Why are people requesting review copies of wso's now?

My opinion is review copies should be given to PROVEN, moneymaking , experienced warriors, however that is determined.

There are some warriors that when they give a good review, its usually a good report, there are only a few.

I like Steve Wagenheim's opinion, he hardly gives reviews , but when he do, its usually cause its a damn good,useful product AND he likes and gives reviews to stuff that has been ACTUALLY USED or he actually used it and tried it, THAT'S WHAT I LIKE, too.

" Well written, nice ideas, would recommend"..., tells me nothing.

I wish there was an Elite group of proven warriors, warriors that is certified and known for a fact that they make money, GOOD MONEY, using what they sell.....warriors who CANNOT be bought, will give their opinion , brutally, unbiased, and productively, like :

" this is only good for newbs, nothing new here, but good for someone who has never made money..."

OR

" this is something you can get for free all over the net, would not recommend for the price...."

OR

".....this is a thoughtless wso/report in an effort to get cash, you should either re-do it, get some professional assistance, or don't publish crap like this at all, it does you and your potential customers a diservice in addition to trashing your reputation, not a good start to an internet marketing career...."

This would especially helpful to those who are starting out and want to get on the right track to productive products, by someone telling the strong and weak points and who this report or product should be targeted to and why.

This could be comments publicly or privately, maybe a primer to see if it is a good wso, to people who actually make real, decent money on the net for at least a long enough period not to be considered a one-hit wonder.

There are some with "reputations" or are "gurus" who can barely pay their bills,although they are known and a name brand.

Not every moneymaker or senior warrior is perfect, so the most consistently balanced, unbiased opinion would be consulted and/or alerted more often.

Usually, they are too busy with their business making money to be on forums alot anyhow, so whats in it for them is :

1) a free wso

2) Potentially very cheap to free plr, and other rights..

3) If the "pre-wso" cannot stand the battery review of proven warriors, the reviewers can assist in tightening up the wso for some compensation that would be worth it

There should be a list of these guys, picked by someone like Allen Says or somebody like that, a pool if you will, to be notified, and the proven warrior has the option of responding or not to review the product either AT its release or more productively, BEFORE its release, the benefit being to the releaser to solidify his reputation of putting out good, useful wso's with very high value.

If the wso is only going to release 5 review copies to this pool, if say, out of the notifications 3 answer, then more out of this pool will be notified until the 5 review copies have been released.

There are a handful of warriors, so far, that I have found when they recommend something, it is usually a slam dunk, over-delivery of product...they hardly post reviews anyway.

Usually, when they do, it goes something like ," seriously, you should be charging 10 times what you are asking, this is easily worth way more than what you're charging...", something like that.

This is just a rough draft ideas, thats all, probably won't go anywhere, but something to consider.

Some " 2 post counter" giving me his opinion about a wso , also people who have NEVER implemented the wso with some measurable results, to me, is hardly a verification or green light, to me.

Guys with reputations on the line, gives more credibility, to me.

Sure, people make mistakes and so on, but there is ONE super senior warrior who recommended something that was a total disaster and now I would NEVER buy anything this warrior recommends because:

A) warrior lent his name out to a product (JV) as a testimonial

B) warrior did not use product

C) warrior recommended unproven product to his/her list

D) Product was an over-priced DISASTER that could not find ONE testimonial of ANYONE making it anywhere near close to successful, matching Copy's claims, or even BREAKING EVEN.

E) warrior offered NO retraction or apology OR AMMENDS to his/her for recommending such garbage, no one , in months after release and implementing, has even broken even, despite copy's claims.

F) the ONLY way I would EVER buy ANYTHING this warrior puts out is that another warrior with impeccable reputation and proven products, recommends it, and highly.
