Complaint

I am retired and am now living in Ecuador. You are discriminating against not only me but any other retired American. My two union pensions I received them on between the 1st and the 3rd of each month. Then my Social Security check comes on the 4th and the 5th. How can I buy any of your products if there is an end of the month deadline.


I think that the Warrior Forum should be able to give us an ID Number so that we can buy products that we desperately want.


The sellers here are missing out on a great amount of buyers.

  • You're kidding, right?

    Even in this politically erect day and age, 'inconvenience' does not equate to 'discrimination.'

  • DISCRIMINATION Hmm interesting way of looking at it GTCRESSY,, may I suggest that you put aside some money from each of your pension payments and Social Security checks for what WSO/products you are interested in purchasing..
    really you can't expect the WF to make changes for you and other retirees..ie special ID numbers..if that ever did happen every other group would want special consideration as well.

    As Paul as rightly stated in his own way...not gonna happen mate.

    • I wasn't even thinking about the practical end of the post. It's just amazing to me how prevalent this mindset of "I don't like it (or understand it), so someone must be doing something Evil" has become.

      I see this nearly every day. It's gotten to the point where it seems like the primary thought process for a significant chunk of the members here.

      From the practical perspective, the first problem with the idea is simple: We have nothing to do with the sale.

      The forum sells ad space, and has no part in the transaction between the buyer and the seller. If you want that kind of "delayed order" system, you will need to convince Paypal, Clickbank, 2Checkout, WarriorPlus, JV Zoo, DigiResults, and any other payment processors that may be used by the members to handle the money.

      Good luck with that.

      Then there's the problem of how this would affect limited quantity offers, or deals where the price increases with each X sales. Given that most people who'd ask for the special code would probably never end up buying, that could create all sorts of chaos, not to mention reckless idiots accusing the sellers of fraud for "floating" price points due to those unclaimed codes.

      ... and some level of real fraud based on using that as an explanation.

      It would take all of 3 days, I'd wager, for folks who weren't part of the defined exception group to start claiming they were. More BS injected into the process by people trying to either game the system or break it.

      And then there's the very real problem of other groups that would demand the same option. Students and single parents come to mind immediately. And, of course, anyone who claims to be...

    • 2 union pensions, a social security check and low cost of living and you run out of money to buy a product by the end of the month?

      Need to budget your money sounds like to me...

    • Derek,It's not that complicated. We used to have to work just to get online, and we had to develop tools and systems when we wanted to do something. A helpful tip was genuinely appreciated, because it could mean the difference between quickly succeeding at something and watching it fall apart (or never get started) after days or weeks of effort.

      Now, it's easy to get everything set up and people expect it all to be handed to them in sound bites of 50 words or less.

      All the rest of the differences arise from those.There's a fair amount of overlap, but again... different groups. My subscription page is over 2000 words, and promotes a free book that's over 100 pages. My articles are usually not short, by any meaning of the word that's common in this industry. And a LOT of my subscribers are from well outside the IM field.

      Different groups, with different needs.

      Michelle,Ummm... Yep. I know, ma'am. We see it every single day.

      You'd be amazed at some of the spew that hits my PM inbox.

      Alex,That's mostly for the benefit of the folks who may not quite grasp how things work here, or why they're different from a local department store. Although, hell, lots of department stores won't issue rain checks on sale items, even to seniors.

  • As someone who is supposed to be old and wise you don't seem to appreciate your current situation. You technically get free money every month and have the freedom to live abroad. Many of us "internet marketers" will never see social security checks and pensions when we retire. I'd suggest you stop complaining and work your ass off like the rest of us.

      Let's not start throwing unrelated stones, eh?

    It occurs to me that if you're spending the entire amount of your three checks each month before the end of the month arrives, that you might want to stay away from buying non-necessities and stick to necessities (such as food, clothing, shelter). If you have nothing left over by the end of the month, I don't see how you could afford these products.

  • Actually they're not; study upon study (and my own metrics) have shown very consistently that these "deadlines" actually increase sales, not diminish them. Just a thought.

  • You mentioned about a target market - thanks for that , but if you really want a product you can work out with the product creator something in return - a video , a good blog article or anything which you have expertise on

    Many a times if you send a decent request some of the product creators may give out a review copy too ( does not work always)

    But you can always barter for something - share anything of value based on your experience/expertise & sometimes you may get the product at no cost

    Example - I am willing to give some of my WSO's if you are willing to create quality original articles, Videos , blogs for me
