Anyone else hate prelaunches?

Maybe it is just me but I find prelaunches annoying when prospective partners approach me to promote them.

When I am choosing to promote a product to my list, I am analyzing it in ways like these:
1. Is the product unique?
2. Is it a good offer?
3. Does it fit my audience?
4. Is the sales letter likely to convert well?

Most prelaunch pages just hint at some amazing system and don't tell me what the product will be about.
BEFORE I decide, I want to see the actual sales letter or at least a draft about it so that I know what I will be selling.

How else can I tell the quality of the offer and sales page and even if the product is of interest to my list?

    Agreed, I have stopped following prelaunch sequences. I have found it to mainly be a waste of time. I don't need more information than the info I can find here on the warriorforum. I also have a thousand times more information in here and on disk in products I have purchased already than I can put to use. So no more launches for me until I get something implemented that will bring in some money.

    "Just In Case Learning" is a bad thing...
    "Just In Time Learning" is a good thing...

    And I can get that type og learning in here.

      I guess maybe I have just seen too many bad prelaunches where they don't have the sales page ready, where I can't review the product, where the signup page is lame, etc.

      Perhaps it isn't prelaunches I hate but poorly done ones. Maybe if I could see a good one, I might like it.

      Sadly, they seem rare.

    There are plenty of good launches and pre-launches out there. It's just a matter of being picky about what you promote and not blasting out the first offer someone tells you about.

    For my personal list, and when I was an affiliate manager, I never mailed without:
    Getting the product in advance
    Seeing the sales letter (if the salesletter wasn't finished I needed to know at least who was writing the copy)
    and also get make sure I had the time to write my own emails to send out.

    Using those guidelines before jumping on a launch might help you have a better experience.

    I got so turned off by all those guys doing that stuff I unsubscribed from every list.

    Free, valuable content even if you don't buy? Yeah, right.

      I very rarely promote anyone elses stuff , unless i've had a really good look at the final offering and i think it's worth promoting. I actually like watching the prelaunch process some times it's excellent other times it fails miserably
