Do you trust me enough to want me to promote your product?

I'm not looking for Joint Venture partners. All I wanted was some recommendations for resources I can trust - not affiliate programs or joint ventures. Just good products and services I can tell people about.

    I'm not looking for 'stuff' to sell, but I do want to know if you have what you believe to be industry-leading products or services that you are committed to keeping that way.

    I don't pay much attention to what others are doing, so I could easily have overlooked some great things that could benefit other people (or me), so I want to build up a portfolio of products and services that I can happily and with good conscience tell others about.

    Obviously if you have no idea who I am then I wouldn't expect you to consider that I could properly represent you or your product/service, so this really only applies to people who have reason to trust me enough to want me to speak about what they have.

    If you prefer to PM with that's fine.

    Regards,

    Andy

      Thanks Scott.

      I've actually had a lot of PMs. I guess people are shy

      I'm not really looking for JVs or affiliate links as such, just a good portfolio of products and services that I can trust to recommend to people whenever they need guidance on choices.

      This isn't about me looking for products to sell it's about wanting to be sure that I'm aware of the best options for people when they ask.

      That's why the trust issue is important. I need to trust where I'm referring people, but also I wouldn't want to be promoting stuff from people who don't have a reason to trust me.

      My business is all about relationships. If I don't trust someone - I don't promote their stuff. Simple as that. If I do - then I'm happy to tell people about it.

      My issue is that I usually focus on my own activities since they're the only ones I control and so I don't necessarily know about some great resources that I could refer people to.

      I know a lot of people don't care about such things, but I'm only responsible for what I care about and trust is important to me. I told want to refer people to a great product if the person selling it is unethical or won't look after the people I send.

      So I figured it was time I asked around to see what good stuff there is which I can let people know about when the time is right for them.

      It's as simple as that.

      I'm already making good money and have a lot of things going on, so this isn't a desperate plea for stuff to promote.

        HI Andy

        I have a complete training product for beginner Internet Marketers. My target market is retirees, stay at home mums and the youth market.

        The product is delivered on DVD and then I offer full support.

        This is not really a hype sales product as such but more to teach people the skills in a step by step format. In other words I am not promising that people will make millions just teaching them the basics and then supporting them on their venture.

        It is actually the course I use to teach orphans and disadvantaged youth in Thailand and I use the money to be able to do the teaching without having to charge the young people.

        We have put through 27 students in Thailand with 100% success rate in getting them a good job or they are making money online because of the skills they developed.

        If you want more or I can send your a free copy let me know.

        Quentin

        PS: I mainly sell it offline on my trips back to Australia at the moment.

          Hi Quentin,

          That sounds perfect. Thanks. I'd love to check it out and refer people to you.

          I was talking to my cab driver here in Singapore this morning and he was saying that he had no useful skills that people would employ him for as he was over 35 and employers were looking for younger men. He had resigned himself to the fact that people doing better than him were 'lucky' (you wouldn't believe the number of times he used that word) and I thought that if only he had a more positive mindset I could help him quickly, so I know there's a massive market for this type of product.

          I'm also looking for more ways to help more people but that doesn't take my time away from the people who need me most, so something like this that I can have confidence in and that will help people who are coming to IM from outside with no preconceptions would be great.

          Thanks

          Andy

        Andy,

        I'm sure you will get quite a few PM's from people not wanting to post in the main forum and run the risk of having their post deleted for being reported as spam.

        One of the main rules has always been no advertising on the main forum and I'm sure there will be someone who will see this as an opportunity to nuke legit posts saying they are spam.

          I actually didn't post in the thread, because my site hasn't launched yet. I'm not spreading my ideas all over an Internet Marketing forum before a launch.

          Looks like you were right - it happened.

          That closes the thread for me. I'm not after JVs or Affiliate programs - just good resources I can trust.

          I have no interest in people contacting me for JVs, I didn't start this thread for that purpose.

    There are quality companies and quality business plans that are proven. Likewise, there are just as many and even more that are not worth our time or the expense. To understand the differences we need to take the time to research and then decide if the company is right for us. First, you should understand that in most internet marketing endeavors, you will own your own business and decide Who to trust in internet marketing .
