ANybody in IM who isn't a liar?

Before you start slamming the people you bought these methods from, did you try Googling what solo ads were? Did you try learning the basics of how to build a website and what affiliate marketing was? Did you try anything at all?

Or are you just coming here to whine because you are too lazy to learn and found out IM was more that pressing some button that would generate heaps of cash for you? Your accusations are extremely unfair.

If you're unwilling to learn, you will never find a product out there that will help you.

If they really stole from you then report them to the mods.

If you can't understand it, then figure out what it is you need to understand. Take responsibility for your own purchases and your own decisions. You apparently feel you were ripped off twice now - does that mean you didn't learn your lesson the first time? You not understanding doesn't make them a liar or a scumbag - it just means you don't understand what you've bought.

Also if the product is so bad and it has a refund policy you may can get a refund.

Just like Jennifer said, sometimes it's the buyers who didn't the take the time to understand what they were buying,

That's definitely not the thing with everybody, but there are buyers who will buy something they don't understand and may never understand.

However, there are many IMers who DO just scam people and try to earn every cent they can get. Did they not explain it deep enough? Were they unclear?

Again, there are scammers, That's just how it is. This is in every industry; not just MMO.

Just do HUGE research on them before purchasing. Don't like it? Usually there are always money back guarantees.

Solo ads are a good way to advertise but they aren't cheap from what I have found and are usually about .50 or so per a click. What you are trying to do with them is the most important thing though. Do some research with the search button and find somebody to make you a killer sales funnel for a great product 1st and you should be good after that. Be prepared to do a lot of testing of your results in order to get a positive ROI as well.

I'm not Jennifer but what I think she means (and if this isn't what she means it's what I mean) is illustrated in this post: http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-...ml#post9549570

You bought a PLR package and were surprised that there was no PDF. If you had done a little research for free through Google and throughout the forum or maybe if you first downloaded some of the free offerings out there, you would have known that many PLR packages don't include finished PDFs.

Why?

Because they are designed to be changed. Change the name, the title, the contents, add stuff, put your own style and flavor into it. Add graphics, your own links, your own resources, your own preface, etc. That is how PLR works.

You and everyone else should know things like that before buying packages. The fact you didn't shows you didn't do your research. That indicates a kind of "laziness" in the sense that you didn't know what you were buying.

Whatever packages you are upset about now are probably the same kind of problem. You didn't know what you were getting into, swallowed the hype hook line and sinker, and now don't understand it. And because you don't understand it, everyone is a lying scumbag.

Now maybe the packages you are complaining about really are faulty. I gave you a couple options if they were. But if the fault is in you - you need to take responsibility for your own actions and decisions and figure out how to fix it.

Edit: Apparently I was posting at the same time as Jennifer. I didn't see her post before I hit the submit button.

You really are breathtakingly arrogant.

"you can't even perform a simple Google search to find out what a solo ad is and how you can use it"
How the hell do you know what I have researched? You know nothing.

"you want an easy button". Tell me where in my post I said I don't want to do any work?

You are a troll. Now keep your ill informed personal attacks and troll somebody else.

What on earth are you on about?

I suggest you read posts properly before you comment.
"You bought a PLR package and were surprised that there was no PDF. If you had done a little research for free through Google and throughout the forum or maybe if you first downloaded some of the free offerings out there, you would have known that many PLR packages don't include finished PDFs"
Tell me where a PDF was ever mentioned?

Terry - You want a little help and direction? Be more specific, and tell us all the pertinent details. If you were just trying to blow off steam - Than expect a little blow back, since you gave no information to support your accusations.

The majority of people here don't want to see you get scammed, and if it's truly what happened, go a little further in depth so we can judge for ourselves if it's credible.

Hmmmm...

Terrymate I can tell you that I bought a solo ad themed WSO that was above me* - and I am still digesting.

*
a) I still need to dig in deeper and figure out the specifics, but the gist makes sense
b) It involved a budget that was not evident when I bought it, but that's okay; I bought it from someone who put together a WSO - not a Lynda.com course.

My point is, I bought a Solo Ad WSO based on interest, hope, and trust (and value , considering it was only 7 bucks). In the end, there were some holes in 1) process and 2) undisclosed budget - but you know what? The gist was there, and I am feeling pretty good about executing it once I have the budget for it.

I do not want to discount the chance that you indeed invested money in a program that didn't deliver what it said it would. But I've purchased items that were not 100% what they promised, yet still offered me a boat load of information that I could use/fill in the the gaps to ultimately profit from.

Ugh.. what an ugly thread.. I don't know if arguing is going to really achieve anything positive...

terrymate: Yes, there are plenty of dishonest marketers around.. In your particular case I simply can't say. Just because you don't understand something doesn't mean that someone lied about the ease of use of it.

For example - I'm a hopeless cook. No matter how easy a cookbook is, I'm probably going to stuff up.. I'm just not a cook. So, for me, even easy recipes are hard.. for me. Does that make "Ed" author of "Eds easy recipes" a liar? No. It just means I'm a bad cook who doesn't have the patience to learn properly.

Now.. there are plenty of sites and articles around that have a wealth of information about solo ads... But if you're struggling with the basics you should probably start with PPC material to get a good foundation of knowledge first. Many marketers will skip over basic concepts like CR, CTR, EPC, PPC, etc.. because they assume most have the knowledge.

I'm yet to see any solo ad material that was too difficult to follow

My mistake on the 2 products. I assumed it was 2 products.

I know what it's like to feel ripped off when buying a product. But I also know that in almost every case that feeling of being ripped off wasn't fair because the biggest problem was me. I wasn't doing what I should have been doing. I wasn't following the instructions. My mindset was bad. Or whatever.

Until I learned to take responsibility, including doing my due diligence and researching author's pasts, I was going around in circles and not making any progress.

Some people will buy things without any research. For example, they have no clue what PLR is or a solo ad is or that you can put ads from Google on your website and make money. So when they buy products, many times they are lost. They had NO idea what Adsense was nor how to use it and when they buy the product they feel cheated because they don't understand it.

I'm not trying to mix things up by bringing in the example of the PLR problem. I'm trying to help you to ask yourself if the real problem with the product was you - just like it was for me until I learned better.

Many/Most people that cry scam are not scammed in the slightest. They get what they are promised but they fail to take consistent action as directed and then normally give up too soon. They then find something else more suitable or exciting but the pattern repeats itself over and over and over. That's one of the reasons we have so many posts by people that say they've been doing this for many years and still haven't made it.

Those that figure out the real problem are those that get ahead in this business and in life.

I'm wondering why would you purchase something without knowing at least what it refers to? - Solo ads are traffic that you purchase in order to present an offer of some kind to - either free or paid - with the objective of building your own list of subscribers. What is so difficult to comprehend there? I have no idea what you purchased, but anything to do with solo ads would be describing the process and steps you would take to construct said offers and optimize your chances of attracting the maximum quantities of people subscribing, so that you can then build a relationship with these people and market to them further.

Ok guys I think its not Fair to just blame it all on the guy, I think in the beginning its overwhelming and the promises on sales pages are very much hyped. So my good friend Terry what are you starting with? In order to give you directions atleast I need to know your budgets, your experience and so on. Thanks

I have met people who made $10,000s with just one WSO and I have also met people who didn't make a single cent after buying 100+ WSOs.

So guess what's the missing ingredient?
