The Conservative Old School & Their Fading Paradigm

100 replies
I'd like to discuss something that may jolt a few people but I think that it is time that this is addressed.

There are a lot of people in IM that are over 45 and just got into the "digital thing" a few years ago and have positioned their selves as somewhat of an authority on this site and others. They have an extremely conservative outlook and frame of reference when it comes to IM techniques, methods, etc. They bring an old school mentality to the IM world that simply doesn't belong any more. They are quick to label anyone using techniques and methods that they don't understand as cynical. Because of their irrelevant moral hang-ups...I've seen quite a few people get banned from forums and blacklisted.

I think that it's time to establish a new standard, a new code of ethics and a new approach to IM. I know that I am not alone on this and if you see what I see, let me know your thoughts.

Now, I already know that there will be some replies in this thread from some of the old school conservatives that will do exactly what is expected. That's the main reason why their old paradigm is fading...it's predictable.

      I'm not quite sure that a 'join date' and 'post count' is the best measure of somebody's knowledge of Internet Marketing.

      ... it is quite possible that this person has a six-figure business and spends the majority of his time perfecting that rather than being on the WF.

        Exactly...I always felt the judge-by-post count thing is like a return to high school.

          That's exactly Annie's point -- since the OP hasn't been on this forum for long, where does the knowledge about the members come from? (Indeed, the OP mentioned that some people on this forum have the problematic mentality, hence Annie's remark, I'd imagine.)

          I'm not trying to speak for Annie, but it seems that everyone thinks she was talking about IM knowledge, when she clearly stated she was referring to knowledge of WF's members.

          OK, carry on.

              Judging by the concepts of ethics and morality at which you more-than-hinted in this thread, I'd say you've decidedly chosen the wrong forum in which to try to make it.

              You have no point. If you say something is no longer relevant it is up to you in that same statement to share what you think is currently relevant.

              But you didn't take that approach. Most likely because you have no idea what currently works and what doesn't.

              But you didn't attack any one form of marketing that could be disputed or confirmed by other Warriors. Instead you made a definitive blanket statement against all Warriors over 45. Never mind the fact that some of us old timers may be paying more in taxes than what you gross in a year.

              Maybe if "most of the posts" are coming from "old school" types it's indeed not "fading" as you suggest?

              Maybe you missed the mark a bit.

              Us old-schoolers would call that "trolling" but the market dictates
              what tactics and techniques work. Many new school things only
              work short-term and often just drive market adjustments (changes
              in search engine algo, new email laws, new FTC laws, etc.).

              Change is good, but not change for change sake.

              As far as this forum is concerned, community members set and
              enforce the standards, and that has changed a LOT over the years.

              Old school marketing itself does work because basic human
              instincts and behavior haven't changed in a LONG time.

      legit business standards and creating value for the end users customers is the gold standard of offline and online promotions.

      when i started online 15 years ago it worked and it still works today. what we need is for "professional" internet marketers to stop using get rich quick tactics (spamming of any sort email, content, backlink....) that make the web as a whole a worse place for all of us to live, work, and play.

      You must create value for your customers, not trick a search engine. that business model wont last.

      Of course post count and join dates mean nothing. Sometimes people have too much time on their hands it doesn't always mean they have a successful business.

      Some people make money and take time to help others and contribute to the community while others just post to complain and whine about one thing or another.

      Once you have been around this business long enough you tend to just focus on your own business products and customers. After all that is what this is all about

            You're talking about a fading paradigm, but being very *hush* *hush* about it like the bad people will come and get you if you say too much.

            This leads me to believe that you are talking about making money by way of something not ethical, such as fake virus software, viagra spam ads, etc.

            Yet, you have also stated that you are NOT talking about something unethical.

            And you keep using the word "conservative" in a way that does not seem to apply. It almost looks like a political thing to be honest.

            In any regards, this is a forum for sharing ideas and information. You don't have to spell all of your secrets out, but you also can't expect people to read your mind.

            Now, from what I have gathered from reading between the lines in your posts, yes -- I do agree that in most cases these days that there is no quality in information and people aren't being helped enough, but I only see that in the internet marketing niche by way of most newsletters.

            So, I just said that - is that what you mean? and if so, why didn't you just say it from the beginning?

      exactly what old school mentality are you speaking of and what is the "new paradigm" you speak of? paradigm means viewpoint so what is this revolutionary new viewpoint you speak of?

    Ok...

    I hear you - I'm going to be 50 soon and I only got into the "Digital Thing" 38 years ago. Even though I was only 11, it did at least set the stage for highly successful career in electronics, engineering and development. Digital Newbie that I am, I could never be an authority here :rolleyes:

    They have an extremely conservative outlook and frame of reference when it comes to IM techniques, methods, etc. They bring an old school mentality to the IM world that simply doesn't belong any more. They are quick to label anyone using techniques and methods that they don't understand as cynical. Because of their irrelevant moral hang-ups...I've seen quite a few people get banned from forums and blacklisted.
    Unless you're talking about purely illegal methodologies or blackhat techniques that are sure to cause problems, I'm not too sure I follow you.

    I think that it's time to establish a new standard, a new code of ethics and a new approach to IM. I know that I am not alone on this and if you see what I see, let me know your thoughts.
    Hmmm...again, you're not defining the ethics of the "Old School" or what the new "Standard" should be so it's difficult to comment.

    Now, I already know that there will be some replies in this thread from some of the old school conservatives that will do exactly what is expected. That's the main reason why their old paradigm is fading...it's predictable.
    Let's see...Marketing 101 - Predictability. It's what makes business what it is.

    The real reason you'll get the responses you'll no doubt get is and was easily predictable, because as a newcomer to this forum you've failed to communicate exactly what the issue is.

    We need a frame of reference in terms of your definition of the old and new standards are, because you've left them open to interpretation.

    You're far too vague in your comments thus far to have a real discussion...I could say predictable newbie behavior, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you're not one.

      Are you going to get around to telling us what exactly it is you're talking about? It will make it a lot easier to tell if you are full of it or not. So far, I just hear big words like "con-serv-a-teevs" and "par-a-diggums" and such. What mentality, what's conservative about it, what's your big concept that's so different?

        Do you think that you can change from the inductive to the deductive when making a statement such as you have.

        It is a little difficult to work out what your points of debate actually are.

        A premise, inference and conclusion will help.

        Thanks

      your lack of understanding about how you might possibly convince others that your point of view is indeed relevant and may be correct is a much bigger indicator for me of your overall lack of understanding of the IM world than your join date or post count.

      this forum has new ideas floated around all the time. some are good ideas, some are just plain incorrect. but you cant just state that a change is happening and expect many very savvy people to believe you. you must explain yourself much better than you did.

      there is ? i suppose they will let us oldies know when we sit down to sing songs and play bingo in the big hall as we do each Friday afternoon.

      Then again i doubt when we are told about this new convergence taking place, most us wont give two hoots anyway and just go about tried and true conservative methods with the same predictable results.

      You started with a thread that included comments such as

      I have never released a clickbank product or wso ,,,
      And then launched a WSO.

      Don't know how to tell you this, but that's nothing new here. Jump in with comments meant to portray you as "different" and "expert" - and then start milking for money. Try for an "us against them" mentality.

      A few of us may be old and decrepit and outdated and conventional - but we've seen this sh** before.

      I do believe that your perception is off if this thread is any indication of which way the wind is blowing. Your statements are vague, at best. It seems to me that you are into using the words "conservative" and "paradigm" a lot which are simple buzzwords that mean nothing without something to back them up.

      In short, if you're not here to help then you're mucking about in the wrong sandbox, I think.

      You've been so vague that no one really knows what you are implying. How would we notice that you've noticed if we don't really know what exactly it is that you have noticed. Have you just noticed "old people" or is there some specific marketing techniques that you think are old school, and if so, what are they? And what the new techniques that you think are better?

        This is one of the funniest threads I have read on Warrior Forum in ages. I was laughing out loud.

        The original poster sounded his horn with a vague but provocative sounding claim, and despite many, many requests for him to say what the heck he means, he refuses to expand on it.

        To me, that's the very definition of worthless entertainment. So I'm out of this thread...

          I laughed so hard I spit my false teeth out on the keyboard and while I'd love to stick around to hear about this "new paradigm" I'm afraid that I only get 20 minutes to use this newfangled machine at "the home" and I need to locate my walker so i can take my nap.

      Here is my problem (I'm not quite 40 yet, though I am somewhat conservative):

      You say you want thoughts, feedback and discussion on the "old school conservative paradigm that is failing" versus the new school of thought you claim to represent and which you further claim is replacing the "old paradigm." Here is the HUGE gaping flaw in all of this:

      After reading 44 posts, including many from you, you have YET to define in any way what exactly this new school paradigm is. Which to be blunt and direct, makes it sound like you're talking out of your ass.

      I say that not to flame you, but a spade is a spade, and there are times when I prefer to cut through the chase and get to the point. If you have one to make, other than this vague undefined "new paradigm" crap you keep repeating (without ever defining it), by all means, here is your open invitation to do just that.

      well i have wasted enough of my time here, back to my old school way of doing things... hope they still work.

      btw...i am 31 and have been doing this for 15 years successfully. and i am proud to have used mostly "old school" methods to build a great business that has nothing to do with how to IM. maybe i will give that a go, everyone else is.

          You could make it even more obvious by typing words that mean things. You said you wanted to discuss this, but all you are doing is avoiding any kind of discussion.

          So let's do it. Let's discuss the **** out of it. I will discuss it WAY past the point that anyone cares. I promise. I'm down. I even brought my own box so that we can talk about what is outside of it.

          So you only want to discuss the new school paradiggum with the people who already know what it is, but you won't tell us what it is. So who exactly are you talking to? Or about? Or something? Or anything?

      ok jordan now we are getting to your point.

      but who is to blame the guy selling people tonight's winning lotto numbers or the guys buying tonight's winning lotto numbers from him?

      you seem to want to blame others for trying to sell their ideas of how to make money fast easy and with no effort when you and many others already know there is no get rich quick scheme that works.

      yes, someone will win the lotto tonight, but the idea that someone has the winning numbers and would sell them to you for $37 should make an intelligent person take a step back and think about what is going on for a second.

      Another perfect example of where you describe something you claim is broken, and hold yourself up to symbolize what it is you and your ilk are replacing it with, yet again you FAIL to actually state anything definitive as to what that is.

      My guess is you have absolutely NO CLUE about what this supposed "new paradigm" is, and that's why you can't even outline it.

      How many eBooks have most of you bought?
      Ebooks? Maybe one or two...Reports? a bunch from WSO's.

      [qoute]How may courses have you bought?
      None...Zip..Zero

      [qoute]How many different types of software have you bought?
      About 20 or so (many that require annual licening renewals).

      How many of them actually yield the results that they claim?
      All of the software I use ($$$$ annually) is vital to my business model.

      [quote]Who all of that to you?{/quote]

      Different companies...from Amazon to Zend.

    There are a lot of people in IM that are over 45 and just got into the "digital thing" a few years ago and have positioned their selves as somewhat of an authority on this site and others. They have an extremely conservative outlook and frame of reference when it comes to IM techniques, methods, etc. They bring an old school mentality to the IM world that simply doesn't belong any more. They are quick to label anyone using techniques and methods that they don't understand as cynical. Because of their irrelevant moral hang-ups...I've seen quite a few people get banned from forums and blacklisted.

    I think that it's time to establish a new standard, a new code of ethics and a new approach to IM. I know that I am not alone on this and if you see what I see, let me know your thoughts.

    Now, I already know that there will be some replies in this thread from some of the old school conservatives that will do exactly what is expected. That's the main reason why their old paradigm is fading...it's predictable.
    Well I am new in WF too and opened a thread a few days ago in the same line. However, I don't agree with you in everything you said.

    "They bring an old school mentality to the IM world that simply doesn't belong any more"

    Sure they translated the old school sales/marketing methods (very US based because in the rest of the world those methods are not effective at all) aiming to the passive consumer in desperate niches and targeting the "pyramid" scheme of building from the top and recycling marketing tools and ideas in ebooks/and how to make $ products,etc to the late cash strapped newcomers in need for some income.

    However, I don't think this is wrong. Is a valid and practical (I don't like it but its irrelevant) way and they have definitively a big piece of the IM pie. Obviously "they are quick to label anyone using techniques and methods that they don't understand as cynical....." because they have to protect their niche. I think is fair and IMO you or anybody should judge them or dismissed because is "old".

    I agree on establishing a new standards and approaches to IM but thats done by competing and creating better ways to do it not by dismissing the "old school" in a public forum.

    I disagree in a new code of ethics, I think you are crossing the line there. Lets better discuss about IM and not ethics because there is a very thin line .... especially in marketing.

      What about Scrabble? I'm really good at Scrabble. Also, what "this" are you even talking about. You still haven't said, and I REALLY REALLY want you to say it.

      That's a terrible way to have a discussion. I don't get it. You could explain it and I totally would get it, I promise. I'm totally smart. Straight A's in school and everything.

      And no, I won't move on. This isn't your forum, buddy. It's all of ours. You play in the sandbox, you play with everyone. And besides, I'm having fun. Aren't you?

      Let me guess... I can join your inner circle for a tiny investment of just $77? And then you'll reveal all your black hat secrets to me in a bonus eBook?

      So, you're criticizing the "old school" mentality of selling systems and eBooks and memberships to promote your own? Because everyone else is wrong, and only the elite few who buy your stuff will know the real secrets to making money online?

      It's about territory. There is no "check" or "checkmate." There is only control.

      This isn't chess. You've made your opening move. The "conservative old school" has replied. We've waited on your next move to explain what that is. Instead you keep touching the piece without ever moving it. In chess touch=move, you haven't moved, you instead keep taking your hand off the piece. That costs you game.

    'old school' still works on 'old customers, (not to mention, human nature has not changed much in centuries). Few use just a single funnel. You may find other sites targeting other clients in a different manner by the same business. Don't judge a book by one cover, most books these days get released with multiole covers designed to appeal to different personality types. Sales funnels on line need be no different.

    Glad to see that being a pompous ass isn't restricted to any particular age.

    I know....predictable, right?

    Hypocrites are rarely aware of their own hypocrisy, but trust me, you qualify. There is an age-old paradigm and you are proving it with your post. That paradigm is that the youth will always think the "older genration" should just get out of the way.

    See? You are actually doing the EXACT thing you seem to be speaking out against.

    This wins my vote for funniest thread of the weak [SIC].

    All the best,
    Michael

    It would help if you once again explained what you are talking about.

    Although it probably is the wrong forum to try to discuss this!

    Just went to your website - you're a hypocrite and a troll and obviously there's a WSO or other promotion about to land.

    Get a life...

    No WSO or Promotion is about to land. You old school cats think that you have me cased or figured out. You always think that you know everything and have seen everything. Just stop thinking.

      YOU JUST ADDED IT TO YOUR SIGNATURE - We're not blind, you know. We have you totally cased. We have you totally figured out. We have your number. We know all, see all, and GOD FORBID we should stop thinking. If we did, maybe your BS would start making sense.

      Now we can't even think?

      You've successfully painted a big old bulls-eye on your chest.

      I think it would serve everyone's interests if this thread were closed.

      I know I'm getting back to work.... but thanks for encouraging me to up my post count! Trying to get PMs as they're so valuable when you can't use them and so useless when you can. :rolleyes:

    Jordan, umm...I don't know how to tell you this, but umm....

    Hype is NOT a "new paradigm"

    You even remmbered the "old school" sales letter format and "old school" marketing cliches. Good job.
