Do you trust warriors that ask/offer to look at your site?

INTERNET MARKETING

After asking a question on the WF I sometimes get offers from warriors who say they can 'review my sales page' ect.

This could really help but...it could also be a big mistake.
I could end up with some major competition in a good niche.

What do you think?

hi

it totally depends on the person - some can be really good where as others shouldnt be touched with a ten foot bargepole.

One of my friends on the wf had some offer to review her site, she had a lovely sales page and he said he could do better in exchange for 50% cut of the sales and i must admit the sales page looked dreadful. In the end i helped her change it back to how it looked originally was great.

its just like there are lots of wso on here and the odd one could be done by someone that is not legit but it shouldnt totally put you off.

kind regards

i do, most of the time it has helped me a lot, i am not worried about my niche being taken. i prefer not to talk about it in open forum though.

Also you are going to someone because you have problem in your website/sales funnel and not because it is perfect!!!

also i do not PM my site to every warrior!!!

Competition won't like you, and especially if you are good at what you do, and I most definitely can relate.

If you need your website reviewed, let them review it, but only if you are ASKING for it. Don't simply hand out your personal details etc... if you are not even wanting to in the first place, because someone offers something. After all you said that you felt worried about the competition catching on.

Most often if you have doubts and feel suspicious about something, your gut feeling isn't lying.

  you would like it to be reviewed by a warrior who is a copy writer & contribute quality content on Copywriting section of Forum.

  Thanks for the info,
  
  if I was more experienced then I wouldn't mind so much. But being a newbie, I know that any of the warriors that would be able too help, would also be able to get many more sales than me in a tenth of the time it would take me. (and probaly get the number one spot for my niche if they wanted to.)
  
  I guess I'll have to do my own research to improve my site.
  
  Thanks

It would be nice to think this forum is a safe place for improving eachothers ventures, but I would usually only go for people with a high-post count (to signify their contribution to WF) and thanks (to highlight helpful contributions).

A high post count doesn't mean ethical.

You can always re-word your copy so it appears to be in a different niche than you are actually in before asking if you are unsure or paranoid. I think one on one coaching for newbies with someone they trust is a great help if you can afford it.

That can run anywhere from $500- $5.000 for a couple months of weekly sessions to hone those parts of your funnel you are unsure of. Or sometimes a %cut of a project for a time period can be worked out. (That requires a bit of reverse trust, in both your willingness to pay AND your willingness and ability to implement the coach's direction.)
Once you have one project honed, the rest come more naturally and you feel less of a need to have a second pair of eyes double check it for you, but if you do, your coach would probably do that free for you if in the 1st coaching, you developed any kind of rapport. (Plus it is now someone you trust for anything you might be paranoid about sharing with a stranger.)

Just another benefit to a good coaching program. The first being having someone to be accountable to other than yourself if you are one of the many 'procrastinators' out there. (I put myself in that category. Lol.)

Different people have different approaches to IM. I find the most difficult part researching niches that are likely to be profitable. Once I find a good one I do not disclose it to anyone that I do not have to. Sometimes I even worry about giving too much information to the graphics designers.

Take great care as some people treat this forum as a legitimate source of ideas for niches. Unlike some, I do not disclose a niche website in my forum signature as I am of the view that it is likely to do more harm than good. I do promote one of my software products though.

  A public forum is never a safe place.
  
  If you have not asked for a review, be cautious of anyone offering to give you one by PM.
  
  Post count may not mean anything but few scammers stay around long enough to get a very high post count. They are banned before that. Date joined is an indicator in some cases.
  
  But the posts the person has made will give you a good idea of their level of knowledge and their reputation here. You can look at posts they've made or threads they've started by viewing their profile - and it's a smart thing to do before buying a WSO or agreeing to share your site's url.
  
  There are times when an experienced writer or marketer will offer help by PM - so check out the posts they've made and threads they've started here and decide who to trust.

I don't worry about competition. I encourage it. I firmly believe that no product or service can be at its best unless it has clear and strong competition. Indeed, I strongly feel that no product should command more than 40% of the market - and if you happen to have such a product, you should actively assist your competitors in grabbing more market share.

That said, the people who "steal" your niche probably aren't going to be strong competitors.

A sales page I wouldn't worry about. I would never post domain and/or business ideas.
