I bought a #1 course and don't recommend, Plus Fat N Fiction and Writing Challenge!
Published: Mon, 01/09/17
I'm going to be running all over the place today. I hate errands but it will keep me awake, and I need to break the "nap cycle" I'd been in. Such a nice perk of working from home, but also a horrible habit sometimes (especially when naps are 3-4 hours long).
The other day I remarked on Facebook about how something must have launched because I got several emails about the word "piggybacking." I didn't read them. I know most people don't actually review what they promote, so I didn't trust the promos.
Instead, today I happened to see it and I bought it for under $7 (said no to all the upsells) and decided to let y'all know if it was worth it. I even applied for a link in case it was good.
Here's what I discovered:
The teacher is good (which made me excited because I love thorough teaching) but...
Overview Video is basically another sales letter.
Video 1 is just telling you what you're about to choose.
Video 2 showcases where to go and doing direct commission promos.
Video 3 covers list building promo options.
Video 4 covers a strategy I've seen a lot lately and has a spammy slant imo.
Video 5 isn't a free method and I can't see a lot of people agreeing but maybe?
Video 6 is too spammy for me.
Video 7 isn't free but it is something many are doing. I don't allow it or do it myself.
Closing video is kind of a rehash.
Now the headline on the sales page says 2 things that made me buy it to review for y'all:
#1 - 100% Free Traffic and...
#2 - 100% New Method (even emphasizes You have NEVER seen this before - yes I have)
It was neither. Well, there were 2 free traffic options but both are spammy and I'd never use or recommend them. The paid ones were not anything I'd ever do, either. So I can't recommend the course.
I don't mind if a course stinks and I wasted under $7 on it. No big deal. BUT what I do mind is when people promote it. I end up questioning their judgment and wondering if it's a "friend promo" or desperation for commissions or what.
And what would be worse is if they DID take the course and promote it, knowing that it's what it is. I'm not one to bash products either, but just doing an honest review of claims versus what I experienced with the product lessons.
What sucks is - it's deal of the day and #1 product. I had high hopes - especially since it said new and free, which I know many of you would have loved (and needed).
Oh well. Did any of you take it? What were your thoughts on it? I'd love to know and whether or not you were happy or disappointed and what your thoughts were on whoever promoted it to you.
