The Warrior "War Room" - Is It For Real?

[Rod Cortez]

What inspired this rare thread from me is a couple of Skype IMs that I received this week, one from a new Warrior and one from a veteran Warrior. They both noticed I was a member of the War Room and asked me the same question, "Is it for real?". This is also a response to the person who cowardly called me a "shill" from an anonymous e-mail. Those of you that know me know that I only talk about or recommend things that I actually use and test.

In essence the War Room paid for itself, literally in the first few minutes. Here's how: I grabbed two products for free in there that the author normally charges for. That was a long time ago and since then the amount of free scripts, ebooks, reports, and memberships that have helped me in my business has been numerous. I've built two new companies as a direct result of the War Room. Which is why I'm literally stupified when someone joins and then an hour or a day later they're saying "I don't see the value". Of course they didn't see the value because that person hasn't really dived into forum and applied what's in there.

To further prove my assertion, I logged in this morning and I found 11 Reasons why the War Room simply kicks ass:

1. How to build "links" the right way so Google won't ban you (do this wrong and you'll be scrathing your head why your page rank went down).

2. How to earn 6 figures flipping websites (with testimonials from War Room members who have already benefitted from it).

3. Free CPA report that simply kicks ass.

4. The Allen Says Wordpress Theme

5. 90+ Places To Submit Your Blog/RSS Feed For Free

6. 244 Places to get free links to your site

7. The Google Traffic loop hole (over 9,200 views on this badboy!)

8. Free PLR collection

9. How to Increase Your Article Traffic by As Much As Ten Times!

10. How To Find High PR Pages On Digg To Comment On

11. Offline Consulting Business Strategies (A Multi-Part Thread That I Cannot Believe Is Still For Free).

12. How To Get 100's Of Links To your EZA Articles (This Thread Is Full Of Some Kick Butt Ideas That Actually Work)


Keep in mind these were only on the first page. But a word of caution. If you're an information junkie who buys stuff and doesn't do anything with it, this forum is not for you. If you like to post and socialize, this forum is not for you. (Edit: if you don't have a basic business plan or some general idea what direction you want to go, this forum could swamp you with information overload). This forum is for marketers that are dead-serious about their business and are not afraid to take meaningful and consistent action.

If you join the War Room and have seriously looked and used the information in there for at least 30 days and you cannot make it work for you, send me a PM and I will give you a minimum 30 minutes of my time. That's how much I believe in it.

Rod, I have one MAJOR problem with the War Room and I think it might be
a reason why so many take a look at it and then just put it aside.

There is TOO much stuff in it.

I don't use that phrase lightly. I find most "products" to be woefully lacking
in content.

The War Room is the complete opposite.

You enter and you're first greeted with a few stickies.

The first is a thread to ask questions...That's always a good thing.
The second is an explanation on how the War Room works. Also good.
The third one is how you can benefit from the War Room...All good stuff.

But...after that...you're on your own.

What follows is thread after thread of solid information. Remember,
stuff doesn't get to stay there unless it's approved by the mods.

So imagine John Doe is just starting out and wanders in there. His first
question is going to be..."Where do I start?" He is so overwhelmed by
the amount of info that he doesn't know where to begin.

The problem is that MOST people don't have a business plan. If they
did, it would be a lot easier to find something SPECIFICALLY geared for
what YOU'RE doing.

Even I sometimes get overwhelmed when I go in there. And then I sit down
and ask, "Okay, what would benefit me MOST right now given what I am
working on?" I then look to see if anything like that appears to exist based
on the thread titles.

This is another problem. And I'm not taking shots at anybody here but
many of the thread titles give you little clue as to what the thread is
about. So you have no choice but to open it and read it to find out.

This is a HUGE time waster. If folks would be specific about what they're
offering, it would save a LOT of time.

Remember, you're not selling a WSO. These people already paid for their
access so just give them the meat and potatoes of what they'll learn in
the title so that they can decide if it's for them or not. Unless of course
you have some backend offers with these products, then I can understand
the need for a pitch. But at least make the pitch one where the person
knows what they're getting to a degree.

Otherwise, we have people going through pages of threads and getting
frustrated because they don't know where to start, thus giving the
illusion that there is no value in the War Room.

This couldn't be farther from the truth. The stuff is there. It can just be
a little hard to find what you're looking for. And if you don't have a clue,
then forget it...you're just going to get frustrated and move on.

That is my problem with the War Room and I have a feeling that I'm not
alone. There is just TOO much there. And if you're short on time, there is
only so much you can go through in a day.

So here are my suggestions to those who are on the fence about joining.

1. Have a business plan. Know what it is you want to learn.

2. Join up. It's only $37.

3. Make a schedule for yourself and set a time limit for going through the
War Room whether it's an hour or two or just 20 minutes. But make it and
stick to it.

4. Start going through the threads, ignoring the ones that aren't specific
to what they're teaching. This will GREATLY reduce the amount of time
that it takes you to go through things.

5. After you've gone through the specific threads, start again at the
beginning and start going through some of the more vague threads until
your time limit is up. This will keep you disciplined and at the same time,
you might actually find something that will help you.

6. After you have found something, work on that ONE THING ONLY. Don't
go looking for other things in the War Room to work on. This is why
people never get anything done. They're working on 10 things at the
same time. Pick one and work on it until you at least see some results
with it or have completed the process. This will vary depending on what
it is you're working on.

If you follow these simple tips, I think you will find that you will get TONS
out of the War Room.

I am going to guess that the reason Rod had so much success is because
he either knew what he was looking for at the start OR he focused ONLY
on threads that were very specific to what they were offering. Please
correct me if I'm wrong Rod.

Folks, the War Room is a gold mine. Some of the brightest minds in this
forum, including Allen Says himself, have stuff in there.

In a word, if you're lacking in knowledge and DON'T join....

YOU'RE STARK RAVING OUT OF YOUR MIND.

Follow my tips and you'll do fine.

Very well said Rod.
Its just the ignorance of people that make them believe that War Room has nothing special.
One needs to understand, "there ain't to magic tricks"

[Michael Oksa]

Just the kind of nonsense I would expect a shill to say.

[Elmer Hurlstone]

Were I not already a War Room member after reading the OP by Rod "I'm a WR Shill" Cortez and the, obviously, rough draft of Steven's next report, "How to Leverage WF War Room Membership Into a Massive Profit-Grabbing Business of Your Own!", I would feel obliged to join.

And, yes, I agree with the points made by both.

The War Room IS a fantastic resource!

Period.

Allow me to go on a bit of a tangent...

There are too many threads with people asking if the War Room is "worth it".

Sorry, but if a person can't look at the people who are already members and figure it out...

And...

If they think $37 for LIFE, or 20 years, is too MUCH of a risk.

I hate to be negative, but I wonder at their chances of success with their current mindset.

You know what? Just don't sign up. It's not for you, yet. And in the meantime you can complain about how hard Internet marketing is, and how we're all scammers.

Or, you can sign up, get a doctorate-level education in IM. Then you can be the one telling people who ask how good it is.

We will now return to our regularly scheduled program.

All the best,
Michael

Wow, I can't even explain how valuable the War Room is.. it's just indescribable. I agree with Steven and Rod. The War Room opened up so much information to me. You have to be careful because it can be overwhelming! Just one download from the War Room alone is worth it.. and there are one after another, after another, after another. I haven't even put a dent in all of the information contained in that forum.

Whew.

[blur]

If you (or I) could take just one screen grab of the topic listing in the war room, I think that would explain it all to the non-believers. I didn't think it was going to be 'all that' but I joined and much to my surprise there is enough info in there to probably equal a 'certificate' in IM.

Well...maybe

[thenextlevel]

This forum turned my life in a new direction. Joining the war room gave me the tools to show me how to turn my life in a different direction. When the day comes that I leave my job to pursue this full time, I will have the war room to thank!

That's why I hand-picked 12 topic subject headings from the first page from this morning just to give people a small idea on what it's like in there. Actually, I don't blame people for being skeptical. I've personally been let down by a lot of WSOs and info-products that it's made me extremely skeptical and cautious, but I also realize that if I don't invest in my education that I could be missing out one a gold nugget that will take me to the next level. So it's a constant small battle that I have with myself, which probalby explains why my coffee mug(s) and martini shaker(s) are well-used.....

That's what my first thought was, too, Rod.

However, davebo may be right. Giving the benefit of the doubt, let's say the topics do look the same as on the main board.

The key word is LOOK.

The main board is a wax figure of Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, and The Beatles.

The War Room is where they actually hang out and share their talent.

All the best,
Michael

Since Allen killed his other memberships, and he hasn't produced an ebook since Private Posts, the War Room is the only place I know of to get anything new written by Allen. That's why I'm a member. The rest is all gravy. (and there ain't nothing wrong with a little extra gravy)
