Is It Just Me Or Do Most WSO'S Seem To Be Junk These Days?

Thanks for the laugh man. The sad thing is, it's true - You know it's bad when people are selling WSO's on how to make WSO's that sell more WSO's about creating WSO's.

You can still find some good products here and there, but some of them are downright garbage. I guess it shows people still want the dream instead of a proven, workable plan.

There use to be a time I could spot junk but now every WSO seems to be on the upsell bandwagon which confuses me a little. At that point Im not sure if the wording in the sales letter is pertaining to the one time offer or the upsell.

Ouch. Rough delivery there...but it's true.

I suspect WSOs might appear to be junk if you already know what's in them...but what about for the people who are just getting started? Not everyone's ready for advanced stuff...you have to roll over and fart in your crib a few times before you're ready for the Olympics. If you're having a hard time finding stuff that you don't already know...it's time to quit buying and start USING what you know.

You know what I hate Paul? I hate it when I keep hitting myself in the throat with a whiffle ball bat. It hurts like hell I can tell you. If there was only a way to make it quit hurting.

Wait a sec.

I guess I could STOP repeating the behavior that is hurting me. But that would be too simple of a solution.

So I'm back to smashing my throat again. If only there was a way to make it stop without actually having to stop it myself.

There are always Diamonds in the rough. I've recently purchased some very good WSO's. It's the price you pay for Education, just like a doctor, attorney, tradesman, etc...

I spent over $300 this week alone. :rolleyes:

P.S. I try and buy a WSO that has a good Guarantee so if I feel it was marketed incorrectly I'll ask for a refund.

Probably the biggest hit is that people see something on the WF
and think it must be great. What do you do? Make people check
off a box that they have read the warnings given?

Mike Anthony, I should have been read:
The problem is more related to people not doing a little free research before
pulling out the ol' wallet. Hasn't Mike Anthony duly noted that before?

I wonder where the fault of that lies

The WF thrives on an overall feeling that getting rich is just one magical step away.

The bottom line for me is, if 100 products are listed, how do we know that 51 or
more are not worth it?

Consider this:

A product says it can increase your earnings by over $50 a day. You buy it
for $100. You manage to to see only $5 a day increase. What is your
judgment of the product? Can you call it a scam? Junk? Not worth it?

50% true.

There was a thread recently from a WSO seller who was very PO'd off that someone requested a refund on his $7 WSO within a couple minutes of downloading it. This created a thread full of angst toward people who refund, and recommendations to blacklist anyone who requests a refund. This also led to suggestions about creating a "list" whereby any WSO seller can add the info to this master list so that every WSO seller who opts into it can pre-emptively block refunders.

I've never bought a WSO. I've been given two WSOs to review, and provided reviews of both. No payment or favour of any kind was asked. I reviewed both before that thread came up, and in fairness to the WSO sellers I reviewed for, neither commented in that thread.

However, after reading that thread, and knowing that about 2-6% of all digital downloaders will refund (the price of doing business and it isn't unique to IM) for whatever reason (legit or otherwise), I'm not buying a WSO from anyone. Nor doing any more reviews.

A 100% satisfaction, no hassles guarantee with a hidden policy such as this is not what the policy claims to be. It may be in a literal sense, but not from the spirit of "good faith" such a guarantee implies.

A valid comparison is to my favourite electronics store that offers a 30 day no questions, no hassles, cash refund policy. I buy there because they are true to their word: out of the many products I've bought there over a 10 year period, I've had to return 2 of them. They are a fraction of the money I've spent there. If the unspoken part of the policy was that I'd be banned from the store if I had to take them up their guarantee, not only would they have lost my repeat business (which in large part is do to the reassurance the guarantee gives), but they never would have gotten any of my business to begin with.

It amazes me that while a big box chain can eat this on a physical product that is going to require expense on repackaging/returns, they're able to see the big picture and simply eat this as a cost of doing business because they know that their REAL guarantee will more than offset the modest expense incurred through the handful of refunds issued. Yet WSO sellers, who incur no expense, and have the same refund rate as every other niche in the digital download game, resort to these underhanded tactics. And it is underhanded - no matter how you parse it. If they stated that along with their guarantee, then fine - that's transparent and the person who opts to download based on this "guarantee" is well aware then of exactly what it entails. Until then, its an underhanded practice that while not dishonest, is not transparent and is very much at odds with the how they bill their guarantee.

And the WSO sellers who don't like that can flame away because:

a) I'm not in your niche and have no interest in getting into it. The IM niche today is very reminiscent to me of the dotcom bubble just before it popped.

b) I've dealt with more face to face in my life to be cowed by someone who will resort to flaming because they don't like my point of view. Having dealt with death threats from psychopaths in my prior line of work, forum attacks are about as intimidating as a loose hamster.
