WSO's, pet peeves, and other little annoyances... and coffee.
Purchased another WSO that came with a few audio files. Probably the third one this month. Great information, but several little things that get on my last nerve are... well... rather than post this in the ops thread, thought I'd just post a few "blanket annoyances" here. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings or cause embarassment. Maybe my "complaints" will help those in the future who create audible WSO's or other such files.
1.) What's with all the mouth pops and swishes and gurgles in between sentences and words? How about a mic screen or a little background music to drown that out? Are you eating a peanut butter sandwich?
2.) Get the mic out of your nose. Don't need to hear each and every breath that you take.
3.) You can drag a pointer "across" a screen. Not "acrossed" a screen.
4.) The term "ninja-tactics" has been grossly overused. Ninja-this and Ninja-that. Search results on the warrior forum finds 2,300,119 occurences. And that's just today.
5.) Other over-used sales hotwords and phrases or annoying sales tactics: "I cracked the code", "I unlocked the secret", "Here's some testimonials from some of my OTHER wso's", "deadly techniques", "My 6 year old can do this", anything with the words "elite, over-delivered, blueprint, module", "secret sauce", "case study", "mindmap"...
6.) Testimonials that say a course is "well-written", or "full of typos" (who cares -- really?) or testimonials that say "I've known WSO_Pro14 for a long time. He's smart."
7.) WSO's that claim to be a "Business in a Box"... yet when reading the thread, you find, "no, I didn't have room to cover that" (digital delivery provides infinite "room")... or "no, we don't include contracts -- consult your own attorney". Or "if you don't know how to do that, search youtube for video instruction" (why not just include a simple link or two since I just paid you $29 for your "course"????)
8.) The answer to everything difficult, or ommision, or hole in the strategy -- "Outsource it."
9.) Salesletters that drag on and on and on and on... sometimes longer than the actual product.
10.) Answers in WSO threads from the op that state -- "I can't answer here... that would reveal too much. Just buy it and if you don't like it, I'll return your money".
11.) Great questions in threads, but the ops answer is, "pm sent".
12.) Thread posts consisting of nothing but, "pm sent". (Again, who cares? Do WSO authors NOT have the little mail indicator on their screen like peons like me have? Do we ALL have to know that Joe625 sent a pm to WSO_Pro718?)
13.) Webinars that ramble, jump from point to point, start 15 minutes late to make sure everyone is logged on while you listen to "is this working... can ya her me... is this on? (Dude, create an outline, tell the listeners in advance how long the webinar will be and IF there will be a recording available so we can make accomodations and schedule accordingly. Then DO what you said you would do.)
Oh, and by the way, my shrink says I should lighten up, lay off the caffiene, and learn to be more accepting. Is there a WSO on that? :p
Yeah. My name is Scotty M and I'm a WSO junky in spite of my nerve condition. I still learn from them and love them all.
