members - have you all given up and gone to sleep? Has anyone had the next (October) installment of content from Lee Benson for Marketing Quickies, or has he ecountered more "personal problems" which are yet again preventing him from delivering contracted content?

Or has he just taken the money and gone sailing, hoping the contract will just go away?

jordel

Hi There,

Does anyone know how i can reset the script...Some one hacked to my site and deleted members,folders and more...

I think this is happening because someone think my site is actually Lee Benson's.
I got a few nasty emails!!!

This is crazy! any help?

Talk soon,
Jorge

Peter Merrifield

Jorge, that's a bad thing that's happened to you and sorry to hear it. My site isnt active (suspicious of continued delivery of content) but you could maybe contact Mosso and ask them if they have backups, or post a requirement bid to elance.com.

Hope you get restored. I've been pestering Lee Benson at support but he seems to have run away again. Also you could could try getting in touch with Andrew Fox: stuart@launchaproduct.com seems to find him.

Peter

Peter Merrifield

Just an update; my last post got zapped by Pearson as disputes have to be resolved outside the forum. Fair enough; just trying to keep everyone up to date. Has anyone tried to get in touch with Lee over month 5? The content hasnt arrived.

GamerGirlShy

I sent out an email about Month 5's content about a week ago and no response yet.

Roger Fong

From all the problems that you guys are having, Why would Lee and Andrew be doing a relaunch of MMQ3 this upcoming Wednesday? Don't get it?

AllanWM

I noticed that MQ3 is being relaunched on Wednesday.

To all that purchased previously, have ALL the issues been addressed and fixed to your satisfaction?

Thanks.

st0rm

BUYERS BE WARE!!!! stay away from this launch!! I still have not received month 5 Content like everyone else and they are now trying to relaunch this product again...

EDIT PLEASE PLEASE avoid any negative comments about any specific people here. I would hate to have this thread pulled because it got out of control. It's important for potential buyers to have access to these opinions from various Warriors.

Thanks

Pearson

Roger Fong

Jeremy G. said that he talked to Lee and Andrew Fox last week and they
promised that ALL customers will be taken care of promptly and content will
arrive in time. Here's an email that they provided if you want to contact Lee or
Andrew Fox: help@marketingquickies3.com

Ineta

I was about to buy into marketing quickies 3, but read terms and conditions. Well, the close on 'Indemnity' is what stopped me in tracks and made me look around the forum for a bit. The first paragraph in particular:

"You agree that neither Magnetic Consultants LLC or its owners, employees, associates, freelancers, affiliates or anyone who works for Magnetic Consultants LLC or is in any way connected to the company, accept any responsibility for the delivery of the product, its promotion, or any service connected to its ongoing functionality or maintainence."

I would say, in combination with the comments above, it's a 'no buy' for me. Pitty...

jordel

Do not buy that product!...I just can't believe they dare to relaunch it

my 2 cents...
Jorge

Mike Aslin

I have to agree. Why are they re-launching MQ3 without fixing the problems with current members - at lest responding to our emails.

Here's a thought - contact everyone that sends a promo to you, and tell them of your problems with the product ... tell them to check the forums - especially this one - before they get involved.

BTW that's a nice shot of Lee in our pool - don ya think?

st0rm

I cannot belive that they have suckered so many of their old JV partners into this to try and sell it again..

Sickning thing about this is the email say they personally vouch for the product... WHAT ARE They AT!!?

people hitting there lists are

Chris Day Job Killer
Micheal Chaney..

pavionjsl

If you release a product and your asking for peoples hard earned money, scrambling to get it right is wrong. We should get "it" and from previous sharing of info understand who has a plan and a good product and those that don't.

esriggins

I was about to purchase MQ3, in fact I had filled in my credit card numbers and decided to google MQ2 and see if any negative press was around. I should have checked here first. Can I assume that the trials and tribulations are continuing? Still, I am tempted to take a chance since they have 4 months of content in the bank, I will be coming from behind and should not be affected by the delays like you unfortunates on the bleeding edge of this mess. Any thoughts on this strategy? I am new to the game and would be grateful to advice from those more experienced.

esriggins

EDIT: What I am questioning here is: are there issues with the software itself, hosting, payment processing, posting content, etc.? I believe I did read somewhere that there was supposed to be a member forum included and that was missing? Was everything eventually delivered as promised with the exception of the delayed content videos?

Peter Merrifield

Thanks to Roger Fong for the new email address. Here is the text of an email sent to that address today. Pearson, (edit) I am trying to stay within forum rules. Please let me know if this needs revision. Peter




Lee, Andrew.

You are relaunching MQ3. How and when do you propose to deliver the outstanding 7 months of content you collected $997 for in advance from people who bought Marketing Quickies 3 from you earlier this year?

Michael Cheney has thrown his weight in with you on this launch. So has Jeremy Gislason. Others, no doubt.

In the interests of supporting and encouraging integrity in the internet marketing community, this email to you has been posted to the warrior forum and will be blogged, as will your response.

Peter

BGdurham

Hi

forgive me but i am new here (1st post) and i have to ask! surely if all the guys listed here have had so many aleged problems or maybe it's just one problem i am unsure, then how can these guys get all the big names involved when aleged problems exist?

i have had 5 different people punting MQ3 to me, do these guys not check this forum or other places before putting there names to it? i don't know the answers can anyone enlighten me ? or at the end of the day is it all about money! being new to the internet seems to be a dangerous position so i think i will be doing lots more checking here and other places before parting with my pennies

worried newbie!

Peter Merrifield

In response to ersriggins EDIT query, the software and site worked fine in month 1. I dont know about a forum. Support stopped in the first month, and new content failed to arrive (contracted delivery was three videos per month) during months two and three, causing members serious problems with non-delivery to those who had launched their membership sites and had paying customers.

Lee Benson eventually replied to members of this forum with an apology that seemed sincere and a personal commitment to resume deliveries and complete the contract (twelve months delivery of three videos per month).

He delivered months 2 3 and 4 on time, but since then has disappeared, only to resurface with a relaunch of MarketingQuickies 3 in association with Andrew Fox, as before.

What members of this forum require of Lee Benson is a resolution to the problem of nondelivery of content which he contracted to provide. Perhaps he plans to give existing customers access to the new content, but as he has stopped communicating with paying customers at present we have no idea.

That is the best summary I can give; others may wish to amend or revise it or add their own comments.

Studio525

How are things going now with MQ3. I know the reviews have been terrible on the Forum. I wonder if anything changed. The product sounds really good. But from what I've read on the Forum, the delivery is pretty much non-existent.
Have things changed? Did they start to deliver?
Has anyone gotten their money back?
Have they started to deliver the videos?
They're still promoting the package now.
I wonder if they've gotten their act together.
Anybody?

Peter Merrifield

Well well! A while back I posted a link to the new helpdesk set up to support new members of the relaunched MQ3, and sent an email myself asking what would be provided to existing members. I had an email from Tony Sinclair, Lee's support guy for the first month on the last launch, which looks positive. I'm just waiting for his agreement to post his reply here on the forum.

Whether Lee will do any better on his commitment to deliver twelve contracted months this time than he did last time, to my mind, is an unknown quantity and a judgment call for any readers of this forum to make for themselves.

BGdurham

Hi again guys
thanks urbanfox, you seem to have your finger firmly on the pulse of MQ3 which is fantastic for all the folks in this thread.
I joined Warrior because it was recomended and i was looking for a "ready made" deal for a membership site as i do not have the skills to create one and the outsource option as i understand from friends is sometimes a bit of a minefield, so when i saw MQ3 i thought it was my birthday or maybe i had a grown up tooth fairy but boy am i pleased i came in here before i made any decisions.
Now when you guys report that hapiness is in abundance with the MQ3 team and product delivery is good then maybe i can start making some of my dreams come true but i will be watching for those positive remarks from UrbanFox and Co before i make any moves.
thanks just for being there guys!

Peter Merrifield

Thanks for the note BG Durham. Yes, I have made quite an effort with MQ3 - issues of integrity are important in the online trading/internet marketing space. I now have Tony Sinclair's agreement to post his reply to me, below. Anyone who who purchased MQ3 originally and wants to resume posting the new content to their sites can contact Tony Sinclair at the email address given. (last time Tony was in the chair, his responses to emails were always timely, although it was evident that he did not always know what Lee planned to do (or not do). Let's all hope it's works this time round.

Subject: RE: Existing MQ3 customers

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your email.

Lee has month 5 to upload with the new MQ3

sites that we're getting online now. Existing

users will receive the next installment imminently,

with the following installments to come within

the 12 months as contracted at point of sale.


The content will be delivered by email, as usual.

I just received Month 5 Content today.... lets hope this is the end to the messing and that lee starts to take this seriously again

hi
i have got my marketing quickies 3 site up and running. i am trying to get some free content out to everyone so they can see what kind of stuff mq3 contains

st0rm

These guys are having a great xmas laughing at everyone that put faith into them and hard earned cash.... still no content from these guys...

I hope they get what they deserve

Peter Merrifield

You know, Andrew Fox and Lee Benson had the nerve to "relaunch" Marketing Quickies 3 after the last scam. We have no way of knowing how many people bought into the relaunch, although Chris Fox, Andrew Fox's brother and a guy I've bought quite a lot of stuff from, did promote it to his list. I didn't see it come in from many of the other guys with big lists who promoted the first one, so lets hope the word about non-performance is out there where it counts.

I sent an email to Tony Sinclair who was there in the first launch asking where the content was, and he said "Lee is working on it but there is no ETA". Maybe the launch bombed and there aren't enough members left to make it worth his while.

Who knows.

T9mothy

Let us keep the negative comment's like scam, etc. out of this, please.
The videos are great quality. Being late was/is huge! I agree. However,
as long as this keeps unfolding and the most excellent quality continues...
I can deal.

Whipping the rest out within the 'years' time is a big enchilada hanging
out there for Lee Benson. But still, I'm more concerned with receiving
the rest of a high quality product (and maybe even some nice surprises)
more than I am with having Lee finish inside of a year. Hey, the On-Time
Schedule Train left the station a while ago.

So, I think we continue to let him know that we're chomping at the bit
and wait for the results... He knows the score, we know the score.
Now, let's encourage Lee Benson to stay well so that he can continue
to create those nice high quality killer video's.

Peter Merrifield

T9mothy, I think your sentiments are noble. But If you set up a membership site on the back of contracted delivery from the MQ3 people, and you fail to deliver contract to your members, they are going to come back and give you a hard time, and demand refunds. Not a good business model, in my view.

Membership sites are big business, and I take great exception to being offered "new monthly content" for my subscription, and none arriving. As far as I am concerned, that is breach of contract. I always contact the provider if they don't deliver what they say they will and give them first option to maintain a working relationship, but if I don't get a refund I take it up with Clickbank or my card company. I've had to do this on no less than three occasions this year with three different membership sites in addition to MQ3 and have got my refund on all counts.

Regards to all, and have a good time out there!

Brad Smith

Earth to Lee Benson ??????????????????????????????

GamerGirlShy

So...has anyone gotten anymore content since October? I'm getting fed up with the waiting. Since April we've gotten 5 months of content or so and lagging behind much. This is no way to do business, Lee and Andrew. I'm getting enough mailings of Andrew trying to promote new "schemes" and it's frustrating the heck out of me.

P.S. Happy New Year all!

Brad Smith

HiAll
Here is an email that I sent to Andrew Fox hoping that I would get a response seeing that I cannot get one from Lee Benson.
But I was wrong, I still get other promotions from him but as yet has not replied to this.
Hey Andrew

I bought the first round of the MQ3 product and have been having
a few problems with the content being sent to us each month.
Lee posted on the Warrior Forum that he would fix the problem
and even gave us his word that it would all be fixed.
The last email from him with the content for download was
27-10-09.
As you are involved with this project would you be able to get this sorted
please.
We all paid in good faith and all we want is what we paid for.
I would have thought that reputation is everything especially on the internet?

Thanks Brad Smith

I too get promotions from Andrew Fox from time to time. The most recent one is reproduced below, as it gives a link to provide online feedback from anyone who had bought products from him in the past. I received a "Thankyou" from andrew@launchaproduct.com for the feedback I submitted re MQ3 so if you want to contact Andrew Fox Directly that seems to be a valid email address.

His brother Chris Fox is still offering MQ3 memberships as a bonus for signing up for his Google Terminator (actually rather good), although I have made it clear to him that promoting this product when users are not receiving content they had paid for was a Very Bad Thing Indeed.

Here's the email from Andrew Fox. If the "Click Here" link stays live that will take you to the online feedback site.

Keep up the pressure all.

Hey ,

I need your feedback here... I've got something
pretty massive planned for 2010 and need help
from my super loyal customers.

I can't reveal the exact details yet...

But.... if you can help me you will be rewarded
greatly.

Here's the lowdown. As many of you know I've
been teaching marketing for nearly ten years -
yep a full decade!

I've had a ton of great feedback from the various
products I've created over the years... and I'm in
the process of making my best one yet.

Now I have one very *specific* question...

I'm looking for customers who have used my
tactics in the past to help promote either.

1) Their own products

or

2) Affiliate Products.

Now I realize Peter you lead a busy life
and appreciate you taking the time to do this.

So for any success story I use I'll give you
$500 for your time plus a copy of the my new
product for fre.e

Sound fair?

Plus you would be doing me a big favour.

If you've made just a few extra dollars, quit
your job or went on to great things I WANT
to hear from you.

From small to big everything counts.

Looking forward to reviewing them!

Take Care,

Peter Merrifield

Hi - What date was that sent, Brad?

Anyway, here's an update from Andrew Fox directly which came in on 11th Jan. Talk about a lame excuse for not delivering content on a membership site - hardly a simple oversight! Let's see if Lee delivers.

Peter,

Just a quick note about Marketing Quickies 3
Content.

When I sent out a recent survey to gain feedback
about some of my previous products, a few of you
wrote in and thought MQ3 content had been
delayed.

The thing is though... ALL MQ3 content is available
for you to download and give to your subscribers
right now

However Lee and I made the mistake of not
emailing you once a month explaining how to
access the content.

Lee is now writing out a 'step by step' plan of how
you grab you content every month and we will
email you about it in the next few days.

Sorry for the confusion.
Talk to you soon ,

Andrew Fox

Ultimate Results Ltd, Callendar street, belfast, CO DOWN bt19 7dt, UNITED KINGDOM

GamerGirlShy

You beat me to posting that. My reaction was "yeah right." Anyways, let's see what happens and hopefully we get what we paid for.


Side Question. Is it possible to right the expenses off for MQ3 and the website costs if I didn't take in any revenue from it? If so anyone know what tax form (I'm American) would we use to do so?

tch2all

Does anyone have a way of contacting Lee Benson about these problems as the support email that I have been using is not working or they just don't want to respond.

Does anyone remember what hosting company we paid for our membership through, as they are going to be charging us again soon, and I want to know how much it is going to cost to keep the website up and running before I decide to keep in going?

Also, does anyone know the process of how to cancel this membership website?

I can't seem to be able to contact anyone about my concerns.

Thank you,

tch2all
