The war room!

tl;dr = As an IM newbie, I give it a thumbs up and recommend a purchase.

----- long version -----

I joined very recently (less than a week I think).

I would say this so far:

It seems that after WSO's dry up (no more sales?) they go over to the war room. So, one benefit is you pick up WSO's for free that are no longer selling (of course, one has to ask themselves why they aren't selling). I may be misinterpreting, but again, this is my impression so far.

While I've not seen anything particularly earth shattering yet, there are enough ideas to get your creativity kick-started and certainly help train your brain to start thinking outside-the-box.

I've downloaded several of the free offers, and while opt-ins are usually not required, I've found a couple that did require an opt-in.

Additionally, many (not all) have a nice site with upsells to other products. And of course, the products themselves frequently have links to more products.

I have found several direct-link PDFs or posts and those are the ones I appreciate the most. They look like people who are genuinely interested in giving back to the community.

There are both online/offline and hybrid ideas shared.

I was disappointed to find several threads that had inactive links with several posts of people asking for the links with no response. Those posts occurred over several months, so I'm assuming that clean-up of threads isn't necessarily regular (or I'm just a download machine and hit every thread faster than the cleanup crews cleans up).

I did find some freebies that had some great videos and provided some eyebrow raising moments.

Overall, I feel like I received pretty good value. It's a bit of a mess in there. As I said, a lot of these are WSO's that are no longer being sold, so you still have the sales pages and hype and you have to weed through a bit of the mess, but there are a lot of interesting spins and ideas. Enough that you could take those ideas and apply them to variety of other methods and/or combine methods.

I've only scratched the surface, I'm sure.

From a newbie perspective (while I'm not new to making money online, I'm new to making money online with IM; I suppose what I basically was doing trial and error IM, but w/e, you get the point, I hope), I'd give it a thumbs up.
