    Hi Jon,

    The Firesale is obviously a good deal!

    Having that much value for the $97 price tag seems like a no brainer... but,
    the problem I have with this type of package is the "information overload"
    one would definitely have...

    Can you imagine how many hours one would need to go through, not to mention learn,
    so much material!

    Regards, Pete

      Well I may be biased since I contributed to this firesale as well, but Im sure anybody can see that its certainly a good deal. Not sure, but most of the products seem to be retailing currently so this is not a sale of some junk items like a lot of fire sales are.

      But yes like pete said. information overload would be obvious side effects of such a purchase

      Interesting comment lol

      I was just watching a Frank Kern video tonight where he was talking about people choosing not to stay with his monthly program because of information overload and the amount of material he sent them on the front side for the cost of shipping....

      The whole time I'm thinking Frank is full of crap, then I see this comment.

      It will be interesting to see how the market place deals with this. Obviously it is at least somewhat an issue if Kern had problems with it and then Joe Consumer says it looks like a great deal, but it's just too much stuff

    Wow. Sensational marketing just to get all those products, and definitely worth the price asked, if you want just a couple it's worth buying. Might purchase it myself, having that much content from that many top marketers is bound to come in handy be it directly or indirectly.

    However... I do agree with the above. You're not going to finish reading 25% of the content in that package, much less 100%. Information overload indeed. :p

      Be aware that you have to opt-in for most of the products and download them all individually so if you want them all you're going to be kept busy for a while!

      Call me cynical but no wonder there are no refunds...

    I'm afraid I may still have a little hard drive space left after downloading everything. What am I supposed to do if that happens?

    How do these Firesales work on behalf of the people involved?

    They all chip in... but how do they benefit out of it? Just the fact that people have to opt-in to download their stuff?

    Do they get any cuts of the sales?

      I've got a product in that Firesale. I'm not getting any money and I don't ask for opt-ins. I just like Vince.

      It can't always be about the money. It sometimes is about interaction and helping each other. This time, I help Vince and another time he'll be there when I need him. In fact, last year he was my top affiliate for a product launch.

        Every contributor has their own reason and purpose. Most are trying to get people on their list, and make money some other time by promoting his/affiliate products.

        It can't always be about the money. It sometimes is about interaction and helping each other.
        This one is the most profitable

        Being a friend of big marketers is like having your own 'money on demand' system. Kevin, You must have started building your relationship with these big guys years ago

          LOL, obviously you haven't met Vince in person. He barely comes up knee-high to a grasshopper. He makes Edmund Loh look kinda tall.

          However, in ambition and heart, Vince is big.

    Matthew, they get buyers on their list, exposure, commissions on sales they make. With most offers like this, the contributors would not get a cut of overall sales.

      Ah, that makes perfect sense. Thanks.

      I am going to have to look into this stuff.

    An email? I've received about 50 emails about this! I'm impressed how he got so many people to promote this. You do get a lot of stuff for $97 that's for sure. I passed though. I'm trying to minimize my time spent consuming products so I can continue creating my own.

    I would pay $97 for a single product if I can reach the product's owner.

    I think I can't expect a good support from this package.

    What I should do if I need support from product A in the package?

    And I love Alan's comment...

    Thought I should chip in some of my opinions on the Firesale event, since I'm also a contributor and Joint Venture partner:

    1. Information overload appears to be the recurring theme of concern. Now honestly speaking, this isn't the first event where a lot of products are being bundled together in a package. I'm thinking of the Marketing Main Event series and Turbo Big Bang now, in fact.

    It's going to be difficult to humanly possibly grasp everything in the package in a go. But for just $97, using a fraction of the products is more than worthwhile considering at the individual prices each products are selling elsewhere. And the rest of the products can be saved for later use.

    To me, this is really the least of concern. I've bought into some Firesale events with a good number of products coupled with their good deals. Admittedly, I don't use every one of them yet for what it's worth, the fraction I used brought me in a nice profit many times more than I had invested in the initial price. :-)


    2. I know Vince on a personal level and his customer service is among the best ones in my book, especially for a one-man entrepreneur. I'm talking about him replying mails and support issues in minutes most of the time. (but of course he's human too so he needs sleep lol)

    That being said, I'm sure if someone has a problem with a contributor product, just hit Vince up and he'll get it done for you.


    I'm not gaining any profit from saying all these, but I just want people to know that Vince is not to be likened to some snobbish marketers or 'just another guru' out there. ;-)

    In fact, he's a generous person and is selfless with his wealth of information. Case in point: he helped me out with my own product launch earlier this month and his advice resulted in Stephen Luc and I making an extra almost $16,000 in the final 24 hours.

    Dear Warriors

    Since I'm the host of the Firesale Event, I think it's only right if I'd answer the questions and concerns personally."

    Thanks for all the comments posted Firstly let me just talk a bit about this project background. It started 4 months back. I started negotiating with over 200 marketers to pull in their paid products all into one package. Its going to be uphill climb for sure cause getting them to check my email, reply, say yes, prepare their product and contribute them in. You know getting them to do 1 thing is already difficult as they are so extremely busy not forgetting most of time its their assistant looking through it.

    We know economy situation is bad. This $97 package is crafted in such a way, if you look at it, there are enough resources in there to do all you need to start making money online. Ebooks for knowledge, Software for implementation, Ads credit from 3 network for you to start using and advertise with zero cost and a whole lot of stuff. So I was trying to make sure i get as much based covered.

    Ok in regards to information overload, its true. there are way more than enough stuff already out there. I don't expect everyone to grab them all But picking what they need. I try my best not to overlap the contribution. But at least enough to touch on different aspect such as traffic generation and affiliate marketing.

    Kevin Riley is a true champion I know he is not a fan of firesale. But he has bee extremely supportive and gave us a hand by putting in a great product. Kevin is a bigger marketer than I do. so please watch his steps. I only been in internet marketing for less than 2 years. I was out for most of this year due to breakdowns in business and life.

    Chris, been trying to get you Gina / Jeff was looking for you for me. hehe

    Seree, support on my site will be by my team but I can't control the support quality from the contributors.

    Benz, yes you need to optin to their list to get the products because they are supporting the product and update you when their product gets updated. Its the same if you buy 100 of those out there one by one Somehow i still get refund request for this reason but very little. I dont offer refund because of obvious reason and its mention straight
    to them on the copy hehe

    In a nutshell, i am trying my best to give the market a great deal at times like this.

    and Ed, thanks for the comment. by the way, I made no sales for Edmund's launches most of the time ... for some reason my list doesnt work at all for him. So for him to say about me says a lot more about him

    Please post any questions you may have. Will try my best to reply

    Thank you

    Regards,
    Vince Tan

      So how come you don't mention this in your sales letter? Perhaps because you knew it would reduce your sales? Maybe the lack of refund requests was because you said up front there was no money back guarantee. (What's the obvious reason for not offering refunds? Doesn't make any difference to the contributors. Even if purchasers ask for their money back and still download the products, the contributors still get their opt-in so why would they care?)

      I can't believe everyone is so accepting of it. It would take many hours to opt-in and download every product individually so all of a sudden $97 for 100 products doesn't seem such good value after all.

      Can I suggest that next time you organise all the downloads on a single page and perhaps let people select the ones they want and download them in one go? You could make it a condition of purchase that customers agree for you to give their name and email to
      the contributor of every product they download which could be easily automated by having an email sent direct to the contributors autoresponder.

      This would be better for contributors too as purchasers are more likely to download their products.

      As I said previously, call me cynical but, although the products are better, this is little more than having to pay for a free giveaway.

    Hi Vince,

    Thanks for your mention on how you support the products, I guess wrong that you will leave product owner handle it themselves.

    If this is the case, I've to re-consider about firesales event in the future.

    Anyway, your response prove that you are 'care' on your customers.

    Cheers!
    Seree W.
