I agree with you on this.
The many worthless products that are being offered today as bonuses to another product is simply disappointing.

Bonuses are supposed to further add value to the main product and so should complement the main product and not the other way round.

Having been burned too many times, I rarely pay any attention to bonuses unless they are products created by the affiliate themselves (or his/her company)...and reasonably new. Most of the rest just clogs up my hard drive. Andrew Goulding andrew gouldings last blog post..Is John McCain Sarah Palin's Bitch?

great stuff – you are right some folks really tell you anything to make a sale…I had this guy Dan Lok chasing me for a while and was shocked about the old material he offers some of the stuff goes back to 2002

thanks and greetings from Kuala Lumpur

Hi Jack…
When it all comes down to it… No matter how brilliant the product… It’s all about service. Come to think of it.. Service is a product too.. Great Service.. Well.. Great Service is a Treasured Asset. It is the “Emotional Software”.. It’s the glue that brings it all together and gets us recommended.

Hi Jack, love your stuff. The Stomperboys have a pretty good offer. Yeah, I had a bout 5 lists trying to entice me.

Mark,

Not bitter, but definitely more willing than ever to expose the serious weaknesses in the system without regard for what certain people think of me breaking rank.

The stuff I publicly rant about is NOTHING compared to what I know about some very popular marketers. If I ever decide to just let it all out, man, I could take down some giants in this industry.

I just don’t want to sit back and watch people get taken anymore.

Saw this post after I purchased through an affiliate link. I went with Brad Callens offer with his keyword and seo elite offers. It will keep me busy until the TS package arrives who knows when. Mike Filsame offered 1/2 off a secret price < that was funny! Brads stuff seems dated I hope it is still useful. What do you think Jack?

Rick : thanks for trying to keep me on track by reminding me to take action and keeping focus. This is why I follow you.

Jack : You seem to be getting more bitter with every passing day? Maybe for good reason with all these launches the is air getting thick. It seems the mega gurus sense the end is near and they are milking the last drops from there niche. Thank you for providing this post so we can discuss this topic.

Edward: Your right! I need to get off some lists and get back to work.

No, there was no affiliate contest. I was pretty surprised myself, given the multitude of emails and the fact that it was, by “guru” standards, a relatively inexpensive launch.

Fortunately, I didn’t get bombarded by offers because I’d already unsubscribed from most of those lists. And, no, I didn’t buy John’s package. But, if I had, I would have looked over the bonuses to see if there was anything of value.

While I don’t believe in the lies, if John didn’t outright outlaw bonuses, I see nothing wrong in it. Marketing 101 teaches to define your USP. As as a smart consumer, I’d certainly take advantage of a bonus or special in the offline world if it was something I could use. They were taking a commoditized item (TS2) and making it unique to them…which I personally find a smart thing to do.

What I DID find interesting were the yet-to-be-created bonuses that were offered by some people. Gave the impression that everyone was waiting everyone else out to see what they were offering, and then scrambled around to put together a better offer….even if the components weren’t there yet!

Rick,

If there’s a contest, I’m certainly not getting the obligatory emails that “So and So is in the lead and all you need to do to take them over is sell 50 more!”

So the deceitful emails coming out from affiliates does look incentivised beyond commission, but unless I got left out of the contest, (I wouldn’t even win a toaster), there is none.

With my list and my reach, I’ve made a grand total of 1 sale, according to my inbox this morning.

People can say “great post” all they want, but bonuses and lies are definitely winning out over reason.

The offer I got from Jason Mangrum is pretty decent — he’ll buy TS2.0 for me — if I join My Internet Business at the Silver, Gold or Platinum level — but since I am already joined up in it under him, I might give Mr. Reese’s upgrade a pass this time around. In fact, I think I’ll just continue to stick with what’s offered in Authority Black Book (especially now that Version 2.0 is out [and safely ensconced within the depths of my hard drive]) along with the socnet-oriented material J comes up with. But Jason tends to do things differently. I mean, getpaidbygod.com? That is just too cool. As is Authority Black Book.
