Just a quick one from me today.

If your going to write a review for a WSO, a little FYI - people reading the reviews only want to know one thing.

Did the product do what it promised.


If it is an SEO product claiming to get you on the first page within 3 months then just tell us if it did that or not.

Did the girl who sold you a course that promised to help you begin making $100 a day with solo ads come through with the goods or not?

Anything else you post is generally OK but meaningless without answering the question [did the WSO provide what was promised].

    Maybe they should make that a rule, so people will stop kissing so much ass. To find a reviews that actually tells if the product works or not, is pretty rare. Would be nice to get rid of the flood of reviews of people raving about past products from the seller, but never buy the product they are commenting on

      Many review sites have mandatory fields that must be filled in.

        I agree that first and foremost a review should be about the product rather than the person selling it, although there's no problem with praising an author once the product review is completed.

        It also doesn't hurt the reputation of the reviewer or product if one or two negative points are made - it will give the seller something to comment on and keep a two-way relationship going. The seller can then be gauged (and indirectly the product) on how he responds to a criticism.

        I'd like it to be made clear by reviewers whether they have a free review copy or they paid for the product before the review and if they didn't see the product at all, why they are 'reviewing' it.

        Regards,

    There is only one thing to consider when buying a WSO, if it is saying you will make thousands $ with that $27 it is fake.

    You can see that the reviewers always saying it is great and still buying the next WSO.

    Personally I have a method, I am making $2500 a month from Amazon.

    And if I make a WSO someday you can be sure that it will be at least $5000 if I will give every secret and software I wrote, because it took me 3 years to figure out how to make money. (think gurus, they always says that sell your website for 10 times of monthly income )


    So sorry to say that but I think there are many paid reviews and many multiple account users. (shocked?)

      Yes, I totally agree. All I am interested in is whether it delivered on the promise or not. And how soon did it deliver. Simple as that!

      I could swear that some of the WSO reviews that I read are copied and pasted!. :rolleyes:

        Yeah it's pretty terrible.

        I have even seen people on this very forum selling a "content" service offering to write "reviews" for people which verges on illegal and is certainly immoral in my book.

      Some serial WSO buyers buy and even don't open the things they buy. On the other hand, some WSO buyers learn something new in each WSO they buy, and eventually they start taking action upon that accumulated knowledge. These are the action takers and money makers. They may keep buying WSOs because even one thing/strategy/tip that you have not heard before might give you valuable ideas to take action upon.

      A website and a guide are two totally different things. When you sell a website you are selling an income generating asset which justifies the 10x monthly income (I would personally never sell for that amount, 10 months is a short period of time). However, when you sell a guide, you are not selling your Amazon affiliate business, you are selling just a guide that will not bring any money to anyone unless they take action upon it.

    I agree with you, but I definitely don't want to see any kind of "mandatory fields" for reviews here as someone suggested. It's fine to ask people to provide that information, but to dictate that they should is another matter, and I could care less what other forums do...just my 2 cents.

      You still take reviews into account on WSOs? I stopped years ago. I buy based on low hype, credibility of the offer and if the ad shows any knowledge of the subject as opposed to appealing to greed and/or laziness

        Haha lol. No I don't really buy WSO's to be honest.

        I have purchased a few here and there but that is all. Sometimes I browse that area when I am bored and I felt the need to write this thread because of the utter disgraceful reviews I read which did absolutely no favours for the WSO yet they still felt the need to post them.

        People are not stupid.

        The minute business people start getting that is the moment they will make more money.

        Bingo! I have learned to follow this criteria in most cases as well. I got so sick of the over-hyped shiny object software being promoted by low service developers and monster-affiliates that had never tried the software I was ready to puke. I learned my lesson and since I have been staying away from the inbox stuffing promotions I have been a much happier camper.

    I look at reviews like I would Olympic judges. Toss out the highest scores because of the bias from friends and toss out the lowest scores because of the probability of sabotage from competitors. What is left in the middle is likely to be the most accurate.

    I venture to guess that the reason why so few reviews contain actual RESULTS is because so few take actual ACTION.

    That assumption is based on my 10+ years of full time experience

    For far to many, IM is more of a hobby and social club. It's kind of like a school of fish darting from one shiny object to the next.

    That's not a good OR bad thing..... it just IS
