    So…What Did You Think of the Affiliate Marketing Sham?

    You can learn a lot about marketing from other marketers’ messages and their delivery.

    In that vein, I’d like to know what you thought of the Affiliate Marketing Sham report [find out why this link was removed].

    Did you find it interesting and informative or piled high with hype? Did the report leave you concerned about the future of affiliate marketing and affiliate[link removed] marketers? Or, did you think ‘X’ was too dramatic in his assessment?

    What tactics does X use to build desire for his product? Does ‘X’s’ approach build trust and make you ‘hungry’ to learn more? Why or why not? What do you think of this marketing approach? Would you use it to promote your own or other people’s products?

    If you haven’t already done so, take a critical look at the Affiliate Marketing Sham [link removed], then post a Comment with your answers to the above questions.

    When enough comments have been posted, I’ll post a follow-up with my own thoughts on the subject.

      I think that this person may have suffered a lot of the same trashy E-Books and information that is foisted upon the unsuspecting newbie like myself.

      With very few exceptions, these E-Books offer to show one ‘How To’ and never follow through with anything substantive. If this is the way to market, they’ll have a short internet life.

      I enjoyed your book and have benefitted from it.However, you seem to be one of the few.

      I think it may pay these folk to build a genuine business if they wish to stick around. This person may have been rough with his accusations and wording, but out in the real world when I had my business, one only succeeded when the purchaser received a benefit for their investment.NOT the case for most E-Books — just a bunch of regurgitated trash.

      It seems this person is angry, also maybe an axe to grind. Wonder what type of affiliate program he wants us to join – it appears that he is creating one.

      Hi Rosalind,

      Could write a lot of negative things about X but I’ll keep it simple and just say it SUX.
