For anyone that didn't get the memo!

From Alaister Low,

Make sure you put Monday 21st July

        Jody,
        Maybe Paul can give us a hint!
        My guess wouldn't be any more informed than anyone else's. I could think of a few things that would qualify.

        An affiliate program for the War Room would be high on the list. An ecommerce platform would be another big one. Maybe making Claude and Dan co-emperors.

        Lots of things they could do that would be big, given their technical resources.

      Wait! A sandwich shop? I want one of those new Riffleburgers. All bun, no taste, and a limp pickle.

      I'm joking, it's probably a new puppy.

      I'm disappointed, now: I thought it was going to be shoes. There've been hundreds and hundreds of threads here promoting shoes (and some handbags, sunglasses and slightly less interesting stuff, too, admittedly). I imagined the reason those are all deleted is that the forum's establishing its own shoe business and doesn't want the competition?

        Well, if it's any consolation, I think it's pretty obvious they'll also be adding a Michael Kors outlet store.

        I can't believe that someone who lives right across the pond from Paris -- where the shoes are very unique and inexpensive would also be interested in seeing more of them in forums. You have a much more serious addiction than I realized. I'll keep that in mind so I don't do any more enabling.

        You could jump the pond and get a whole load of them for what you're probably paying for them where you live. I guess I need to get some pics of my closet for ya someday, huh?

    I think one or all of the following (in order of likelihood):

    1. Redirect forum to Freelancer.com and/or turn WSOs into FL offers for more eyeballs.
    2. New affiliate/payment system.
    3. Affiliate program for WR - perhaps 100% commission to drive traffic and a super duper backend for them.
    4. Rating system of some sort for WSOs and/or massive crackdown on offers, wording, etc. combined with some other big advertising option so as to not run everyone off.
    5. Return of the Warrior Alliance with Allen at the head.

        Hope that it isn't another one of those videos, l tried to watch the first, and almost nodded off!

        Sorry to be a party pooper!

        Maybe newbies will love them, but l didn't get much from the first one at least, (haven't bothered with the rest).

        Damn, found out, and l was negotiating with the mods, on my kickbacks!


        But an addition will be added also, that discussing religion, politics and fluffy bunnies, (negatively) will be banned!

          Mark,

          2-4 of yours could all be part of the same package. Putting in their own ecom system would let them do things we couldn't do here before, like the ratings system, and could also handle an affiliate program.

          If they only allowed ratings from paying customers, that would be a big reason to use the in-house system, at least for some sellers. With a competitive feature set, it could be a pretty big deal. And it would fit well with the reduced price for WSOs and allowing them for people who aren't members of the War Room.

          That would be a serious change to the revenue model of the forum. It would also open more options for external recruitment of advertisers. They've made it clear they want to actively pursue new sellers.

          It would also make sense to offer additional payment methods other than Paypal, which this could make a more viable option.

          They've made occasional comments that sounded like they planned to crack down on some of the wording in ads. That would be huge, but it probably wouldn't be advertised the way this was as a standalone announcement. As part of something bigger... yeah. Could be. Certainly wouldn't break my heart.

          Doing this would make recruitment of some categories of advertisers easier. There are a lot of people who wouldn't want their names or products near the sorts of claims made in some of the current offers, but would love access to this audience.

          This would also make sense as part of an in-house payment processing/affiliate system. If the same entity that handles moderation gets a cut of each sale, the liability formula changes.

          It could also be a change to a more mobile-friendly system. Make this thing work better on cell phones and you've got a game changer. I expect that's coming soon. Whether it's the change they plan to announce... who knows. Wouldn't surprise me, though.

          In fact, I think I'd put that near the top of my list of likely options at this point.

              Yes, Claude is booked on the one way mission to Mars in 2023!

              His official mission is to entertain the troops, so they don't go Ga-Ga, but unofficially his mission is to seek out new life and civilizations, (know that l have heard that before) and sell orders for his vacuum cleaners.

              There is also word that he will do a feasibility study to see if esablishing a Mc Donalds, is possible, (enough humans, or dumb aliens, and an atmosphere).

              But seeing and classifying fluffy bunnies, is a hobby!

              Well, that and pole dancing!

                I hadn't realised you were a pole-dancer, Shane. Funnily enough, that's an ancient Martian pastime, too: there's evidence of the remains of the poles among some of those pictures that NASA's little toy sent back ...

    It is now coming in 5 days. We have
    shown what we have in store to a few
    big Internet marketers who have been
    in the space for years and have made
    millions of dollars online. Here is what
    they have to say:

    marketing landscape and will allow

    and easier"

      Maybe we can get one of them to spill the beans early
      You got the above email? I didn't. Now that the WAMA bunch seem to be in on the secret and the language used above, I have a guess, but it's just a guess and I wouldn't call it something everyone has been asking for, nor would I call it something everyone will like, but something that would be palatable to the WAMA level players here.

    Since home made potato salads have become so popular lately on the web, I bet Alaister is going to make his own potato salad.

      Sounds like the WF is launching it's own version of Adwords?

      Hopefully without the annoying "walking on eggshells rules" rules that Google has!

        I doubt that. My guess is that they are launching their own in-house version of Warrior Plus with affiliate platform and that they will charge you a percentage of every sale you make in addition to the listing fee... and that you won't have a choice to use your own payment button, as I do, with DLGuard.

        That's my official guess.

            The only thing I have received in my mailbox from Alaister Low is the Autopilot Profit System.

            I have no idea if the offer comes with time limit and if it's any good. Has any of you jumped on it and tried it out??

            Is this the "something huge"?

            I have not received anything else... for now.

            Yeah, it was a good guess and until they do easily integrate with DLGuard and add a few more features I will most likely be staying with JVZoo or others.

            Cheers
