Let Me Know

Hello Newbies
Let's tell the truth, are we newbie pawns in this make money overnight scheme. I would like to hear from those affiliates who have found success in generating income. We need to know who, what & where.
Why won't these producers let us email or call on those persons they are so proud of with their testimonials. Let's talk before investing, anything wrong with that?:rolleyes:

    Who won't let you contact their testimonials?? That would be kind of a red flag for me.

      Why would it be a red flag?

      If I review a product and then provide a testimonial - why should I also donate time for skeptical potential buyers to chat with me? I don't earn anything if they buy - or lose anything if they don't. If you think the testimonials are bogus (and some are), don't buy.

      Best is to send questions to the seller - and most sellers will answer reasonable questions. If they don't answer, don't buy.

      Many new marketers spend a lot of time reading multiple sales pages about "fast money" - and end up disappointed. Much better to spend that time developing your own plan for your business and buy only the tools/info you need to work your plan and only when you are ready to use it.

    Well, yes, that's what you as the testimonial provider would say. In this case, it sounds like the product owner is saying not to contact the reviewers which, to me, would be fishy.

    I've had people contact me after I've given a testimonial on a product or service and I have no problem with it.

      I guess it would depend on the product and also whether you provided just a "review" or were totally impressed by the product or seller's service.

      I don't think a seller would be right to give out contact info unless he has obtained permission from the reviewer (which happens offline in some businesses). If comments were made in a WSO - that would be different as you are identified as a member.

      Hi Chris,

      Even though I agree with both Kay and you, I find Kay's interpretation of
      this situation to be more accurate

      Looking at it from the Sellers perspective and knowing that many buyers
      wouldn't expect or even welcome *(unless they were Internet Marketers)
      the thought of becoming part of the sellers process.

      The seller has to be proactive in keeping their customers privacy private,
      (Agreed?)

      Think about this for one minute: Maybe in the past the Seller has had
      Customers complain about them giving out their personal information such
      as their email address. (Sound familiar?)

      Just My .02
      Have a Great Day!
      Michael

      P.S. Kay, I love the skirt!
