Thanks for the comment!

Yeah, you’re right. One the one hand, it’s made us more vigilant, and that’s a good thing. On the other hand, someone had to get burned in order to show others how bad it could be. On the third hand, the next marketer who, with intent to deceive or not, attempts an income model like this, is going to get blown out of the water when we all remember THIS incident.

I sure don’t wanna be THAT guy.

What an expensive price to pay! All sorts of sales processes can be affected.

And the funny thing is that in this particular case he is probably now the marketer least likely to try that again.

Bravo!

Thanks for your comment!

It was your explanation that gave me my lightbulb moment on the whole process.

I understand your division. I felt the same way.

However, I’m one of those people who believe that if an idea stands up to the light of truth, it’s a trustworthy idea. Or in other words, if the marketer sincerely didn’t intend to deceive, then people openly discussing it won’t harm him.

When I think of it that way, my divisiveness melts away.

This is one of those issues where I was greatly divided.

On one hand, I didn’t want to think that I was the only person who missed the forced offer. On the other, I was sorry so many people were in the same position as myself.

Thank you for taking the time to step back and look at the whole issue.

Best,

Jeff

I think you’re absolutely correct. I’m quickly learning that it’s EXTREMELY easy to be distracted in this business. There is ALWAYS the next hottest book, a new shiny thing, another guru, etc.

FOCUS is a skill that we should practice. Not just give lip service to and say that we have, but actually practice. Remaining focused is the way we’ll accomplish our goals.

I understand totally Wulf when you say “I must say, the more I write about this topic, the more I become confused.”

The funny answer to that is “stop writing!” the real answer is just to pick one method that is genuine (article marketing, blogging, forum marketing…) and really go for it!

All The Best

K, I’ve gone through Day 1 of Simpleology (I haven’t even started Simpleology Blogging yet), and I must say I’m very impressed. This is an amazing experience, and I’ve only just scratched the surface.

I’ll post in my blog about things I’m learning. Wow!
