Good grief Planes, thanks for basically calling me an idiot that got scammed or a shill for nicheblueprint (i'm not sure which one you're saying i'm more of in this case.)
I agree, 100 percent of all of the niche blue print sites are shills by affiliates promising the same usual get rich schemes that any other IM marketer does like the ones you mentioned- but that's the affiliate making those claims. I'm not a fan of affiliate marketing and i'm not a person that could succeed at it based on some shady affiliate marketing techniques out there. I'm just not great at sales for products that don't sell themselves.
Even the Salehoo affiliate shills and their websites make Salehoo seem like the drop ship list paradise, even the 'salehoo sucks' sites eventually recommend this place down at the bottom of their pages with an affiliate link back here. A diligent person could find these suppliers in here on their own, so why pay for Salehoo? Eventually you find enough *hopefully* honest posts that make joining Salehoo worthwhile. Ooops, Surely I must have gotten scammed when I signed up here.
The shady techniques that affiliates use are usually to post on boards and forums and place backlinks back to the sales page or sales site either with cloaked links or some other hidden click method. All of the hyped quotes you posted in the post after me looks like something right off of those affiliate sites anyway and could also be found on other affiliate products as well and could easily apply to weight loss, better memory, herbal supplements, make money, etc .
But anyone that packages informations that's found for free and markets it to the public to make a buck is considered a scam? So that would also mean that the folks that get their oil changed are getting scammed because only an idiot would pay to have someone change their oil or even change a flat tire... why? because there are free videos that show how to change oil and tires on the internet plus it's something they teach in school for free. People are soooo stupid for paying for an oil and flat tire change, lousy sheep are getting scammed I suppose. I'll include myself as an idiot for getting my oil done at jiffy lube and using AAA when I get a road side flat.
Someone could easily join here, take all of the useful info here from the genuinely good posts and create a 'Wholesale and Droship Tips from ebay Pros' ebook and dump it on clickbank only to have affiliate fools make money for them. That would be a great scam. On that note, whats the motivation for these eBay power sellers to pass on their tips to people? Surely they could just keep mum and rake in the cash.
I will agree with your previous posts and very last post though. Hey, special thanks making me out to be a pusher of niche blueprint or a seminar poster, i'm far from that. The information is out there for free for people who have the time and wits to research that info. Would I recommend Niche Blueprint to anyone else... NO!
Do I regret my purchase? So-so, because it's one of those things that end up being 'Duh, I should have know this or figured it out later.' I will however state that the founders are real people that are selling information and none of those four folks have promised or control what their affiliates say or do, much like Salehoo doesn't stop their affiliate shills from making outrages claims on a mediocre, and sometimes dated, retailer filled drop ship directory.
Now, I wonder about the motives of the seemingly successful members of Salehoo that post here religiously shelling out advice. Some have said they have their own successful business(es) and yet they keep posting here when they should be on vacation, a trip, or whatever else profitable business folks do with time to kill, yet they end up here posting useful info for folks like me, what's their deal? I can understand Jimmy's motives because he's pushing PPWDG, yet he also makes useful and informative contributions like the other senior/master members do. However, now I have to examine future posts from these folks more carefully to find their hidden agenda.
In the end, I agree with your merits Planes, so I'll close this post with your own quote because it's only appropriate for anyone looking for the bottom line:
'With a little search you can find some excellent forums where the pros go to share info about Google search.
Find your product first, design a website or have someone do it for you.
Then make it live!'
