Watch Out or Someone May Reveal Your BS

Author: I get notified whenever someone talks about me via Google. And if I get a trackback or backtrack or whatever it’s called, I see that here on the blog. I just saw this page that was a link back to my blog review on Blogging to the Bank:
Ouch!
Let this be a lesson to you – don’t game the consumers. All this “only 26 copies left” bullshit and rehashing old news with a new label only makes people mad and someone will blow your cover. That’s why I don’t do it – aside from the fact it’s unethical.
Now in regards to Blogging to the Bank, as I said in my original review of Blogging to the Bank 3, like the Douchbag marketer award” website guy, I too have always been happy with Benwell’s products – and I highly recommend that you own ONE copy of BTTB, but I saw no feasible reason to order it if you already owned a previous copy.
And if you go read my blog post, be sure to read the comments. People appreciated the honesty involved. Why can’t everyone just be honest? Geez it’s like a rarity in marketing. And a great way to make yourself stand out I might add! LOL

Tiff,
I agree with your sentiments. It is rare to find an honest marketer anymore. It seems, especially in IM, hype like “buy today or you’ll miss out on the deal of the century” is how some people are selling their products.
It is one thing to urge people to take action now instead of sitting on the fence but it can backfire if used too often as a gimmick. Customers do catch on and are turned off.
IMO, these snake-oil selling marketers have a tougher time building a sustainable business as compared to those who have built their reputations on trust and honesty even if it means sacrificing a few bucks in the short run.
Great post and thanks for sharing.
Hi Tiffany,
It’s the douchebag marketer awards guy, I don’t know that I want that particular brand, but oh well. Thank you for writing about my little project.
I created my little project because I just got tired of all the BS claims out there and had to say something about it all in a “not the salty droid” sort of way.
I’ve always appreciated your honesty and how upfront you are in your marketing and promotions.
Cheers,
Rafael
Hey Rafael! LOL Sorry about the moniker but it was funny. I’m glad I’m not on your hit list
