This post is going to be controversial and I am sure there will be a lot of marketers who are not going to be happy with what I have to say here… but I’m going to say it all the same because I think it is something you need to hear.

Aren’t you getting a little tired of all the hyped up launches that are popping up in your inbox every day? What really gets MY back up is when the product is no good at all and yet every man and his dog is trying to get you to buy it – just so that they can make a “quick buck” at your expense.

Today was possibly the final straw for me. I woke up to find my inbox literally bombarded with promotional emails for a particular product that promised a pushbutton solution to making a ton of money online.

SIDENOTE AND QUICK RANT: I’m not going to mention the product by name [EDIT: After several requests and further reflection, I see no problem in naming the product which is in fact CB Preditor as many of you already guessed] but I am sure if you are on a number of marketers’ lists you will have been inundated with promo emails trying to convince you to buy it. It IS however worth noting how many of these marketers have churned out “cookie cutter” emails directly from the “promo tools” without even testing the product for themselves – all in a bid to rake in a bit of extra cash from you and the rest of their list. RANT OVER

On the surface, this product sounded good but I was VERY skeptical and certainly didn’t want to tell my subscribers about it without having tested it myself. At the same time, I didn’t want to let my subscribers down by NOT telling them about a product that could change their lives for the better if it did all that was promised. (It is worth noting I will NEVER promote something I have not tried first hand myself.)

So, I decided to go ahead and order it myself so that I could see what it was REALLY like. I paid full price – just like you would have to do if you wanted to get it.

To say I was shocked by what I saw, is a gross understatement.

Unfortunately, it would appear that my initial skepticism was very much founded.

The product was not much more than a “souped up” version of Fantastico – something that you can get with all good hosting accounts. I won’t go into specifics about this particular product because it is just one of many I have seen promoted recently by a raft of “me too marketers” that really doesn’t live up to its claims.

There is another big problem with this particular product though. Just 4 hours after the launch I received an update saying that they had already sold 1000 units! Instantly I could see that even if the system DID work as it was portrayed, there was NO WAY it would work effectively for 1000 members, let alone the many more that have clambered on board since that update.

I’ve tested this product and am fairly certain that it will be difficult to make any decent money from it – certainly nowhere near the claims of the creators. My advice to you as a loyal subscriber and reader of our blog is that you don’t need it. You can do almost exactly the same thing with tools you probably already have or could get hold of extremely inexpensively.

What I really wanted to get across was that my credibility is worth more to me than making a few bucks. I do nicely enough as it is without having to rip off my loyal subscribers by trying to sell them something they don’t need or that won’t benefit them. I will ALWAYS give you straight-up, honest advice and won’t try to sell you things you don’t need. Please remember that.

Why is everyone looking for some sort of “magic bullet” anyhow? Are they afraid of a bit of hard work? My philosophy is that you don’t get anywhere in life without putting in the “hard yards” (unless of course you win the lottery – lol). I know I’ve had to work hard for what I have achieved and you should expect no different. We all have to make sacrifices to get where we want to be in life.

So – if you’re ready to put in a bit of effort, I have something for you

If you want to build a solid business online, then all you need is a solid PLAN to follow. Nothing more. You need someone or SOMETHING that you can follow and see gradual but significant results. I have such a plan for you and it won’t cost you a cent. If you follow it, you’ll be starting to make money online in no time at all. That I CAN promise.

Oh … and I’m keen to hear your comments on this post. Please DO add them below. And remember: I COULD HAVE EASILY promoted this particular product (and many others released recently) and made thousands, if not tens of thousands of dollars from those promotions… but I didn’t. There’s a very valid reason for that.

Your friend in success,
