Marketers CAN'T Read! [RANT]

6 replies
All I have to say is, AMAZING!

Just came back from looking through the WSO section where the very first thing you see at the top of that page is a sticky post: Stop Asking For Review Copies.

WSO after WSO "Do you have any review copies?" "If you'll send me a copy, I'll post a review for you." "I'm not doing anything today. Send me a copy of your WSO and I'll get a review posted right away."

Folks, if you can't purchase a copy and post a review based on what you've learned, you ain't allowed in the arena.

In other words, if you can't run with the big dogs, stay the hell on the porch!

Someone posted a new WSO this morning, and the "ink" wasn't even dry before 3-4 people jumped in with "where are the reviews?" "Send me a copy...."

If you want a copy of Mister Guru's $99 program, you BUY the damn thing. It's not fair to hold these WSO offers "hostage" because you haven't received a free copy to review.

Let's get real. [end of rant]

    Perhaps a simple response of...

    "I will only consider sending review copies to those people who can demonstrate the ability to read and follow posted rules."

    My guess is most wouldn't catch on, but it would be fun.

      Hi Steven,

      Perhaps you're correct.

      However, I will give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they are following somebody else's "system" of "how to get free WSOs". Now, that doesn't excuse their behavior, but it may explain it.

      All the best,
      Michael

    I have never run a WSO and probably never will, but I can see where that would be danggum annoying. Sounds like freeloading at its best !! Or shall I say at its worst

    I'm sure there's a bunch of those freebie seekers that just hang out in the WSO forum asking for review copies to try to get free products. Every time I see this I think ... how pathetic. What a bunch of losers.

    Just report their post, get them banned. Simple.
