rapidcontentwizard - let down

449 replies
So there I was all excited waiting for Sean’s email for the early bird dicount rapidcontentwizard it looked interesting.

First the email turned up late and then no matter how many times I tried – the dam system would not take my money.

Not so well managed Sean and I feel a bit ripped and it can wait now

    Same here!
    There was supposed to be a 50% discount for those on the early bird list.
    Now that the deadline for the discount has passed, will that discount still be honoured if we still buy through the discount link!!!???

      It's up to $30 plus now - I would have thought if anyone would have done a good job it would be Sean

        I had emails from a number of promoters.
        I have been trying all of them, and not a single link is working.
        At least getting as far as PayPal is something!!!!

          Even Seans own link is not working!!
          All links are reporting various server problems.

          Does anyone know what the early bird price was?
          And what price is showing now?
          Thanks.

      There was a server crash due to many people going into that link.

      So to make it up, Sean decided to extend the deadline. I am not sure whether the deadline has passed at this time I posted here, but you can give it a try again through the same early bird discount link.

      When I tried refreshing the page after an hour or so, the discount price tag was gone and replaced by the full price. But I still bought and gave it a try.

    I was on the early bird list for a 50% discount and tried a dozen times and paypal kept saying that one of the receivers could not receive payments at this time. I just tried again 2 minutes after launch and it works perfectly fine accept that the price has doubled.

      I really hate this type of marketing.

      Why not just put the 2 prices up and allow us to choose which version we want. I just wanted to get the unlimited version (the basic version is useless..just for a couple of sites!).

      Why should I buy the basic version and then buy the unlimited version in an upsell..it's like buying the basic version twice!

      I don't even know the price of the upsell... when will this stuff end?

        I would have to agree, I had to pay $14 for the basic and another $47 for the platinum, having two versions is simply ridiculous.

      I too have been on the early bird list and have had a frustrating time since the early opening was supposed to have happened, i would hope that sean will honour all of us that were on his early bird list.
      I am still getting emails from affiliates sending me to a "this server has moved" message.
      I would like to know the price for the full version without restrictions, i hate hidden OTO's.

      It would be nice if Sean, or someone in the know, would put there head in here and let us know what is going on but I guess they are busy trying to get it all up again.

      Don't blame Sean, Sh!t happens to all of us and I don't suppose this is what he planned for the launch.
      He's probably desperately waiting for the new server DNS to propogate through the net.

      Clint


      UPDATE

      I am getting annoyed though with the emails that keep coming through from affiliates.
      I have just had one that said the server fried and that it was back up again and that I should go straight over there and ..guess what, it still goes to the page that says the server has moved!

      Can I have my 50% discount please Sean?
      And please don't just give us another hour, I'm sure I am not the only one that cannot afford to sit watching the computer in case this comes back up again.

    I managed to buy it and I've reached the download area, finally, but I'm a bit disappointed.

    I haven't been able to reach the upgrade to platinum page - I just keep getting directed to what they call Step 4 where I am able to upgrade to Developer level. I'm not really interested in that. I'd think about upgrading to platinum, however, so that I can use it on more than four sites.

    Hi Guys,

    Just as a heads up guys we did have a COMPLETE server meltdown this morning due to DEMAND. We moved the server to a more powerful box and we are all good now.

    We just sent out emails to let everyone know and we even put in a extra bonus plugin into the members area worth $97 to make up for any hassles people had.

    This set records for us and we have 1000s of customers who are rocking away. If you have ANY issues contact our team at AGB Marketing Group, LLC. - Powered by Kayako Fusion Help Desk Software and our team is waiting to help ANYONE who had any problems ordering or getting upgrades etc.

    We cannot offer support here but DO make sure you contact us if you have any problems and we will make sure you get access...

    Also, if you were on the EARLY BIRD list we just mailed out a new link that will expire at 6PM EST... So Jump on that NOW if you were on that list and check your email NOW...

    All the best

    Sean

        Seans Early Bird link still NOT working for me!
        Is the $14 price on a dimesale, or is it increasing until 6PM EST?
        What will the price then be at 6PM EST?

        Presumably the Early Bird Price is for the basic product, with upgrades being full price?
        Can't build much of an Empire on 4 sites, so what are the upgrades and how much?

        Can't help thinking a launch like this is worth the stress, might as well let the dust settle and see if anyone is offering worthwhile bonuses!

        Any answers or thoughts?
        Thanks

        Then it has not quite finished propagating the new server, give it a little while longer and you should be good...

        Like I say, we did an emergency server relocation and we did what we could as fast as we could to get everyone back on track... However, we will make sure everyone is taken care of.

            Hi Linda,
            I noticed your are addressing SEAN.D personally. FYI, he will not be coming to this thread to offer support so you won't(I doubt) receive any direct assistance here.

            I don't know when you last requested a refund from him, but Fusion support is "usable" I did get thru to them.

            Their system appears to delete the user(if you login) when asking for a refund, which makes it harder to get back to them(they deleted my "fusion support" 3 times which meant I had to copy the older requests(I always save a copy in notepad) and paste them in(including the older support ticket ID numbers). That was a pain in the B... but finally, they did return the money.

            ON the second attempt, they tried to bribe me into taking a "free plugin" to compensate for the troubles instead of refunding...what a farce, but I demanded the refund and told them not send any more deviating emails.

            If nothing else works, you'll have to file a PayPal Dispute.

            Can't offer any more help than that.....hope you succeed

            Cheers

          Wait. What??

          When I read the OTO page, I could have sworn it said the upgrade was for unlimited websites and unlimited campaigns.

          EDIT: Here's a portion of the OTO page:

          Imagine being able to post to UNLIMITED sites and create UNLIMITED campaigns and then create UNLIMITED High-Value, Authority links to your own private link network as well?
          Where did you get your 50 limit from?

          EDIT 2: Looks like that OTO IS for the Platinum Plus. I'm at a loss as to how I ended up with just Platinum.

          EDIT 3: The OTO sales letter confuses the issue by using the term "Platinum" in some places and "Platinum Plus" in others -- for the same purchase.

            Geezz... Can someone help me out here.... I need a license that includes unlimited domains and unlimited campaigns... I need to be able to flip the site and I don't care if the plugin stays or I remove it.... as long as the content remains intact with the plugin gone.

            I don't want to say that cost is not an issue.... but... the plugin has no value to me if it doesn't have those features...and I don't want to waste any time or money.... working my way through the funnel just to figure it out.

            Can anyone tell me if this even possible and how much it will cost?

    based on the fact that you only get 4 sites on the gold.

    hey Guys! I just thought I would toss in my 2 cents. Those of you that are being a bit impatient....I have been lucky enough to have used this product for several weeks and I can tell you that you would be kicking yourself later if you bail on this because of the server crash! What I love most about this product is it is adaptable for just about any way of creating content. If you are a marketer online and you understand the crucial nature of creating content, you will quickly realize not having this in your toolbox is like not having a hammer and a screwdriver. It will cut your content creation times by 50-99% in my opinion. I personally use it for creating top quality content on my main blogs by pulling the content then doing a quick manual edit and posting.
    Regardless of the server bump Sean and Alan you guys have outdone yourselves on the product! I would not run my business online without this tool. WOW I guess I had 3 cents to toss in

What I love most about this product is it is adaptable for just about any way of creating content. If you are a marketer online and you understand the crucial nature of creating content, you will quickly realize not having this in your toolbox is like not having a hammer and a screwdriver. It will cut your content creation times by 50-99% in my opinion. I personally use it for creating top quality content on my main blogs by pulling the content then doing a quick manual edit and posting.
      Regardless of the server bump Sean and Alan you guys have outdone yourselves on the product! I would not run my business online without this tool. WOW I guess I had 3 cents to toss in

      Well Put Scott! For all the impatient ones... Relax okay! This is an AMAZING software and I have had the pleasure of using it as well for a few weeks and it has made life so much easier! :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: :rolleyes: Unfortunately things happen... Server crashed which is expected I mean we had HUNDREDS of People rocking this thing out NONSTOP since it opened its doors.. But with a bit of Patience Sean and Alan, who have worked their BUTTS off to bring you guys this product will have this thing running in no time! You will be so pleased when you get to use it! If you haven't already! So have a GREAT Monday Funday!

    Does Early Bird discount apply on the Upgrades?

    Sean --

    The sales page says to "watch this short video..." but there is no video at all on the page. Maybe this is a result of quickly standing up another server?

    The first upsell to Platinum is $47 and then there is another one at $67. Also a $1 offer to the Inner circle which is then $47 a month. I bought it and there are a few things you may need as well like proxies and API keys and accounts for the sites the software uses. Not quite as one click as it would appear. I wasn't on the early bird list

    I do agree with dblues, the two prices should be displaced and let buyers make the choice. I have lot of sites and so I am more interested in the unlimited version.
    How much does the unlimited version cost?

      What I do not understand
      Is how did some of you guys get thru

      I have been waiting since 11:00AM
      and the early bird email did arrive but know
      way to get in do to server issues.

      I got another email saying the link to the early bird is good
      to 6Pm but still not working because of server issues but this should have
      been one price it is rather useless for for 4 sites.

      But it s good for the vendor to sale you this this way
      so for now on I am not buying any of these products
      unless it comes from warrior forum or Fso Forum.

        Sam, I can't be sure, but earlier when I couldn't get in, I had to open a clean fresh browser and clear my cache, then it worked fine. That "might" have been your problem.

      I'm one of those few lucky people who got a chance to beta test the program.

      Because of the launch I've had to do without it for almost 2 weeks. I don't know how I have survived! I never realized how much I had come to depend on it both for my content and my marketing. I was stunned to realize I had to go back to "real work".

      Sean and Alan are 2 of the best, most honest people in the industry. They won't let you down. Be patient. Once you have RCW, your business will change forever and all this will be forgotten!

    Hello all,
    I wanted to say that I have had the very first copy outside of Alan and Sean and it works just fine. So, I wanted to make sure that people would know that this is not some piece of crap thrown together, rather it is a software that has taken many months in progression to build. Alan is from the US and he built this all himself.

    We have been testing this RCW for months now, and making suggestions and giving feedback to Alan for what we would like to see. He did his best to accommodate all of us and make this one heck of a software kit to use in your business.

    I know the server blew up and with it went any discount scripts that were in place or any other upgrade levels and links. Please be patient with these guys as this launch was planned out for intents and purposes as a no glitch launch. The hosting company that had the website used to be fairly good, but as some of you know it seems that lately this particular hosting outfit has went down the toilet, I dumped them myself last month. It was just bad luck of the draw to have so many people hit the server at once that it went down. All preparations were made long ago to handle traffic levels, but it was not enough.

    Things are getting back to normal with the product availability and you all will get taken care of for sure, Alan is a good man and is honest.

    Thanks for being patient with them,

    Jim

    If you had a problem with the Early Bird here is what we will do... Contact AGB Marketing Group, LLC. - Powered by Kayako Fusion Help Desk Software and give them your email that was registered on the early bird list. They will check you were on the list and then arrange for your discount.

    That is the best way we can handle that now. We did re-open it for 3 hours instead of one hour and many people got it fine. However, some people did miss out due to servers not propagating fast enough in their areas.

      That's mighty decent of you, thanks Sean and Alan

      I got the new link but for me it was just completely dead, I didn't even get the "moving" message that some were getting.

      Guess what, submitted a ticket as soon as i saw your post, still waiting for a reply...
      Anyway, by all accounts it falls very, very short of all the hype and claims
      so tell your guys over at the No-Support desk not to bother....

      PS. Must rank as one of the most inept launches ive ever witnessed...

    All good things in life are worth waiting for, I have Rapid Content Wizard, and believe me it's worth waiting for. Whatever price you end up paying, it will still be a bargain. It's going to save you a lot of hours, which should equate to a lot of money saved, unless you don't value your time... Get excited, it's a great product and great products cause server problems due to demand. If there was no demand and no server issues...I don't think I would buy the product.

    Launched the program, first impressions were pleasant. I have not used all the features, but articles are made, Amazon, YouTube works. The program has a nice interface. If everything is working as a statement, then I vote for the purchase of this product. However, I had not a very pleasant relationship with Sean's products in the past. I hope everything will work

      Why can't these guys just be up front with what we are getting for the price.
      This happens with a lot of WSO's.
      It is so frustrating to spend $30+ to find that more money has to be spent to make any real use of the program.
      I for one am really p****d off with this form of marketing.
      What a disappointment - lucky for me I checked this forum before wasting any money.

        I second that. I love stuff that does not have a OTO. It's the pits when you buy something, and in the pitch for the OTO, they make it sound like what you bought is crap and you are a fool for buying it. Not saying that is the case here, not intentionally anyway. But this form of marketing needs to go away! Can't marketers see that it leads a bad taste in customers' mouths?

    I never saw the OTO. All sorts of funny things happened and eventually I found a page that said step 4 of 4 and asked me to register.

    There's an opportunity to upgrade in the members' area but for $54.99 and it includes Syndication Rockstar. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to explore the OTO.

    Chris, first of all, it's not a plugin. It's a desktop app that generates content that can be auto posted to your blog. So, you're fine selling your site. This tool has nothing to do with that.

    The standard version seems to allow you to post to 4 sites. I had the impression the OTO upgraded you to unlimited sites. Poster above says only 50. I've left a ticket to find out for sure.

            It will run on the mac, but you need to use VMWare or Parallels to run this on a Mac which allows the Mac to run Windows software. Sean actually runs this on his Mac and Mac Laptop with no problems at all.

          I hear you! And don't think that I don't appreciate your advice. But... ... that makes it seem like a secret. Why make it difficult for me to spend my money? That just seems silly.

          I can see no reason that they should want me to bog down their support system with an answer they could provide here... and on the sales page for that matter.... once! I find it hard to believe that anyone waiting on the resolution of a "real" support issue would want them spending time on this.

          Now that I have gotten that off my chest.... Thanks! I really do appreciate your thoughts.

          Cheers,

              LOL.... Thanks Keith. I feel bad, as i wasn't trying to create a stir. Just trying to avoid another "go do". I have enough of those in my life already and I imagine everyone else does too.

              On the "official thread note".... I didn't really expect an answer from Sean and company. I sometimes wonder if the provider is well served by chiming in on these review threads.... sometimes yes.... sometimes no, I guess. In this case, I thought it was reasonable to assume that there might be a happy and loyal user or even an affiliate who knew the answer and could help out.

              It is. I've taken a snap shot for you and made an image link to screencast. 2013-07-15_2326 - Robert.Lang's library

              The result is the Platinum Plus is what you bought for $47 OTO, This was revised after server crash. And the Additional RockStar Plugin was given as a bonus for the inconvenience. See image link here: 2013-07-15_2329 - Robert.Lang's library

              However, I don't think this product will serve the needs of some people, like me for instance. The assumption of RCW is there is an existing volume of web content to curate.

              However, if you are in a niche, where no one has written about it, made videos about it, or created products on Amazon about it, then RWC cannot help you curate what hasn't been created yet.

              Further, the articles are derived from ten article directories. These articles are mostly written around a theme directed at an Author link at the end of the article. Which will provide a product or service related to the article.

              The videos will come form You Tube, the relative products from Amazon, the images from Flickr. It all works. The software works. But only IF there is existing published content on the web. If not, RCW cannot help you.

              There is no need to schedule anything, when there is nothing to curate in the first place. So for myself, the content on the web for my industry, is in the form of advertisements, white papers, and docs. Not articles, videos, or amazon related products. So RCW cannot help me, no matter how solid it is.

              And here is where RCW misses the most obvious choice for content curation: News. Try using RCW of a new drug release approved by the FDA. How about a new stock release? How about curating a hedge fund or bond issue? What about a natural disaster?

              No, RCW cannot help you in these instances. And yet, this is the largest source of what people read on the web. Be it via Twitter or a news agency, such as Google. So if you are thinking RCW will curate the most important aspects of what matters the most to people, it falls short.

              So what can you do now? Easy: You must set up Google alerts, use rss feeds, and pull into your readers, the news which you are looking for. Then copy and paste this into RCW, and use the spinner to create your content. However, most news agencies do not publish on YouTube.

              So what does this mean for you with RCW? You will be using it as a convenience to schedule posts. And it will not help you update content which does not exist in the article directories, such as news, white papers, docs, ect. It retrieves static sources, not dynamic sources. It does not retrieve content from any rss feeds.

              In conclusion: RCW simply assembles pre-existing YouTube videos, Flickr images, articles, and amazon related products, IF they already exist. And then will spin the article content for you, and schedule it for posting. If this is what you are looking for, then RCW is for you.

              SIDE NOTE: While writing this response, I started up RCW, and it hangs on "Loading schedules." Schedules which do not exist in the first place. Here is a video link for you to watch and see it hang: 2013-07-16_0000 - Robert.Lang's library

              My review? RCW is not ready for release, despite the initial two months plus of "beta" testing. I've requested a refund for the $14 and $47. And I have many of this company's products. However, this one is uninstalled now and will not be useful to me, even when the bugs are fixed.

              Back to creating content the hard way for me. Using alerts, rss feeds, news sources, and scheduling posts manually.

              For Alan the writer for RCW, this product would be an improvement capsulating news feeds, permitting users to insert their own rss feeds, and adding their own video sources. Because it's missing a large part of the Internet Community world-wide. The part which is obsessed with news of all sorts.

              And the ability to reference related products as solutions to these news events through not only Amazon. But permit the user to insert their own sites relative to their niches. One example is fire fighting equipment. Or oil drilling platform parts. Same goes for heavy duty truck and farming supplies.

              Once the above bug is worked out and the RCW broadens it's scope and options to permit the rest of the world's industries included in it's tasks; then it will be as useful as Adobe's, Apples, Microsoft's and Link Assistant's Product Lines.

                The result is the Platinum Plus is what you bought for $47 OTO, This was revised after server crash. And the Additional RockStar Plugin was given as a bonus for the inconvenience. See image link here: 2013-07-15_2329 - Robert.Lang's library

                However, I don't think this product will serve the needs of some people, like me for instance. The assumption of RCW is there is an existing volume of web content to curate.

                However, if you are in a niche, where no one has written about it, made videos about it, or created products on Amazon about it, then RWC cannot help you curate what hasn't been created yet.

                Further, the articles are derived from ten article directories. These articles are mostly written around a theme directed at an Author link at the end of the article. Which will provide a product or service related to the article.

                The videos will come form You Tube, the relative products from Amazon, the images from Flickr. It all works. The software works. But only IF there is existing published content on the web. If not, RCW cannot help you.

                There is no need to schedule anything, when there is nothing to curate in the first place. So for myself, the content on the web for my industry, is in the form of advertisements, white papers, and docs. Not articles, videos, or amazon related products. So RCW cannot help me, no matter how solid it is.

                And here is where RCW misses the most obvious choice for content curation: News. Try using RCW of a new drug release approved by the FDA. How about a new stock release? How about curating a hedge fund or bond issue? What about a natural disaster?

                No, RCW cannot help you in these instances. And yet, this is the largest source of what people read on the web. Be it via Twitter or a news agency, such as Google. So if you are thinking RCW will curate the most important aspects of what matters the most to people, it falls short.

                So what can you do now? Easy: You must set up Google alerts, use rss feeds, and pull into your readers, the news which you are looking for. Then copy and paste this into RCW, and use the spinner to create your content. However, most news agencies do not publish on YouTube.

                So what does this mean for you with RCW? You will be using it as a convenience to schedule posts. And it will not help you update content which does not exist in the article directories, such as news, white papers, docs, ect. It retrieves static sources, not dynamic sources. It does not retrieve content from any rss feeds.

                In conclusion: RCW simply assembles pre-existing YouTube videos, Flickr images, articles, and amazon related products, IF they already exist. And then will spin the article content for you, and schedule it for posting. If this is what you are looking for, then RCW is for you.

                I am confused right now, because I have Instant Article Wizard which is also doing like this. One advantage I found in IAW is I can shuffle the topics in the article, here I suspect whether I can do this in RCW. Though IAW is not fast as RCW. Giving a try for single license user.

                  Yes you can do the same with RCW, by checking the LSI KW's which are listed. It will do as you want: "Shuffle". You can also "Laser Target" just one KW, or use LSI, "Related KW's.

                  Not meant to sidetrack. But you might want to check out Wicked Article Creator.

                  Not my link but actual product page.

                  Though it is more costly at $42, it generates far more content from sites ranging from PR3 to 10 and filters out what you don't want. Like article titles and content not related to keywords, content lesser than 500 words and paragraphs less than 4 etc.

                  Best of all, it helps to spin your content not just in text but videos before posting them to the submission tools they have on selection like Senuke, Magic Submitter etc.

                  I got both this and Rapid Content Wizard so I have no shortage of content.

                    I paid for this over 24 hours ago and I have had absolutely nothing to show for it.Replying to their emails didn't help as they all bounced ??
                    Finally I found their so called ticket help system and submitted ticket but hours later nothing from them yet.
                    In many years of purchasing online this is the worst experience I've had mainly due to the fact that I had such difficulty in finding a way to contact anyone.
                    I will wait to see the response from Sean before I comment further.

                Hmm, Looks like the server crash did me a favour and I had a lucky escape, could've wasted some more money on a useless product, I have a hard drive full of those already.

                  Okay, sure, np. However, in most cases, you can just go ahead and make a purchase if you like the product. Most have money back guarantees. And it's how I am able to find out whether a product is useful for my own needs. As well as the software's limitations.

                  Plus in alot of cases, I'm able to document work arounds, and also combine apps together to create new processes, which makes the original software even more valuable. Much like adding a component for a car engine.

                  I wouldn't be able to maximize my software applications, if I didn't make the purchases I have been making for the past ten plus years. Sometimes, the software won't work for me, and in most cases, they do.

                  So you could give it a try after the the bug issue is quickly taken care of. It's not a big one. And you may find RCW may work for you niches. They just don't work for mine.

                SEO Agent I want to thank you so much for this post but I don't know how to do a Thank You here in the Warrior Forum - could you or someone please let me know how?

                I have been through 2 days of hell with this offer!! PayPal errors, Server crashes, Database Not Found errors, Mail Delivery Failure when I tried to ask for help, their support website not even coming up until today, and then all I got was one email from someone that said I should “send money” to their PayPal address and they'll give me access to the software! No price - no guarantee, and again I got "Mail Delivery Failure" when I tried to reply and ask for a clarification.

                I decided to buy the software from their home page - by the way if you X out of the main page you get an offer for a $17 version - Silver. It doesn't do scheduled postings. I bought that and then I bought the OTO for platinum (Unlimited websites & scheduling) for another $27. Then JVZoo showed I had purchased 2 products!

                I downloaded the more expensive Platinum version and it won't work at all!!! As you said it gets stuck on "Loading Schedules" and the only way to get that off your screen is to go into Task Manager (Ctl+Alt+Del) and end "Splash". There was no application running either called Rapid Content Wizard. In Processes, I see Rapid Content Wizard hogging up a huge chunk of memory and using 0% CPU.

                I went to their support website which is a frustrating joke. They told me to login first and rejected my password and made me ask for an email to create a new one, which I created the same as the first one and it accepted it. I submitted a new ticket and so far all I’ve received is another email from Sean telling me to buy Rapid Content Wizard again! I then went to look around to see if I could find the answer myself.


                I clicked on TroubleShooter – there was one choice “General”. I clicked on General and it showed me the word “General” in plain text and that was it! I clicked on KnowledgeBase and it said it was empty! I clicked on News and all it said was that their server was back up and you could buy now!

                I’m mad at myself that I even bought the product (apparently now I’ll have to try to get my money back for TWO products, even though all I did was click to upgrade the first product!) after the mess they produced yesterday and the horrible empty support site they have, but the software looked so convenient I thought it was worth a shot. Thank you SO much though for pointing out that it only pulls from article directories and no news stories – what a waste!!! Everyone please pray for me that these people are honest enough to give me my money back – times are very tough for me now and it took me hours to decide whether to purchase it or not (not to mention hours of trying to click their links and trying to contact them about the $14 bait-and-switch sales price!). I’ve lost almost a full two day’s work now where I could have curated / written my own content instead of dealing with these frustrations!

                  Good I thought at last we might be moving forward but no it is another email telling me why I should buy his bl**dy software.

                  I apologize for the delay. I have set this thread to alert me, but it isn't. I'll try again.

                  1.) To say thanks, click on the "Thanks" black icon at the bottom of any post.

                  2.) Here is why I say "No Support." 3 days have past since I submitted a ticket with complete full PayPal receipts, asking for an immediate refund.

                  After 3 days, (today) I submitted again for the 2nd time, the same thing, refund please. The email in the PayPal receipt had been forwarded to a mobile Verizon address of Alan G. Brown, the developer of RCW. Who is the same man in the demo video (just audio, no visual).

                  How do I know this? Because I received a bounce error from Alan's mobile email address, which stated, "
                  This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

                  A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
                  recipients. This is a permanent error.
                  The following address(es) failed:

                  alan@agbmarketinggroup.com is the PayPal email address of the seller. The entire financial burden is placed on Alan G. Brown. Sean is only a JV of this deal. The proof is in the PayPal Receipt, of whom is directly benefiting from the sale of RCW.

                  What does this mean? It means Alan G. Brown is not providing a phone number and displaying an email address which is not a direct email address for support. You cannot advertise in the sale's receipt an email address and forward it to another email address. Further, you cannot place an email address for "Customer Support:" which returns a SMTP error. (See PayPal's Terms and Conditions of Sale)

                  Today I went to the Support url I had registered at 3 days ago. This is the "Support" url listed in the JVZoo.com sales receipt.

                  My account has been removed. How do I know this? Because the "Lost Password" Feature within the Help Desk Software by Kayako Fusion, has been disabled. Which means, you cannot confirm your password or request a password reset.

                  4.) After receiving a SMTP error from the support email address within the PayPal receipt, and being locked out or removed from the Support url; I proceeded to submit a Dispute Ticket at PayPal. Which goes directly to the seller.

                  However, it will most likely bounce through the same SMTP error as I experienced. Knowing PayPal, they will pick up on this and hopefully suspend the seller's account, as per its Terms and Conditions of Sale. Believe me, it's an easy script to write: "Suspend account if, email address returns error." Here is my Dispute submitted today:

                  1st request - refund through Customer Service URL: AGB Marketing Group - Marketing and SEO Ticket submitted, 3 days later, Acct. removed, no entry! 2nd Request - refund - Customer Service Email:
                  support@agbmarketinggroup.com :A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
                  recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:
                  alangbrown@verizon.net
                  (ultimately generated from alan@agbmarketinggroup.com)
                  SMTP error from remote mail server after initial connection:

                  host relay.verizon.net [206.46.232.11]: 571 Email from 184.172.150.10 is currently blocked by Verizon Online's anti-spam system. The email sender or Email Service Provider may visit Verizon Online and request removal of the block. 130718

                  BOTH support email and url are exhausted. No response from seller! Violation of PayPal's Terms and Condition of Sale! REFUND NOW!
                  Here is the automated PayPal response:
                  Thank you. We’ll email you when the seller responds. If the seller does not respond, your dispute will automatically close on Aug 7, 2013 unless you escalate it to a PayPal claim. Don't worry; we'll email you a reminder before the dispute automatically closes. Please note that when you escalate a dispute to a claim, you're asking PayPal to review the case and decide the outcome.
                  5.) Please note: The Support url within the JVZoo.com sales receipt is not the same support url displayed within the PayPal Sales receipt the support url in the PayPal receipt is as follows: How do I know this? Because after I submitted my PayPal Dispute Report, I checked the url by clicking on it. It brought me of course to an entirely different site, than what was stated in the JVZoo.com Sales Receipt.

                  6.) However, I continued on my quest to reach Alan. I'd rather not contact him through his Skype address, because it seems out of line for me. I wouldn't want people contacting me when I'm coding either. So here is the email address listed on the support url site of the PayPal Sales Receipt: contact@agbmarketinggroup.com

                  Can you guess what happened next?

                  A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
                  recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

                  What does this mean? It means Alan G. Brown is providing an email address within all sales receipts, which is being forwarded to an email address not listed within the PayPal Sales Receipts. Further, being forwarded to an email address which bounces the customer's requests for support.

                  7.) What can you learn from this post?

                  (i) Never buy anything online, without first consulting with other family members who will be affected by your loss in full, of any such said sales transactions.

                  (ii) Always check Warrior Forum's Review Section, bypassing any discounted deals. It's better to pay more and win, than pay less and lose.

                  (iii) Accept your losses and move forward. Pick yourself up, and get on with the real task at hand: Making Money Online.

                  (iv) Always share your purchasing and usability experiences with all products you purchase online, by submitting your review here in the Warrior's Forum. So others like yourselves can benefit and avoid the same wasteful experiences as you have had.

                  This is how warrior's Forum has built itself since 1998. It is it's sole purpose: To help YOU make money online.


                  In the meantime, I will wait a few days before August 17th, to escalate my dispute at PayPal asking for a full refund and receiving my "claim."

                  Now for my own personal review of RCW: It is flawed and broken. There is no support. You will loose alot of your valuable time, you could be doing what you need to do, and a little bit of money. Much like a vending machine, which didn't give you anything, after you put your coins in and the "return" button didn't help much either (Whose hasn't had this happen?).

                  Attention Sean: You name is all over this. Why? Because Alan has claimed, "He has been in your Inner Circle Club and has learned directly from you." Which is why, as I already knew,your $1 Membership Fee was actually a dollar too high.

                  Which by Alan's lessons, he has not even learned [B]the most valuable lesson of all: Always Be Closing! (ABC) This means always be closing! How can you close sales, when you avoid your customers Sean?

                  Attention Alan G. Brown: Please refund all your customers. Contact PayPal and JVZoo.com to make retribution for damages against their good name. To which both companies continue to provide outstanding service.

                  Always face your fears. (AFYF) For you Alan, this means Always Face your Customers! How can you close sales, when you avoid your customers Alan? Forget your RCW issues for a moment Alan; you are in great need of assistance from Senior Warrior Forum Members. As you can see, there is a great deal of difference form being a developer of software and being an Internet Marketer.

                  Here's just one glaring example which will help you out Alan: All successful Internet Marketers have one thing among many in common. They provide refunds within 24 hours after purchase, with zero questions asked. They stand by their claim of 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed. They are always accessible to their customers.


                  Maybe you're learning from the wrong teacher Alan? The Warrior's Forum stands all test of time. Be here everyday, if you are serious about Internet Marketing. Otherwise, stick to what you are good at Alan. And live to win another day. All the best to you my friend. All the best!

                  This may seem strange but I was comforted by your share and to the specifics you provided. I have become so self conscious telling anyone of the endless frustrating buys of software and products from "sellers of the shovels". The anguish in repeated registration cycles, re-applying steps already done ultimately leaving one thing in it's wake, frustration, lack of results and a huge drain on productivity for the time lost and the motivation damage so to speak. It zaps my strength. Currently in the last 4 months I have bought over 30 items on the WF and on the Zoo. I have not had good delivery on most buys, having first time through success in a handful of cases. Over 12 items have been completely not delivered with either no responses, looping registration issues, layered on registration requirements first to submit a ticket, and my favorite -- missing websites. So I am sorry you have had this experience but thank you for sharing it since I felt like you were talking on my behalf, which at-least makes me feel normal and the experiences I have been having are real for others as well...Keith

                The result is the Platinum Plus is what you bought for $47 OTO, This was revised after server crash. And the Additional RockStar Plugin was given as a bonus for the inconvenience. See image link here: 2013-07-15_2329 - Robert.Lang's library

                However, I don't think this product will serve the needs of some people, like me for instance. The assumption of RCW is there is an existing volume of web content to curate.

                However, if you are in a niche, where no one has written about it, made videos about it, or created products on Amazon about it, then RWC cannot help you curate what hasn't been created yet.

                Further, the articles are derived from ten article directories. These articles are mostly written around a theme directed at an Author link at the end of the article. Which will provide a product or service related to the article.

                The videos will come form You Tube, the relative products from Amazon, the images from Flickr. It all works. The software works. But only IF there is existing published content on the web. If not, RCW cannot help you.

                There is no need to schedule anything, when there is nothing to curate in the first place. So for myself, the content on the web for my industry, is in the form of advertisements, white papers, and docs. Not articles, videos, or amazon related products. So RCW cannot help me, no matter how solid it is.

                And here is where RCW misses the most obvious choice for content curation: News. Try using RCW of a new drug release approved by the FDA. How about a new stock release? How about curating a hedge fund or bond issue? What about a natural disaster?

                No, RCW cannot help you in these instances. And yet, this is the largest source of what people read on the web. Be it via Twitter or a news agency, such as Google. So if you are thinking RCW will curate the most important aspects of what matters the most to people, it falls short.

                So what can you do now? Easy: You must set up Google alerts, use rss feeds, and pull into your readers, the news which you are looking for. Then copy and paste this into RCW, and use the spinner to create your content. However, most news agencies do not publish on YouTube.

                So what does this mean for you with RCW? You will be using it as a convenience to schedule posts. And it will not help you update content which does not exist in the article directories, such as news, white papers, docs, ect. It retrieves static sources, not dynamic sources. It does not retrieve content from any rss feeds.

                In conclusion: RCW simply assembles pre-existing YouTube videos, Flickr images, articles, and amazon related products, IF they already exist. And then will spin the article content for you, and schedule it for posting. If this is what you are looking for, then RCW is for you.

                SIDE NOTE: While writing this response, I started up RCW, and it hangs on "Loading schedules." Schedules which do not exist in the first place. Here is a video link for you to watch and see it hang: 2013-07-16_0000 - Robert.Lang's library

                My review? RCW is not ready for release, despite the initial two months plus of "beta" testing. I've requested a refund for the $14 and $47. And I have many of this company's products. However, this one is uninstalled now and will not be useful to me, even when the bugs are fixed.

                Back to creating content the hard way for me. Using alerts, rss feeds, news sources, and scheduling posts manually.

                For Alan the writer for RCW, this product would be an improvement capsulating news feeds, permitting users to insert their own rss feeds, and adding their own video sources. Because it's missing a large part of the Internet Community world-wide. The part which is obsessed with news of all sorts.

                And the ability to reference related products as solutions to these news events through not only Amazon. But permit the user to insert their own sites relative to their niches. One example is fire fighting equipment. Or oil drilling platform parts. Same goes for heavy duty truck and farming supplies.

                Once the above bug is worked out and the RCW broadens it's scope and options to permit the rest of the world's industries included in it's tasks; then it will be as useful as Adobe's, Apples, Microsoft's and Link Assistant's Product Lines.
                Thanks for the honest review - I got mine [at $14] ran it a few times, the articles are by no means in a fit state to publish to a website you will be proud of, by the times I fiddled around with the paragraphs and everything else I thought - I may as well have gone to the directories and did it myself !! I won't be upgrading or autoposting, not yet anyway as I cannot trust it. Also as said before, the content produced is not 'fresh.

                For autoposting I think I'll take the jump and go for ArticleBuilder as the quality produced is readable & human edited. Yes it is $200/year but seems to be worth it for the time to be saved.

                I was hoping for more from RCW but hey, for $14 ? I won't be asking for a refund, am sure I can get some use out of it.

                Like anything else, don't expect this to solve the content creation necessity.

                  I've been using it for a few hours and got to say that I'm not impressed.

                  Google slapped the Article directories because they were full of worthless, useless crap with the majority written by people who knew nothing about what what they were writing about and just filling up 500 words with fluff and BS just to get backlinks

                  So with Rapid Content Wizard you grab a few (or a lot) of these worthless articles, shuffle them up and BAM new high quality article - BS

                  After watching all the training I tried over 30 different keywords in all sorts of different configurations and got nothing I could or would post on a blog without major rewriting and editing.

                  People expect and demand quality, substance and educating today or they simply wont hang around or read your stuff.

                  Waste of time and money if you are looking to make a name for yourself in a niche with useful, valuable, informative content.

                  If you just want to throw up a blog full of semi spam worthless crap that you wouldn't read yourself then maybe you'll get value out of it

                  Disappointed - concept is brilliant but until material is sourced from somewhere other than Article Directories I cant see good content being produced

                  My thoughts exactly, the content is not useable without further editing. It is a heck lot better than spun content but I would not put the unedited articles on my money site

          Thanks for the reassurance. As for the OTO, I did mention in my post that I'd opened a ticket.

          Glad to hear the software is doing what it should.

          The straight content portion seems to operate a lot like Wicked Article Creator, but this seems to have many more options, including auto posting with custom layouts.

    I (finally) was able to access the members area tonight, and decided to check out the OTO. It states this pretty clearly in the copy:

    "Be Assured Your License NEVER Expires

    You only need to purchase this DEVELOPER license once. You can use these plugins on all your own sites, client sites AND sites you plan to sell with no hassles at all!"

    There is no mention of 50 sites from what I can see. Maybe that is the Syndication Rockstar plugin that comes with it (posts to 50 prosperties? not sure). But it looks as though the developer edition of RCW is indeed unlimited.

        The WSO price is now $37, I believe, and the platinum level OTO is $47. So you're looking at $84 if you want to go with the unlimited option.

      I got secret links to purchase any of the license either silver, gold, platinum or platinum plus at discounted price without the need to purchase the single license (silver) first. But unfortunately cannot share the link here, Sean may be angry with me lol.

      Some people here may be interested to purchase but concern about lots of OTO, thus back off and change their mind. Personally I also think that it is quite sneaky to sell the single license, then upsell the multiple license for higher price since its like buyer purchase single license two times

    OTO of Platinum level is $47. That is only for 50 sites.

    Go another OTO of Platinum Plus for unlimited sites , $97 if i am not mistaken. There is a secret link to get Platinum Plus for $47 though.

    This seems to be a good tool but some people can't afford that price...

    I bought the Platinum (or Plus, I can't tell). I ran it. I didn't feel the articles it produced were any better than Wicked Article Creator, which already use. And I don't think Rapid Content Wizard offers enough additional benefit to make it worthwhile for me.

    Plus, I've yet to get a response from Support from yesterday.

    I've requested a refund.

    Thanks to those who've given their reviews, which helped in my decision.

      I'd have to agree with most here:

      1) Sean Donahoe does'nt finish his products, Promote Me Pro was the biggest joke ever, it never worked and I waited over a month for the fix that never came.

      2) Rapid Content Wizard is a fail. It rarely finds articles for me despite there actually being articles on the subject on the Ezine website available in his "select content" dropdown. The copyscape % mark has vanished and as yet all I have had out of it is gibberish.

      RCW crashes, freezes and often needs restarted in order to run a new article.

      RCW is another GIBBERISH publishing platfowm. We have enough gibberish on the web already we dont need anymore!

      Well done Sean, another barrell of Snakeoil sold. 2 failed products under your belt so far.

      My refund is being requested.

        2) Rapid Content Wizard is a fail. It rarely finds articles for me despite there actually being articles on the subject on the Ezine website available in his "select content" dropdown. The copyscape % mark has vanished and as yet all I have had out of it is gibberish.

        RCW crashes, freezes and often needs restarted in order to run a new article.

        RCW is another GIBBERISH publishing platfowm. We have enough gibberish on the web already we dont need anymore!

        Well done Sean, another barrell of Snakeoil sold. 2 failed products under your belt so far.

        My refund is being requested.
        You could also include Pingfresh to the list of failures as well.

            A quick 5 minute test and here's what I got with Instant Article Wizard when researching about vat (for my niche):

            Just see how readable this is:

            "Vat is another tax added to our present taxes. Vat is a type of national sales tax, levied on the value-added at each stage of production. Vat is the acronym for Value Added Tax, a surcharge on most goods and services in the European Union. Vat is the 'Value Added Tax' as practiced by member states of the European Union. Vat is also pervasive closer to our borders in the United States.

            Vat was originally implemented in the United Kingdom in 1977. Vat is a major contributing factor to the fiscal crisis in Greece and Spain and other countries in Europe. Vat will be rationalized as necessary to restore fiscal equilibrium. Vat will need rebalancing when the dye liquid turns blue. Vat is the major culprit of depression, the #1 source of misery.

            Vat is the ultimate BIG GOVERNMENT evil. Vat could solve that problem. Tax is not collected for products that are emailed or downloaded, nor is it collected for services or donations. Tax is based on sale price minus costs, according to the explanation given on Bloomberg."

            Apart from "Vat will need rebalancing when the dye liquid turns blue" the whole thing is READABLE and not gibberish. It also passed Copyscape.

            Move over Sean, there's better offers out there and NB is $7 for a trial $77 a year thereafter. I'm in.

                Good point, Instant Article Wizard allows you to swap the keyword for "it" and suchlike.

                Having said that I have a site where we run 4% keyword density and have obtained 27 consecutive listings from page 1 outwards......

                But the point is proven, the article is far more readable than Seans software.

                On a downside it doesnt do proxies and Google just blocked me!

            I have Instant Article Wizard. It isn't as automated as Rapid Content Wizard was promised to be. It does, however, return relevant content that you can go through, collate and edit manually. It pulls content from news, govt, PDFs, docs, reviews, and from all over the place, not just articles. It is great if you are suffering writer's block or don't know anything about a subject and need to crank out an article quickly. Having said that, I don't use it that often and usually outsource.

              I did forget to mention that I've had Instant Article Wizard for about 3 years, since its launch, and it is supported and updated when necessary. As I implied earlier, I haven't used it as much as I might, and certainly haven't used it to its full potential.

      I also have Promote Me Pro - IT DOES NOT WORK, waiting, waiting and waiting for them to fix it. They say they have this great software that has been 'killing it' yet, after months and months they still cannot get it to work [while we watch them launching new products !!] - not good.

    - just updated to 1.0.0.6 , what the update do ?
    Who knows, there is no changelog anywhere in software settings or members page. Where can I see the changelog ?

    - content created ? very poor.

    - hoping for any updates and improvement ? i fail to think to this... since there is no support thread on any forum i am surfing. Just his 47usd monthly paid forum.

    - no support for spinnerchief. you have to get TBS or the other. More money to spend... not.

    - do you have success with refunds from SEAN's products including this ?

        I agree. These are legitimate concerns. I bought the software and have never even been able to use it - "Loading Schedules" comes up all over my screen and won't move - I can't even see the RCW screen. I've also been to the support center & emailed them several times & have gotten almost zero response. This is actually the worst offer and sales support I've ever purchased! Oh yes - forgot to mention their User Manual! It says nothing about errors, and it says it's "A $47 Value"! I was afraid to click it - looked like they might try to charge me for the user manual too!

          Ok, I am abeliever in fate and the fact that the server crashed, then I missed out on the second early bird offer (after being in the first) why Sean couldn't have just mailed the original early bird list is beyond me, then i raise a support ticket (as Sean suggested I do) then I can't log in to support with the password sent to me and I have to request another, then I hear nothing from support. meanwhile I am reading all sorts of gripes on here about the software.

          I think fate is telling me something don't you?

    Did anybody actually read the content produced by RCW? Wow, absolutely horrible. Some people will say that you should always read and rewrite the spun content to make sure it is correct but one of the main features of this software is the so-called autopilot posting... UM, if you read the articles created by RCW you wouldn't want it automatically creating and posting on your behalf.

    You can create content yourself in half the time it would take to correct these auto-content articles. Actually, you can get better articles from third world, non English speaking countries.

    What a joke!

      Fully agree, Shemp. I bought the product and upgraded to Platinum Plus, but the quality of content I am getting is not usable and in most cases getting lots of irrelevant paragraphs. Requested for a refund.

    As most warriors know refunds will not be problem
    paypal will put a freeze on your account when they see
    these disputes are not handled and come in from more than one
    person.

    This would have been a great launch but I think he needed to put
    more thought in it.
    Allen his partner seems like a good guy,and he will be effected with
    these refund requests as well but if support does not get back with you
    then put in a dispute with paypal and they will take care of it.

    The support will begin to show up now because paypal will be holding there money
    plus they will be giving refunds back based on negative feedback of product and
    the underhanded marketing.

    For example even at the gold level you are not able to access the some of the backend products.

    They did not mention this
    This has gone on too long all I can say is remember
    the days when we had honest business men am still one of the few where I also have
    a real offline business where the customer is always treated right and the same should apply online.

    Get a Refund
    and only buy off the warrior forum where you can have people
    tell you about multiple licenses where you can see it on there front page.

    I will say that I don't have a problem with the different license levels. There could be people who don't need unlimited sites and it would be unfair to them to charge more and force them to the platinum plan.

    The tiered plan does 2 things to the customer's benefit. 1) it allows people who only need to post to a few sites to get in at a lower cost. 2) it allows others to test at a lower cost and upgrade to Platinum when they're ready for unlimited.

    There are plenty of things to be unhappy about this launch and product, but I personally don't think this is one of them.

    If you won't post content on your blog by proof reading then just forget about traffic from Google. It's better to copy paste content from other sites then must linking back to them. Search engines like it more than non readable content on your blog. Don't even use non-readable content for backlinks ever in 2013. Quality content is the key. Don't just use this software for blind posting. Spend some time editing it. This is what I can think of any software not just RCW.

      Some tools produce pretty readable text without proof reading. I think the farther away you get from your site, the less you need to proof.

      Wicked Article Creator puts out pretty readable (and highly relevant) articles. And, Spin Rewriter have pretty good auto spin -- if the original article is well written.

    To be clear what I am saying is that
    when you have the price points upfront

    This is a better business model knowing what your
    going to get and not get and from there you choose
    like a hosting plan you can see in the table what you will
    get and what you will not so you can just choose without wondering

    Why you did not receive a certain benefit.
    {{ DiscussionBoard.errors[8287770].message }}
  • Profile picture of the author Keith Price
    Yeah, as customers, knowing the entire pricing up front is more comforting. There appears to be ample evidence that NOT doing it up front increases sales. You start with a low hurdle and once a customer has accepted that "price", the next step up doesn't feel so extreme and it's easier to take the next step because they're already in a buying mood. And, the fact that they've already spent money with you, strangely, increases their feeling of trust in you, even though no time as gone by.

    This is all pretty well documented, so even though we hate it, it still works.

    Just like we all hate telemarketing calls, but companies still use them because they're profitable.

      Would some of you that have purchased RCW be willing to share some links to articles that you created and have posted online? I would especially be interested in seeing articles that you did not tweek or revise (edit) plus articles that have images included.

      I would like to see 8-10 articles for myself so that I can judge the quality of the content that RCW "automatically" posts.

      I have not purchased RCW but I fear it may have the same flaws that other spinning software presents - the output reads like a collection of single sentences or paragraphs from many different writers. Usually it's easy to tell that the "disjointed" content has been spun.

      Thank you for any who will post.

      I asked for a refund several hours ago. I just got an email (sent to me 3 times in a row(?)) from someone named Sheila who says "We take refunds very seriously", and then she says "Instead of a refund, here's a free plugin". (Then there is a supposed link to something - it's not even clickable. I didn't even try it - I don't want anything else from these people & I asked for my MONEY back! $44 is a lot of money for software that doesn't even work!). I tried to reply back to her (admin@abgsupport.com) and got another Mail Delivery Failure.

      Before asking for the refund, I had also submitted my problem to the support desk about the software getting stuck with "Loading Schedules" all over my screen and they never responded to that at all.

      Looks like I'll have to play the game with their "support website" again just to say, "No, I said I want a refund because I want my money back!" and then wait hours and hours for their next excuse. If they don't refund my money after this though, I'm going to report them.

    I think it was pretty clear in the sales letter than the spinning required you to own one of the spinners. I'm not going to share my articles, but I will say that, imo, they're not suited for your money site or blog. But, they're perfectly suited to your backlinking sites -- esp Tier 2. But, maybe even Tier 1.

    They don't really have a clear flow of logic, which makes them inappropriate for your money sites, but they do pretty well in terms of "machine readability".

    RCW doesn't spin the article, really. It passes the article to the spinner API which does the spinning. So, the quality depends on which one you use. IMO, Spin Rewriter is the better of the two.

    But, even though I own SR, I wouldn't use the API. I'd copy the RCW article into the standalone version and fine tune the auto spin settings as well as some minor tweaking to improve the quality.

    It's not hands off, but it's a pretty quick and easy way to get content Google won't hate for your backlinks.

    I didn't realize that was a canned refund response. I actually thought it was nice they were trying to salvage the relationship, but not now that I know it's an auto response with no way to reply and talk to an actual person.

    Before submitting a PayPal dispute, I'm trying one more time with the ticket system.

    Isn't there a way of requesting a refund through JV Zoo?

      Keith, the canned email was polite but it was not business-like at all. The link was unclickable and there was no choice to say "No" to it and still get a refund. Of course the most unprofessional aspect was getting a
      "Mail Delivery Failure" every time you try to reply!

      I did go to the JVZoo site when I first started having problems with this, and there is zero help there - if you click Contact Us OR if you click Support you get the same screen that just says you must contact the vendor if you have any problems.

    Here's some info on the JV Zoo site:

    As a customer you should consult with the vendor of any product to establish what your refund/guarantee rights are. We encourage all vendors to clearly list this on their sales page but it doesn’t always happen.

    To claim your refund you should contact the support department of the company who sold you the product. Their contact information is on the receipt of your purchase.
    And, for Vendors:

    You are free to set and enforce any refund policy on your own products but must honor any legal obligations applicable to your own sales.
    And, this little warning:

    JVZoo treats fraud very seriously and prevents serial offenders from purchasing your products.
    So, if we buy too many crappy products, we can get banned from buying more of them!

    I actually had a skype chat with a guy who had purchased over 50 products on JV Zoo. He requested just 4 refunds and got banned from future purchases. YIKES!

    Ian, I don't think RCW was intended for your visitor sites. More for mass backlinking where it's not worth the time or money to come up with original, quality content.

    I agree with you that it was disappointing, but let's not deride it for something it was not intended to do.

      Now you see why I said to buy
      only thru the warrior forum.

        Yeah, now I'm even nervous because I once returned something to JVZoo in the past! If I ever get my refund for this, will JVZoo ban me as "a serial refunder"?! Lol - if so then that's their loss (of my future business).

        I agree with Ian though that this was sold as a tool for creating primary content - they talked about auto-posting to categories on your sites and the examples they had were very well-written. To me that means first class articles. The part where he said you could generate 500 articles at a time.... well for that I wouldn't have high hopes that that would be more than spun junk, but I thought this was sold as an "article writer" vs. just a spinner.

    I'm very disappointed in pretty much every aspect of this experience. I have to say that I've never had reason to be an admirer of Sean so I don't really feel let down there.

    But I have to laugh at the JV partners.

    I just got an email from someone I used to trust with the heading: "Uh...Wow!"

    He goes on to write: "This piece of software has become legendary in the span of 48 hours."

    and,

    "From a top-notch software developer and mad scientist marketer who makes big things happen online!"

    Do you suppose these guys read the Forum chat at all?

        I would be absolutely shocked if Sean makes any replies to these posts.

        For $44 you can outsource 4 - 1000 word articles at iWriter at a 4 star quality level.

        I also think people get carried away with spinning articles. What happens is that the person spinning the article shoots for as much "uniqueness" possible using many more words and phrases than they should resulting in poor readability.I fell victim to this before convincing myself that certain words and phrases make sense when in all actuality they didn't belong in the content.

        My recommendations for finding and creating fast content...

        Kudani and an even cheaper option is Keyword Digger Pro.

        Keyword Digger Pro is great because it digs up to 4 levels deep. Now this is not a complete research tool but it's awesome for finding long tail keywords and scraping content that you can use for content creation. When I'm doing keyword research I don't worry about search volume, adsense value, etc... If you find great long tail keywords and create amazing content web users will find you and you'll rank for keywords you never thought possible.

          I don't see how you can compare the two. RCW is a one time fee. With iWriter, you pay for every new article.

          Also, I bought 10 articles from iWriter. It took me about 40 minutes to review, reject, and finally approve the articles. And, the quality of the ones I approved was not, in my opinion, any better than what RCW created in just 60 seconds.

            First, the reply was to questions and it was very early in this thread before it gained all of the negative traction. Second, I wasn't comparing the two I was simply stating that you'd be better off outsourcing 4 articles instead of buying RCW. I wouldn't suggest a product or service and then try to compare it to something this crappy. I'm not sure what quality level you selected for the articles on iWriter but I've had nothing but positive experiences. I guess you get what you pay for. Would you rather have crappy rehashed PLR and article mashups that make absolutely no sense or an original article written by someone that takes the time to write it based on the specs you provide? Google is so locked in on grammatical errors and readability this would stand a snowballs chance in hell to help a blog or backlink, whether it's tier 1 or tier 5.

            Are you actually using RCW? The articles make NO SENSE at all. They are all over the place. If you can correct those damn things in 40 minutes so they at least make sense.... you deserve some type of award.

            I've purchased Extreme Niche Empires from Sean roughly two years ago. If you'd like to hear users experiences with that product, let me know, I'd be happy to elaborate.

    I agree. There are a few people I had put on my "trust" list who have totally destroyed their credibility with me due to this and a couple of other recommendations of lousy products.

    But, I should say, I don't think of this as a lousy product (even though I know it's not working at all for some of you). But, the lack of support, Sean's history of abandoning past products, the launch fiasco, and the fact that while not terrible, it doesn't really live up to its hype all combined to lead me to the refund request.

      Wow!! Joan, please remind me to stay on your good side!

      There's so much to say here.... I guess the bottom line is I am happy I waited.... and I wish the reviews were better.

      I didn't really expect more out of this than a moderately well spun article with embedded videos, images, etc... Automation was the icing on the cake.... Anyone who was expecting anything more... didn't read the details of the sales copy to closely. Having aid that.... while I don't think there is anything wrong with putting lipstick on a pig.... I don't condone being outright misleading in your sales copy. WAIT... before anyone jumps on me... I am not saying that is the case in this instance. It's being alleged.... and I don't have the time to go back and re-review the material to figure it out.

      Had I purchased the product... I wouldn't now be concerned about the sales claims or the money..... I have gotten to the point where I value my time more than I do a few dollars... I just hate not being given all the information I need to make a purchase decision. When I buy something and then find that I have to jump through 3 more hoops....
      it irritates the crap out of me...

      Thanks for listening!

    I'm going to put my oar in. I am not a fan of this sort of marketing. I like making decisions based on features and price. When you're hit with a hard sell, make the purchase and then find that you need to upgrade to make the thing work, it leaves a bad taste.

    In the past I've been a sucker for shiny objects, and I've got a hard drive littered with unused bits of software and plugins to prove it. I've also been badly burned by over-hyped and under-performing (and ultimately unsupported) software. A year ago I weaned myself off the addiction, and haven't purchased anything other than the necessities of IM.

    However, I decided to give Rapid Content Wizard a try. After all, for $14 I wouldn't be wasting much if it didn't work.

    Following the purchase, I was confronted with a page saying that I could upgrade to Platinum for $47, and that the package includes Syndication Rockstar. I already have SR, so I obviously figured that I didn't need to purchase it again.

    I submitted a ticket at the support site, asking the following question: "I already have SR and I'm not interested in purchasing it again. What chance of a revised price for RCW Platinum upgrade on its own?"

    It took them over 24 hours to respond with the following reply: "I am sorry to hear that you would like to refund. We take refunds very seriously. Instead of refunding, I would like to offer that you keep your purchases and I will provide you with a Free Plugin..."

    Huh??

    Read into that what you may, but I am not impressed by the "support", nor their uninvited attitude towards refunds.

    I'm also not impressed by the origin and quality of the content that RCW produces.

    In my many shiny object purchases, I have only asked for a refund once before. I think I will press Sean and Co for the second, since they obviously welcome it.

    Yeah, that was a canned auto response, sadly. Support has been non-existent, so far.

    Had you hit NO on that first OTO, you would have been given a chance to upgrade to Platinum w/o the Rockstar for just $27.

    SO, i finally got an answer from RCW support...

    I sent this:

    Hi
    Owing to the severe server problems i was unable to get the early bird price even though i was on the list.
    Sean posted this on WF asking us to open a ticket and a new link for the discount would be sent.
    Thanks
    I then included Sean's post from this thread #52...

    This is what i received from support team:

    Hey, thank you for your purchase and your patience, as you know we have had an overwhelming positive response! However, we know this has caused some confusion for you. We have been inundated with tickets because of the server crash and we wanted to ask you if you could close this ticket if your problem was resolved. If not please let us know asap! In case you aren’t clear on the new link to login its:

    You know what this reminds me of?

    In auto backlinking, you might try to create, say 100 accounts. Maybe 40 of them fail and you get 60 successful accounts. Then, you auto submit an article to those 60 and maybe 20 fail, so you got 40 successful posts with backlinks.

    But, it took maybe 5 minutes to do. So, you say, "Screw it. It's not worth the time and effort to try to get those failed accounts or submissions to work. I'm not going to resubmit. I'm not going to look at the logs to see what the problem was. I'll be happy with the 40 that worked and not worry about the 60 that didn't. I'll just do another batch and maybe get another 40."

    I'm feeling like maybe that's how Sean and others like him think about us. We're noise. We're distraction. He'll just be happy with the ones who never open the product so they don't know if it works or not and the ones that won't complain even if it doesn't work and the ones who love it.

    Maybe the rest aren't worth the effort. Just move on to another launch and get another 40.

      I recognize the exact same text in emails I've received. I find nothing more insulting & frustrating than getting canned email responses that have nothing to do with what you asked! Especially when you can’t even reply, and for a one-time launch like this, there is no excuse for it! Are the developers saying they’re too busy to look at emails for just a few days or even hours?! It looks to me like they hired one non-English speaking person to handle all their customer service, gave her a brand new “support” site with no content on it, a short list of canned responses and excuses not to give refunds, and then left her alone to deal with everyone's problems and anger as they scooted out the back door to pop champagne bottles over all the money they made. They’re in for a rude awakening though when they see all the refund requests in the morning. That’s just too bad – I can forgive the server meltdown, and even software glitches, but only if I felt like the developer really planned this to be as perfect as possible before selling it to me, responded to me quickly and was easy to talk to, was truly sorry about wasting my time & money, was good to his word that it would be fixed to my satisfaction very quickly, AND that there was always the option of a cheerful refund!

      That is exactly the way they look at us. I wasted 3 hours watching the training videos. Then I try to open the software and it is stuck on Loading Scheduler. I try to uninstall it, and reinstall it, but it seems to be trying to access the server and all I get is Loading Scheduler. Now I'm not sure if I can completely remove the software from my computer. The support desk takes over 24 hours to respond, and tells me to send a screen shot, or video, of the problem (as if this is the first time anyone has complained about this issue).

      Managing refund has become more important than putting out a quality product, and supporting it. They win the war of refund attrition by putting up so many barriers that most customers give up. There seems to be more time put into over hyped sales letters, upsells, downsells, OTOs, and managing refunds than putting out a quality product that does what it claims it will do. So I'm asking for a refund from this seller, and will add him to my "do not buy" list.

          Sometime we fall into the trap of thinking... or at least acting like.... these folks set out to have a launch like this. They didn't. They clearly hoped for something else.....

            I think your contribution to keeping this topic civilized is quite honorable.

            But with all due respect, the only successful part of this launch was the JV build-up and I feel sorry for some of those guys and especially for those that purchased. The JVs were led to believe that this product was ready for the market and now find themselves having to apologize to their lists. This has a snowball effect, it doesn't just stop at producers.
            I think the majority of buyers have the decency to ask for a refund in a civilized and polite manner but the resonance from "support" is, to say the least, below the belt.
            Instead of honoring the refunds, they are now trying to bribe the buyers into accepting an additional plugin that apparently works very well with RCW, although RCW doesn't produce what they preached and in many cases doesn't work at all. WTF.
            They are obviously not even reading the first refund requests, rather picking out the mails with the words "please refund" or similar.
            This is just another shrewd marketing trick and proof of their disrespect towards people that placed their trust in the marketer's hands.

            O.k. we are all marketers and want to earn cash, but If I offer a refund then I have to respect the requests.

            Cheers

              I hear you... and am just trying to help.

              A while back, I was listening to a political discussion between two people that I highly respect... who are at the opposite ends of the political spectrum. One of them brought the entire discussion to an end by reminding everyone that it's all a matter of perspective. What he said was.... "It depends on where you stand."

              My only point was that (hype and hyperbole aside) they didn't set out to sell a broken product, crash a server, fail at product support and damage their reputations.

              They still MIGHT make it right.

              Cheers,

            Chris, take a side the launch issues and software bug. Even if those two parts were not present, this product will not live up to what your expectations may be. Here'e why:

            Claim: Create unique content for all your sites ion auto pilot. Even notice how at least half the demos done on any IM product always use dog categories? There's good reason. There are alot of writers in that niche.

            But when you try the products on your own niches, they fall short. Why? No content or very little. RCW draws it's written content from article directories. ten of them. And you know the value of article directories is very poor.

            Improvements? : Draw from Wikipedia and Google Docs for better and more in depth writing. Allow the user to enter their own rss feeds. The software does neither. It simply pulls articles. You could use your browser the same way for free. Want automation. Ste up a Wordpress Blog. Use a rss mixer, like Google Alerts. Then read your own specialized "article" feed via a category with title and excerpts. Take what you want all in one place. Set the site for private and only you will have access to your very own "Rapid Content Wizard." Use Spin Rewriter for $59/yr. and you are all set!

            All the help is via Google and Wordpress.org. You'll have better results.

              Thanks SA... I truly do get your point... and i am still not a buyer. I wish they would take your suggestions. The part that appeals to me most is the automation piece.

              I will be happy with the 65% solution... for tier 2 and 3 sites. I have my fingers crossed that this will turn into something... or that someone else will produce a workable option.

              Thanks again!

                Automation is indeed a great tool to have in your arsenal but I would never suggest auto posting without moderation, no matter what software is being used.

            Ok After reading all the complaints. I am really pissed. I seen the same complaints for Seans Promote Me Pro. I think you all here come on here just to give bad feedback. You all have 30 days for Refund but as soon as something goes wrong you instantly post for a refund instead of asking Alan who would be happy to help you.

            You just want your money back. That is what gives software a bad name you do not give it a try.

            This software works and it works great. It is the Best out there.

The JVs were led to believe that this product was ready for the market and now find themselves having to apologize to their lists. This has a snowball effect, it doesn't just stop at producers.
            I think the majority of buyers have the decency to ask for a refund in a civilized and polite manner but the resonance from "support" is, to say the least, below the belt.
            Instead of honoring the refunds, they are now trying to bribe the buyers into accepting an additional plugin that apparently works very well with RCW, although RCW doesn't produce what they preached and in many cases doesn't work at all. WTF.
            They are obviously not even reading the first refund requests, rather picking out the mails with the words "please refund" or similar.
            This is just another shrewd marketing trick and proof of their disrespect towards people that placed their trust in the marketer's hands.

            O.k. we are all marketers and want to earn cash, but If I offer a refund then I have to respect the requests.

            Cheers

            Your an idiot for saying that. If you would first work it out with Alan then you might see that the software worked. I know it works as I use it.

            Alan went and had like 100's of beta testers and people testing this for over a month before launch and I can tell you this it works. And works great.

            And what brings people down Tigerwar is people like you putting bad comments on the WF. Get a life man.

I will never buy anything from these guys again though - they gave me 2 or 3 full days of stress & worry - just the opposite of what they promised!

            Did you add Alan on Skype and ask him for help? No I do not believe you did. He would have helped you. Instead you come on here and bash him left and right and never though to just ask for help. You could have also sent him a PM on here he would have helped you.

            @SEO Agent

            There is to much crap on this thread to even start I would have to create a thread just for your idiotic crap to mention.

            Your an idiot for bashing Sean. You bashed him in Promote Me Pro thread and this one to. You need to get off the WF and start working instead of bashing other Marketers.

            Sean is a Great person and he is caring and he has great products. Alan is great also and Rapid Content Wizard is great. It works great. People give up to soon to really know if it works. Then they come on here leave crappy messages as they could not get it to work and bash Alan then he gets bad reviews and everyone who wants to buy it sees this crap and then they do not buy.

            as for the rest of you!

            How do they know if it will work unless they buy it.

            Remember people you got 30 days for a refund. If you can not get help within the first 25 days and it still does not work then well maybe get a refund but first try all avenues to get help. Alan has his skype user name if you contact him I can bet he would help you.

            So stop reading crap about how bad something is and go and buy it and get going with it.

            Well I could go on posting my thoughts but I have better things.

            I have RCW and I will use it. I love the software and I think it is great.

            I think that Everyone here who posted bad reviews of software of Alans and the ones who bash Sean should go and create there own plugin or software. And see how it feels when you got the world bashing you.

            find out how to handle support find out what happens when your server goes down and you do not know what to do to fix it. find out what it feels like when you get alot of bashing going on. I could go on more and more.

            But just go out and create your own software and see what happens. It is not a pretty picture. I was going to create software and plugins but with all this bashing going on why do I want to waste my time with your crap.

              WOW. ok, Edward. I found out about Curation Fire through Adsense Firestorm (info on it was in the 3rd Accelerator Video) well before I found out about RCW. This was a plugin that Sean promoted, and I bought, through his link (and also bought Spin Rewriter based on his recommendation also). And it's a damn good one too. It came to mind as one of the tools I use and came to mind also because I had first looked at Curation Soft before finding out about Fire. I said nothing about Alan or RCW, neither of which I have a problem with.

              I use several of Sean's plugins all of which help me get my stuff done amd recommend them. And Sean is an awesome guy, very helpful. In fact, when I do Magic Submitter coaching, I keep in mind how Sean runs his Sessions and how relaxed he is. I use him as a model, so to speak.

              So get off my case please. I've nothing but good things to say about Sean. Two timing? really? It would be like Noble Samurai yelling at me because I gave a positive review to a competitor of theirs, Keyword King (in fact I did). I use both, but both fill different needs. MS is more in depth, KK is faster, etc.

                And still another lesson learned from Sean! I'm excited to keep learning Sean! Maybe your "One Dollar Trial Offer might teach me even more!

                Take Note: You can outsource at Fiver.com to have someone register and post at forums where yoru product is getting beaten up badly. You can use these people to slam, insult, and even threaten other forum members into submission. All in order to make it "appear" as if they(all previous customers) are only posting because "they never gave the product a chance."

                Wake Up Call: Hello out there? I guess that "creative" post is what we can take away from this: Outsourcing to counter measure a bad product is only an extension of the same bad product. It is not and never will be a "selling feature" nor a good counter measure.

                It only demonstrates the lack of education of those involved. Who clearly are clueless to what constitutes "Customer Satisfaction." Question: How many sales are counted where a third party testimonial insults paying customers? Keep going Sean, we are all anxiously awaiting more awesome "Marketing Mistakes To Learn And Live Without."

            Oh come on. It literally takes ten seconds to issue a refund through Paypal. It shouldn't take 3-4 days to get your money back. If it's "one of the biggest launches of the year" (according to Sean)... hire some damn support staff.

            Offering a plug-in instead of a refund with the first email response is totally unacceptable. They do this knowing that some of the same yuppies that bought this crap in the first place, will give the plug-in a go instead of persisting with the refund.

            When are people going to stop making excuses for trash products. This product, from launch til now, is complete garbage. How can someone launch this many products and still be clueless as to how to handle servers and support issues....

            One more thing to note. Early in this thread there were a couple of posts saying how great this product is. Did anyone take note of their post counts?????? 1,3,2,1 etc... Wow, just starting out on the Warrior Forum and they chose this software to comment on. That doesn't seem a little shady.

            The thing that's really disappointing is the amount of emails I've received (regarding RCW), from people I used to really respect in this industry. They obviously haven't tried this crap. They all got sucked in to the 4 upsell sales funnel and the affiliate contest.

            All I know is that a lot of respectable marketers are going to lose huge chunks of their mailing lists.

              Same here, I agree. That is the best lesson I ever learned from Sean. I will not JV with anyone who associated themselves with this launch. Reason: They never tried out the product themselves.

              Because anyone who did, would be blown away by the nerve of selling a product which crawls article directories and actually thinks that is good content. What a joke! No one with a brain goes to article directories to read. There is way better content on the web, just by doing a simple search in Google. Who needs article directories anymore to find out information on topics? No one!

              Article directories are a graveyard where poorly written content goes to die. And RCW as it stands is on the emergency table without a heartbeat! "Clear!"

        Thank you for your awesome observations! They have really helped me to understand how people respond to these type of sales. Sean has taught me so much on what happens when you get it all wrong! I am truly grateful to Sean and Alan and your response! A great lesson once again at the Warrior's Forum!

      But, it took maybe 5 minutes to do. So, you say, "Screw it. It's not worth the time and effort to try to get those failed accounts or submissions to work. I'm not going to resubmit. I'm not going to look at the logs to see what the problem was. I'll be happy with the 40 that worked and not worry about the 60 that didn't. I'll just do another batch and maybe get another 40."

      I'm feeling like maybe that's how Sean and others like him think about us. We're noise. We're distraction. He'll just be happy with the ones who never open the product so they don't know if it works or not and the ones that won't complain even if it doesn't work and the ones who love it.

      Maybe the rest aren't worth the effort. Just move on to another launch and get another 40.
      You have a great perception on this! Many thanks!

    I am really at a lost for words, this was a huge launch and I really can't understand why any marketer would jeopardize their reputation on such a failed software.

    I tried the software and got terrible results, it was absolute garbage. I then filtered out all the article directories and fetched content only from Wikipedia, thinking that it may produce better quality content.

    I used PLR as the main keyword and for the LSI keywords I used,

    plr products
    private lable rights
    plr marketing
    plr articles

    And this is what it retrieved!

    Title: PLR Marketing

    First paragraph was about "The Radical Liberal Party".

    Second paragraph was about "funding literary works of fiction".

    Third paragraph was about "isolation transformers and bypass capacitors".

    Fourth paragraph was about "connecting a radio to a PC using a parallel port and sound card".

    Fifth paragraph was again about "The Radical Liberal Party".

    Sixth paragraph was about "duplicate the fourth paragraph".

    seventh paragraph was about "a story around GRU Spetsnaz commando Dimitry "Dima" Mayakovsky".

    Eight paragraph was about "the App_rpt package for Linux".

    Ninth paragraph was about "M-16, AR-15, and other NATO rifles chambered for 5.56Ã--45mm".

    The software only fetched the main keyword and not the LSI keywords and the content was completely irrelevant to the title.

    I won't be asking for a refund because I have purchased some decent products on the JVZoo platform and I wouldn't want to get blacklisted but this software did not live up to the claim that was mentioned about high quality content.

      joseph7384, that's somewhat worse than what I experienced, but I did see poorly written and duplicate content.

      But what's more, it is a sorry day when you're held to ransom by the delivery medium.

      You mean that JVZoo would blacklist a customer who asks for a legitimate refund for a product that's clearly not what was advertised?

        I know of someone who was blacklisted from purchasing products, according to him he was accused of being a serial refunder but yet he had only one refund.

          JVZoo allows sellers to blacklist emails of people they believe to be serial refunders, or problem customers. Other sellers have the option of using these lists for their own products. As a seller you can say I don't want to sell to anybody who has been reported once, or twice or five times, or something like that.

          So you don't get banned JVZoo wide really, it's up to each seller.

          The problem is that this is a legit way to handle the problem of serial refunders BUT non serial refunders get caught up in it every now and again.

          I would say to NOT let this stop you from getting a refund for a bad product!! That's crazy!! bad product should get refunded, period IMHO. It's important to send the seller a message that there are two parts to a great product. Good marketing AND a good product. Without one or the other, it's a fail. Don't let them get away with just having the first part locked in.

          And BTW, I DO sell products here and I would expect the same for the products that I sell.

          I have only blacklisted one customer, she bought the same product twice within a seven day period and asked for a refund both times. And not just asked but demanded. Nobody needs customers like that.

            I've purchased from Sean in the past and I have to say that I've never had a problem and have been perfectly happy with the quality of my purchase.

            I thought that RCW looked interesting and, at the early bird price, I felt that it was worth a look.

            Exactly. I was viewing RCW as a tool, not a solution. I think anyone expecting otherwise was unfortunately expecting too much.

            What the heck :confused::confused::confused:
            This is exactly what I received too. I'm not impressed!

            Sure, I know that things can go wrong and, at times, there can even be disasters that mean that absolutely nothing goes according to plan. But nothing about this launch has left me with a good impression, I'm afraid. I'm certainly extremely disappointed to learn about the situation regarding the upsells, this isn't a practice that I can agree with and is the very type of thing that makes people wary of them.

            As I said, I've never had problems with Sean in the past so I was looking forward to the launch of RCW. However, on this occasion, I shall have to pass on this one

              I was made aware of this product yesterday and was quite excited about it. Reading this thread put a damper on that. I appreciate all the honest opinions. Usually, it is hard to get an honest opinion without wading through all the sales pitches.

              Apparently, the seller decided to forgo the various and asundry levels of usage and go with an unlimited version for 37 dollars and a one-domain version for 17 dollars. Is this correct?

              Maybe, the foul-ups could be put to use as a study in how not to launch a product?

    Joseph, I'm not happy with the software, either, but that's not really a fair test. You and I know what PLR is, but can you really expect the search engines to? You might have tried "Private Label Rights". You could have tried several other niches.

    You can't really blame the software for what comes back from the search engines and article directories. You have to give it terms it can work with.

      Did you read my entire post?

      I used PLR as the main keyword and for the LSI keywords I used,

      plr products
      private lable rights
      plr marketing
      plr articles
      My assessment was not from just one go at it, I tried PPV, (and yes Pay Per View was used as an LSI) bass fishing, weight loss and dating, they all returned more relevant content then the niche that I used as an example but they were all not readable quality content.

    "weight loss" keyword article

    Weight Loss Tips And Weight Loss Plan For Weight Management And Fat
    The advertised product will cause permanent weight loss.

    Do methods weight loss salons use work? How about the weight loss pills that 'burn up to 2000 kilocalories per day'? Well, in most cases, people don't even eat up to 2000 kilocalories when they're trying to lose weight.

    With regards to numerous weight loss salons using body wraps, infrared or electro stimulation devices etc - must you really be educated to realise that all these don't work? Please don't fall victim to their intensive marketing tactics. If they really work, why do they spend so much money on advertisements mostly showing astonishing 'before' and 'after' pictures and slim figures of celebrities but little or no scientific information about their weight loss devices?

    The advertised product will cause substantial weight loss for all users

    Seriously, only lazy people wanting a quick fix would visit these weight loss salons. But the thing is that they don't even provide a quick fix! You'll only get ripped of.

    Here's an excerpt from a very informative report compiled by the Federal Trade Commission of the United States Of America - Deception In Weight Loss Advertising Workshop:

    Seizing Opportunities and Building Partnerships to Stop Weight Loss Fraud. A panel of experts discusses and analyses claims made by manufacturers, citing scientific references to show how these claims are false and misleading the public. The claims include:

    The advertised product will cause substantial weight loss through the blockage of absorption of fat or calories.

    The use of weight loss products may lead to relatively fast weight loss initially. Many weight loss products contain bioactive substances that suppress appetite, stimulate metabolism or induce water loss from the body. It is not safe to use these products without medical supervision. Moreover, weight loss products are usually expensive and do not help change the overweight individual's eating and exercise behaviors that are the root causes of weight gain. This makes maintenance of weight loss difficult. Enough said.

    Wait. Didn't recent TV programs show normal Singaporeans losing weight after visiting beauty salons? How do you explain that? Well, these weight loss salons know their stuffs don't work, so now they're getting smart enough to recruit some personal trainers and nutritionists to ‘preach' healthy living. So on top of their dubious weight loss gimmicks (where the real bucks are rolling in), they have their clients exercise and diet. Without a doubt, exercise and diet worked, and weight loss resulted. At Personal Trainer at Your Doorstep | Results! Personal Training (Singapore) - Home we offer the same services (without the body wrap nonsense of course!) at a fraction of the cost. Â

    Consumers who use the advertised product can lose weight only from those parts of the body where they wish to lose weight Find them familiar? Read them in ads on the papers or on television lately? Please do take time to read the full report: http://www.ftc.gov/os/2003/12/031209weightlossrpt.pdf

      Wow that was ugly!

      This is not the same thing but in a similar vein - I once bought good software called Page One Curator by Paul Clifford. It didn't write the articles for you, but it gathered up articles from like 200 RSS feeds including lots of newspapers and magazines, plus you could add your own RSS feeds too, it searched Google News & Google blogs, any articles on the web, YouTube videos, and Creative Commons images from Flickr... then you grab blobs of what you want and paste it into the editor there (and for everything you paste in, an automatic link to it is created too so you can give credit to the source), add some of your own original comments and make it look good, then click "Post to Blog" and you have it already set up to go to your blogs.

      I think it was around $40. He has a membership website after you buy where you can go watch training videos and read any news or help about the software too. I keep forgetting I have it (lol) so I've had to re-visit the training videos and they've stayed up there for at least a year I think. I think I remember asking him a question or two in reply to one of his group emails and he answered me quickly. Totally different experience than this!

    Diabetes treatment depends on the type and severity of the diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is treated with insulin, exercise, and a diabetic diet. Type 2 diabetes is first treated with weight reduction, a diabetic diet, and exercise. When these measures fail to control the elevated blood sugars, oral medications are used. If oral medications are still insufficient, insulin medications are considered.

    The majority of Americans are overweight, and that is a scary thing because with the excess weight comes a slew of life-threatening diseases that can be avoided by proper diet and exercise. Obesity is the major cause for diabetes mellitus type 2, a chronic disorder where the body fails to produce sufficient amounts of insulin or where cells have lost responsiveness to its effects. Insulin is needed for the passage of blood glucose into the body's cells for energy. When the cells cannot obtain the glucose, the body weakens and organs become damaged overtime, possibly leading to death. While most type 2 diabetics are treated with some type of medication, alternative diabetes treatment options can prove just as effective or more for many patients. Here are some of the most common natural remedies for diabetes type 2.

The amount of time it takes to make these articles readable - you may as well go to ezinearticles yourself, pick up four paragraphs from different articles, and rewrite yourself within 15 minutes to something useable.

    Well. here is my two cents.

    1. I don't mind the OTOs so much IF they make sense. If they are truly adding value to a full product. Meaning, don't force me into an OTO to get the product I wanted to by from the start. Give me an OTO that's adds additional value/new value to the original product. Not one that fills in the gaps of the original.

    2. I watched the video on the early bird campaign, I noticed then that the articles were junk. I watched the guy go through everything in detail but the text content. I stopped the video read close and said "uh-hu". Not good stuff at all.

    3. Getting VERY tired of (but see a lot of it) this churn and burn product creation and the creators. These guys pump out product after product and the support for these product is lucky to last 2 months. The first signs of product meeting this definition is at the support desk. If there is not already a good support system for the marketer put in place (especially these big names) it's a clear indication that support (i.e the customer) is not a priority and the product is churn and burn.

    How long has Sean been in business? And his support SILL sucks? It makes ZERO sense.

    Like somebody else posted here on this thread, I won't buy from him either just because this pattern continues to repeat itself, over and over.

    Now a question for you guys. How many of these super hyped up, affiliates pushing like crazy product have you bought that were actually worth the money?

    Type 1 Diabetes Causes And Symptoms - Are You At The Risk?

    Diabetes affects more than 20 million Americans. About 54 million Americans have prediabetes. There are many risk factors for diabetes.

    Unless Diabetes has reached a serious stage, not all people who suffer from it have diabetes symptoms to show. If you are careful and look into the details, there are people who can have signs and symptoms noticed earlier. For example, one particular symptom of developing diabetes are happenings of hypoglycemia or "low blood sugar". This symptom occurs as a result of the presence of too much blood insulin when compared with the amount of blood glucose and dizziness, sweating, shakiness as well as the urge to eat are experienced.

    A eating plan for diabetes needs to take a glycemic index into consideration. As a good rule, all foods on the high end of the glycemic index has to be avoided or at the very least cut down to the bare minimum possible. Another important factor in that diabetes healthy eating plan is the planning of foodstuff and numbers. When your system is bombarded which includes a large quantity food, it will not be able to soak up sugar proficiently. This can lead to several problems involving high blood sugar. Therefore, a diabetes diet plan should be produced based on smaller portions of food rather then large amounts of nutrition. It is advisable for a diabetic to consume more food of reduced quantity in lieu of few meals of great quantity. This form of a diabetes diet gives the body time for them to absorb handsome slowly along with loads a lesser amount of sugar in the blood each time. Fruit platters and additionally unsweetened yogurt smoothies usually are excellent diabetic puddings.

    Along with the above mentioned above when it comes to all forms of diabetes diet natural remedy as previously mentioned the world wide web is a great place to seek help and information. As long because they follow the requirements of these a diet then they will discover it much easier to manage their condition.

    A diabetic will typically experience large variations in the degree of sugar for their blood, specifically after foods. It is because of the dangers on the sudden increase in blood sugar levels a diabetes diet is a good idea. Glucose is the type of sugar that is found in the blood and is particularly the easiest way to obtain energy for ones body. In a very healthy private, glucose is normally absorbed within the various cells with the body where it is broken lower for electrical power and regulating body's temperature. In people with diabetes, a absorption involving glucose is normally slow along with insufficient. This brings about an excess degree of glucose being present in the blood. This condition is hyperglycemia.

    If you are having blurred vision of any kind, it is strongly recommended that you consult a medical professional immediately because that is very serious whether or not you have diabetes. A medical professional will then be able to tell you if you have diabetes type 2 or not.

    This illness permanently has an effect on the kidneys' ability to condense the pee. Anytime heredity is among the factors behind diabetes insipidus it is generally known as Nephrogenic DI. Usually it has an effect on males even though females can distribute the specific gene down to her children.

    Pre diabetes symptoms are your warning that you are at high risk for a deadly, unnecessary, and debilitating disease if you don't change your diet and lifestyle habits.

    With regards to nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, your medical professional may propose a low-salt diet routine as a way to minimize the degree of urine your kidneys create. It's also advisable to take in a sufficient amount of liquids to avoid dehydration.

    When it comes to treating any form of diabetes there are many different issues that a sufferer are capable of doing. Because both Types 1 and 2 are terminal, there are a number of different items a person can do in order to treat these conditions. They can manage the challenge through the use of tablets along with insulin supplements and a diabetes diet. The diabetic issues diet natural treatment method means that the person is actually less likely to suffer from virtually any unwanted side effects.

    Anti-CD3 antibodies, including teplizumab and otelixizumab, had suggested evidence of preserving insulin production (as evidenced by sustained C-peptide production) in newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes patients. A probable mechanism of this effect was believed to be preservation of regulatory T cells that suppress activation of the immune system and thereby maintain immune system homeostasis and tolerance to self-antigens. The duration of the effect is still unknown, however. In 2011, Phase III studies with otelixizumab and teplizumab both failed to show clinical efficacy, potentially due to an insufficient dosing schedule.

    Just to let everyone know, I received my refund today.

    History: I submitted my first request 2 or 3days ago.

    Received the canned response with no way to reply.

    Submitted a second request and included the original ticket number, yesterday.

    Received the refund today.

    I never doubted Sean would honor the refund. He may back crappy products; he may have chosen to not invest in quality support; but, I don't believe he's dishonest -- at least when it comes to taking money and running.

      To clarify my comment in the last post, I really don't think of this product as crappy. It worked for me. And, I think some of you have a much higher standard than is necessary for the quality of an article used for backlinking.

      Google just needs to see words related to your topic inside a sentence structure that follows proper English, without too many bad synonyms in order to accept the backlink article as relevant.

      As Jim showed, the results returned by RCW are not bad. The tool that does the spinning can totally mess it up, though. If I were to keep using RCW, I would not use the built-in spinning. I would copy the article to my spinner tool so I can fine tune the settings.

      If support had been more responsive; If I had confidence Sean would be committed to the software for the long term; If Sean had been proactive in dealing with all the crap; I'd probably have stuck with it.

      But, there were just too many red flags.

    Cag, sadly, that article was pre-spin. That's the raw article RCW provides. Then it's up to the spinner to provide something still relevant but also readable.

    As for reliability, remember, it's just using the search engines against various sources. So, it really depends on your keyword and what's at the top of each source.

    But, I agree, never automated content on the money sites.

    him on this thread.

    I think he really meant well in the the since of how automated content can help us
    but as you read here and from these posts.

    This just an example of a launch gone bad in every way imaginable
    we can all learn something from this on our next product launch

    Support is coming from his partner side Allen

      I believe he is using this on his own dedicated server just for him. He convinced this Allen guy to sell it to the public on a different server thus oversell and non purfomance. Good job fellas.

    Is there anyone out there that purchased the product?
    I was onthe earlybird list, setup an email campaign paid for the solos link broke I am broke purchased it through Hans Fan the only link that would work because he was smart enough to direct you straight through to paypal paid 31.00. all within 20 minutes of the release. Could not access the product for about 5 hours when I did the upsale for premeium was 55.00. Now comes the fun part lost 500.00 in solos paid for something from another marketer no commision for me.

    When I was able to use the product first couple of articles sweet quick easy to edit nice. Within about an hour and a half of setup and registration fees 100.00
    ready to rock right---wrong now that they over loaded the server with to many clients the software would will not create an article for anything-amazon won't pull, yahoo works well and youtube and flicker works well.

    So in conclusion it cost me 600.00 bucks I don't have and I have a piece of useless software.

    Anyboby out there making this thing work?
    Really need some feedback not sure that they can fix the server overload issues with the product to many people on it.

    They are bragging about making 100.000.00 in 24 hrs hope they choke on it.
    Remember Lethal same thing how about Rockstar.

    For me this is really sad I work hard I am going nowhere because I use Sean's products and get slapped by Google.

    Anybody have anything positive to say an differant ? If I am wrong let me know.


    Positve attitude and action is who I am I feel like a fool.

    Hey Guys,

    I bought the thing at $37, had no idea about the early bird special. I was to busy messing around with Auto Traffic Trends plugin, (which not is not geared for niche blogs, except for review sites), and this came out the next day. Should of held my money.

    Anyway, saw the RCW demo and jumped, went to post to my sites 'I get a error that says, "Remote server not a valid XML" whatever that freakin means? Sent support ticket, we'll see what happens. So far spent money without any "new" content created for 3 days!

    That's my experience so far.

        I thought I was going too. It grabs trending words on Google trends, Alexa Keywords, Amazon gold box and special deals. It grabs a random video from youtube, and content (just like RCW), things Google is looking for.

        However, creator says you could put your own keywords in there for your niche, but, never really understood, how keywords and content matched from trends. Asked support those questions: "No response".

        Today, they upgraded to a version, for a 'work-around' for google plus and other issues. Now they said, customers have to add "ioncube loader" the your web host should provide. I spent over 2 hours, adding those files, editing php according to hosts' instructions. After, all that, couldn't even access my site! WTF?

        Decided to delete plugin from the site to gain access again.

        Bottom-Line: Sent two requests for refund. I'm pissed!

        I normally don't buy these "auto-programs" because they of all the freakin hoops you got to jump through, to get it to work. But, I listened to a guy on youtube, that I subscribe too, and watch the demos, I had hope. Only to be disappointed on both programs.

        I hope I don't have to get Paypal involved. Money's money, and when you don't get what you paid for, it's a big bubble burst!

    Yikes! I bought but haven't installed yet. Not sure if my host supports ioncube.

    As for the keyword and trends, if I understood you, you misunderstood the feature.

    The trends part doesn't do anything other than find trending keywords and put them in a box. You delete any of those and also add any of your own.

    The auto content only grabs stuff relating to what's in that box. It ignores the trend section -- other than what it put in that keyword box.

      Yeah, it's still cloudy about the feature. Even if it grabs keywords (something I can get with trending sites), they're not relevant to content. And that whole ioncube loader is a joke! They're going to ask people to call their web host to add it and make it work? Are you kidding me? That was the refund factor.

        As promised I send you an update of the situation. (Just to remind you, I purchased the day before yesterday the application. But I didn't get the activation code)
        I got a reply last night in which said this:
        "Hi

        Thank you for your email. I am happy to assist.

        Your Activation Key can be found on the Homepage of your Member's Area.

        I have provided an example below.

        2013-07-16_1102 - Shayva's library

        If you need further assistance, please let us know.

        Thank you,"
        After that I replied saying that I didn't have an activation code on the URL where she specified.

        This afternoon I received this reply:
        "Hi,

        I am sorry for the inconvenience.

        I have checked your license and I see that you don't have one assigned to you.

        I have expedited to your request to Sean and Alan.

        I will be in touch shortly with a resolution.

        Thank you,"

        So, so far obviously I am not quite happy of the situation because:
        1) I should have received the activation code from day 1.
        2) The support lady should have checked the first time if an activation code had been allocated to me.

        However, it's not all negative because:
        1) They have replied fairly quickly.
        2) They seem to be willing to solve my issue.

        I'll keep you updated. Take care!

    I did receive a full refund today, which was a huge relief! With the program stuck on "Loading Schedules" on my screen (never could use it or even try it) and no help or support, I was really nervous that I would never see my money again. I will never buy anything from these guys again though - they gave me 2 or 3 full days of stress & worry - just the opposite of what they promised!

      Not to diminish your troubles with this purchase but that makes zero sense. They gave you a full refund as they promised. So they had a terrible launch and you couldn't use the product, they could have dissed you altogether but they didn't. Remember, they had hundreds of support tickets to wad through but they got to you and gave you what you asked for. That's better than most and for that reason alone, you should feel confident enough that you can try their products in the future without fear of being burned because I will tell you and anyone in this thread, paypal does not refund software so Sean could have easily burned you.

    I also received a refund, without any fuss from Sean and Co (at least, after the initial canned email reply) to their credit. I don't think they were trying anything malicious, but rather to cash on on people's excitement. Top marketing needs a top product, and I didn't see it here.

    Sent these two questions to support. Maybe someone here can give light as well...

    1. My work PC is scheduled for reformatting and re-imaging tomorrow. For example, if I install RCW now, and reformat tomorrow, would I still be able to re-install it again with the same license.

    2. And if I buy a new PC, and won't be using the old PC where RCW was initially installed, can I email support so that I could just transfer the license to the new PC? I don't think buying a new license is an option in this case. It's still using it on one PC, right?

      I agree. Its gotten to the point that if an IM product is not offered as a WSO I will not buy it. In my mind, there is a reason why a product is not offered on the WF. They can't stand the honest critique. I received a ton of affiliate emails on this product. So I did like you did and came to the WF just to see if there were any reviews. Man, am I glad I did. No way would I buy this thing. It also seems a little suspicious to me that at the beginning of this thread that most of the positive comments came from individuals who were very recent members of the WF, like this month. Not making an accusation. Just a comment.

        For those of you looking for a RELIABLE way to get good content, these are the tools I use.
        First off, the best purchase I ever made was Market Samurai. It does what I need it to do. You pay one price and so far (4 years later) they have been reliable in updating it. I think if I had to purchase over again though, I would go with SEOMoz.
        Second, spinrewriter.com. By far, the best spin product on the market. I pay the yearly fee. It has a 5 day free trial.
        Third, tie spinrewriter with WP Robot. They don't have a free trial but do offer a 14 day money back guarantee.
        I use MS to do market and keyword research. Find out the competition and sources for content. I use iwriter to come up with 5 good 750 word articles to base the blog on and make sure that each page has an LSI keyword pointing back to the main page. Put up one or two good blog posts. Its automatic from there. Then I use WP Robot to find and post content to the blogs, using spinrewriter.
        No, none of these products are dirt cheap. You will invest $300 or so. But they have been around a while, and they work.
        Just my two cents.

            Yes, iwriter.com is a site. You can get reasonable articles for a low price. Sometimes you have to send the article back multiple times. mainly for grammar problems. Or refuse to pay. I have never had to pay for a lousy article.

    If this product would have been sold as tool for creating posts for tier2 and upwards, then it might have been a decent buy. For this purpose it fails the %link% tags and it is slow.... But this clearly is presented as "the content revolution" with the claim it would produce high quality 80% unique posts .... and it fails big time. The articles are plain crap....

    But we are all victims of 'wishful thinking'.

    A tool that automated builds readable, unique (and quality) content doesn't exists, and .....
    .. if somebody ever manages to make a product like this ..... I bet that the Wall Street Journal and The New York Times would be very interested to buy the tool...

    Just my 2 cents...

    Well I never did get any notice of 50% off, i went in and bought full price and all the upgrades 'cept the $47 a month program. But when I uploaded the plugins, none of them worked, either by adding the plugin from the site, or via FTP. so if they are ninja programmers, they missed the mark this time.

    Nort only that, but the support team is slow to react, i have multiple tickets in, and no response.

    Yes, iWriter is a writing service. My one experience with them was poor. I bought 10 articles and I rejected the first batch I got. Those automatically get resubmitted and you get another batch. I reject half of those.

    All said and done, I spent about 40 minutes reading and rejecting junk articles to find the few that were passable. And, they were ONLY passable. Nothing I was excited about.

    So, for the time it took me to get only OK articles, I won't be using iWriter again.

      Keith, to stand corrected. It is only the merchant's actions, which are reviewed by PayPal when considering suspending an account. And not anyone who makes a purchase. Further PayPal, does not suspend any merchant's account without receiving several of the same dispute reports from buyers.

      Finally, PayPal will at best, withhold fund transfer requests to the merchant's bank account and freeze the balance within the merchant's account. So they can refund the purchases made. PayPal is an intermediary and is always in control of all funds first. At no time does a merchant have control over any funds collected from buyers. Which is why there is always a delay in fulfilling transfers of funds to a merchant's bank account.

      So you have nothing to worry about, if you did request a refund or submit a dispute report. I've been through this event a few times. It always favors the buyer, if the claim is warranted. PayPal will always ask the merchant to remedy the transaction. If the merchant cannot be reached by email or telephone, only then does PayPal take matters into their own hands and manually process the refund on behalf of the merchant.

      I have full confidence in PayPal dispute process. And again, the loss is not financial for me, it is a loss of valuable time Keith.

        If you've been through this several times then you should know paypal DOES NOT refund software. Sure they will ONE time and that is it.

        That's why I would recommend to anyone here to wait for Sean to refund you. He will. He is a stand up guy. Give them time to get to your tickets as they have hundreds maybe thousands to go through.

    Thanks for the clarification. I'm not concerned about my refund. I received it a couple days ago.

    I didn't know that PP worked the way you said, so that's good news for others.

    Hey guys - reading this info (thanks SEO Agent!) about the fake email addresses and cancelled accounts got me nervous so I just checked on my refund. NO money has come to my bank yet! I looked in PayPal and it says there was a refund BUT:

    "PayPal has placed a temporary hold while we're reviewing it. We'll contact you shortly with further information."

    Is this something to worry about? (They wrote that yesterday)

    SEO Agent what a great and thorough review & research! (And I found out that I couldn't thank anyone because I hadn't had 5 posts yet - this is the first time I've really talked on here) This line was the icing on the cake though:

    "...your $1 Membership Fee was actually a dollar too high. "

    LMAO! That sums this whole nightmare/fiasco up so well!!!

    And Sam M, I got the same email! Talking to me as if I was one of their JV partners, when in reality I was just a victim! It seems they're so drunk with riches they got their email lists mixed up and made the mistake of bragging about how many suckers they screwed over to the actual suckers they did screw over!

    We KNOW they know about this thread because Sean wrote on here earlier, so my guess is they're ignoring it or just don't care - like someone said here - they toss out 100 lines and if only 40% of the people complain and demand a refund, they consider it a big success.

    Anyway, I'm glad they supposedly gave me a refund - I wonder what this Temporary Hold on PayPal is about though and if there is any danger that that means that I might not get my money back.

      Hi Dustball,

      I've had this before and the money was refunded more or less the same week...they're basically checking his account against credibility whilst making a decision to what extent they'll be freezing his assets. And that is gonna hurt him! In the normal case, 180 days

      cheers

    Good evening everyone,

    Looks like we have a few people that we have a few people that have a few issues.

    As you can imagine, with one of the largest launches of the year that our support is inundated with tickets and they are working through every issue and yes, due to a forwarded email issue some personal emails were bounced back. We are taking care of that directly with Verizon and again, that was due to sheer volume of forwards of notices to a personal email.

    Yes, we had issues on day 1 due to demand and a server melt down and we moved that to a new box.

    We want to make sure every customer is happy and if this is not for you then we do offer a full 30 day money back guarantee (No questions asked) and we process refunds as soon as we get them, Alan's support team handles that.

    However, we do not offer or monitor threads on the Warrior Forum for support issues, or any other forum. If you have an issue we will ALWAYS do our best to resolve it directly, one on one, with anyone and you all have access to MY personal Skype if you want to speak to me directly... Can't say fairer than that

    Best regards

    Sean

      Hi Sean. Lets review your response and see if we can't help you improve your service:

      Originally Posted by Sean Donahoe View Post

We are taking care of that directly with Verizon and again, that was due to sheer volume of forwards of notices to a personal email.
      The Take Aways Sean:

      1.)Accept no excuses. Mostly the ones we create for ourselves. This is a red flag warning about our integrity and commitment to our own success Sean. The moment we have to explain our short comings, is the same moment we need to take immediate action in the opposite direction.

      You say, "As you can imagine, with one of the largest launches of the year that our support is inundated with tickets.."

      Surely Sean, after several years and continuous increases in your sales, you are able not only to anticipate the number of outsourced ticket handlers you will require?, But also you have complete confidence in your ability to consult IT Senior Staff at your hosting company? So you can anticipate not only server loads during the launch, but aslo you have committed financially to increase the number of server racks required with a knowledgeable outsourced IT Staff to implement load balancing, bandwidth throttling, and RAM increases?

      And all of this on stand by ready to go in a moment's notice and with your pre-authorization of your corporate credit card on file? As well as a secondary means of wire transfer to accommodate hosting costs in excess of twenty thousand dollars during your launch for bandwidth costs and increased hardware demands? Surely, you have this done? So why the continued excuses Sean? What can Fellow Warrior Forum Members learn from you?

      If you were experiencing such a massive increase in server loads, I find it interesting you were not using, or advised to use a 750GB minimum of RAM, with RAID configuration and at least two hard drives with 15,000 rpm minimums. Most large launches are hosted on 1 TB of RAM now.

      All of this could have been avoided Sean, had you simply consulted with your hosting provider and a hired gun for IT Admin. It's time to ramp up your service Sean. Sales need to take place. This fiasco has hurt your bottom line Sean. There are simply too many similar launches taking place for the same type of products. You can't afford to be wrong anymore.

      2.)
      "due to a forwarded email issue some personal emails were bounced back. We are taking care of that directly with Verizon and again, that was due to sheer volume of forwards of notices to a personal email."
      Sean, again you are accepting your own excuses as an explanation of why you let down your customer base. Whose fault is this? I'd like you to read aloud with me the following phrase. It will help you remember to accept personal responsibility for your future product launches.

      Let's begin Sean: "You know Robert, you're absolutely right. There is no excuse for this. I could have read the TOS of ALL 3rd party providers associated with my product launch. And have been fully prepared to address all possible issues which would impair my full sales potential of my product launch. At the very least, I should never forward email addresses to a mobile personal email address. It's time this teacher took some lessons."

      Success is not measured by server loads and a degradation in machine performance. Most measure success Sean, by Customer Satisfaction.

      Just like unemployment, a dis-satisfaction ratio of even 5% will trigger most credit card merchant providers to suspend and review a merchant's account. First comes the warning letter, followed by suspension of the merchant account until all disputes have been resolved, followed by termination of the merchant account, settling and collection of outstanding charges and damages. In that order, if the merchant does not demonstrate a reduction in this percentage of refund requests and dispute claims.

      This may at first sound like the merchant account providers actually care about the merchant's customers. However, this is just a nice face to put on. The reality is the margins of 2.9% =.30 per sales transaction does not leave alot of room for employing people and infrastructure to manually review and process dispute claims or refunds. It's simply a matter of economic scale.

      And they, like any other business, "refund" to reduce overhead and brand disloyalty. Please have at least five people with full authority and access to process all refunds. You simply can't be doing this task as a one man Alan show, which is why the delays in returns.

      I want you to challenge yourself Sean to commit to a 100% Customer Satisfaction Guarantee Policy. Prepare your launches for this level of performance. Customer Satisfaction is not about the product Sean, it's about the entire online shopping experience your customers go through your web structured sales machines.

      The Internet is still very much like a pinball machine, You need to have all hands on deck at every single turn in your sales funnel. Ready to handle claims, frustrations, upsells, jubilation, disappointments, and success. It's alot to handle. But server loads should never be one of them.

      Nor the lack of personnel to address any customer concern within minutes of contact. In this case, no contact was ever possible. You failed to monitor your own email accounts Sean, customer complaints, and not having enough people to keep your sales machine going strong. It broke. And hopefully you can see just how bad you have ruined your reputation for any of these people to ever purchase from you again.

      I always monitor all Internet Marketers, whether I like their products or not. It's how we learn from the mistakes and successes of others. Welcome to the Warrior's Forum Sean. Where we don't make excuses for our short comings. But always look forward by fixing what is broke and getting better on every aspect of Internet Marketing and Product Development.

      Your "Inner Circle of Marketers" would benefit tremendously Sean by having you help them register to The Warrior's Forum. The greatest marketing forum on the Internet.

      Because here Sean, your customers can still be a dollar shy - Rather than offering your customers a trial one dollar upsell offer on your "Inner Circle Of Marketers." Put yourself in our shoes Sean. Would you pay a dollar for your membership, when you as the teacher are making excuses for customer dis-satisfaction?

      My suggestion? Grab a front seat Sean. By signing up for everything the Senior Warrior Forum Members are selling. Because you could learn so much more Sean. And I hope you do Sean. Once you grasp the fundamentals of online marketing success, you will be ten times better than you are now. And it all starts here Sean. At the "Greatest Marketing Forum on Earth! The Warrior's Forum!"

      Get excited Sean! Because you're going to grow from this I'm already pumped for you Sean. It's really nice to see people from all over the world credit The warrior's Forum as where they gained all their lessons for Internet Success. Cheers My Friend! Cheers! I'll be rooting for you!

      Hey Sean, if it's a "small percentage" of people that aren't happy where the hell are the positive reviews? I've heard one comment that can slightly be thought of as a positive. Good ole Keith said he'd use this content as Tier 2 links.... that's why he requested a refund and why the crappy content posted as "Tier 2" don't help SEO in anyway. Google is onto trash articles.

      Keith
      Question for you. If you posted those trashy articles as Tier 2 or Tier 3 links you think Google would accept these backlinks? Guess again buddy. Like I said before this content is a mish-mash of BS. If you can't figure out what the hell the article is about how can Google.?

        To clarify, I requested a refund, not because I thought the articles produced were bad, but because I didn't think they were better than a tool I already have. Also, I became concerned about having support in the months ahead.

        The reason articles for Tier 2+ don't need to be quite as good as as T1 is because they don't link to your money site so it won't get penalized.

        It's the opinion and experience of many successful seo guys that the further from your money site you are, the less you have to worry about quality. But, even on T1, the article just has to have well structured sentences, appropriate synonyms, and be relevant to your keyword.

        These auto content creators are NOT designed for sites that you expect to impress human readers. They're meant to impress (or at least not disappoint) search bots.

        I believe RCW's output works for that -- assuming you give it good search terms to work with.

          I don't care how much crap you submit for tier linkbuilding. I was simply saying they hold no weight anymore with Google because they're on to that trashy spun content. Why do you think all of those links have been devalued tenfold? It's people like you that publish this trash that have other peoples quality links crushed. It makes me sick to think you would put any of that garbage on any websites and I don't care if it's tier 30. You're wasting your time.

          Good search terms to work with???? Have you seen some of the examples. Since when aren't Weight Loss, PLR, and Diabetes good search terms?

          Did you even read the examples on the salespage? They were BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

          Don't worry though because as long as gullible people continue to buy this ****, they will keep being rehashed.

          As for the idiots promoting this... If they didn't know how the product was going to function but they were promised it would be AMAZING, why the hell didn't they just wait to try it out? They all rushed out and spammed their lists to be the first person to deliver the message. I would be shocked if any of those dopes bought the product even though they claimed it would change the way we think about creating content.

          Oh wait. It did change the way we think about content. Now everybody knows that you get out what you put in. Enter some keywords and click a button... BOOM - sewage for an article.

    One more point I would like to make, when you place ANY dispute in Paypal they hold it for review while the account owner REVIEWS the Paypal transaction to ensure it is within any stated refund period and then authorizes the refund. Paypal does not give automated refunds. Once someone then processes are refund as a vendor and owner on the account it is often reviewed (Manually or Automatically) before the funds are sent back to the purchaser.

    Also a lot of the stated claims and guesses are incorrect. This was massive launch and there are going to be a small percentage of people that are not happy or have issues. However, please note, we will do our best to assist anyone that has an issue and all you have to do is ask our support team and we have added extra people to our support team due to the size of this launch.

    That being said... If you feel you have a problem that you want to discuss one-on-one with me personally just contact me on Skype.

    All the best,

    Sean

    SEO I see what you're trying to do and agree that things could have been handled a bit differently. But, I have to say, you come off sounding one of those darn know it all teachers (we all had one eh?) and quite well, pedantic. It's not Sean's first rodeo and yes everything you mention should have been planned out in advance. But there are better ways of saying it. I do agree the launch seems to be a bit of a cluster.

    I can only join in the large number of guys who were disappointed - to say the least - with the software.

    I purchased RCW a few days ago, but was very disappointed with the quality of the content it produced, but was mainly concerned with the non-performance of some aspects software.

    However, on the other hand, I decided to a request a refund last night (I'm in the UK), and this morning got the 'canned' response, which I rejected and, within 3 hours, I received 2 notifications from PayPal that the refunds (for basic software plus upgrade) had gone through.

    So, in my experience, the customer service has been excellent.

      Well now it is, but not before many of us had a completely different experience. I'm happy your experience was much better.

      Which is why Sean is here at The Warrior's Forum. To learn from his mistakes. And guess what? I'm quite sure we all will make a few more on the way. As I said before in this thread, it's exciting to watch Sean, an up and comer adapt to the Internet Community so quickly!

      Congrats To Sean for your fast turn around efforts of improving customer service.

    But the only way to see his Skype address is here on the Warrior Forum which he says he does not moderate, and he only posted that MANY days after the launch - so long after in fact, that this forum post had become 6 pages long full of complaints & refund requests!

    Also I don't think getting "Mail Delivery Failure" every time you try to email someone is "one on one support". And no effort was made to resolve my issue of the software stuck on "Loading Schedules" - no one ever replied, and thanks to this forum, I found out that other people were having that problem too (which made me doubly glad because I've had marketers in the past "blame the victim" - telling me their software works perfectly for everyone else and I must be stupid because I'm the only one having the problem).

    OK so Sean launched his product on JVZoo where there is no forum so no one can compare notes and reviews, but luckily for us consumers, someone did start a thread about problems with this software /launch here (thank you to whoever started this thread!!!) and Sean has posted here too which means he's not "unaware" that it exists. Also I see on his profile that he has a long history here.

    That reminds me of something someone said here - that a marketer who knows a lot about the Warrior Forum might avoid selling their product here because they were afraid of bad reviews.

    Besides all the customer service issues (and please stop blaming the server meltdown - those things happen sometimes with popular launches - we understand and will be patient, but that's usually because the marketer is on here immediately apologizing and answering people and working on fixing the problem, or is telling us so through emails), Sean must have seen that several people had problems with the software stuck on "Loading Schedules" and would not work at all.

    The very least he could have done was say he was AWARE of the problem, SORRY, and that he was working on getting it resolved and would have an update or work-around solution for us very soon.

    To be more professional though, that problem (and other potential problems that should have been found during testing) should have been listed in their user manual ("A $47 Value!" Are you kidding?! Have you EVER heard of anyone charging MONEY for the user manual (and it was just a very short online PDF file with no Trouble Shooting section at all!) that goes with the product they just purchased?!), or hey - how about on their "Support" site, which only had one word typed into their "Trouble Shooter" (the word "General" showed up on your screen and that was it!) and a Knowledge Base that came up with the error "This file is empty".

    I could even forgive all this if this was Sean's first launch, but from reading the posts on here I see it's not.

    ScottyG I don’t think that just “not being totally ripped off” is a good enough recommendation to buy from someone again. I don’t think anyone should feel “lucky” that the person gave them a refund and didn’t run off and steal their money – I’m willing to forgive mistakes if the marketer seems to be making a concerned and sincere effort, but as far as just being grateful that they didn’t steal my money - I have higher standards than that for sales and customer service!

    And where did you get this fact: “...paypal does not refund software”?

      7.3 Ineligible Items. PayPal Buyer Protection only applies to PayPal payments for certain tangible, physical goods. Payments for the following are not eligible for reimbursement under PayPal Buyer Protection:

      Intangible items, including Digital Goods (subject to exceptions as listed in Section 7.6)

      <snip>

      Even if your payment is not eligible for PayPal Buyer Protection, you can file a Dispute and resolve the issue directly with the Seller, however, PayPal will not find in your favor if you escalate a Dispute to a Claim when an item is not eligible for PayPal Buyer Protection.

      <snip>

      7.6 Digital Goods Micropayment Disputes and Claims. Digital Goods are generally not eligible for coverage. However, if you file a Dispute for a Digital Goods purchase of up to the amounts in the table below, PayPal may, at its sole discretion, refund the transaction without requiring you to escalate the Dispute to a Claim.

      US$ 3.99

      <snip>

      https://cms.paypal.com/al/cgi-bin/ma...locale.x=en_US
      This has been the policy for quite sometime and many warriors have found out the hard way that refunds for digital goods and services through paypal are not always automatic. That said, the policy is not always set in stone as I have been refunded for digital goods over $3.99 when I disputed bogus software and image purchases I made via a Fiverr clone site. The software and images sold to me were clearly pirated so I disputed the purchases with paypal when the sellers and the site seemed to be ignoring my concerns and claims. Paypal refunded me and they thanked me for reporting the seller.

      Best of luck to all.

        I like the advice someone gave earlier - it's better to wait and read the reviews and pay the higher price for something here, than to rush in for an Early Bird discount from someone you don't know and don't know their reputation! Good advice Warriors!!

          I believe you were looking for this?

          Paragraph 7, section (ii): (ii) Always check Warrior Forum's Review Section, bypassing any discounted deals. It's better to pay more and win, than pay less and lose.

              I just requested my refund for this software too. The quality of the articles it generates is disappointing. And of course if you auto spin them to get them unique, the articles are just gibberish.

              I wasn't expecting top notch content but the fact that they expect people to actually set these articles up to be auto posted to your blogs is laughable.

                Just sent my 'refund request' ticket. I tried to work the software, but, like you said the content is terrible! Like, first paragraph will say, "In these 5 steps you will see how to..."

                And the second paragraph, will say, "And in these next 10 points will help your project be profitable..."

                I thought this software would save me time, not add to it. Plus, everytime I would hit post, I got an error, "response from server not valid xml". WTF?

                Anyway, I should of snooped around here before purchasing it.

                So, after all this, do any of you have any 'content' software suggestions?

                I've been sitting on the fence, about get "Curationsoft", but, don't want people to leave the site as soon as the come in.
                Any thoughts?

                  A plugin called curation fire is what you're looking for. It will find relevant articles, videos, images, etc and YOU get to curate, rather than it spinning, leading to better content.

                  I was on the early bird list and picked up the software on launch day. I'm still getting several emails each day talking about how great this software is and I'm unsubscribing from each of them.

                  The emails I'm getting are saying things like "finally a content software that actually works" and "now you can fire your writer." If the people pimping this software actually used it and had one honest bone in their bodies they couldn't possibly make statements like those.

                  At least it makes it easy for me to hit the unsubscribe button in my emails. When I read product reviews about IM products I would really like it if the people reviewing the products would be truthful rather than saying anything they need to to put another couple of bucks in their pockets.

          Yes you can, just like any debit or credit card. It is a Visa card, with all the benefits associated with that. I currently have a $497 dispute in with them, and I have had one other refund from them from a dispute. I have had that card for a long time and I use it for my business expenses. It has worked out real well for me. One Paypal account with my personal card, and one with my WM card.

    I think i shall request a refund and if that does not go my way, then good old Walmart moneycard to the rescue. I always use that to pay for my online purchases.

    I'm sure you all have heard of the MMO niche's correlation to the 1849 great American gold rush! Some of the settlers figured out that they can get a quicker payday by selling mining tools such as shovels, picks and pans to the gold miners.

    In the make money online niche, marketers follow the very same philosophy by selling other marketers the tools needed to make money online, the only difference is that those tools worked.

    When I say that they worked I don't mean that if you used them that you would find gold, but when you used a shovel, it did what it was supposed to do, it dug, a pick picked and a pan sifted.

    So by the same analogy this software was supposed to fetch quality content and instead it retrieved diaria on a paper plate.


    This made me angry so I feverishly worked all night to create my latest content getting software and I proudly named it the Content Scrubber. It doesn't use a spinner, it uses a proprietary scrubber that scrubs any article clean.

    You can see it here.

    Here's the line from Sean that just baffles me:

    "However, we do not offer or monitor threads on the Warrior Forum for support issues, or any other forum."

    Come on! He already commented in the thread. He knows about the firestorm of discontent.

    Does anybody believe he really didn't check in to see what's going on? Wouldn't a responsible and truthful product creator and seller want to see if there was a problem they could address?

    Come to think of it, even an irresponsible one would check in.

    This is very revealing.

        I still did not get my refund - I mean I got an email from PayPal on the 16th saying a refund had been issued, but it's still on hold with PayPal (nothing has showed up in my bank account). Someone said it takes about a week... I hope this doesn't mean that Sean or whoever on his team can stop me from getting it - we'll see.

        Sam M I've been getting those obnoxious JV emails too - what a dufus sending customers and ex-customers JV emails! Especially EX-customers! Do I really want to hear he made $200,000 when I'm still waiting for him to give me my $44 back for the broken software? And no mention of the problems customers are having in his emails so obviously he doesn't care at all. The thing that makes me maddest though is to see him still pushing this junk on more innocent unsuspecting people and encouraging his affiliates to do it too. I wish I could warn them all!

        TimPears thanks for the Walmart card info, although I thought you meant it could be used to avoid using PayPal (avoid the "no refunds on software" rule) so I guess I misunderstood.

    Hey, CreativeWays, sorry the thread upset you.

    Many of us were not bashing, but posting legitimate concerns. And we DID contact support which was not very responsive. Sean acknowledged that. Many who posted negative comments DID buy it and were posting their actual experiences.

    And, your efforts to intimidate and silence legitimate concerns is not cool.

    As for your suggestion that we should try making our own software before criticizing Alan's, well that's just silly.

    Have you ever gone to a terrible movie? One that was just painful to watch? How about a restaurant that had horrible food or slow and disrespectful service. Maybe you stayed at a hotel with poor service and stayed in a dirty room with no airconditioning.

    Would you feel justified in writing bad reviews about them?

    How would you feel if someone came back and said you sucked? What if they told you you should produce your own movie, start your own restaurant, and build your own hotel so you know how hard it is and how bad you feel when people post bad reviews.

    Silly, huh?

      The exact same thought occurred to me, Martin.

      Yes, I too bought this against my better judgement and tried it. Sure enough, most of the time it spews out garbage. Not worth keeping for the rare occasions it produces something useable, so I've wiped it off my hard drive. Looks like I'll be going back to doing things the hard way. Money refunded, but time lost. Lesson learned.

    CreativeWays - that's nice that you stand up for your friends, but this is about business and facts, not your emotions. Also it's a little insane to accuse strangers of personally bashing someone that they don't even know, especially if you had read all the comments detailing the software and support problems like you said you had.

    And No I didn't contact Alan on Skype or PM him on the Warrior Forum for his help - those options were not offered when I purchased the software (and not everyone can even use the PM function here)! You and Sean both talked about getting help from them via their Skype profiles here on the Warrior Forum; but they launched their product from JVZOO (NOT the Warrior Forum), and have left a post here telling us that they are NOT READING the Warrior Forum(?!) regarding this product! They also sold this product to the general public - I'm sure a lot of people bought it
    who don't even know about the Warrior Forum!

    These are legitimate complaints about faulty software and terrible customer service. As for your emotional response, the most important emotions that need to be dealt with are those of the people who endured all the hassles of this launch and wasted time and money. I'm sure (as Sean & Alan probably are too) that a lot of people won't have the time or energy to jump through all the hoops & barriers they've set up to try to get help or refunds either and will now have to live with frustration, disappointment and the loss of their time and money.

    Those are the emotions that everyone should be concerned about! Getting angry while ignoring the facts is immature, as is name-calling (calling people "idiots") and accusing someone of being two-faced because they liked Sean and/or his other products but didn't like this product! :rolleyes:

    First of all, I was referring to the general category of auto content creators, not just RCW. But, maybe I should have said, "These auto content are NOT well suited for sites that you expect to impress human readers."

    That would have been more accurate. I don't think it's smart to throw out a product that works well for some situations just because it doesn't work well in a situation touted in the sales letter.

      And, your efforts to intimidate and silence legitimate concerns is not cool.

      As for your suggestion that we should try making our own software before criticizing Alan's, well that's just silly.

      Have you ever gone to a terrible movie? One that was just painful to watch? How about a restaurant that had horrible food or slow and disrespectful service. Maybe you stayed at a hotel with poor service and stayed in a dirty room with no airconditioning.

      Would you feel justified in writing bad reviews about them?

      How would you feel if someone came back and said you sucked? What if they told you you should produce your own movie, start your own restaurant, and build your own hotel so you know how hard it is and how bad you feel when people post bad reviews.

      Silly, huh?
      @Keith Price.

      Not sure but I think your wrong. Yea I been in many movies that suck. But I do not ask my money back I been to restaurant. Had crappy servers and still left a tip was not what they expected but they got something. And for there food been there to but I did not ask for my refund.

      I guess I am a different kind of person.

      As for the making your own software. It is not silly as you will see how bashing feels and how hard it is to create a product. And then find out people hate you over it. Or want there money right away. They do not even try to contact Alan on Skype As his skype user name is surely on here.

It came to mind as one of the tools I use and came to mind also because I had first looked at Curation Soft before finding out about Fire. I said nothing about Alan or RCW, neither of which I have a problem with.

      I use several of Sean's plugins all of which help me get my stuff done amd recommend them. And Sean is an awesome guy, very helpful. In fact, when I do Magic Submitter coaching, I keep in mind how Sean runs his Sessions and how relaxed he is. I use him as a model, so to speak.

      So get off my case please. I've nothing but good things to say about Sean. Two timing? really? It would be like Noble Samurai yelling at me because I gave a positive review to a competitor of theirs, Keyword King (in fact I did). I use both, but both fill different needs. MS is more in depth, KK is faster, etc.
      @cypherslock

      I am sorry though what I meant about 2 timing is this. and it is very simple. instead of offering a plugin for someone to buy from this tread. You could have since you did give a great and awesome testimonial I did read your Testimonial. That you could have just said this to them Contacct Alan on Skype or PM him instead of giving them a curation Plugin. If you wanted to give them a suggestion you could also have just pmed them.

      First I use RCW and it works great for me. Second I did not use it to write my comment here. I do agree I suck at Grammar. But picking on me about someone else's product is wrong and your an idiot.

      @DustBall

      First your an idiot for using bold on your text. So you think I would read it better or something.

      As for what you said. If you had a issue with Alans Product I am sure if you contacted Sean's support you would have gotton a Answer. And if you asked them for Alans Skype I am sure they would have given it to you. You are right about them not reading these post but I can tell you this if you or someone sent him a PM here. He would have answered. It seems that most people just gave up before even trying different Avenues to get help.

      As for being a Fan and Sean And Alan are good friends to me. And yes Friends do back each other up. yea I might have a hot head but I can tell you that Alans software works. And works well.

      Offering a plug-in instead of a refund with the first email response is totally unacceptable. They do this knowing that some of the same yuppies that bought this crap in the first place, will give the plug-in a go instead of persisting with the refund.

      When are people going to stop making excuses for trash products. This product, from launch til now, is complete garbage. How can someone launch this many products and still be clueless as to how to handle servers and support issues....

      One more thing to note. Early in this thread there were a couple of posts saying how great this product is. Did anyone take note of their post counts?????? 1,3,2,1 etc... Wow, just starting out on the Warrior Forum and they chose this software to comment on. That doesn't seem a little shady.

      The thing that's really disappointing is the amount of emails I've received (regarding RCW), from people I used to really respect in this industry. They obviously haven't tried this crap. They all got sucked in to the 4 upsell sales funnel and the affiliate contest.

      All I know is that a lot of respectable marketers are going to lose huge chunks of their mailing lists.
      @Shemp Hain

      I agree with you in your earlier comment about all the negative but no Positive feedback on this Software.

      But as for your thoughts on other parts I have to diss agree. If you new anything about Product Launches. You do not ever release a refund on first day of launch or the first 72 hours.

      And if Sean wants to give out a plugin instead of refunding then that is up to him there is nothing wrong with that. It is up to the person who is asking for a refund if they want to trade there money for the plugin.

      As post counts go on the threads who the hell cares about Post threads. If they have used the software and liked it then they should be able to post a review.

      As for Marketers who you think will lose there list that is possible but then it is also possible that they will keep there list. Sean is one of the most respectable Marketer I have ever met. There are a few but Sean is 10 stars in my count. And Alan is up there also.

      In your post below commenting on Chris Grables comments I am not related to Sean I just met him a few years ago.

      And I do not work for him.

    No, you are wrong! Sean's 30 day, Iron-clad 100% money back Satisfaction Guarantee states No fuss. No headache. Stress free.

      Yea I agree with that though anyone ever wonder how he gets his epc so high? That is how.
      But that not important.

      His Team does say come back in 72 hours and they will give the refund no question.

      And I know for sure they would.

      And for Seans support it does say on the main message for support that they will get back to you within 48 hours.

      And Keith Price so what I am a thick head.

      But alot of the people on here are also thick heads and one sided.

      I know Seans products are good no one wants to stay long enough to get them to work.

      As for Alans product I and like 100 beta testers tested it for over a month so It does work. And when we found stuff wrong he was right on that and fixed it.

            This means he will think about wasting 3 hours trying to decipher the crap that is returned with this software.

            Then he'll decide to

            A) copy and paste something from ezine
            B) outsource and article
            C) spend an hour to write a quality article from scratch

            Guys remember, he does not do grammar, maybe that's why the articles make total sense to him.

      I would suggest ignoring his posts as he isn't providing any truly objective reasons against the discrepancies experienced by the buyers of this product.

    creativeways -

    I apologize for using the bold text - this is my first time participating on this forum and I'm still learning how things work - I did not mean to make the whole message bold.

    And you're right - even making the whole message bold hasn't helped you understand anything I said. I told you that Alan and Sean's Skype and PM addresses were NOT offered with the software (I thought you bought the software? So you should know that!) and that the software launch had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WARRIOR FORUM, yet you still keep harping about how everyone should have gone to the Warrior Forum to get help for problems with a JVZoo product (and then you reminded us that Sean said he would not be monitoring the Warrior Forum anyway :confused.

    Also since you said you read all the messages on this thread before your first rant, you will know that I and many others DID try many times to get help through "Sean's support" (support website with no forum, no content in the "Knowledge Base", a broken "Trouble Shooter", login problems, a user manual with no Help section, and Mail Delivery Failures if you tried to reply to an email). And since you said you read all the posts on the thread, you would know that the software does NOT work for everyone - it gets stuck on "Loading Schedules" and can't be used at all, and some people reported other problems as well.

    PS - You spelled "you're" wrong when you said "Your an idiot.".

      As for support I do not think people tried all avenues. Sean and Alan are both on Facebook they can be found if people tried hard enough. yes it not good to contact them through those avenues but if there support not working well then there are ways to get ahold of them.

    Despite the negative comments on this thread, Sean persists in sending out emails claiming he's getting nothing but positive feedback.

    You've all probably got this message, but here's a portion of an email he sent on Friday:

    >We have put our heart and souls into this amazing software and there
    is SO MUCH POWER here that every day we are hearing about customers
    who are coming up with incredible ways to use this tool...

    Even things we had never thought of and that is AWESOME...

    feedback we are getting is nothing short of astounding... <

    Curious. Aside from Creativeways, the feedback here has been pretty damning. And judging by Creativeways' spelling, grammar and logic, he hasn't set the bar very high.

    Sean is holding a training session this evening and I've signed up for it. It will be a last-ditch effort to try to get the software to work properly. If this fails I'll be joining most of you in asking for a refund.

      Hi Doiron,

      1.) Don't forget, Sean D. is a professional marketer, he would hardly put out emails that suggest how how crappy the product is!

      2.) Don't think as an Internet marker for a second......think as a customer that has never heard of the Warrior Forum and is not used to the protection we offer each other. Think as a customer that knows little or nothing about IM, Google SERPs, Blogging etc... Think as a person that wants to make money and is looking for a start in life in the IM area.

      It is these guys that are being targeted and know no better than to believe such a professional marketer and that the sun shines out of his backside.(admitted, he is good at his job).

      This is where he makes money. The percentage of buyers via the WF are minimal compared to all traffic sources out there(a % that won't cause his hair to grey out, but those who do read this will at least have a fair warning and avoid the possible losses.

      The WF community is nevertheless a large one and those within it will be happy that they're able to be a part of this upfront protection.

      Of course, not everything claimed can be taken as gold but I think the overall picture paints more than a thousand words.

      good luck

      cheers

          indeed, but at some stage the glass will become empty and too many negative reviews on page#1 of the search engines via the WF won't necessary help fill his glass again!

            "Sean sold us his vision but unfortunately not the reality of the vision."

            I like the guys concepts, but when you sell something to a client you better make sure it works!

              Sometimes it's necessary to let the tiger lose before taming it. Unfortunately this product is the best example of that, you have to bring the money in before the product is finished, in order finance the final stages.

              Nevertheless, one thing is for sure, RCW will never substitute legible or valuable content as there isn't a computer/product on earth that is capable of understanding the true composition of semantics.

              "Hope" is always the last thing that dies and also the reason people invest in such rubbish(including myself)... "Maybe its better than the last product I bought"...."Maybe technology has improved"...LOL

              Mention the word electronic/automated and people expect it to do as promised, like a TV -push button-on-off. Its a paradise for internet marketers and I doubt things will ever change. It's in the nature of mankind to find loopholes and use them to our benefit.

                AS a software developer the costs of completing a project are'nt that high and especially to Sean who claims to have made fortunes so perhaps he can use some of it to fix the dream he started.

                To use consumers as BETA testers and as mugs to finance your venture is poor. Can you imagine going to Mercedes for a brand new car and as you climb in that new car they say, "thanks for the deposit, that will allow us to build the engine now"...no, me neither.....

                Software should be completed when it goes to market and then improved upon. Why mar your reputation with a half baked cake?

                  Don't worry, I'm on YOUR side But to say that software development costs are not that high, is like saying a piece of string isn't long.
                  It really depends on the programmer/s and their dedication to the project. One big discrepancy and they're out and the next problem starts. No programmer on earth wants to take on projects started by others. This can sky-rocket the development costs and financial deadlines.

                  But you're right, we are not Guinea pigs

                  As a developer, you should know that software is never complete. There are always defects, and enhancements. At some point and time, it has to hit the market to generate revenue if only to further development. Car manufacturers only differ from software vendors through their method of sales and testing, but their principles are very similar if not the same. You see recalls despite the amount of testing that went into it. How many people have stopped buying Toyotas? Fords? Dodges?

                  It's unrealistic to expect a "perfect" delivery. Microsoft, Apple, Oracle, Apache, and the list goes on of vendors who are still in business despite imperfect "launches". Do you still use their software?

                  Just a cursory look at the software, and I find myself asking why are there two rows of tabs with identical information? How can you resize the application? Is it intuitive to use without watching three hours of video? Content Fusion sounds great in theory. I find myself more curious about the algorithm used to combine multiple articles into one "cohesive" article. Just trying to match the grammar and tone between multiple articles is challenging enough. I'm also curious to see how a "full" article is laid out and how much freedom I have with article templates. Can I create my own html template? That would be cool. Keywords... just how specific do they have to be in order to get a relevant and useful article? I think I'll try, "How to pickup sober, high-profile women at a bar in northern downtown minneapolis while on a tight budget". Aight, I digress...

                  The point is, it's all about expectations. When anything/one falls short of what is promised, then everything else is subject to scrutiny... applicable or not.

                    Some good points there, yes software has to hit the market at some point but Seans software hits the market when it doesnt work i.e the car has no engine...this is no recall on a faulty part, this is failure to fit an engine.

                    I agree, RCW has 2 menu's...straight away thats consfusing. Also the drop below ribbon bar fails to have a way to put it back to the top of the ribbon bar...

                    Anyways, back to Article Wizard...Ran many test and sadly it failed to produce very much after that first article (in my niche). So it too got dropped.

                    Then I tried a few other pieces of software.

                    What I have come to reailse is that if article creation software works well then you will get an article whose sentences read well but the article will not "flow". Nothing beats the human side.

                    So here's my approach (with humour):

                    1) write|beg|borrow|steal an article
                    2) Spend 15 minutes adding content to it and changing it a little (mix n match 2 or more articles)
                    3) Run it through best spinner
                    4)Perform nested spin (takes 2-5 hrs min to setup) Spinning words,sentences,paragraphs,concepts. (Think "spins within spins"). The idea being word count, sentence count, paragraph count are all unique. Spin URL's, Anchor text sentences and words within the anchor text.
                    5) Add some content within the article that is spun i.e video vs twitter link etc
                    5) Check a few of the spun articles to make sure they actually read well. If in doubt use WHITESMOKE to verify the grammar.

                    At the end your article will be highly unique. Then post it out.

                    The problem is internet marketers try to bang out thousands of articles with the press of one button. This is the dream IM's try to sell us. They aim at a million targets and miss them all. My approach is to make sure you have one excellent quaity article to start with then spin it out. I own 50 sites in one niche so one well put together article, well spun, is a better offer to Google than gibberish.

                    I'll et you know how it goes!

                I am not going to quote people here no more! I been told by a few good friends just to leave the thread alone as you all are set in your ways. You rather create issues then try to fix them.

                As for people talking about how my Grammar I have Dyslexia and it is hard for me to do Grammar. I did not do well in school for English and Grammar. I though use RCW for the Grammar parts.

                If you do not like something so be it. You do not have to bash them or me about it.

                Who cares if it does not work for you if it does not get your friggin money back and be on with it. If you all spent as much time as you do bashing Sean or Alan or now me you would have more time in your IM life that you would be making more then enough money to not worry about the little things like this.

                But no you have to sit on a Forum watch for the next thread so you can be in on it. So you can bash the hell out of it.

                Like I said about Seans products They work for me I know a few more that it works for.

                So if you had patience you would keep the product and wait til it gets fixed. Yea it does not work for some but I know they all work for me.

                RCW is included it works. And it works great for me.

                Now instead of coming back on here bashing me again go do something productive with your business instead of bashing Sean Alan or myself.

                I know everyone likes to get a good laugh at my expense who the hell cares. I know I am done.

                I will go make my money and I will laugh at you all for keeping up the crap on the WF.

                  Creativeways, despite all your protestations I'm not sure if you've asked yourself the most important question - Will I really make any money from this investment?'

                  I seriously don't believe you will. If you use the content generated by RCW for your blogs or other marketing materials your visitors will leave in droves, never to return. If you already have visitors, then you'll be seriously undermining your own credibility and your conversions will plummet.

                  I would urge you to forget this junk and move on. This isn't personal, it's business. Cutting off your nose to spite your face is never a good strategy.

    Tiger, be careful, could get you into trouble. I don't think Edward should have lost it like that, but this is just perpetuating things. Edward is actually not a bad guy personally. For me, my whole thing is, I'll use whatever tool I have in my toolbox that is best suited for the situation. Some days I'll use Market Samurai for deep analysis, others I'll use Niche Finder, and still others I'll use Keyword King. And it's the same here: RCW was obviously not working for the gentleman a couple pages back and I had something that might help. I wasn't concerned with bashing anyone, just giving an option that I'd personally used in addition to RCW.

      I don't recall ANYONE here in the thread, EVER insulting Edward but "creativeways" is DEFINITELY INSULTING people here rather than providing constructive help or opinions.

        I just checked my PayPal account & the hold on my refund was removed on Friday. Today is Monday and the money is still not in my bank account, but I'll give it another day or so. Seems like all is OK but I can't really relax until I see the actual dollars come back to me.

          Hey Dustball n' All,

          Even when then this thread has its funny side steps, I believe the point of it has reached its destination. No product owner in the world needs PayPal Disputes, that can backfire on the business to such an extent that it can literally turn to bankruptcy faster than a blink of the eye(unless they have the necessary funds to compensate such a dilemma).

          All in all, I believe the message has come across and any product owner reading this will think twice before releasing future products.

          I definitely would like to thank all contributions to this thread, as I too, have learned a few things that will certainly help with my future releases, enabling me to provide smoother transactions.

          Cheers

    Hey creativeways I just have one request - actually I'm begging you ... With an attitude like yours PLEASE do not EVER go into a career as a medical device salesman!

    Who cares if it does not work for you...
    So if you had patience you would keep the product and wait til it gets fixed.
    Yea it does not work for some but I know they all work for me.
    ...it works great for me.

    Did anyone else watch the "Training session" yesterday?

    Well, on July 19 it was billed as a live training session for Rapid Content Wizard buyers but that concept sort of morphed over the last few days. Recent email reminders started calling it an Empire Builders Bootcamp.

    Although Sean stated at the very beginning that this wasn't to be a selling webinar, it turned out to be a pitch for his $47/month inner circle membership. He offered a $1 14-day trial membership, converting to the full membership automatically unless cancelled.

    Another interesting thing was his telling his audience that Google was discontinuing the Google Adwords Keyword Tool but ... not to worry ... he was releasing his own software to replace it.

    He didn't mention that Google itself was replacing the Keyword Tool with their new Keyword Planner. I submitted that info in the question box but wasn't answered.

    Not really a surprise.

    He was on with Alan who sounded genuine to me. I know you can't tell that by listening to people with 100% certainty but it was just my impression.

    My impression of Sean was the opposite. There was just something there that didn't sound right to me. Who knows? Maybe I was affected by my bad experience with the RCW. Or maybe I'm perceptive.

    I'd be interested in knowing if anyone else sat through the pitch.

              I am only comming on here just to let you know that Sean was live last night with everyone. He did answer some questions but did not have time to answer 700 questions. As the attendee list was around 700 people.

              As for getting ahold of Alan If everyone who has a issue watch the video as Alan does give everyone who is having issues with support his own email address in there.

              As for the upsell for the Inner Circle. I would take it. As there is more then enough products that you get for free in there you get a skype room where other marketers that are members help out like Alan said in the training video.

              If you have any questions anyone in the Skype room would help you got all levels of marketers. If you do not want to continue then cancel. The membership is ran through Clickbank so you will be able to cancel the membership but I believe if you give Seans inner circle a shot you will see how he shows how to really market products and run a business. You would get to see Ask Sean 2 times which he does answer new members questions first.

              And if you are still not wanting the membership just cancel.

              But for the sake of this message think about this Sean is a Marketer. When you launch a product you are in a webinar supposed to upsell your other products to make even more money. That tactic is new.

                A fair point BUT why would I join the inner circle of someone whose last 3 products lack any credibility? Bought, tried, failed, refunded thats really all I need to know about anyones credibility.

      Well, on July 19 it was billed as a live training session for Rapid Content Wizard buyers but that concept sort of morphed over the last few days. Recent email reminders started calling it an Empire Builders Bootcamp.

      Although Sean stated at the very beginning that this wasn't to be a selling webinar, it turned out to be a pitch for his $47/month inner circle membership. He offered a $1 14-day trial membership, converting to the full membership automatically unless cancelled.

      Another interesting thing was his telling his audience that Google was discontinuing the Google Adwords Keyword Tool but ... not to worry ... he was releasing his own software to replace it.

      He didn't mention that Google itself was replacing the Keyword Tool with their new Keyword Planner. I submitted that info in the question box but wasn't answered.

      Not really a surprise.

      He was on with Alan who sounded genuine to me. I know you can't tell that by listening to people with 100% certainty but it was just my impression.

      My impression of Sean was the opposite. There was just something there that didn't sound right to me. Who knows? Maybe I was affected by my bad experience with the RCW. Or maybe I'm perceptive.

      I'd be interested in knowing if anyone else sat through the pitch.
      I was on the call last night also. Not only did I just purchased RCW, but i bought Parallels AND Windows 7 in order to use it on my Mac. It took forever to download and was SUPER slow on my computer. While filling in the settings, my Amazon Associate API keys would not be accepted. Wish I had found this forum before i paid for something that I don't like. I was considering joining the IMWealthBuilder thingy, but now...
      Does anyone have a suggestion for an alternative for content building and Amazon affiliate stuff? And if you can't tell already, I AM a newbie to Internet Marketing.

        Hey GBG

        The MOST important thing to know about IM(especially as a noob) is KNOW which area of IM you want to work in, WHAT are your Interests, Your finacial LIMITS and BE READY TO LEARN with an unbreakable dedication, determination and perseverance.

        The learning curve can be become extremely tedious, frustrating and expensive IF YOU MAKE THE FOLLOWING MISTAKE:

        jump/switch from one decision/income source to another BEFORE (not necessarily becoming an EXPERT in ONE area of IM) but knowing enough to profit and earn a living form ONE SOURCE.

        If you make the above mistake, you will NEVER, I repeat NEVER make money, au contraire, you'll just end up paying for every shiny product that comes out and will become TOTALLY OVERLOADED. MARK MY WORDS!!!!! It is the No.1 KILLER in IM

        And remember, "money does not grow on trees" or in the IM language "There is NO MAGIC Push-Button Product"(no matter what anyone tries to tell you), it is a business and you have to invest Sweat and money.

        There are many areas to choose from, so do your homework before making a decision.

        here are just a few areas to consider:

        Amazon affiliate
        CPA affiliate
        Adsense affiliate
        PPV affiliate

        Domain Flipping
        Website Creation
        Product creation

        Outsourcing services
        Traffic Services

        SEO Services

        Things you should/must know before attempting any of the above:

        KEYWORDS, what are they and how to implement them correctly.
        TRAFFIC SOURCES, there are free and paid sources and how to use them.
        SOCIAL SITES, what are they and how to use them.

        If you try to skip the individual learning curves you will be doing yourself a GREAT INJUSTICE.

        Search the warrior forum for renowned sources of the above E.G "best Amazon Affiliate mentors" or similar

        here might be a good start: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...t-started.html

        hope that helps

          Tiger strong and tiger true, this last response.

          Good to see some real substance, basic 'meat 'n taters', take home, useful IM food.
          The first tentative foot tread down this income path always brave and well intended, soon falters, as the path splits,

          "Which way to go... right or left"?
          And further on yet another split, but three routes this time to choose, and on and on.
          Some trails become so thick with obstruction, even the sharpest of IM machetes' cannot penetrate through.


          This thread born of supposed betrayal and deep frustration, echo'd repeats, has become so common that one can become inured to the pain of others... and seemingly calloused' indifference here, portrayed with silent answers.

          Nothing new here folks, just the craft of selling. A finely honed art... to make us believe.

          Observe.

          '' How many miles per gallon do you get with your vehicle"?

          "well,hmmm about 28."

          "But didn't your shiny sales brochure say 42"?

          A sales pitch is a sales pitch, whether written, oral, or clammy hand to anxious hand, look right in your eye balls, belly to belly sell.

          Beware, employ your due diligence, study past bios, previous history, ''unbiased review sites'', ask around.

          Yes the ''scarcity, timer on tactics'' will make us frantic, please remember to breathe, step back momentarily.
          Remember, there will always be a next [and possibly improved], similar product, method, program, software looming on the horizon. Heck these days, maybe even the same week.

          Tiger'war, it is indeed.

      I don't come to the WF much anymore, but I did get an email promoting the RCW from someone I trust. WOW, did this person just lose all my trust. I actually thought of buying RCW, but had a really horrible experience with Loki-Link builder, which was sold by Sean also. I swore that I wouldn't buy anything else from Sean ever again.

      Doiron, after doing face to face sales for over 15 years, what i've learned is that your gut is ALWAYS right.


      I wanted to mention a couple of other software that I have used or currently use and am happy with.

      Wicked Article Creator. It works well and the reason I like it is because I can load it into my software quickly and it puts out usable content. (It's also only a 1 time purchase and get updated regularly.)

      Instant Article is also good, but I no longer have this one since moving to WAC.

      There is also one called Content Foundry. It works a lot like Article Builder in the fact that you build your own content base and then pull articles out of your own base. (I looked into AB, but I found just to many duplicates for the amount of people using the service)


      I mention these as alternatives is that they have been around for a while and are being updated all the time and LOTS of people use them everyday.

      Show me ONE piece of software that Sean has promoted and has updated 60 days after release. NO ONE can....because there isn't one.

        First thing is this! Sean been updating Promote Me Pro and the rest of his Plugins. But this thread is not about Sean.

        Sean did not write this software Alan did. And Alan did a great job with it. He is a great programmer.

        He also had 100s of beta testers and suggestors help out with it. I am one of them

        I am telling you all this One time only stop bashing Alan and Sean go pick on someone else.

          1st, Sean has his name all over this, so it's "his" software.

          2nd, Alan maybe a "great programmer", but it doesn't change the fact that only time will tell if his software is as good as WAC or IRW which have been around and used by 1,000's of people regularly.

          3rd, I'm not sure why you feel like people are attacking you personally. Personally I would have the same reaction this thread's had if my own mother coded a crappy piece of software and then tried to sell it.

          I don't know how many gallons of Sean's "Coolaid" you've consumed, but you are defending a guy who has a reputation for promoting things and then abandoning them, OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

    Honestly, get a cheap (300-400$) windows computer and use that for your IM endeavors. Trying to use Mac with parallels will be an exercise in slowness and frustration, as most (not all but most) IM related programs are windows only. Small price to pay to really get going I think.

What great "business" training!

    Just imagine how easy it will be to cancel your membership once he gets his hands on your credit card or PayPal address - a lot of poor suckers will probably be paying $47 a month until they're in their graves!

      First thing is I been following Sean for 3 years now. And I been in his Inner Circle for that long. I have not once ever thought he sold a bad product.

      And I can tell you this again And I am sure you will still come back and say bad things.

      If you could not contact Sean or Alan via Jvzoo on here on skype on facebook then your not trying hard enough to get something you bought fixed.

      You just see all the bad things go and buy the product then want to get a refund also as you think you can just come on and give people your thoughts

      And if you read my last post the IMSC is ran from Clickbank so if someone wanted to cancel there membership they can do so from there and Clickbank would handle it.

      IMSC membership is none Refundable as you get to visit it for 14 days for a $1 trial. IF you do not like what you see within that time frame then cancel. If what you see is good then stay.

      But you all think Sean is this great and badass Marketer who scams people. Go look at Anik Singal Mike Filsame and a few others now those are scammers. and idiots. But Sean and Alan are good people and Yes I will defend them 2 to the end of time if I have to.

      If you keep bashing Sean and Alan I will keep on defending them.

      If you all spend so much time on here how do you get friggin work done.

      Or how do you test so called software if your all on here bashing Sean & Alan.

      And Dustball if you had any cents you would have gotton out while you had a chance.

      As for JVzoo Support I know who is running that show and That person is good with support so if you had a issue with one of the products I am sure they would have gotten to Sean or Alan for you or anyone else.

      You just use this lame excuse so you can bash another Marketer.

        If you could not contact Sean or Alan via Jvzoo on here on skype on facebook then your not trying hard enough to get something you bought fixed.

        There should NEVER be the need to find people, support addresses should be reachable and guaranties should be fulfilled END OF STORY!

        You just see all the bad things go and buy the product then want to get a refund also as you think you can just come on and give people your thoughts.

        WRONG: People invest HARD EARNED CASH into a product and expect it do as promised. Nobody is "looking for all the bad things", they purchased because they BELIEVED what was PROMISED, only to be gravely disappointed!

        And if you read my last post the IMSC is ran from Clickbank so if someone wanted to cancel there membership they can do so from there and Clickbank would handle it.

        AGAIN: There should NEVER be the need to find people, support addresses should be reachable, guaranties should be fulfilled and request should be honored. END OF STORY!

        If you keep bashing Sean and Alan I will keep on defending them.

        AS far as we are concerned you can "CROWN THEIR PERIWINKLES EVERY TWO MINUTES, it's not going to rectify the problems we experienced with the product/s or the organisation!!!

        If you all spend so much time on here how do you get friggin work done.

        I'm on Holiday and YOU, you're too busy correcting the crap received through RCW!

        Or how do you test so called software if your all on here bashing Sean & Alan.

        GET IT RIGHT MAN!!! Nobody is bashing Sean or Alan in person, we are discussing the products and the organisation, they happen to be the promoters/producers. It is inevitable that their names are related in a negative manner

        And Dustball if you had any cents you would have gotton out while you had a chance.

        Read the answers above and you'll realize(well probably not, but..) why many fell into the trap, missing support and broken software.

        As for JVzoo Support I know who is running that show and That person is good with support so if you had a issue with one of the products I am sure they would have gotten to Sean or Alan for you or anyone else.

        You just use this lame excuse so you can bash another Marketer.

        Excuses YOU are making:JVzoo have better things to do than chase their partners, THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE for products. It is up to the vendors to guaranty a smooth transaction.

    @GoBikiniGo My advice would be to slow down and consider things carefully before buying them - you could spend yourself into bankruptcy if you're not careful and there are some shady people out there who won't give you a refund or who will make it so difficult to do you'll give up.

    A good thing to do is come to the Warrior Forum and search for the product you're interested in, and then read the LAST pages of comments - that's where you get the REAL story!

    I like Windows better too but if you want to stick with the Mac, just go slowly again and find out if a program is compatible with Macs first before buying it. Or if you can afford it, buy a second computer with Windows on it? I don't really know the costs / pros & cons of doing that vs. using Windows emulating software on a Mac. Someone with Mac experience would be better at answering that question.

    As for Amazon content, I recently purchased a WordPress plugin called Azon Insta-Review which seems pretty good although I haven't really given it a good try yet so I can't say for sure.

    Xadro. Insightful and funny, ''hoover dam''.

    Luckily a few good auto bots do become available, owning a few, my money well spent.

    Still surprised these, high profile offers, heavy seeded lists, bulging jv affiliations, 5,000 dollar sales pages... fail spectacularly.

    A mis-step or calculated? Dun'no and maybe if I did I'd be that internet marketing millionaire.

    Would guess RCW was outsourced, allowing these guys to continue diversification in not only the IM arena, certainly other biz models, for that is the key.
    Get all your fingers sticky in multiple pies.

      Seems you like the idea of product creation, It's certainly the way to go but be careful, every corner harvests a critique so diversification is the key for sure, multiple products and a cushion to dampen the fall.
      I doubt scrounging something to sell will suffice and compensate the bruises in the absence of the necessary feathers.

      The $10 dream machine in truth is $250.00 and a long fall when the porte-monnaie simultaniously pays for retards such as RCW and its accompanying obstacles.
      Hence route 57 is the direction to take.

    SEO Agent, I'm not sure I agree about Article Directories being useless for backlink content. People who have posted the articles have done so for either their own SEO or for credibility. Some directories also have human reviews. So, the articles are usually highly targeted.

    Where you and I are in agreement is that RWC isn't great at what it pulls from those directories AND that there are other better sources. But, the other sources are not consistent enough to allow for auto scraping.

    So, I'm ok with the concept of RWC and have no problem with JVers who also liked the concept. But, I agree that if a marketer is going to highly endorse a product, they should have at least used it and really believe it's a great product.

    For example, THIS guy would NOT lose any credibility with me:

    "Hey, guys, I just wanted to let you know about a new tool for grabbing content for your backlinking. I've not used it, yet, but from the demo I saw, it looks like it would be useful. I recommend you at least check it out for yourself."
    That's fine. That's fair.

    But when a guy sends me THIS:

    "Finally! A 100% automated content generator that actually works.
    Revolutionary Software that creates unique high quality content
    on any topic plus much more....

    - Yes you can now fire your writer (save $$)

    - Creates constant supply of HIGH qaulity content on
    autopilot then posts it to your sites as often as you wish.

    This is the first of a kind software nothing compares.


    PS. This is light years ahead of content curation. BTW the
    programmer is US based and has over 25 years coding and
    programming experience.. in other words this is high quality
    product."
    THAT guy loses my trust. (NOTE, that was a portion of a real email I got from someone I USED to trust.)

      SE's algorithm is now heavily based on social signals coming from links to website content. The Ranking is now being weighed more by social signals than any other reason.

      Why the change? SE's want people to use their search engines, so they can justify their PPC bids. How do they do this? By providing indexed results, based upon links to website content, both with follow and no-follow attributes. They also count the frequency and increased number of social links over time. Hence, "Social Signals," which tells SE's , "This is what people care about the most. And not what backlinks have been cleverly engineered or bought."

      In other words, what people like and share socially, matters to Google. And people will only share what they like, or can get (offer which skews results short-term), and the VALUE IMPORTANT to THEM.

      What we are experiencing in search engine algorithms, is a paradigm shift. One which used search engine science, like on page seo. To one where the perceived value of search engine visitors matters most. A somewhat "narcissistic' algorithm weight if your will.

      And in order to accomplish this, content must be "Remarkable." - Ref. HubSpot.com. So, if you are still out there using content as a matter of achieving and out performing other websites, with backlinks, KW %'s, bolding fonts, this will continue to work short term. However, the landscape is being entirely re-written at every point where there are social signals relative to keyword markets.

      It's an exciting time of evolution in search engine development. We are witnessing not what is credible, based upon language and engineered seo content. But what is VALUED by consumers. So if your content from article sites is being using on your engineered web of sites for backlinking purposes, this will soon pass.

      So you have a choice. You can start creating remarkable content which will be shared on several social platforms. Or you can wait until someone else does it instead. Because this year is like it was 1996 all over again. The year, when only you were the only indexed position for a keyword market period.

      Well now, social signals will once again plow under all those positions with a new perspective on the use and importance of search engines and the values their site visitors place on their content. Because like us, Google is a content curator. Their value only based upon their usefulness to consumers.

      Takeaway: Using article directories for content creation and curation will wash away to those who provide original and remarkable content highly valued and shared by people.

      The key is researching what people are looking for from search engines. And to provide content directly relative and highly valued to their searches. This is not possible form article directories. They have outlived their usefulness to consumers. And therefore have outlived their value in page ranking in Google.

      Case in point: Throughout the last eighteen months, when was the last time you actually saw an article rank in the top five page results? For a five or less KW phrase? It's a thing of the past. Why? Because there is way better content to read. And social signals are the number one ranking factor in search engine algorithms.

      And how do we know this? Because without placing it first, search engines will loose visitors and social media platforms will become the new search engines of tomorrow. No wait, they're already here. Facebook, Twitter, Pintrest, Tumblr, Google +1, amdn more. And look what they do to Google: Take away PPC Revenue.

      Google's Solution: If you can't beat 'em, join them! How? By using social signals as the number one ranking factor. That way, Google is in line with the human algorithm. This is what open graph is all about. But we call it in seo, "social signals."

          lol. Great Idea! Maybe later. My time is being used right now, fixing software conflicts and building more useful publishing platforms for various industries.

          However on that "promo" note, sometime in the next few weeks I think, I'm being published on the leading software giant of seo apps from Germany. I submitted my demo video over a week ago as contracted and ahead of schedule. And guess what? Although we knew of each other, they contacted me a week or so, after a post I made here on Warriors Forum.

          One time I was hired by another leading seo software company after I made several PM tutorials. That gig lasted a year. So who says, companies never troll Forums? Actually, they use cool apps to do their bidding for them. But its all the same. You chant, you rant, they hear everything. They just don't comment, or ever so rarely.

    Well HighRiskJohn and Tiger War have answered for me and explained things very clearly so thanks for that! I just want to add that on JVZoo, if you click "Contact" it says "If you have a problem with a product you must contact the vendor" and if you click "Help" you get the same thing! So no help from JVZoo. (And no, it is NOT then your job (or even polite!) as a customer to try to chase down the owner of JVZoo or the vendor on his personal accounts!)

    So creativeways, Sean has been coaching you for three years - do his $47 per month "Mastermind" classes teach that this is how you run a business - call people "idiots" and tell them "you suck", and tell them to stop complaining because the product works for you but not them when they say they have problems with it? And that it's their job to try and find you when you haven't left them any help in a user manual or on your support site and you don't let them email you?

    To everyone else, I finally saw my refund money today - I thought PayPal would forward it back to my bank but instead they just credited that amount as a positive balance in my PayPal account. It took 9 days since PayPal emailed me that I had been refunded.

    Cypherslock it's a good thing that wasn't money I needed urgently, like mortgage money or for emergency surgery, lol.

    For anyone unfamiliar with this process, I want to say too that PayPal didn't notify me of anything by email - I had to keep logging in there and also logging into my bank account and looking in those places every day. The only email I got from PayPal said that a refund was issued, back on the 16th. They never emailed me that there was a hold put on the money, and on their website it said they would notify me when the hold was removed and they didn't email me about that either.

    So if I hadn't been logging in there and checking, I would have thought that my money came back on the 16th, and here it is the 24th and it was never sent to my bank, but just released to my PayPal account today as a credit!

    SEO Agent,

    I don't see the value of backlinking for ranking going away any time soon. And, until it does, that means dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of backlinks to your money site (or it's tiers), depending on competition.

    Your suggestion of unique, original, remarkable content is great for your money site. MAYBE for your tier 1 sites. But, no way is it practical for the rest.

    So, we must depend on shortcuts, such as curation, rewriting, and spinning. The best we can do is look for tools that produce content "good enough" for the search engines to consider it relavent to the search terms.

    As for social signals, it does appear these are having more weight, but at least in the case of Faceboook, I don't see how it counts, since Google can't seem to index most FB pages (due to https).

    To test that, go find a post in your timeline from 30 days ago, copy a phrase from it, and paste it into google. Does it find the FB post?

      Google counts FB signals in a different way. It does it's counts via the actual content page share buttons, the FB widgets showing people's faces. likes, ect. from the website being crawled. These are counted for FB. For other social platforms, like Twitter, Google has signed agreements to crawl their data and index it. This is counted the same way, in addition to counting links on the social platform as well. Interesting stuff and times!

            Are you sure SA, if that was the case I could enter 100,000 likes in the Html and get top rankings(based on social interest)

            The likes are javascript based and as such, client side(with cross referencing) but pinged without changing the browser headers. This means that the Pings are counted and not the actual digital number on the page.

            These can be altered to a larger and changing numbers, but only to influence the readers and not the rankings.

            Please correct me if you believe this to different

              Huge likes alone won't give you an advantage for top rankings! Social signals coupled with decent bounce rate percentages is what the new algo looks for.



              P.S.

                true, if not contradictory

                likes with a high bounce rate can also mean that you have an extremely interesting post, even if there is only ONE post, it has nothing to do with exit rate...but that wasn't really my point.

                My point is the actual printed likes EMBEDED in the Html are not relative to google rankings.

    CONTRA Falcot...lol

    Some of the most renowned Authors/blogs use Article directories and live from them, amongst other revenues. Many here in the forum are authors and they have TOP rankings and TOP incomes.

    The problem IMHO is that the articles have been abused/misused and zilch billion times reused, rewritten and re-posted.(Also the reason why RCW produces crap)

    Used correctly with the original high PR article and curated(give the author and source credit+ added value) rather than stolen, crucified and regurgitated text(RCW), they carry enormous weight IF they are relevant and significant to your added value and website.

    This is what RCW and it producers don't understand, or DO understand and are simply playing with the users "ignorance"(lack of knowledge sounds better).

    Most people don't want to give the original Author any credit because they feel the reader will leave their site and lose money.. This is STUPID, ignorant and proves how little people understand about the internet and internet marketing.

    well that was pretty harsh the last part, but to say high PR articles from article directories are "usless" is IMHO simply wrong.

    EDIT: AHHH....so now you added "when it comes to RCW"

        How right you are SG.



        Why do people fall for it? I think the answer lies in your first sentence...Simple, they are on their email lists!

        Unsubscribing from mailing lists is a pain in B... The reason(for those that may not know) is when unsubscribing from one product, you are not actually unsubscribing from their list. You are unsubscribing from "THAT EMAIL ONLY" and will promptly be listed onto their next product(the system is automated).

        Due to the rapid expansion of JVs, its too darned easy to lose control of who you actually signed up with and suddenly your incoming emails grow to the extent of 300-500 per day.

        So much time is wasted unsubscribing that the majority give up!(understandably)

        This is how I do it.

        From all of these mails, there are really only about 3-5 people/products or memberships that I really use...SEAN D. is NOT one of them.

        I note the login details(in fact I use roboform, so I don't need to note those) but for those of you without it, note down the login details to the purchased products and email addresses and simply delete that mail account completely.

        If you are using paypal address as the main email, just go to Paypal and enter another email as the main address.

        Now got to the login areas of the vendors you noted down and change the address to the new one.

        WEF now, you'll only receive mails from those that you considered important.


        As of now, if I decide to login to another JV mail, I never use my main email address, rather a throw away email address.

        I like sharpmail.co.uk, you can create as many address as you want and when the list gets too big again, there is no need to go through all the above again, simply delete the disposable mail address and your email box is cleaned in one swipe

        EDIT: I forgot to mention that with sharpmail.co.uk you can also simply DEACTIVATE the email address instead of deleting them. This can come in handy if you find yourself missing a mail that you may have received before without losing them completely..

    I bought Sean's "Extreme Niche Empires" a few years ago (I think it was the second release) and both the forum and the help desk had been closed down before I was halfway through the course.
    Not only that, but Google deindexed the site a couple of months after I set it up and that was before Panda and Penguin.
    I wouldn't buy anything that has his name anywhere within a thousand miles of it. Craig Romero is also on the promo page who also has a similar reputation for leaving his customers high and dry.
    I was bombarded with emails from people I had previously trusted who were promoting this latest piece of sh*te even until this morning and I've bailed out of all email lists of anyone promoting it.

    First email back from their Helpdesk tried to cajole me to keep the purchase and accept a free plugin.

    No - I said - I want a refund.

    Second e-mail said it appeared I had opened a PayPal dispute - NOT YET!

    Sick of getting the runaround PLUS emails to their support e-mail bounced (admin@agbsupport.com) - This is an e-mail that the support responses come from. When you reply it bounces, so you then have to go to the support desk but the original ticket is marked RESOLVED and there is no other option than to open yet another support ticket.

    In my 3rd and FINAL support ticket I told them to give me my refund or I would post my experience here. [pause to check inbox] Nope, still no refund.

    Thank you for getting back to us.

    It seems that you may have opened a Paypal Dispute. If this is the case, please close the dispute and let us know when this has been done.

    I will be happy to provide a prompt refund.

    I look forward to your response.



    Best Regards,

    That's disgusting. You don't get your customers to close the dispute, and THEN you refund. You refund and THEN they close the dispute. Shoddy. Very VERY shoddy. From the response they're holding your money hostage.

      Plus I had not opened a dispute! Seems to me they have developed a canned "shakedown" implemented on their support desk to discourage refunds.

      The latest:

      Hi [...]

      Here is message I receive when I try to refund your purchase:

      WARNING!! PayPal reported it was unable to refund all parts of this transaction. If there was a dispute or you manually refunded part of it in PayPal itself, you can continue with a Partial Refund and we will refund as many as the sub-payments as we can.

      Please look into this so, I can help you with your refund.

      Best Regards,

        Paypal just verified that the payment can be easily refunded by the seller. Dispute opened.

          I purchased this on the $14 early bird special hoping for the best but unfortunately it did not work out. I finally got time to play with RCW today and I must say I ran into some serious issues. I'm on a Win 7x64 machine and got error after error trying to run the software.

          After reading the reviews and playing with the program I decided I don't have the time to mess with it and decided to cut my losses (my time).

          My RCW experience ended on a good note as the RCW staff refunded my money in record time. I asked support for a refund tonight at 9:23PM CST and I received my refund at 10:02PM CST. They first offered me a plugin for free and when I declined they refunded me in full.

          The entire refund process took only 39 minutes and kudos to the support staff for being responsive, I appreciate the fast service!

          Best of luck to all!

    After numerous BS responses from their (cough) "support" desk I got a rapid refund AFTER opening a Paypal dispute. Shoddy, just like the software.

    I purchased this product not knowing that it was Windows only but wanted to use it so bad I went out and purchased Parallels 8 desktop for my Mac and Windows 7 to run on the Parallels emulator. I contacted support and downloaded RCW again to the emulator but when I tried to install it I received an error message. I have tried to contact support for about three weeks now and all of my emails are returned as undeliverable to that address.
    Very disappointed and out around $300.00 US

      After getting the royal runaround I finally got a refund by opening a Paypal dispute. I recommend it. Keep in mind that your time is limited - maybe 45 days? If you delay you may be stuck.

      From the Home Page of the members area I click on support and it says page not found.
      Really not worth pursuing.
      Have you tried Instant Article Wizard?
      I think I'll look into that.

        Hi,

        It appears as if the support desk is down which is the same one I successfully contacted last night. I guess it could be related to the huge network issue at a large data center in Provo that has downed thousands upon thousands of sites today. I had 20+ sites that were affected by the outage today and as of now the outage is still causing some issues.

        Good luck.

    The support desk seems to be a bit hit and miss :/ I got a refund within 24 Hours but it took me awhile to figure out that you cant reply directly to the emails your receive, you have to go back into agbsupport.com and reply to the ticket from there

    Well I wasn't going to ask for a refund but seeing how they have a blind eye to the support system but they have no problem sending continuous broadcasts for other affiliate products, I went ahead and requested a refund.

    They sent the refund only for the $14 main product but not for the $47 Platinum Plus Edition and it was the last day that I can request a refund, so I created another ticket but instead of waiting for them to tell me that it's to late to get a refund I advised them that I took screen shots of all conversations and replies including the dates from support, I got the second refund within a few hours.


    These guys are real creeps, as if I didn't know what package I purchased.

      After waiting for an update, that never come I finally decided to ask refund. Asked nicely, got reply nicely, next day the refund was given. After all, if people do not like the software ask for refund, and they will get it. I got mine. No matter the promisses in a sale video are, if there is option for refund is ok. :rolleyes:

    I must say, I am a little disappointed with the Warrior forum, I'm not blaming them but why is Sean still allowed to peddle his rubbish on here, I thought WF would have given us some protection from people like him once they become aware.His profile does not give any indication that he is a naughty boy.

    Live and learn..... Sean's software is based on hype sales and delivers little.... I got burned on the Early Bird discount.... I got burned believing the software buying into the hype that it could deliver set it and forget it articles.... the software did not install properly took 5 days of going through support that never responded to my written issues.... before I figured out a way to get it to work..... The software was suppose to use Proxies which I went out and bought a subscription to .... when they were loaded in it would result in the program being unable to create an article saying not enough results..... I used Dog Training.... not enough results... are you kidding me.... When I stopped using Proxies it created an article that was formatted into paragraphs and the keywords were showing up.... Wow cool..... then I tried to read the article.... It was such a mish-mash of unrelated content I shut the software off in anger and frustration.... about 3 weeks later someone sends me an email trying to get me to buy it saying it is Amazing and I need to get it.... so I watch the promo video for it thinking maybe it was just a bad experience.... not uncommon for software to be released and bugs show up . After watching the video I got excited again and thought maybe they have FIXED IT.... WRONG it was just as bad as it was when I first shut it off in frustration..... Sean calls it the NEXT Generation Not Content Curation but Content Fusion..... I call it CONTENT CONFUSION... My recommendation to all is AVOID IT,,,,

      I received a new promotion from JV Zoo about this product today. It sounded interesting so I thought I'd check out the Warrior forum and see what people are saying about it. Just as well. I don't have time to deal with fake goods!

    Does anyone have a support email for this product. The RCW support link in jvzoo does not work. Jvzoo only says to click that link but it doesn't work. The thanks for purchasing email has no support link either. I replied to that email but those usually don't get looked at by most vendors so I am at a loss.

    I want a refund. The product does not work at all. After numerous attempts with different keywords and different settings I did not get anything that resembled a usable article. The content was usually totally unrelated to the keywords I entered and the paragraphs were unrelated to each other.

      The support domain URL listed on the RCW lead page is http://agbsupport.com/, but there no website hosted at the URL - wonder why they shut it down, too many support tickets?. Luckily I got my refund as soon as I used it the first time.
      You could try the support at one of Sean Donahoe other website - https://imsuccesscenter.com/customer...Tickets/Submit after that I would file a dispute via PayPal (if that's where you paid - good luck with that one!) and if the money was taken from your credit card you can ask the credit card company to issue a charge back

    The reason they've shut it down right now is that they're finishing up version 2.0 and it will be leaps and bounds over the first version. Much more than what we worked with previously. Full editor for one thing, much more control. I wish I could post the demonstration us Inner Circle members got on one of his live sessions. What I can say is that Alan and Sean have taken all the criticism received and completely overhauled the entire thing. I've said this before: Sean, along with Kelly Felix, is no scam artist. True support could be faster, but then a lot of folks don't do things like screencast the issue. And most don't think to contact Sean via Skype either.

      That might all be true but it doesn't change the fact that I can't contact support. Do you really expect people to contact a vendor through Skype for a refund? He should have a working support link in JVZoo or it is probably against their TOS. I also never called him a scam artist.

      If he purposely took a support link down why is he still selling the product?

      You say "True support could be faster". I wouldn't know because I can't contact them. Do you have a way to contact support for RCW? There is also no support link in any of his emails or in the product itself. Just very irritating and unprofessional. I do not want to file a PP dispute if I could find a way to let him make it right the easier way.

      I could post a live video of the unrelated gibberish that RCW produces but I just don't want to waste my time on this.

      Edit: I just found a support email address inside my PayPal account in the "payment details" so I hope that works.

        Hi Janice I had also a bad experienced when it comes to Sean's product contact support. The last time when I bought the Rapid Mailer and it's been almost 1 month now I haven't receive any reply yet. Sean Donahoe should be able to improve his contact support.

    This guy Sean the developer has such an awful reputation of much of his stuff all over the www, forums etc wow!

    He is sooooo infamous for total hype, stuff that has huge issues and massively known for huge lack of support, delay tactics leading often to so you don't get money back, and plain un professionalism ...I know at least 14 people in the last year totally regret doing business and buying his stuff frankly beggars believe people still buy and he is allowed to sell on these forums ....good luck.
